    They can wear them if they like, so long as I can refuse them access to, or have them kicked out of wherever I am.

    In france, you are expected to live by their culture if you move there, not by your old one. This is what I like most about the place.

    I thought the girl in this video put up a good argument against banning the hijab. although is the French Law banning the niqab or hijab, as she wasnt wearing the niqab in any case?

    I think it would be very easy to differentiate between petty arguments over the TV remote, and what abusive people can get into with their families.


    Well I certainly wouldn't trust you to make such a distinction, and it only takes one asshole magistrate-- and there are tons of asshole magistrates in France I'm sure.

    Women already have legal recourse to deal with psychologically-abusive husbands-- it's called divorce.

    Quote
    Women have periods and mood swings, thats the way they are. People like my dad would end up jailed, so I support this regardless.


    Why don't you stop working out your daddy issues (and all your other personal issues for that matter) through the government? Plenty of other folks here have issues with their parents or other personal issues, but they aren't as selfish, weak and immoral as you, so they don't demand the government pass authoritarian laws to cater to their personal beliefs and experiences.

    I idealise over a world where no ones rights are violated in their own home, and this is going one step closer towards that.


    No it's not, because you don't understand what rights are. You think people have a right to be protected by the government from being insulted or yelled at-- they don't. People DO have a right to insult whoever they like (freedom of speech includes offensive speech), including their spouse, just as their spouse has a right to leave that person if they don't want to put up with the insults.

    fuck you

    Its only the full face veil that they are trying to ban. I do agree that the defense was good, but at the end of the day, France is a secular country and they can ban religious garments from public spaces if they like.

    This is actually already a criminal offense in the UK, but of course, it is up to the spouse to report it:

    "How is domestic violence defined?

    Domestic violence is defined by the Home Office as "any violence between current and former partners in an intimate relationship, wherever the violence occurs. The violence may include physical, sexual, emotional and financial abuse." Domestic violence occurs across society regardless of age, gender, race, sexuality, wealth and geography.


    This is illegal under British Law.

    Quote

    Some women, and even men, may be dependant on their partners and in this case unwilling to leave them. They may also not wish to leave if they have kids who they do not want to seperates from them. Regardless, no one should be subjected to this kind of abuse. The tagging and recording will be a great addition as it will prevent people from denying what has been said, one huge obstacle to the current law where denial of the offense leads to the case of one persons word against anothers. But it it has been recorded, then what has been said cannot be denied.

    as selfish, weak and immoral


    My morality is full agreeance with the laws of many european countries. If you do not like those laws, then you can feel free to live anywhere else where no one cares about yours or anyone elses human rights. It is not a right for anyone to be allowed to abuse anyone they are living with. This is a violation of domestic rights and if you dont like that, and dont think it should be illegal, then I would believe you to be the one with poor stone age morality.

    We keep hearing about how Jack Straw or the French government have mentioned the veil and our doing so puts us in the same boat as them. How so? I want a ban on the burka, neqab and child veiling.

    Yeah, and Saudi Arabia is Muslim country and they can ban expression of atheist ideas if they like. A nation's sovereign ability to pass laws is hardly a defense for laws that restrict individual liberty and violate people's rights.

    Then the law is unjust as it violates freedom of speech and is unnecessarily invasive. Hardly surprising given the UK government's general disregard for freedom of speech.

    Tough shit. Life is full of difficult choices. The role of government in a free society is not to impose authoritarian, invasive laws to spare people from making tough choices and standing up for themselves. You want the state to intervene because you are projecting your own cowardice onto everyone else.

    First off, "agreeance" is not a word. Secondly, many of the laws of European countries (and elsewhere) are unjust.

    You have proven time and time again to be hopelessly ignorant of what rights are. I'd advise you to read some Locke, Rousseau, Kant, Rawls, Nozick and Jefferson to learn more about rights, but I'm quite certain it will go right over your head.

