From what I understand this bar wasn't exclusively a gay/lesbian bar but, they make up a majority of their patrons. The owner who was also fined is a refuge/immigrant from Iraq.

I wonder if they can appeal to a real court?

In our western society these days, it is only acceptable to make fun of white heterosexuals....

That only applies to white heterosexual males. For literally anyone else, it's all good, because they are probably joking.

Here's a quote that I find really interesting:

attending the hearing and watching Pardy a little, I think she really is stressed out. I won't put any clinical label on it, not just because I'm no shrink. To my mind, the crime of the "Human Rights" world view and the BC "Human Rights" Tribunal, is that it has fostered a victim "culture" in which people like Pardy feel they must take on the distress of a real victim, they must go through all the trials and tribulations of making a complaint, they must lie prostrate before the world, in order to serve the "human rights" world view. I think Pardy is convinced she had no choice but to be mortally offended by Earle's deeply resentful outburst. While some offense was inevitable, of course she did have a choice about where to leave it; but I'm just not sure that is apparent to her.

In other words, my resentment is not focussed on Pardy but on those who aid and abet this process and all those who have built up the ideology or world view into which Pardy has fallen. The "human rights" worldview needs victims to sustain itself and it creates them, really. That is what we need to attack, not individuals who have fallen into the trap.

If a crime was committed then the comedian should be charged criminally. If damages occured then civil courts should provide remedy. The HRC just doesn't serve a purpose.

If someone has the time could they find a good ruling that the HRC has made? Everyone I have seen is just ridiculus.

The problem with the HRC is it has to find people guilty to justify its existence, it has a built in bias towards finding racism as that is how it gets funded. This also applies to most other appeals systems, when I worked in the welfare system in the UK the appeal system would essentially approve well over 70% of the cases brought to it for little better reason than to reward people for using it.

The HRC spends all its effort attempting to find evidence of wrongdoing, it is their job is to find people guity, their is no premium placed on innocence within the system, nor do they look for evidence for innocence, all of the evidance presented is about the guilt of the party, the only check and balance is if they believe that evidence presented isn't strong enough.

HRC- You are guilty. Now we find out how much.

Kangaroo Courts that would fit in Pakistan but found here.

lol, it's okay to make fun of anyone. I make fun of white heterosexuals the least (myself not included of course) and as long as you do it jokingly, and not mean spirited pretty much anything goes.

I feel bad for the lesbos because he dissed them pretty good, but that's a pretty steep fine.
