A man from Kent has been arrested for posting an image of a burning poppy on a social network site

Lol. You bang on about freedom of speech, but as soon as someone opposes your view you brand them a shill.

The irony is palpable.

The most effective way is without violence; we have to EXPOSE them for what they really are.

This is an attempt to suppress any resistance to government. It is unconstitutional.

i have to think you benefit in some personal way to support the idea of suppressed free speech. Law enforcement? Shill? You are assaulting my freedom of speech with an abstract viewpoint of "offending" someone; there is no definition, the law clearly intends to suppress government opposition..

And I repeat;

They do not even have a case under their own law; there is reasonable doubt to intent. Irregardless, the law is a violation of the first amendment if applied to the US.

What a joke. :hitler:

English poppies do remind of Chinese the opium war and their criminal invasive drug trade by the east India company too. So it's pretty offensive to the outsiders to see britons glorify their war criminals as the heros of their own.

Educate yourself

Also, irregardless isn't a word. You mean regardless.

This is complete bullshit.

08057 AGAIN.

Dude, your on payroll. Spotted.

Using a tactic of dismiss and ridicule is FAIL. Wikipedia is not an authority over the Constitution of the US; Perhaps YOU should educate yourself.

Your repeated responses indicate an agenda.

Are we sure this wasn't about a burning pUppy?

Not a pOppy?


Was there a typo?

This story makes no sense...burning a poppy???

Seriously?

a Puppy I can understand..

They are trying to support a government power grab and establish legal precident..

such fail.

Its not even a violation of their own law.

That word again lol.

No violation. Are you aware of the exceptions?

[link to en.wikipedia.org]

I do not agree; I do not stand under. You do NOT have my permission.

Burning a flag or burning a poppy, I may not agree with them, but I support their right to do so, anything else is hypocritical.

Is that what you say when you lose an argument?

How cute.

Please Don't Eat the Daisies.

So, the poppy also means the exact opposite of what the government stipulates it means in several other cultures?


This was a terrible place for them to try and enforce their fictions. It is fail.


So the very definition is abstracted by the fact of global jurisdiction; The UN must be sensitive to multi-culturalism if they are take on the role of global authoritarian.

Yea this thread is confusing. It must be a poppy and not a puppy.

How does one get arrested for burning a plant? Did I wake up in Russia? HA

There is no argument.

They got one guy policing the thread and pushing the police state; all else opposed.

Any one should be able to burn whatever the fuck they want as long it doesnt PHYSICALLY hurt someone else or their property.

You hear that all you emotional children out there?? Only PHYSICAL acts should result in broken laws in a supposed "free" country.

Freedom is more important than your ridiculous child like emotional offensiveness.

I agree.

Thanks for highlighting this twat.
Obviously works for Kent Police, paid £7.28/hr.

Again 08057, you do not have a right not to be offended.
I actually don't think what this guy did was right at all, but I SUPPORT HIS RIGHT TO SAY SOMETHING I DISAGREE WITH because someday I might want to say something, and I don't particularly want to end up in a Police Cell.

(But, if that's the price for sitting back and not complianing at twats like 08057, so be it.)

"Actually you don't have that right, you fucking idiot. That's not a real right.

People choose to get offended. Hell, if I walked outside with a red shirt on, someone could get offended.

BECAUSE THERE ARE NO BOUNDARIES TO THE WAYS IN WHICH PEOPLE MIGHT GET OFFENDED (THE POSSIBILITIES ARE LITERALLY INFINITE), IF YOU WERE TO MAKE IT ILLEGAL TO OFFEND PEOPLE, THERE WOULD BE NO LIMITS ANYMORE TO WHAT SORT OF THINGS COULD POTENTIALLY CONSTITUTE CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR. VIRTUALLY EVERYTHING WOULD NOW BE A CRIME.

You, and the people who think just like you, are the greatest threat to freedom that ever existed."

Hear Hear, well said that man. Offense can only be taken indeed. I wish people would just get a fucking life and stop getting offended all the fucking time. How about I am offended that other people get offended?

Truth

a common red poppy is not the ones used for their prized cash crops - right?

a childish one

Opium is grown in Afghanistan

SO WE DON'T WANT TO OFFEND ANY MUSSIES
