jesus is a c**t

Shut the **** up, and gtfo.

I've had enough of this shit.
 
Was he arrested for blasphemy, or publicly displaying the word 'c*nt'?
 
Time to throw in my two cents (when compared to your two cents is like, 50 bucks). I think:Cows. Also: no one really cares.

Why you bothered to post in in this thread utterly confuses me then. Also if you're an American and I do hope you are you're monies worth shit.

Neither of those are arrest-able offences. The case against the kid doesn't have two legs to stand on.
 
Because if he didn't, perhaps jango would have the illusion someone did care?
Hm?

And that would matter because? Seriously using that logic he'd have to post/write/bitch about every single thing that apparently no ones cares about instead of just ignoring it like everyone else.
 
The T-shirt was offensive and the guy got what he deserved. I don't really see the problem.

If he wore a T-shirt saying "Dawkins is an incestous cockwhore" he'd also be punished.

We don't have the right to offend? Lets just say democrats opinions offend me so they should be barred from speaking. Plus, "Dawkins is an incestuos cockwhore" would probably be punished under libel, not because it offends. I wouldn't find that offensive anyway.

you know...it's the internet...you can look or refuse anything you want. why bother bitching.

i'm just posting outrageous news


why do i think "Dawkins is an incestous cockwhore" wouldn't get you arrested?
 
Offensive has a case. Blasphemy does not.
 
It's a stupid ****ing shirt and the band sucks ass. The "right to offend" I don't think necessarily covers depicting masturbating nuns in public places. Maybe he is legally in the clear. But if I'm going to defend the guy, it will be on the sole principle of freedom of speech. Otherwise I'm more than happy to see the little shit go down.
 
Principles of Crimminal Law (Australia) said:
To warrant criminalisation, offensive epithets must:

# constitute personally abusive insults;


# be addressed in a face-to-face manner;


# target a specific individual and be descriptive of that individual; and


# be addressed to an individual unable to avoid the assaultive message…

...shit, we've gotten into theological territory now!
 
The Shirt, NSFW-

Yeah, I can see that being offensive.

Yeah, pretty much. And yeah, Cradle of Filth is a terrible band.
 
The Reverend Matt Hunt of the Helensvale Baptist Church said it was sad people spoke about the Lord in such a way.

"It's fairly common language these days to express sadness, anger or hurt," he said. "It's a degrading word to use and Jesus is anything but that. It's like calling white black."

Mr Hunt said using the Lord's name in vain was a serious sin.

"When someone comes to the point of saying Jesus is the devil or Jesus is 'expletive', the Bible does say be very careful because you're on thin ice."

... wait... who is this twat?? Why are they quoting a random churchman? No one gives a shit.

Anyway this shirt is everywhere nowadays. I used to see it all the time when walking around London. The design is something like 10 years old at least, and identical cases with the same shirt have been laughed out of court in the past.

Anyone who thinks there should be a serious legal basis for the right not to be offended by anything, is a retard. By that rationale many of the threads in this forum could be illegal, the top shelf of magazines at your local newsagents could be illegal, public use of expletives should be illegal, etc.. It's fair enough if you're personally inclined not to sympathise with this kid because you dislike COF or you love Jesus or whatever, but to confuse personal prejudices with the need to set dangerous legal precedents is likewise retarded.

BTW I guarantee that the problem the policeman had was the "JESUS IS A C*NT" slogan and not with the nun on the front (and this is implicitly supported by the amount of article space dedicated to some random biblebasher mouthing off about how Jesus really isn't a c*nt). To support this arrest is to support the tired old attempts by religious drones to claim immunity from opinion. Libel doesn't work either since the lawyers would have to prove that Jesus actually existed, and also that it was not 'fair comment' to state that the man who is the center of a faith that has caused the death and oppression of millions is not a c*nt - I'm sure they do not want to get into that.

This sums it up
 
this is serious business.

oh wait.
its not.

of course you cant wear shirts with nekkid bitches on them to school.

duh
 
This case is full of lol because nothing will come of it, because the case is almost as groundless and stupid as the organized fairy tale appreciation society it attempts to goad.
 
