Vee have vays of making you less annoying.....

[ASsman]

Shutup. Fuck you.

trusting prosecutorial discretion is hardly reassuring.
That's the case with the recent wave of hate speech legislation that has been passed worldwide, too. Would you believe that nationality jokes are technically illegal here? We've just got to hope that we never get a stuck up South African or Frenchman in a position to apply the law.

Ironically, this happened at precisely the same time as one of my former work colleagues took objection to something I said about her on my blog, despite my blog being semi-anonymous, and despite me not referring to her by her full name. Which is amusing given that it wasn't even anything inflammatory. Apparently she wants it taken down within 24 hours... Without some more explanation, it is unlikely. Me describing her as "annoying" (hence the irony) isn't really libellous in my book.

i think this law is quite stupid. someone could say something about how they don't like a store and someone could find it annoying.

people are always going to find something annoying while others won't.

what are we supposed to do, send carrier pigeons to each other?!

i don't trust the american postal service, they think i'm a foreign spy.
