I'm not sure if I'm happy or sad... I guess it depends on what the list is like.

How are you offended by the anthro community?

I'm not really... they don't affect me that much. It was mostly an example of a group I could tirade against if I were so inclined? You can substitute it with chavs, emos, Muslims, Christians or any other denomination if you like - they're all worthy examples of the point.

(Note: No, that doesn't mean I hate or love any of the above. They're merely examples. I thought I should post this just to cover my back).

Add any reason to be offended.  Then place that within the context applied against people who, superficially at least, appear to wish to be animals rather than people.  Then mix in the natural human reluctance/fear of difference or non-conformist behaviour.

If it wasn't big enough issue before it sure is now. Many european newspapers in France, Germany, Italy and France have published the drawings in the name of free speech. Curiously enough, the editor of the french France Soir got fired for printing the drawings. The owner of the paper stated that "We express our regrets to the Muslim community and all people who were shocked by the publication."

Interesting to see where this goes.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Breaking News:

Editor of the French newspaper got his ass FIRED!

Pwned by social regress.

But then again the only reason this **** appeared in all Euro newspapers was because it was news and people need to sell their paper. Not because of some exclamation point regarding free print, etc.

There seems to be some racism on the part of Muslim protestors in this. Seems they fail to differentiate between different Scandinavian countries...

Terribly neat, overly rich, grey-faced, souless watchmakers. Or engineers. Or designers. Are you saying there's more to Scandinavia than that?

just to say that -if we westerns would use their same parameters- we'd have "a little" more to protest for than some cartoons

I can think of hundereds of things that I see practicly every day that ofend me ort my religion.. Do I get all psycho and start burning flags (even tough the countries have no influence on the subject) or stoning people (who again had nothing to do with it)? Nope..

Hell if they think we are evil, oppressive and insulting now how would they feel if we really started to respond in the same manner... oh wait - I just realised they wouldn't feel anything.. since they would be too dead to do so.. :doubt:
