>Euros are so weighed down by bureaucracy they cant speak in public without a permit
Cant make this shit up

...

Because we have so many freedums

>britshits

the world should band up and exterminate every one of yous

It's too extreme a freedom for them

There a difference between speaking your mind in public and going into the town centre on a busy Saturday afternoon and shouting your message though a megaphone.

It's more breach of the peace than anything else.

To be fair, even many American websites didn't put up the Muhammad pictures.
I recall NYT blurred them out. Shameful.

Cuz amerifags need to protect their 'culture'.

>they censored the pictures of muhammad
can't make this shit up

Why not? They're harmless rejects.

Lol shut the fuck up.

that was literally the issue you can't just give a speech in publci without getting permission from the polcie

I want to bomb New York and kill the President and his bitch.

Also, the f word and the n word.

Shower shoes?

It would have been fine if he was a bit more low-key with his speech but the fact that he was shouting this in the town centre though a megaphone caused the police to be called.

>you want to speak your mind, goy?
>you need to buy a permit first!

>Brits actually need a fucking permit to speak freely in a town square
I really hope this isn't real, God bless America

The European Court of Human rights actually legalised denying the Armenian genocide

What's next?

Is this speaking license dealio a british thing or an EU thing?

>Why do American have the KKK?
Racists were going to be racist anyway; deny them the right to free speech (and free association, etc) and you just drive them underground, romanticizing them. Let them air their dirty laundry (literally as well as figuratively) and show the world what they stand for, let people make up their minds about the Klan firsthand.
This works for Westboro Baptist Church, the Mormons, Larry Flynt, anyone. Have your say. Get your message out into the marketplace of ideas to prosper or perish on its own merits.

Europeans still can't understand that freedom of speech is vital for a functioning society, and that's why they're in the swamp they've made for themselves.

this is true tho

Every successful protest movement in history is "breech of the peace" you fucking cuck.

The short answer? Because freedom of speech is absolute in ALL forms.

The long answer? Economic disenfranchisement after the Civil War coupled with psuedo-christian bible beater paranoia.

>having exceptions for freedom of speech
Why? Are there exceptions for freedom of religion too?

You can't be a Scientologist in Germany.

wtf

WTF no it's not.

I exaggerated a bit, but Scientology's legal status as a religion in Germany is questionable. They're understandably wary when it comes to cultlike behavior.
