Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

Citizen's arrest the prime minister for wearing cloth woven of different fabrics. He blasphemes against God and Mosaic law!
I'm at the house, all alone. My roommates are spending the holidays with their bfs.
From the little bit of info they give there it seems like they're just extending what the 1936 constitution already did for Christianity. Doesn't seem much different than American laws regarding hate speech.
Someone should publish something about being sexually attracted to Jesus Christ so that it has to be argued in court whether or not it is blasphemous to want to have sex with a religious figure.
Doesn't hate speech have to be directed at people though?
Now I want to post that scene from The Exorcist, except I also don't want to get banned.
edit - oh hell yest he doom pack is on sale. that's something I've been hoping for.
he should work on that
A religious group is still seen as 'people'.
Seems like the Irish should reword the law, though. If what they've got quoted there is accurate to what the law actually says. As it's worded now it's just going to cause problems.
I still haven't seen that movie.
That seems like a rather large blunder.
He smites his therapists.
Lack of self esteem, obviously. Just look at all the melodramatic attention seeking and insistence that everybody love him.
"Love me or you're getting the locusts again."
It's like a two year old holding their breath because they aren't getting their way.
You can access it from the main comic page. Bottom right corner.
I'd go all D: except that there are still some classics that I've yet to see. To Netflix!
Have you watched Wait Until Dark? Because if not you should pop it into the DVD player and curl up with Dyrwen.
It seems like it should be possible to criticise an organisation without necessarily criticising its individual members, though.
I wouldn't have thought that, for example, "the catholic church" was necessarily the same thing as "all catholics".
See: The Middle East, The South, etc.
Buddhism strikes me as slightly more adult, but also suffers from the issue of being all about being in denial.
He went after Sodom first.
Do an image search for 'future wife.' :winky:
I mean, the Church actively protects pedophiles and I'm supposed to not call them a shower of cunts?
Yeah sure if you turn off AdBlock Plus but I'm not about to do that.
No. I like it this way.
I agree, but there's a difference between criticism (which is fine) and outright threats against or incitements to attack a particular religion. I think the law is referring to this latter issue.
I am sorely tempted
Maybe a Jay-Z song will come on the radio and cheer you up.
sloan peterson
I wonder what her real name was.
It'd be nice if you could tune ad-block to just block out the annoying ones. I rather like the fact that advertising lets me enjoy 'free' content and all the pleasures and horrors of the internets...but some of those flash ads just make me want to just start slapping people on Madison Avenue.
I don't know.
In America no one will arrest you for spreading the idea that all Catholic Priests are evil child rapists who should be murdered, even though there are some fringe Baptists who would love to be able to do this given half a chance. Maybe the Irish law is something about these kinds of statements which aren't against a specific, particular group, but rather a more general group?
Mia Sara
I'm trying to find the text, but it seems to outlaw anything insulting or liable to cause outrage. In my experience it is often remarkably easy to insult or outrage religious people.
See Tav's "Fuck me Jesus" example.
Mia Sara.
And she's from Brooklyn.
That seems to be where all the celebs I want to bang grow up.
Does the law cover, say, the Elk's Club?
I think it's about large scale 'angrytime' reactions from the community, but yeah, it should be reworded so that the intent is clearer and so easier to examine and, if need be, change again.