He didn't go to school but if I was a cop and saw the ****er, I'd probably mess with him somehow.
 
LOL @ anyone who thinks that offending someone should be punished by law. Big fucking LOL. No wonder that personal liberty is going down the shitter when there's actually people that agree with it.

The guy is a little shit for wearing the shirt, but he has every goddamn right to do so. How can offending someone even be punishable? Who determines what is offensive? And why should it be punishable? Can't you just not associate with the kid if you find him a prick?

A while ago a cartoonist here was arrested on a 3-year old charge of making offensive and discriminating cartoons about Islam. First, how can a cartoon be discriminating, or better: how can a cartoon not be discriminating? Discrimination is the act of making a distinction between people on arbitrary characteristics in a situation where people are equal. Unless the cartoonist didn't allow blacks to read his cartoons, he's not discriminating. Unless you think that singling out a group of people to make fun of in your cartoon is discrimination but isn't that was satirical cartoons do? It's kinda hard to make a cartoon that's not about a group of people. At most, they were racist cartoons but being a racist isn't and shouldn't be a crime because "niceness" isn't enforced by law (but only a question of time really with our Christian government) and you can be a racist for all I care, I will just not like you.

You should be able to think, say and do whatever you want as long as it doesn't interfere with the ability of someone else to do the same thing. It's really simple.

This.

He knew he wanted to attract attention with that shirt. It's the only reason why he wore it. I'm pretty sure the officer saw the front side of the shirt and that's why he talked to the kid. The masturbating nun is the reason to get arrested, not the Jesus comment. The only reason that is in the title is be cause it would draw in more hits.

what? are you kidding me? since when do words on a t-shirt justify arrest? this is why religion is constantly ridiculed because the religious feel ENTITLED to put their ****ing morals on the rest of us ..the arresting cop should be beaten on the soles of his feet with a lead pipe for wasting time and tax payer money ..I cant believe some of you people support this taliban style crap
 
It's got nothing to do with ****ing religion. His shirt said **** and had a picture of masturbation.
 
Facepalm at people who continue to think that the Jesus comment is why he was arrested. Look at the ****ing shirt. No, you can't wear nudity in public. It's called decency. Stop being fooled by the article name.
 
nudity huh? then why does the article blot out the word "c*nt" but doesnt cover the "nudity"?

what masterbation? she could be adjusting her panties, there's no graphic sex at all ..it's just suggestive ..and since when does a "bad" word justify arrest? they should arrest every person associated with the brand name fcuk because to dyslexics it's spells fuck


you cannot say this isnt about religion, because it is:

The Reverend Matt Hunt of the Helensvale Baptist Church said it was sad people spoke about the Lord in such a way.

"It's fairly common language these days to express sadness, anger or hurt," he said. "It's a degrading word to use and Jesus is anything but that. It's like calling white black."

Exactly. This ****ing planet has gone to shit a long long time ago.
 
He wore a Cradle of Filth t-shirt, that's offensive enough.

Wake up. If it was a decency offence he would have been arrested under a public decency or obscenity charge - it was in fact an 'Offensive Behaviour' charge, which I'm given to understand results from the Summary Offences act which states:
(3) Without limiting subsection (2) ?

(a) a person behaves in an offensive way if the person uses offensive, obscene, indecent or abusive language;

...hence, it was due to the word 'c*nt'. That is not to say this law is anything but ****ing retarded, however.

The picture is in B&W and is not easy to decipher except from close proximity - the backprint, however, sticks out a mile away. The emphasis of the article on the fact that it said 'Jesus is a ****' was not just 'to get hits' but because that is the part that is most inflammatory to anyone who might be offended.

Sure, religious people dislike nudity, but blasphemy is considered WAY worse, and the kicker is that even secular people are often somehow offended by it. In comparison, the wider community doesn't give a crap about nudity. No police officer is going to go into a red light district and start arresting the proprietors of shops selling dirty movies, just because from the street you might still be able to see the titties on their adverts and video covers.
 
I'm pretty sure this happened over a year ago :|
