Breaking News - Three Gunman in Paris kill 12 and are on the loose.

Those twitter comments are DISGUSTING. Those cartoons (all of them) are also disgusting. I disagree with those disgusting twitter comments and I think both the comments and the magazine are hate speech.

Do you understand me? Did you just read it is reason to murder people anywhere? It's okay if you did.

 

so what you're saying is that you're just very easily offended.

got it.

 

If you think those magazine are not hateful, that's on you.

I believe, "The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam."

Drawing him naked and hairy is offensive. But that in no way justifies these actions. Two wrongs don't make a right.

 

The cartoons were in bad taste and disrespectful. But didn't deserve death.

 

fixed.

I'm out. I'm getting bored.

 

The same amendment that allows you to practice religion is the same amendment that allows the freedom of speech, you knucklehead.

 

Who was this poster before Crash The Boards. 600+ posts in one month?

 

Of course they are disrespectful. Satire and comedy generally are. So what though? Free speech protects their right to say it.

When you are attacking the drawings in a thread about being murdered for them you are doing the same thing as the people who point out that some girl who was violently gang raped was wearing a skirt that too short. She may have been wearing an inappropriate outfit, but bringing that up when discussing the fact that she was raped is giving mitigation and rationalization to the crime.

That's what you are doing here even if you don't think you are.

I mean, the Holocaust was bad, but Jews DID charge too much interest.
I mean, the inquisition was bad, but those people did act weird.
I mean, gang rape is bad, but that girl's skirt was TOO short.
I mean, killing 12 journalists is bad, but those cartoons were disrespectful.

 

Do you even live in America? Hate speech is illegal.

 

Great post.

Back to an otherwise interesting thread, please?

 

No it isn't. Ask Westboro Baptist Church.

 

I know you are going to go down in flames defending your position, but I thought I would provide a little guidance...hope this helps clear it up for you.

 

So you're butthurt about a magazine ad and twitter comments. Here's a suggestion. DON'T READ THEM! Sticks and stones, and I'm not talking about sharia law.

 

They believe gays are not a race or a religion, therefore, they think they can get away with it without being classified as Xenophobia. Also, they are crazy.

 

Thanks, B-Bob. Great advice.

 

Charlie Hebdo crossed the line a couple of times but in no way do they deserved to be executed the way they did yesterday. That's the point of satirical cartoons.

Labeling Islamic people as vile, disgusting, cruel, (insert whatever) is kind of grinding my gears too since it's a small minority of them who are committing these despicable acts. What about those who are living peacefully among us? This is how stereotyping occurs and it will further divide us in our battle against the group committing vile acts.

 

Where did I say I was butt hurt? The president made a speech and there was a shooting. I clicked on this thread and read through it. They came up in this thread and in the articles.

I do not read them in my free time, trust me.

 

OK, I get it. You're just ****ing with us.

 

What the hell was good about this thread. Enlighten me.
