No, it is not. You initially argued that people should not be punished for an offense if they did not have ill-intent. I argued that people should be punished for an offense regardless, and their intent should only be considered when determining the severity of said punishment. I supported that reasoning by illustrating to you that if you kill someone, they are no less dead whether it was an accident or on purpose. The intent only matters in determining what that punishment should be. Your argument was effectively that intent should determine whether there should be punishment at all.

Well, I'm sorry if it came across that way. That was not my intention.

I only hate jokes that are not funny.

So, you think people should be punished if you don't like their jokes. how very democrat of you.

I do not make the laws in the UK. He has lived there his entire life. He should have known better. It is really not my problem.

Nobody said you made the laws, try and keep up with the conversation.

That doesn't say you should be held accountable for the laws, just that you agree with them. try and keep up.

Technically Scotland has a different, stricter law system to England and Wales for whatever reason. Ie. you're more likely to be questioned by the police, punished and serve a harsher sentence there. Don't ask me why, I don't have the faintest idea.

Silent master going full reeeeeetard in this thread 😂

LOL!

Where did I say I agree with them? It seems to me that I only said he knew what the law was, broke it anyway, and should accept the consequences for it. You know, like a person who believes in personal responsibility. Unlike you who evidently hates law and order, because he whines when law-breakers are punished from breaking the law, when he agrees with the law-breaker or disagrees with the law. Rules for thee, but no for me, is your motto.

If you don't agree with the law, just say so. Watch, it's easy.

It's a stupid law.

So you hate law and order. Got it.

If you spread Nazism as a joke or you spread Nazism for real, the net result is still spreading Nazism. Hence, why the intent does not really matter if the effect is the same.

So should anyone who's every wrote, directed or starred in a movie about WW2 be prosecuted for spreading Naziism?

Or the writer of Father Ted.
