It Is Still OK To Make Offensive And Hateful Remarks Against Foreigners
Inside Costa Rica

The legislators of the Comisión de Derechos Humanos (Human Rights Committee) decide to shelve a change to the Código Penal (Penal Code) that would make it illegal to make disparaging jokes and offensive comments in public about foreigners.

The proposal to the change was made by legislator Alexander Mora, who did not appear in yesterday's legislative session to defend his initiative, which led the majority of legislators to vote to shelve the project. The proposal would have meant punishment for making offensive, hate and hostile remarks against foreigners or groups of ethnic difference. The fine would have been between 10 and 65 days pay for making any such remarks, depending if the comment was made in public or not.

If it's ok to make offensive and hateful remarks towards foreigners in the US, why should we expect any different there, especially since we are responsible for all their problems... :P

Free Speak means Phuck them all.

If you are rude or vulgar I think everywhere in the world that is called a public nusiance.

Do not come in to my house and tell me what to think or say. I know in some places in the world I would have been killed along time ago. But I ain't giving up my God given rights. Trust me I have been in a cage with guns pointed at me. And when I saw a bitch I called them a bitch. I ain't saying it always worked out well. But I liked what I saw in me better like that. And I have to live with me first.

Trust me: Australia is dead serious about such a law which is already on the books: You'll get arrested in a heart beat if you use certain racial descriptors :

....of course CR ain't Australia.....but CR is so progressive and all....what with closing down important parlors of massage so as to allow access for the disabled. Ever so thoughtful that government.....ever so thoughtful....

The legislature will first have to decree that the term "gringo" is a term of indearment, not disdain, before they can take action on this proposal. Otherwise all of the ticos would go broke!

Could tell they were muy rico and it wasn't offensive but given the chance could of easily responded in Spanish with something not nice. :shock: :shock: (a Gringo speaking Spanish in our beloved South Miami :shock: ).
