Moonlight Graham Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 (edited) Saw this on TV on an episode of Campus PD: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIgaTJTzLhs Love how the cop is protecting the Christian man from the rowdy crowd of college kids on campus. Several kids get close to him and I think one kid touched the man, and the cop backs everyone off and gives him space to protect this man's safety and right to freedom of speech. In Canada, the cop would probably be trying to get the darn Christian dude to go home...or at least the university student unions or administration would. Note, the Christian man is actually quoting the New Testament correctly when he says women shouldn't get divorced: http://www.mapleleafweb.com/forums//index.php?showtopic=20228 Edited February 9, 2012 by Moonlight Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THAT is why America is great? Because the police protect some tard from being assaulted by chicks with low cut shirts? Not the man on the moon thing? Bringing the world computers and the internet? Helping win WW2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolf Larsen Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Freedom of speech in America? Students in Ohio and Mississippi State shot down for practicing their freedom of speech. And currently Occupy Wall Street protesters being terrorized by brutal cops. One out of every four persons in jail in the world is in jail in the USA, mostly because of drugs. And now Pres. Obama has signed into law a bill giving the military the authority to disappear Americans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DogOnPorch Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 (edited) Yup...America: just tossing folks in prison for no reason what-so-ever. Meanwhile, in Canada, court cases involving homicide get thrown out due to extreme court constipation. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/story/2012/02/10/bc-courtdelays.html Edited February 14, 2012 by DogOnPorch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 No other country protects freedom of speech like America. Although preservation of that freedom is a never-ending battle as leftists continue to assault that right. Canada should learn lessons about freedom of speech from America.

Guest Peeves Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 (edited) Only if correct = dead wrong . You deny the USA's laws on free speech are superior to Canada's? In what respect Shit Trudeau took issue with calling honor killings (I think ) barbaric! Human rights tribunals charge those that deal with Muslims, gays, Jews, things that free speech allows in the USA to their credit. Canada's hate speech is a restriction of free speech (qualifier), unless violence is suggested. Either we have rights to our beliefs, convictions and opinions and the opportunity to openly express them, or we have no free speech. I should have a right to offend you. Being offended should not result in a repression of my free speech. If I question the number murdered by Hitler, the Holocaust number murdered the terrorism in Islamist Muslim that certainly should not be restricted speech.
