pachapapa Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Oh goody gum drops it seems that in France I still have the right and privilege for free thought and opinion.http://www.20minutes.fr/societe/888279-negation-genocides-loi-jugee-inconstitutionnelle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pachapapa Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 Oh Dearie me! I spoke too soon it will be just a short period of time before the evil dwarf muzzles me again with threats of imprisonment.http://www.20minutes.fr/societe/888339-negation-genocides-nicolas-sarkozy-demande-nouveau-texte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyh4 Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 So still free thought and opinion, just not a right to express that opinion. Muzzling a dangerous dog does not improve its behaviour. But it does protect those around it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NormanH Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Isn't it better to know who thinks what they think?If you can't express your opinion no-one knows what it is and so nobody can ever discuss it with you.Taking things to extreme one could say that any madman can believe what he likes as long as he doesn't tell anyone.How could he be diagnosed and treated in that case?

andyh4 Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 My apologies PPPThere was nothing in my post that was supposed to imply that I thought you as a dog, although I can now see that it could be taken as such.It was meant to suggest why on some ocasions a restriction on free expression might be important. FWIW I am less than convinced about the Armenian case - not because I do not believe that there was genocide, but because I think that it is pure political posturing as a vote winner from some 500000+ Armenians living in France with French nationality and French presidential votes.

Nice honest people, never let you down.Cheers, malcolm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
