    It really is disturbing how the governments of Europe are suppressing free speech in the name of political correctness. It’s gonna come back to bite us gays in the ass sooner or later…not to mention how it’s enforced unequally. This guy was arrested but when Muslim extremists are in the streets advocating our deaths or the overthrow of the UK government, nothing happens (search youtube for the vids). You can’t go wrong by allowing EVERYONE to speak out like we do here, no matter how ugly their speech.

    Well, there’s the Russian monk Rasputin’s take on it. “In order to repent, one must truly sin.” And that is pretty much what he did and he got away with it too.
