That's messed up but I didn't hear the joke so it's hard to say much

Some people have no sense of humor. My suggestion is that these people should have just left. You can always get up and walk away.

The way its worded sounds like something the UN would discuss.

"The Human Rights Situation in Canada."

inimalist
it doesn't take much to get a human rights hearing in Canada... Apparently we are a sensitive

I doubt we will hear anything of it again.

chithappens
Regardless, this is crazy. You can't blame a comedian for something some other idiots did.

dadudemon
Okay...what did he say?

The Canadians have similar freedom of speech rights as the U.S. cits....so where's the problem?

chillmeistergen
Silly. There should not be laws protecting people getting offended, it's ridiculous.

"You just change one little verb and you take it out of context and all of a sudden it's time for me to drink a glass of hemlock," he said. "They were drunk, they were being jerks and I was very rude and visceral to them because, like I said, if you have a heckler, what you want to do is put them in their place by offending them, so I tried to hit them where it hurts and the only thing I had to key on was the fact that they were lesbians."

Hopefully Canada will tell them to shut the **** up and grow a pair.

I think the offended woman should shut up, stop going to comedy shows where the comedian is known to do such comedy, stop heckling said comedians if she does choose to go to their shows, get a sense of humour, and pay for all the court costs that this stupidity is racking up and the tax payers have to foot.

^ragesRemorse FTW. stick out tongue

It'll be another 15 years before the laws REALLY start arresting people for talking negatively about homosexuality. The comedians of the world have got some time yet.

RE: its funny when stuff doesn't offend me, tar and feather those who do

They are just posing as "correcting the girl."

(I was recently trying to promote the idea that girls from the New England area are spoiled knick-knack-patty-wacks who think they are the only valid people in the U.S. being that they aren't from the country country. Whom all the media targets.. all my friends moving to northeast Florida from there, but not from NY/PA where my ancestors and relatives are from, btw..)

Wow, the people in Canada think they are in a U.S. north pole, I discovered, when reading this article. The article is insulting in a French way. I know because I lived in New Orleans as a teenager and went to college in the city. It's an insulting article to begin with that uses words like "the reader" implying we won't take the article the right way because of the world we live in. Like, thoughts will fly in about different kinds of people when we read prejudiced topics such as this.


In short, however, I don't think it's illegal to crack those jokes on the side but probably will get you kicked even out of porn if you really bring it up.

What the heck is that supposed to mean? I'm not sure if it's insuling or not...because it doesn't make any sense.

"Insulting in a French way"? Once again...what the heck does that mean? You do realize that the areticle was written in english don't you? Also, the province that this article comes from has a pretty small french population. You do realize that not only are we not all French up here, but that the majority of Canadians can't speak or understand the language.

What the heck are you getting at?

Um, what happened to free speech?!?!?!

Does this mean i can sue Chris Rock cause I'm white?

Blax_Hydralisk
You could try, but everyone knows black people can't be racist or make racist remarks. It's just "the truth.

Blinky
Very very sad, makes me not ever want to move to Canada... not that I wanted to in the first place. Can you imagine if this happened when Michael Richards called those dudes "N_ggers"? American would flip their shit, well anybody with sense would.

The_Dormouse
F*cking dykes. They went to a comedy show and expected everything to be non-controversial and peachy?? Not everyone caters to them.

Scythe
Oh my, stupidity has a face apparently.
