Thought Police in England
If you are in England, your thoughts and intentions will be monitored -- if you are deemed to be "homophobic" (whatever the heck that means).
A woman was investigated because someone claimed she made "homophobic" comments. It was actually deemed a homophobic incident -- which, according to the police, are priority crimes.
And in Cambridge, "It is standard practice for all parties to be spoken to, even if the incident is not strictly seen as a crime."
So if you don't break any laws, but anyone thinks you're homophobic (or racist), you WILL be investigated by the police. If that's not intimidation, I don't know what is.

All of a sudden I had this thought to go and read about the Salem Witch Trials. I'm not sure why.
I'm sure that Sarah Goode was thrilled to be "one of the parties to be spoken too." Of course, her side didn't fare to well.
It's stories like that that actually scare me. The leftist thought police slowly insinuating their insane agenda's on us.

And you can be sure that there are a number of people who will read about that and say things like, "That's a good thing because people shouldn't be hateful."

I'm getting tired of seeing stuff like this. It just pisses me off in ways that isn't good.
BTW. You're lucky they aren't going after domeophobic people. You'd be in trouble.

I'm not a domophobe, I'm NOT a domophobe!

Ogre - My county has just lost its collective mind, and has created a Human Rights Commission a.k.a. Thought Star Chamber - here's the link:

NONE of the County Commissioners were against this - one thought that there weren't ENOUGH protected classes represented, and abstained for that reason! Mind you, this is in addition to SEVEN seperate anti-discrimination agencies run by the State - one for the hard of hearing, one for the blind, one for racism, one for....it just goes on and on. Now, we will have a COUNTY level agency as well, to make certain that nobody's feelings are ever hurt at any time for any reason - all at $40,000/year for the protectors....

"new commission, charged with raising awareness about discrimination and prevention"
Oh yeah, we need that. How can we live one more minute without that? That seriously sucks. A lot. Nope, no freedom of speech for you.
