Where was Gilmore a week ago when Sean Sherlock was ignoring those who bothered to turn up to the Dail to debate the statutory instrument?

It’s like a butcher telling you he’s only selling veggie burgers from now on.
Don’t quite believe you dears.

The first thing socially adept political psychopaths do is, upon realising that the jig is up, is to resort to censorship.
This was the case in Stalinist Russia, Nazi Germany, Communist Poland etc. They arrested as many psychologists specialising in the area of psychopathology as they could. They then proceeded to torture these scientists. If they could not threaten these men to renounce their knowledge, then they would simply kill them. At the same time, they destroyed all their written works and forced, through intimidation, the remaining scientists to discontinue the teaching of their knowledge of socially adept psychopaths.
Bearing In mind, the proposed legislation regarding censorship of the internet, under the guise of protecting copyright holders. I have to wonder, is this a coincidence, or is it a somewhat more cynical attempt by psychopathic people, to stop us normal human beings from realising what is really happening.

This government does not give a damn for what it’s people want and need. It just panders to the rest of the world telling other nations what they want to hear.

Hypocrisy?

I say the UN delegates were cracking up. The havn’t seen The Muppet Show in years.

More lies Mr Tanaiste . Thing is they say more about their plans when they are outside of the country than they do when they are here ,
Who are they trying to impress ? They remind me of a couple of over bearing ” mothers” who can not stop bragging about their kids to the neighbours but behind closed doors at home they beat the living daylights out of the same off spring . Street angels and house devils. I am sick of this.

I wonder which face he was talking from at this conference?

Here we have a very good example of the labour party sticking it to themselves, copy and paste the speech and send it to his underling in the people’s republic. Morons!

Did I hear that Raoire Quinn tell students in Galway recently that the online media needs to be marshalled ?
The Labour party are great at playing both sides – capitalist and socialist – truth and lies – republican and reformist – stupid and clever – rich and poor. They have it all.

This is coming from the same party that introduced censorship on RTE to block voices from the SF party leaders. I really believe Mr “Dublins way or Frankfurts way ” Gimore, who complained in the Dail about the state paying too much for land, one week after his wife received 500k for a slice of land, currently valued at 30k …. This guy wouldnt know how to ‘lie’ stright in bed….

Yea, yea… the usual two faced crap and lies we have come to expect from these traitors!

Talking through his hoop again

OMG what a two faced lying t*t

In fairness, anything to get this issue in the public eye more. Despite it being a two faced act, I’d rather it be recognised than ignored. Online freedom seems to be the last thing we hold free against governments and corporations. The day I can’t speak my mind and recognise freely where I’m basing my claim is the day I lose all faith in humanity. Censorship be damned I’ll fight it til the end!

I have not read Mr Gilmore’s full speech but can anybody tell me did he make any reference to what is going on in Syria? I would hope he could use this stage at the U.N to also express disgust at the slaughter for what it’s worth.

Link to a video of his speech?

An international conference on Internet Freedoms in Ireland? Well you can go all torch-and-pitchfork all you like folks, I’m going to wait until we see the outcome of this conference before I start the vitriol.

Five out of the thirteen comments in this subject are without a doubt defamatory and worthy of experimental legal action for the recovery of damages before the Circuit or High Court.
With the high levels of unemployment among qualified and intelligent young lawyers I do believe they could have a field day here.
This really proves the point that is worth making again again and again………..having ignored your mothers!………………..watch what you say before it takes the little you have!

The need to protect intellectual property is both mandatory and indeed critical in all modern societies. However my position extends way beyond the idea that copying others ideas and creations is an acceptable form of thieving because it is carried our electronically and nobody really gets hurt.

Anyone who publishes or causes to be published by deliberately receiving or transmitting the protected ideas or creations of others without their consent is guilty of an offence . This also includes the defaming of individuals or corporate bodies. In such cases the Courts may decide the levels of damage to property or individuals and or corporate reputations and an accused if found guilty of such may be compelled to pay financial penalties for said losses and or imprisonment where appropriate.

I do not see how contributors to these pages can abuse the freedoms of the press and grossly defame individuals simply because they have access to an electronic keyboard.

The law is for every one Frank so now please write five hundred time ; The law is for everyone.
Where in the name of God did you hear me suggest that legal protections would be selectively applied depending on certain financial thresholds being met!

I don’t spend my days watching and waiting for someone to comment either positively or negatively on my own contributions.
I have absolutely no difficulty in the rights of individuals and groups to express their opposition to Government policy or anything else that they wish.
However I have a serious issue with the manner in which named persons including elected politicians are described in language that is vulgar and abusive. I have a greater problem with terms such as liar and traitor which would be defined by our Courts as injurious to a persons reputation . The right of free speech is not without it’s limits and these are exceeded with such regularity in these pages that we need to test the use of the Courts against the perpetrators.
For some of the less intellectually endowed critics of my views try publishing child pornography and see how long your freedoms endure.
For those who believe that intellectual property is either unreal or non specific you don’t live in the real world where economic stability is based on it’s protection.
Believing that you are entitled to thieve because you have a grievance against the way some people carry out their business is akin to suggesting you may steal from a Bank because of the way Bankers have mismanaged our funds over the last few years.
Please save us from this sanctimonious drivel.
