Brigitte Bardot Fined for Inciting Racial Hatred

[Lady Sidhe]

I got into this thread late, but for my two cents, I figure she should be able to say whatever she wants, in a book. I think LJ was the one who said that to be offended, one would actually have to buy and read the book. That's just it. Of course, that's France; I don't get those people anyway. I don't know how free speech works over there.

And as to her looks...hell, the woman's a hundred and sixty-seven years old --I'd say she looks damn good for someone who hasn't tried to go plastic (or has she?)....

Ahhh, Lady Syc, don't give up. Things DO get a little better. My Mom was very racist (I'm ashamed to admit), but I didn't buy into it. My Dad (originally from the South) taught me to view people as human beings before anything else. So we CAN change things. Maybe only one person at a time, but it does begin to add up.

The thing is, it won't happen during my lifetime, and I have too many other things that need my attention more. Ah well, people are going to say whatever the hell they want anyway, tact, couth, and home training be damned.
