THE NEWS:
"Another European country clamps down on free speech. From the article: 'It does seem bizarre that, in 2009, a modern European nation would seek to shield religious belief from criticism — yet that is what is happening in Ireland right now. In repealing the 1961 Defamation Act, the Irish government sought to expunge the worst excesses of Ireland's draconian laws restricting free speech, but in the process it has ended up making offending religious belief a criminal offence. Aside from a 25,000 fine (reduced from the 100,000 originally sought by the government), the new Defamation Act gives the authorities the power to stage raids on publishers: the courts may now issue a warrant authorising the police to enter, using "reasonable force," premises where they have grounds for believing there are copies of "blasphemous statements.

MY OPINION: http://yro.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1308693&cid=28759997
...Since they are all lambs, the religious people could not think about anything they are doing. I am not a dumb lamb, I think, I ask, I study, I am always trying to be a better person, and most of all, I am an atheist. Most religious people just follow blindly their book and stories, and forget to be peacefull, use their intelects, and most of all... be tolerant with the differences. "use reasonable force"? What is that? 500 years after inquisition, and nothing was learned? I am happy to be a brazilian, despite the "non-seriously" brazilian way of life, we are extremelly tolerant, and everybody lives in peace about their religious beliefs.
Sorry about all the Irish people, about their politics, sorry about the world!
Just an atheist that will never travel to Ireland