    Keep your cowardly slave morality to yourself, don't advocate using the state to impose it on everyone else.

    No one cares about the freedom of speech argument if it is used with malicious intent. Freedom of speech does not provide with the authority or priveladge to speak to people in an abusive manner.

    I have a very good understanding of human rights. You are the person who thinks that unnecessary privileges are rights, and you try to tell me that I need to read more on the topic which you hardly even understand yourself.

    Your opinion on rights seem to stem entirely on the American Constitution with defends freedom of speech. The rest of the world does not need to agree with America and legailse emotionally verbal abuse just because it offends their constitutional right to freedom of speech.

    I remember reading the law of a European country, but I cant remember which, that specifically stated that free speech is not compatible with criminal law. There are loopholes and contradictions within both.

    Let me guess, you also believe that being allowed to own guns is a human right as well, correct? This is usually where I draw the line with ignorance over rights, because it is definately not a right for anyone to own firearms because that would mean that any murderous nutjob could walk into a store, buy a gun, and start massacring children, as what happened in the UK to lead to the banning of personal possession of firearms.

    The American Constitution is complete bullshit when it comes to discussing human rights, and I do not agree that any opinion based on it should determine laws in other countries that are designed to protect their citizens from malicious abuse, whether physical or verbal.

    We keep hearing about how Jack Straw or the French government have mentioned the veil and our doing so puts us in the same boat as them. How so? I want a ban on the burka, neqab and child veiling.

    The rest of the videos are on youtube, there are about 4 episodes with 6 clips for each one.

    Now, what do you think happens when people like these who do not get any kind of help, or change in anyway decide to settle down and raise a family? Do you think that they have the free right to speak to their spouses and even their kids in the same manner?

    Of course in this situation, we would need to have to ignore the physical problems in my example, but according to you, the yelling, swearing and verbal abuse parts are all completely fine right? They have the freedom to talk like that correct?

    I do not gain my knowledge of rights based on the American Constitution,


    Rights are natural and are not created by governments, therefore I do not base what a right is solely on the basis of what is enumerated in the law, like the US Constitution.

    Furthermore rights are universal and your attempt to make them subjective based on differing laws is bullshit. You're not even doing a very good job of arguing for subjective legal rights vs. universal natural rights, again, because you are completely ignorant of what you are talking about. It's painfully obvious that you have zero grounding in any understanding of philosophical underpinnings of rights theory. Read a fuckin book. Rawls, Marx, Kant, Jefferson, Nozick, Locke, Rousseau, Hobbes, DeTocqueville-- all these people have differing opinions on rights but could help you understand the basics of natural, deonotological rights versus legal rights, if you didn't have such a thick fuckin skull.

    No sir, I have studied the prominent classical (and modern) rights theorists, and you clearly have not. And in addition, I'm fairly well versed on the differences between how the European countries typically view rights in a legal context and how our government/society/culture views them.

    You insult people on the internet because it's anonymous, relatively safe, you don't know the people you are insulting, and you can get away with it. But what's really insulting is that you think any of us are dumb enough to believe that the reason you don't behave this way in real life is due to respect and not your fear of negative consequences arising from insulting someone to their face.

    You are completely joking right? Do you even care about the reasons why gun ownership is banned in the UK? The Massacre of 16 young children and their teacher? You are calling these children cowards for being unable to defend themselves?


    Quote
    Hungerford massacre

    In 1987, 27 year old Michael Ryan, armed with a semi-automatic AK-47, a Beretta handgun and an M1 carbine, dressed up in combat fatigues and proceeded around the town of Hungerford killing 16 people, wounding fifteen and shooting himself, in what became known as the Hungerford massacre.

    In the aftermath, the Conservative government passed the Firearms (Amendment) Act 1988.[21] This confined semi-automatic and pump-action centre fire rifles, military weapons firing explosive ammunition, short shotguns that had magazines, and both elevated pump-action and self-loading rifles to the Prohibited category.[22] Registration and secure storage of weapons held on shotgun certificates became required, and shotguns with more than a 2+1 capacity came to need a Firearms certificate. The law also introduced new restrictions on shotguns, although rifles in .22 rimfire and semi-automatic pistols were unaffected.


