The phrase "Brain Storming" is now illegal in N. I

Northern Ireland doesn't exactly have the same freedom of speech as other places. Oh well, I'm miles from there, so I can still say it. Though I don't often anyway. It's really quite a stupid phrase to begin with.

I still think making a phase illegal is stupid.

Its like swearing, but ain't illegal!! It ain't twice as bad as swearing...

Stupid...

Brain Storming doesnt offend anyone.
Isnt much worse to call someone with a brain disroder a retard?
Why isnt the phrase retard banned?

Brainstorming is the act of collaborating ideas to spawn new ones. Its got nothing to with retards.
Maybe the ones who banned the phrase are the retards.

hahah, I wonder if anyone will be mad at me for that "racey" post.

Yeah... I don't think they have much freedom of speech in Ireland.
This is seriously ridiculous though... What happens to people that say it, even if they have never heard of the law?
Throw them in jail?

I think this law is more insulting to the country of Ireland than the people with defective brains.

Excuse me! Thats Northern Ireland. You can say what you like in the republic!

I do think its silly. With all the trouble with the IRA and UVF the government should be trying to improve the political situation there instead of spending time making the word "brain storming" illegal. Why exactly is it illegal anyway? I don't see how it could offend anyone.
