The things we aren't allowed to say : Comments

By Brendan O'Reilly, published 11/11/2016

These days populist (and often official) attitudes on these topics have been largely reversed, and those who argue against 'progressive' views risk being labelled misogynist, homophobic, or racist.

In answer to your hysterical post, on the one hand you praise homosexuals as acting normally, and living as normal people in society, but then parade them as weak and in need of special help. Which one is it?
Your logic appears to me akin to anti Trump protest in USA, post election.
After all, it is homosexuals that are forcing the marriage equality demand on society.
Don't you believe in the adage like most normal folk, "if you can't stand the heat, don't stand by the fire"

lets see the regressives who support planned parenthood rename babies fetus, butcher them by the millions (even selling their parts) and then call Trump supporters nazis. Oh what a warped world the regressives live in. No wonder they can't accept democracy.

LisaM from your post, I don't think anyone could be much more bigoted than you. You show extreme bigotry in your promoting all the trendy waffle of the green blob, & extreme left. I'll bet you are a bigoted global warmer too.

Well love, we are claiming the right to be just as bigoted as you in the opinions we hold, & how we promote them. We won't however attempt to shut you down, you will always be welcome to voice your opinion here, & all the other right leaning blogs. This unlike the lefty blogs, that remove disagreement almost instantly, lest some of the lovies see the truth.

Meanwhile do join us in celebrating the Trumping of the much of the infection the green blob has inflected on us & the US.

The Greens/Labour/Turnbull show exactly why they don't want the people to decide whether to pervert the marriage act or not. They are very frightened the people will have their say despite the total indoctrination of the kids.

I can't add much to what LisaM and Cobber have contributed, except to say hear, hear and well said!

The problem with free speech is simply democracy as we have it now. It is impossible for a Government to arbitrate rights and wrongs, as believed in by an individual, and be sensible with outcomes of that arbitration.
There are things in personal life that have no place for Government interference.
Obviously, the rights of the individual should not extend to murdering a person of dislike. That is a good and practical law.
Minority groups making demands on government, is a healthy state for democracy, as we live it.
There should be freedoms to demonstrate against inequalities in society. But when minority groups manipulate the governing system, for their own selfish ends, democracy falls apart. It becomes overweighted with trivia, accordingly inflicted onto an otherwise compliant or disinterested society. Re 18c .
The antidote to the trivia of PC unfortunately, requires an equal counter movement, eg one nation, and a Donald Trump, to overthrow obsurdity, and strike a balance.
Democracy unfortunatly, is a wild horse, which will be compliant only in the hands of whomsoever owns the animal.
So the problem is not PC, it is who is at the controls of Democracy. Democracy and its influence on the individual line of thought, needs to be pegged back.
Sufficient laws exist to control public behaviour. Abuse is catered for under laws determining assault for example. What does it matter, the abuse is racially motivated; its inconsequential!
