Simon Singh To Appeal In UK Court Today

TACD writes "Simon Singh, author, television presenter and known critic of pseudoscience, is in court today appealing the decision made against him last May over his use of the term 'bogus' to describe the methods used by the British Chiropractic Association. Today's decision could have far-reaching implications for the movement to reform Britain's horrifically outdated libel laws (that even America is making moves to protect its citizens against), and to begin taking steps to elevate Britain above the likes of China when it comes to open debate and freedom of speech."

    Why are you posting anonymously? Why do you want FP? You might want to read this FAQ. Seriously, there is no reason whatever to mod the GP down. Are you thirteen years old, mentaly handicapped, or just a troll?

      Actually, that would be a fair mod. I would have modded myself down but the "no karma bonus" button seems to not be working.

    I'm not sure incest could legitimately be claimed by anyone. In grade school when we heard of motherfucker, we had a saying that I'm sure most everyone else has probably heard, Mother fucker I may be, but the mother I fuck, isn't the mother of me. Basically, if you're married with children, you can be a motherfucker, if you like milfs, you're a motherfucker (could be anyways), or if you're just being insulted generically, your a motherfucker, and all this is without a bit of incest being involved. And with thanks to modern liberalism where teens are having sex more often, it's hard to find a single woman of legal age that hasn't had a kid or two unless you're surfing for them outside the highschool parking lot.
