stsburns said:Not everyone in the world has the Right "Freedom of Speech." Also freedom isn't freedom, when it entrudes on someone else's freedom. I don't think it was too smart for the artist to criticize the same people who use car bombs?:mrgreen:
Offending is intruding....Which I would have to say I am the king of! But when I mess with you guys, you can't come after me. You would only know what I give ya...We should respect other cultures, even if we don't agree with them. Besides the fact who wants to mess with people who are known for pulling off assainations, I mean really. Does they artist have balls, or do they have a death wish? I mean its the same reason why people don't mess with the mob.Kelzie said:So exactly how is publishing a cartoon intruding on someone else's freedom?

So how can you keep your self from reading it...per say? Or hearing about it? Or seeing it on TV after you just avoided it the last 2 damn times?Kelzie said:Ah, no. No it's not. There is no such thing as a right to not be offended. Bet all those politicians are offended when political cartoonists make fun of them. And yet they don't say a peep. Ann Coulture offends liberals every day. And yet she can still do it. One of the greater things about America actually. Here's a little hint. If you don't want to be offended....don't read it!
So we should **** everybody off? Well good luck on that one? Surely you can name me ONE thing you are tolerant of?Kandahar said:If this kind of self-censorship becomes commonplace, it will be a tragedy.

Ann Coulture can because no libertarian is going to come knock down her door and shoot her dead. I mean that's what they call it gun control isn't it?
Americans are very restrained people when it comes to politics. Other countries, politics is dealt in life and death.
acrobat said:you can complain for the offending but never censure
So people are suppose to self censor?Kelzie said:If I'm a liberal, and I don't like being offended, I won't listen to/buy conservative opinions. It's really a very simple concept.
And you're basically saying we should give up our freedoms because some people might become violent? Sorry. Not all of us scare that easily.

So it is the "The News" 's job to offend? I would have sworn it was to "inform?"Kandahar said:It's a major news event, so yes, newspapers should show people what all the fuss is about.
What about your opposition's freedom of expression? Whatever it may be expressed as?Freedom of expression.

CNN's own article said:CNN has chosen to not show the cartoons in respect for Islam.
CNN's own article said:"The Holy Virgin Mary" by British artist Chris Ofili. He used elephant dung and images of female genitalia in that work.
stsburns said:So people are suppose to self censor?Because you don't have any problem censoring yourself? What freedoms did YOU give up by not listening to your opponent?
I'm not being scared, I am recognizing what they are capable of. You don't "F" with people who are willing to give their lives to take away yours. IT'S CALLED RESPECT!
Since you are a "Liberal" does that mean you are given the right to offend every "Conservate/Republican" you see?
How many times do I have to say this. OTHER COUNTRIES DO NOT HONOR THE "FREEDOM OF SPEECH." IT CAN ONLY BE REDEAMED IN AMERICA!
Let me respectfully desagree. If you are willing to give your life to take away main, I am willing to show you all my respect by shooting you first, like a mad dog; and then I may ask you what did make you mad? You loot, we shoot! Full respect, no questions asked.stsburns said:I'm not being scared, I am recognizing what they are capable of.
