Precisely - I can stand on a street corner in Sydney and say I hate Catholics and not be arrested ... I can equally stand on a street corner in Teheran and say I hate Catholics .... on the other hand I doubt I can stand on a street corner in Teheran and say I hate Islam without being arrested...
There's the difference between free speech and unfree speech.
And Mothra - no - I do not 'struggle' with the concepts of free speech v hate speech - though often our governments do - and when I post clear parody about such issues, I am sounding a very strong warning about the potential excesses of any government intent on despotism of the people.

do we know if ozpol is being monitored?...
would you tell us if you knew it was?...
some of us believe FOS can be taken too far....
