I knew they weren't banned in public places. This is what I thinking of: "France... has banned wearing conspicuous religious symbols in its public primary and secondary schools".
I would be fully in favour of that. Ireland is a million miles behind them. Laughably, the vast majority of schools here are ran by either the Catholic or Protestant churches.

your public schools are run by the church?

youd be hard pressed to prove the lady in the opera house was 'forced' to wear the niqab

I was talking about the presence of a coercive factor in both arguments, not this specific case.

Yep. Practically all of them.

Yep. Practically all of them.

That indeed makes little sense

Will said trolling be up to the judges to determine? What constitutes it? Or is it just threats?

I don't think the medium should change the offense. If you send someone a tweet, postal mail, or say it to their face in person, that should not skew the gravity of the offense.

So while I agree that cyberbullying and online rape and death threats can get out of hand, they should be prosecuted or not as if the "cyber" part was removed.

cyberbullying

the human species has started protecting those who are so incompetent that they can't block incoming messages and calls from a phonenumber.

"sexually offensive, verbally abusive" thats as vague as it gets, it's a masquerade. Threats have always been prosecuted.

Exactly. Just because it involves digital instead of analog communication doesn't make it new or requiring of new standards.

Just give internet trolls a job to do that involves them going outside and doing a day's work as punishment, that'll stop 95% of future cases.

Definitely. Also the only true Australian left in the band. The good thing is that the album is done. But I'm very curious to see what the hell they are going to do for the tour. I don't think they'll cancel it. Hopefully they'll get Chris Slade back. I'd much prefer that to a new drummer (or Simon Wright).
