Homophobia isn't a crime.
Yes it is, in Ireland at least if not in the UK. It's the Incitement to Hatred Act

Is 'heterophobia' a term?
Homophobia is a made-up word, being the conjunction of 'homo' from Latin and 'phobia' from Greek.

davidson is a toss pot nad a dinosaur..he shoulkdn't be given airtime
What Jim Davidson said was offensive and brian was right to feel offended but to let himself be reduced to tears etc..methinks Brian has other issues as well...I know gay people who would have just told Davidson to F*** Off and would have been raging with him...they would not have cried screaming they had never felt this vulnerable

Feck - but that was a buzz !!!
Didn't realise that whole auto-erotic asphyxiation thing had so much going for it. So that's why Tory MP's are into it...!!
Anyways - back to Jim Davidsh!t....

Watched the show up until lat sunday, and what i was thinking was brain dowling knew what he was doing the hole time, and knew that jim was going to pop sooner or later, jim davidson seemed a shadow of himself since big break comes across as a severely depressed man.
And i agreee with earlier poster jim davidson (at the moment) is a tosser. Brian Dowling is abigger tosser IMO, annoying ****. Destroyed SMTV!!!!

That's the worst written piece of legislation I've ever read.
I can't tell how that allows me to, e.g. refer to a convicted rapist as such, something which I'm certain is legal. Any proper legal punters on here? EDIT: Maybe 3(6)?

If someone has been convicted of a crime, then you are allowed to refer to them by that crime - e.g. 'convicted rapist Seamus Flynn...'. It's a matter of legal fact if they were convicted.
If someone wasn't convited you couldn't refer to them in that way. At most you could say 'alleged rapist', but given the law in Ireland you'd be wise not to as you probably wouldn't get away with it if it was contested.

if he was any sort of a man ( gay or otherwise ) he should have socked old JD in the kisser.
He didn't resort to violence when provoked. What a loser.

Yes Brian overeacts sometimes but I admire him for being able to restrain himself & not lower himself to Jim's level by hitting him. Violence is not the answer.

??? :confused:
Not at all. It's just a fundamental outcome of the legal system that you can refer to someone by the crime they've been found guilty of (unless there's a particular stipulation preventing it - e.f. anonymity due to age).
It's not just about the libel laws - it's much wider than that. For example - if I verbalised it, it would be in the realms of slander law, not libel. If I used it in consideration of whether to employ someone or not, it would then impinge upon employment laws.

Not quite. If you verbalise and it isn't recorded then it's slander. Verbal comments on radio, television and podcasts/videocasts it would be considered libel. The same is true if you are quoted in print media.
I think the law has a tough task ahead of it though in defining the difference going forward as material such as videos of people being recorded onto a mobile or home video camera which is subsequently posted in a public forum such as YouTube or simply shown to a lot of people has yet to be put to a legal test in this state. I would argue it should fall under slander unless it can be proven that the person making the comments should have had a reasonable expectation that their comments may be recorded.

Ha I wish I was 11 again! As for the brainwashing, how do you think my 16 yr old sister is well into the Pixies! She also gets dragged along to Mons matches sometimes.
And I havent bluffed any job from FAI mister! I dont have the official role of CPO, I just take an interest in what is happening to see if we can apply some of it to our club.

Davidson has made a career off of pawning himself out to the BNP types in Britain with his racist, homophobic nonsense and Hell's Kitchen should have known better than to put him on to spout his nonsense, we're better off without him, Bernard Manning and their like being on the box so good riddance.
Davidson is a racist and def woiuldnt be too found of Ireland, as was Manning, but hell i thought they were funny acts, and they were/are popular........Davidsons DVds sells well
he makes people laugh, so whats wrong with that?
And I'm first......! :D

There is nothing "PC" about giving respect to all the wonderful different aspects of society/humanity. Its about basic respect & Davidson has none.
