Hey Rich...how is that off topic? After all this is rock'n'roll. They
even mention a band..."a group calling itself the Jedi church ". I bet
they're a metal band.

It's the Dark Side, not hate.
"Luke, I am your father.
That's impossible!
And Leia is your sister!
That's improbable?
And the Empire will be destroyed by..EWOKS!
That's...highly unlikely.

We have laws on religious hatred now. It means that the rights of
Islamic preachers are protected when they pour scorn on our culture and
values but when we criticise the violent nature of their religion, we
can be arrested for a hate crime.
Anyway, the point is that if one dressed as an imam and attacked the
leader of a mosque, it would count as a hate crime. I'm surprised that
the Jedi thing wasn't treated the same way. But then, there are laws
for them and laws for us.

Where? In Britain? There is no protection of free speech anywhere in
Britain.
Hate crime laws are all, all, all Wrong. Doubleplus ungood.

No, you're not. Now, if it had been a devotee of my newly formed Church
Of The Sacred Roadrunner (beep! beep!)....

Not for the English.

Even more so when they only cut one way.

A logical fallacy. After all, the majority of the population are
law-abiding citizens. Should rape and murder be allowed because a
minority of dangerous criminals find them acceptable? Surely condemning
them is the tyranny of the majority.
The fact is that if a foreign population has opinions, expectations and
values that are counter to the country they are settling in, then they
should be turned away.

Re: OT - The Dark Side
Oof... this thread took a turn. I just thought it was funny as hell
that some drunk, wearing a garbage bag for a cape to look like Darth
Vader, went and attacked a bunch of major Star Wars fans with a
crutch. You can't make up that sort of story.

It is funny, but the evils of mass immigration and left-wing groupthink
are some of my favourite topics. Doesn't make me a hay8tr, though :)

Rape and murder are violations of people's rights, in a universal
sense. You don't get to vote on fundamentally wrong behavior. What is
in play is un-fundamentally wrong behavior. There is no way to twist
thought or word in such a manner to make out-and out rape or murder
acceptable.
This country was founded by people persecuted
for religious reasons, who just as soon as they could,
persecuted others for exactly the same reasons. So
we now have a tradition of tolerance.

Our tradition is to leave people to their beliefs. "Why" is simple - we
expect them to do the same for us.
