It won't be too much longer before Europe crawls up it's own collective rectum and dies. That is, what's left of it that didn't capitulate to radical Islam first. I picture the Frogs as being the first to roof-dive into cultural oblivion.

So, to les fagguets zis is like a monkey on their backs, no? To make ze joke about zere behinds doing double duty?
Zat is too damn bad! I laugh at ze silly queers! Haha!

I guess they will have to stick with pointing out how their country smells like BO, and that they are all cheese eating surrender monkeys.

[Abcdefg]

Okay, what's the difference between a blond and a bowling ball?

Parliament passed a law that makes it an imprisonable offence to insult homosexuals and women.

But it's still OK to make jokes about Muslims?

[Dan from Michigan]

I hope Sam Kinison's ghost haunts them for that.

According to Les Chiennes de Garde (Guard Bitches), a feminist group, the law would act as a brake on the physical abuse of women “by first outlawing verbal violence”

Let me get this straight.

A feminist group called 'Guard Bitches' is in favor of outlawing verbal abuse towards women?

Tell me the world hasn't gone completely insane.

Guess we'll soon be seeing the French burn people at the stake again. Or better yet, maybe they'll REALLY start recruiting and training the NEW thought police!

[Amore]

o.k., I'll bite. What IS the difference between a blonde and a bowling ball?

[Buck W.]

I know three or four different answers, and all would be deleted by our moderator.

[Pharmboy]

Don't these idiots know that the backlash that all of this BS will create will set them back, not forward?

[Noachian]

The Bill also creates a high authority for combating all “discriminations”.

If I read this right the French now have a bill to discriminate against discrimination.

Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag and smile, smile, smile...while you've a lucifer to light your fag, smile boy, that's the style...

I s'pose if someone sings that song in public, it's off to the slammer for him.

You could eat a bowling ball if you had to?

This is un-effing believable! Kudos to Rowan Atkinson for speaking out against the British version of this insane law (and iirc, he's done so before in similar circumstances). It must be the case that no one has a right _not_ to be offended; offensive speech is _precisely_ the sort of speech that needs protecting. Nobody needs to protect popular speech. Otherwise, the freedom of speech is meaningless.

(And the answer is... you can only get three fingers in a bowling ball.)

Gee....this is good practice for when the muslims take over. But then again they don't stand up for anything, except to criticize the USA.

[Alia]

Yes, of course... I see it now... (doing my best Peter Seller's imitation): "Ze Gaurd Beetches have a bimb-plot in zer minds.."
