Shootings in Paris

Fucking hell. Hang your head in fucking shame you utter ****.

I wondered when the abuse would start.

After that comment, you deserve all the abuse you get.

You have amply demonstrated what i have trying to tell everybody all along i.e. one persons perfectly reasonable and factually true comment can be offensive to another person in whose view the author deserves all the abuse he gets.
One persons free speech it would seem is more sacred than the other's and free speech does cause offence.

Thank you Stony for illustrating this.

It's OK everyone, call me Dave has been on the telly saying this 'barbaric act of terrorism against Western freedom of speech' won't defeat us blah blah.

What should he say? "I have decided to send all darkies to the middle east, then we will tactically nuke them and steal all the oil"

But stony, I imagine, is not going to murder you tonight even though you have offended him.

If it is used as a deliberate, considered act of provocation, which it was, then it is exactly that.
When the Jyllands Posten newspaper originally published the cartoons, they said that this publication was an attempt to contribute to the debate about criticism of Islam and self-censorship.
In other words a deliberate provocation. You could even call it goading.
It was that act that has led to today's tragedy.

I wouldnt agree with your wording, but the point you raise is an important one.

If the cartoons were not printed the people would still be alive.

It does fill me with great sadness that people have had to die in order that in some bizzarre way our freedom of speech is protected. Of course what will happen is freedoms will be eroded for all as Govts. always use such events to their own advantage.

@ golemole
You should be ashamed of yourself comparing the drawing of a cartoon as an act equal to the murder of tens of innocent people

You probably aren't though in your sick and twisted world

His argument effectively and worryingly boils down to this.

There are some excellent ones on Twitter, unfortunately I'm not savvy enough to link them.

That was a very insightful and constructive comment.
Thanks for taking the time and trouble to contribute.

But it's not an eye for an eye is it? Its 12 lives for publishing some pictures which no-one was forced to look at, if they didn't want to. Losblue's contribution is far more erudite than anything you have brought to this thread so far.

It's one group reacting to the perceived provocation of the other and the other group then reacting in return. Sounds like an eye for an eye to me.

You are either a idiot, a sick WUM or you hate western civilisation and freedoms as much as those murderous cunts.
So let's ban anyone saying, writing or making a doodle about anything that might offend Islam...terrorists win, murder wins, freedom loses. Where do you draw the line then, every other religious system will want the same privileges...maybe it will get to the stage where the Mirror won't be allowed print bollocks about us as it offends too many on here.

You going to fully illustrate by suicide bombing the south stand then?

"I've decided to step down" would have been good.

Exactly, he should say how he really feels.
