I am not sure what the legal definition of "hate crime" is, but they will surely know.<br /><br />However, I doubt that anything will make much difference. Personally, I would take some comfort that the comments say more about the people making them than they do about anything else. <br /><br />No one has the right not to be offended, though: that is the basis of free speech. Indeed taking the "I'm so offended" line is really playing the same game as the extreme politically correct lobbies.<br /><br />You should just ignore them. You appear to have sought these comments out - if you really want to avoid being offended do not look at such websitesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33970956.post-41807738731782947892012-03-24T17:59:06.998+00:002012-03-24T17:59:06.998+00:00Today, serendipitously the vigil of the Feast of t...Today, serendipitously the vigil of the Feast of the Annunciation, is the anniversary of the passing of the Catholic Emancipation act in 1829. Considering that we are constantly told by the State that we should celebrate diversity, shouldn't we have fireworks on this night? After all, Muslims and Hindus are permitted by English law to have fireworks on their respective religious festivals. <br /><br />Think about it, on what was new year's eve in Catholic England of old, can the State object to a festival which celebrates freedom of conscience, and the tearing down obstacles and barriers to civic participation. It could also be a pregnant moment for evangelisation too.Louisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33970956.post-48090561534758173702012-03-24T17:45:02.747+00:002012-03-24T17:45:02.747+00:00In the United States we have the Catholic League w...In the United States we have the Catholic League which exists explicitly to address anti-Catholicism like this.
