Free speech?

Islamic extremists have been protesting…about the right to free speech. Has the world finally gone completely mad, or was it always like this and I just hadn’t noticed?

UK- YOU WILL PAY!

Quite a catchy chant you must admit… it’s been stuck in my head for the last few days- especially considering no UK newspaper has yet published the cartoons. I suppose BELGIUM- YOU WILL PAY doesn’t have quite the same moronic rhyme…

but then “USA - you will pay” does.
As does “if you’re gay - you will pay” and so on and on and on and …

Geeklawyer rather agrees with Ruthie: protesting about your right to free speech
while seeking to prevent others insulting Mohammed/Yaweh/Jesus/Buddha/the Spaghetti monster etc. is stupid. I have the right to mock you, your religion, your clothes and to say offensive things about your prophet or God.

Don’t like it? tough shit.

Geeklawyer: minimalist legal arguments for maximum billable hours.
