The French parliament has approved a law that makes psychological violence a criminal offence.

[walford]

Probably this law was enacted in response to the rising violence and intimidation that is overwhelmingly perpetrated by young Muslim men.

It certainly was worded poorly.

[MEGoody]

If someone is "abusing" you psychologically, why not just get away and stay away from that person? Oh, I forgot. We live in a world where women are supposed to be equal to men, but are not expected to be able to make responsible decisions or take care of themselves.

Ugh.

[nmh]

Could we send Obama there and have them arrest him for this?

He certainly qualifies.

[Tublecane]

Don’t they already have harrassment laws, which should pretty much cover whatever it is they’re getting at here?

[The_Victor]

“repeated acts which could be constituted by words or other machinations, to degrade one’s quality of life and cause a change to one’s mental or physical state”.

That needs to be enforced against the politicians...

[Uncle Miltie]

“repeated acts which could be constituted by words or other machinations, to degrade one’s quality of life and cause a change to one’s mental or physical state”.

0bummer does that to me.

Do I get money?

[circlecity]

In other words, you can go to jail for doing or saying anything which another may not like.

[SkipW]

What do you expect from a degenerated, emasculated excuse for a country like France? Non of this kind of crap will save them when Sharia Law is the law of the land.

[The Comedian]

This is an insult to Islam! Kill the infidel lawmakers!

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

“repeated acts which could be constituted by words or other machinations, to degrade one’s quality of life and cause a change to one’s mental or physical state”. “repeated acts which could be constituted by words or other machinations, to degrade one’s quality of life and cause a change to one’s mental or physical state”. A college professor inspires a student, in numerous personal conversations, to go to graduate school. The student follows that advice and finds that his/her quality of life is considerably degraded: no money, no free time, perpetual lack of sleep...

This seems to fit right into the wording: the professor must be punished.

Why would a Frenchman now talk to anybody about anything?

[Wolfhound777]

“repeated acts which could be constituted by words or other machinations, to degrade one’s quality of life and cause a change to one’s mental or physical state”.

If they passed this law here, they would have to arrest the entire congress and obama administration for about 200 million counts of “repeated acts which could be constituted by words or other machinations, to degrade one’s quality of life and cause a change to one’s mental or physical state”.
