Kinda like me drawing a photo of Mohamed with a bomb under his turban and having radicals come after me. If someone calls Hone a "b*****d who deserves to die" he should be arrested? Some TV shows glamorize crime, they should definitely be banned, obviously... Come on, this is BS. You can't arrest people for singing a song, regardless of the lyrics. His music is **** anyway. That should be offence enough. :lol: :thumbs: |

The fact is we are not free to say exactly what we want any time any place, not if what we say is likely to cause civil disorder or harm. Your Mohamed example: if you waved or distributed such a photo at a mosque you would cause grave offence and probably be at risk of harm. You would be promoting public violence.

| 1194798 | 2011-04-16 13:00:00 | Where in the Bill Of Rights 1990 or in the Bill Of Rights 1688 does it specify you can say whatever you like where ever you like? www.legislation.govt.nz |

They like to play up to the bad boy image yet if any real bad boys showed up to one of their gigs they would be quivering like jelly under the table or in the ladies loo's | gary67 (56) | ||
