I love Pat Condell. I'm sure he'd have quite a few words if he were aware of the LBP issue.

Isn't Pat Condell that racist bigot who uses "free speech" as his automatic defence as to why he can basically be a prick?

watches the first 30 seconds of the video

Yeah. He is.

A few Muslims said they were offended by stuff in LBP. Sony have overreacted. No need to use this as another excuse to hate and generalise one of the largest religion in the world.

Question: if it turned out that there were some homophobic/transphobic lyrics on one track, would people be complaining that "the gays"?

Free speech does not grant the right for people like Pat Condell to call ME a "lefty liberal prick". If it does, then hey, Pat Condell is a self-righteous, arrogant, uneducated fascist spreading nothing but conceited hate-speech.

@Wardrox: Um... actually, that's exactly what free speech allows you to do.

Here's the thing, he's sitting there basically generalizing an entire segment of human society based on a very small subset of that segment's actions. There are millions of Muslims in many, many other parts of the world that DON'T conform to this guy's description. He's only really describing a handful of Middle Eastern government bodies, and using that to describe any and all people of the Muslim faith.

It's literally the same thing as saying that all Christians are hyper-conservative racist crackpots. When the common knowledge here is quite the contrary.

I bet the actual reason this guy believes that people will "Shit out" all their disagreements with him is because what he is saying is such utter tripe and not because all Muslims are the hypocritical defensive twats he describes them as.

However, at the end of the day, regardless of how wrong, disrespectful and ignorant this guy's statements are, he is free to state them none the less. He's just a cranky old bigot, and that's my right to say so.

"In debate or rhetoric, the slippery slope is one of the classical informal fallacies. It suggests that an action will initiate a chain of events culminating in an undesirable event later without establishing or quantifying the relevant contingencies. (...) The fallacious sense of "slippery slope" is often used synonymous with continuum fallacy, in that it assumes there is no gray area and there must be a definite transition at a certain point from category A to category B."