    Dunblane massacre

    Nine years after the Hungerford massacre, the Dunblane Massacre was the second time in less than a decade that unarmed civilians had been killed in the UK by a legally licensed gun owner. On 13 March 1996 Thomas Hamilton, aged 43, a former scout leader who had been ousted by The Scout Association five years previously, shot dead sixteen young children and their teacher, Gweneth Mayor, in Dunblane Primary School's gymnasium with his licensed weapons and ammunition. He then shot himself. There is a memorial to the seventeen victims in the local cemetery and a cenotaph in the cathedral. The funds raised in the aftermath of the tragedy have been used to build a new community centre for the town.


    1997 Firearms Act

    Following the Dunblane massacre, the government passed the Firearms (Amendment) (No. 2) Act 1997 which means that as of 1997 handguns have been almost completely banned for private ownership, although the official inquiry, known as the Cullen Inquiry, did not go so far as to recommend such action.[23] Exceptions to the ban include muzzle-loading "blackpowder" guns, pistols produced before 1917, pistols of historical interest (such as pistols used in notable crimes, rare prototypes, unusual serial numbers and so on), starting pistols, pistols that are of particular aesthetic interest (such as engraved or jewelled guns) and shot pistols for pest control. Under certain circumstances, individuals may be issued a PPW (Personal Protection Weapon) licence. Even the UK's Olympic shooters fall under this ban; shooters can only train in Northern Ireland, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, or abroad.[24]


    So according to you, people who get murdered as the result of gun ownership are cowards for not defending themselves and requiring their government to instead, correct?

    So, do you believe that gun ownership is a right? This was the question I asked you before which you are avoiding by calling me a coward.

    Please do tell me, how does an unarmed person defend themselves against being fired at with a gun? Not being able to defend yourself from bullets makes you a coward?

    That I have the respect not to physically or verbally abuse other people with malicious intent. This does not make me a coward, it simply doesnt make me a violent and aggressive psychopath as you seem to be, and hiding behind your idea of rights as some kind of protection to allow you to behave in an aggressive way towards other people in your own house.

    You also havnt answerer my question whether or not you believe that the girls in the video I posted have the right to speak to their families the way they are doing. Why are you avoiding the actual discussion just to attack me instead? This is far more cowardice of you then I am.

    Didn't watch it. Not gonna watch it. Don't need to. Are they immediately and directly making a physical threat against someone? Because if not, then yes, they have a right to say what they will without the government punishing them. That being said the owners of the house (the parents) also have a right to tell their kids not to say certain things.

    Quote
    Now, what do you think happens when people like these who do not get any kind of help, or change in anyway decide to settle down and raise a family?


    Don't know, don't care-- not my business, not the government's business. It is not the role of civil government in a free society to attempt to legislate functional, happy families. As long as kids aren't having actual rights violated (not your imagined "anything Ex-Hindu declares is a right" rights), like being raped, beaten, starved, etc., then the state needs to stay out of it.

    Quote
    but according to you, the yelling, swearing and verbal abuse parts are all completely fine right? They have the freedom to talk like that correct?


    God you're thick. The fact that you are mindlessly conflating the right of someone to do something/say something with it being "completely fine" only confirms what I have been saying about you and your conception of rights. You can have the right to say and do horrible, morally-objectionable things as long as it does not directly and immediately infringe on the rights of others-- and not being offended or emotionally hurt is not a right.

    You want to declare rights are being violated everytime something happens with which you disagree, but that ain't how the world works, bud. You don't get to selfishly proclaim the existence of rights and demand the government protect these "rights" simply because you personally find something objectionable. You're no better than the Muslims say their rights are being violated when someone criticizes Islam.

