The court will decide whether the charge is proven. It may go my way, it may go yours. That's life and how our justice system works.

Yes, you keep saying this. However a court decision does not make something wrong or right. Indeed, some court decisions have been very wrong indeed, which has led to protests, referendums, and sometimes the odd revolution.

It is not "life". It's how the government attempts to control the will of the people. I don't know about anyone else, but I support freedom of speech, even hate speech, because at the end of the day, these are just people expressing their ideas, and ideas cannot harm people. Ideas can upset people, they can distress people, but they cannot cause physical harm. It is actions that do this, and only actions which must be made criminal by the law.

Well take Adrian... from what I understand, the (racist, nazi) joke to him is because some people find it offensive. I can get sick humour. I do.

That said, I do try to be a bit tactful with my humor. If someone has a genuine reason to be offended by it, I'll apologize. Simply "not liking that sort of humour" is not a genuine reason for me.

Then again, thesummerqueen is Jewish and is fine with my nazi jokes, as is my half-Jewish girlfriend.
