France always prides itself on being, somehow, the Birthplace of Freedom and Human RightsTM. And yet, there's been a law in place since 1990 forbiding anyone from contesting the Holocaust. And now, in an apparent bid to piss off Turkey and the EU as a whole, they want to do the same thing on the Armenian Genocide.
Take that, Freedom of Speech. There's actually been instances of people being fined and given suspended prison sentences for having said that concentration camps never existed. That this is the most moronic thing one could say is not the debate here; one should be able to say whatever one wants. Isn't that the most basic freedom?