    You are calling these children cowards for being unable to defend themselves?


    So according to you, people who get murdered as the result of gun ownership are cowards for not defending themselves, correct?


    Your brain works in really fucked up ways. No, Copernicus, I am calling YOU a coward because many of your posts on this forum have led me to that conclusion. And what I am objecting to are those people who would deny me and others the tools to effectively defend ourselves.

    Quote
    So, do you believe that gun ownership is a right?


    A natural right? Sort of. Owning a computer and having access to the internet is not, in and of itself a right, but these things are important tools in my exercise of free speech, which is a right, therefore if the state were to restrict my access to these tools, it would effectively be a violation of my right to free speech.

    Similarly owning a gun is not, in and of itself a right, but being able to defend myself is, and as a gun is a very important tool for me to exercise this right, the government is not justified in restricting my ability to own a gun.  

    Quote
    This was the question I asked you before which you are avoiding by calling me a coward.


    You never asked me that question.

    Quote
    Please do tell me, how does an unarmed person defend themselves against being fired at with a gun?


    By not being unarmed in the first place. Tell me, ex-Hindu, is it better to be shot with an illegal firearm or a legally-possessed one? To be stabbed to death or shot to death?

    Gun/weapons bans make it more difficult for criminals to buy firearms, but not even close to impossible-- however it does make it impossible for law abiding citizens to be armed and capable of defending themselves against armed criminals.

    Quote
    Not being able to defend yourself from bullets makes you a coward?


    No, but expecting the government to do everything for you, even if it results in the violation of other people's rights and liberties is. And you've demonstrated time and time again on this forum that's what you're all about. Again, my calling you a coward has very little to do with your opinion on gun control and very much to do with the other nonsense you've posted here.

    Quote
    And do tell me then, how is abusing people a natural right?


    It's not, Einstein-- but speaking is. And if you allow the government to start restricting speech on subjective standards of what is "abusive" then freedom of speech is meaningless.

    These laws that we are discussing regarding verbal abuse are for domestic cases only, not for the internet. If you are offended about anything online, then you really shouldnt be there. There are far worse things to be seen then the things that I type. I also am not as weak as you to run around crying about what people say to me online. If someone cannot handle that, then they shouldnt use public discussion forums.

    So, hypothetically, if you or anyone else were to verbally threaten to rape, beat, and kill a child, this is allowed under your right to free speech, and that child has no rights to do anything about it unless the physical act is actually carried out? I didnt realise that freedom of speech would allow anyone to speak to children like this, but by your definition, it would be allowed, and the government or law should not get involved.

    Obviously not. But that those kids died should not mean that adults are now prevented from owning the tools to defend themselves, their loved ones and neighbors. And again, if those kids had been killed by someone who obtained the weapon illegally what difference would it make? People get killed all the time by illegally-owned weapons.

I didnt realise that freedom of speech would allow anyone to speak to children like this, but by your definition, it would be allowed, and the government or law should not get involved.


    Pay the fuck attention:

    Didn't watch it. Not gonna watch it. Don't need to. Are they immediately and directly making a physical threat against someone? Because if not, then yes, they have a right to say what they will without the government punishing them.


    First paragraph in the post you just replied to. Since you obviously have difficulty with reading comprehension, let me spell this out for you-- the converse of the statement I just quoted is that if they are making physical threats then the government may justifiably punish them.

    Now I'm done debating with you. You may not be the biggest asshole here, but you are easily among the most thick-headed of them. And there's nothing I find more frustrating than a dumb asshole.

    fuck you

    Then please dont ever look in the mirror or think about yourself.

    Though I do find it reasurring that hopefully, you wont post in threads only to pick out on what I say, as was your intent here when I simply said I wished to live in France with no intention of actually debating this silly law.

    We keep hearing about how Jack Straw or the French government have mentioned the veil and our doing so puts us in the same boat as them. How so? I want a ban on the burka, neqab and child veiling.

