Freedom of speech and protest

[qldfrog]

Which is why you try not to import people believing in a religion which clearly states that you convert and join them or die, but hey we all know i am wrong and europe is a shining example on how wrong i am.

I disagree with the Green's religion.

I will never use words I hate, like the trendy and artificially constructed words "zhe" and "zher." These words are at the vanguard of a post-modern, radical leftist ideology that I detest, and which is, in my professional opinion, frighteningly similar to the Marxist doctrines that killed at least 100 million people in the 20th century.

I have been studying authoritarianism on the right and the left for 35 years. I wrote a book, Maps of Meaning: The Architecture of Belief, on the topic, which explores how ideologies hijack language and belief. As a result of my studies, I have come to believe that Marxism is a murderous ideology. I believe its practitioners in modern universities should be ashamed of themselves for continuing to promote such vicious, untenable and anti-human ideas, and for indoctrinating their students with these beliefs. I am therefore not going to mouth Marxist words. That would make me a puppet of the radical left, and that is not going to happen. Period

Israel Falou has been sacked by Rugby Australia for an Instagram post that reflects his very strong religious beliefs...

Israel Folau's decision to ignore Rugby Australia officials on Thursday led to the game's highest profile player being sacked in a dramatic fallout to a homophobic Instagram post.

Rugby Australia "terminated" Folau's contract after he failed to return calls, chief executive Raelene Castle saying the governing body had not heard from Folau since his anti-gay post.

It was another slap in the face for Rugby Australia officials, who gave Folau a chance to redeem himself after saying homosexuals would go to hell last year.

"In the absence of compelling mitigating factors, it is our intention to terminate his contract," Castle said.

Yes, most of our society does not fit that image at all, I do find it interesting that his beliefs are quite similar to Muslim beliefs.

I wonder are there any Muslims playing for Rugby Australia ?

Reading an article online it seems that it is acceptable to follow such religions but a player is not allowed to talk about it or post online on the subject.

Is that freedom of speech ?

I must admit that apart from Homosexuality, Murder, Rape and Witchcraft, I would be in Israel Folau's naughty corner.

I'm not interested in being homosexual.

I would find it difficult to kill someone, but murder would be out.

Rape is heinous imo.

I suppose that just leaves witchcraft, but it's practitioners are surrounded by anti-vaxers, people who live in Byron Bay and old dolls who smell of mothballs. So that's out.

It's a tough world earning good moolah playing Rugby.

How can that be a bad thing?
"Hell" awaits us!
We would be there with other fornicators and adulterers and liars. But keep our back's to the wall to avoid stabbing pains from themothas.

The conflict of the Rights of Religious Expression/Freedom of speech/ Hate speech is all coming together in the Israel Falou scenario. In fact it would make a brilliant Hypothetical !

Israel Folau's sacking from rugby union isn't the end. Sport must deal with conflicting human rights

Surely he did this because he wanted out of his contract?

Melbourne’s CBD ground to a halt today as a group called Extinction Rebellion hits the streets.

Hundreds of climate change activists staged a climate rally on the steps of State Parliament at midday, followed by a march through the city where they staged mass “die in” on the corner of Bourke Street and Swanston Street.

Demonstrators lay ‘dead’ on the road and tram tracks as a reminder of the earth’s extinction if nothing is done about climate change.

Not funny for those caught in traffic but quite funny to watch, the crowd looks to be having a good time.

Oh to be young and naive again

Naive or stupid?
The Hitlerian youth were having great fun in the mid 1930s
Never underestimate the power of crowds and the stupidity of individuals

Classic case if false equivalence, "liked" by those who we should never underestimate.

I don't find much that you post to be credible. It typically also lacks a logical base, as shown by this last one from you.
You might find that making a point which is also substantiated to be a more useful approach.

Oh Robee, it's because you are so ideologically one eyed, and as usual, you have to play the man. That is also an argumentative fallacy, you realise?

Again, baseless assertions and not consistent with logic.
If you have something to say which you are able to substantiate, then please go ahead.
