I fail to see the relevance of this. In addition it somewhat upsets me that someone could get jail time for making an offensive comment. Depending on the jurisdiction or culture, I know I have said things that would be offensive to someone (specifically regarding religion.) To be faced with jail time over something like that does not sound like something I would expect from a western country.

Depending on the jurisdiction or culture, I know I have said things that would be offensive to someone (specifically regarding religion.) But did you say them with the specific, primary intent to cause that person harassment, alarm or distress? I would wager not. Note that I don't necessarily agree with the legislation, but it's an important distinction.