    IMO , people from Canada and the USA shouldnt bother to comment on European laws. We are not bound to abide to America's amendments with our laws, and most European countries are far more modern, secular, and better places to live than the USA is, France and Netherlands in particular.

    Oh, I'm so going to quote this from the comments section on the article:

    Quote
    People on this site disgust me.

    This law wont do anything, its a waste of time, its just an arguement. Do you know what actually happens in the world outside your own life???

    There is a difference between a disagreement in day to day life and feeling like you can't say a word because not only is your self esteem demolished but your afriad of losing it all if you speak out, your friends, your family, your kids, a place to sleep or even your life.

    This law will protect that woman you see being chased down the street by her boyfriend in the car hurling abuse, it will protect the man who has his belongings thrown out of the window of the house by his wife shouting out the window, the woman who is harrassed by her partner over the phone at work telling her when she comes home he will bash her to death or take her kids.

    If you can't figure the difference between abuse and an arguement don't bother commenting on a law that extends beyond your own common sence.

    I doubt it is because my family, and it would seem a lot of others where I live, seem to enjoy throwing 'I'll kill you' or 'I swear I'm gonna kill you right now if you don't....' comments at each other all the time, and there is absolutely nothing that can be done about it thanks to the wonderful usage of denial.
     
    Its not my comment, but dont forget that verbal abuse is already illegal too in the UK.

    The daily mail article is also a load of bullshit, at least the first two paragraphs which are written with plenty of bias to distort the truth of the actual law and what it is intended for.

    The law is not in place to criminalise people who simply yell or insult, but for:

    'The creation of this offence will allow us to deal with the most insidious situations - situations that leave no visible scars, but which leave victims torn up inside.'

    Everything written in the article about illegalise yelling and insults is written by the daily mail to mislead people who read the article from the truth behind that law. And a lot of people that I know have very little respect for the daily mail as well, I would never take anything written in their words as any kind of truth.

    Also, here is the funny thing. The article states:

    Quote
    Under a new law, France is to become the first country in the world to ban ' psychological violence' within marriage.


    Yet, this is already illegal in Britain, it is just classified under 'Domestic Violence', rather that being limited to marriage only.

    Do you know the difference between a real threat and saying something because you're just angry? The police are only going to take action if there's a real threat.

    You might not seem to know the difference either, because this line:

    Quote
    the woman who is harrassed by her partner over the phone at work telling her when she comes home he will bash her to death or take her kids.


    Could have also been said entirely out of anger as well. It is not possible to determine real threats from anger, but if anyone throws the word death around in domestic situations, then I am more then willing to have that person tagged.

    The anger that you describe is exactly what can lead to:

    Quote
    situations that leave no visible scars, but which leave victims torn up inside.


    This law is not about real threats, it is about psychological abuse.

    That's the thing Peru, I don't think he does lol he keeps showing that in this thread.  Cheesy


    As I said above, this has nothing to do with real threats at all. It is entirely possible to abuse people with such words, but while not being a threat. That person should not have to tolerate this level of abuse because you think it is ok for people to say whatever they want to them.

    And people from the UK shouldn't comment on French laws. You are now prohibited from discussing any laws that exist or are proposed outside of your legislative jurisdiction. This includes local ordinances in the UK which aren't in your city.

    God you are dumb.

    And I would believe that anyone that holds their opinion s the absolute truth as you seem to be doing would actually be the dumb one.

    And this is the stupid thing. You obviously have no idea what domestic abuse is. Name calling on the internet doesnt classify as that.

    Because you think that people debate these kind of issues in real life? If you find my opinions insulting, then that is your own problem.

    I wonder then, what exactly would you do if I were discussing this with you in real life? Pull out a gun and shoot me most likely by the sound of it.

    If I shot people over every argument I have in real life, I'd have ended up with a life sentence a long time ago. I like how you were able to squeeze in your stereotype of American gun owners in there too.
