This is what happens when you have thousands of people with nothing better to do than sit around and b1tch (and burn ****).

Not that having a job makes you any smarter, but it does tend to cut into your flag-burning time.

-Arrian The territories? You mean the Federally Administered Tribal Areas of Pakistan? Is that where this rally was? Cause it doesnt seem to have been in what I call "the Territories".

I think flag/effigy burning and protesting is a hobby in Muslim countries like bar hopping is here. "Hey whatcha doing afte work this Friday Osama?", "Oh I'm just gonna chill and burn and effigy of Bush while shouting death to all Americans." "Ya, that'll be a blast!"

I've always wondered how profitable it must be to own a flag business in the ME.

While I deplore religious violence/threats thereof, I'd also like to deplore ninnies who use their freedom of speech for gutter blasphemies and then act shocked when some ignorant peasants get mad and react the way they always react. Not that American political cartoonists are much better...

EDIT: I also condemn morans who don't spelchek their thred titels.

Not condoning the reaction to the cartoon but it is understandable, you'd have seen similar rage if you'd depicted jesus as a dog or something as recently as the 70's. Monty python's the life of brian didn't even directly reference jesus but it still attracted a fair bit of controversy. New York had a crucifix in a jar of urine and a picture of the Virgin Mary done in elephant **** with no death threats as far as I know.

The solution to these problems.....

Seriously.

These guys will mellow down considerably once their sexual frustration is reduced to manageable levels.

BC, well, there's always a person saying "well but just think about it... I actually think they have a point" pretty soon. There always is. No matter what the subject.

Yes but I wasn't joking. I do believe, that Darwinism and evolution will take care of the vegans and other losers at some point. Of course then we'll see how "serious" they are about their cult. Ohh so you want to live? Are you going to be a little vegan martyr or eat this blessed food we just cooked for your narrow ass?

People are starving aroudn the world and these vegan pussies are not even eating and that's fine, it's their choice, but when they start to point their fingers at others like "YOU'RE KILLIGN ANIMALS, YOU'RE KILLING SNOOPY!" is the time they need to get ****ed and dead.

And odds are, that vegans often support this kind of view. And their often atheists as well, so why the hell would they care about someones "religious feelings".

It's absurd. It's totally absurd that someones "religious feelings" are so precious, that they are more important than anything else. If a person has faith and starts to rage and act violent, it's somehow acceptable, because well they got upset and we should understand it. It's BS. Religious feelings aren't more important than "other feelings" or beliefs.

Soon these people will start passing us in queues, just because "they have beliefs" and feelings about it. What ever happened to tolerance? Meaning stay out of my business, tolerate me. Get over it. If you can't stand the fact that I exist and have my own beliefs that are different from yours, who is the intolerant one?

So "think about it", of course, I mean there were crusades, yeah, if you were some King bastards *****. We never went for the crusades. We never participated in the acts of colonialists. So I'm supposed to understand because well, I'm from west? No. Screw the Portuguese, screw the Dutch, screw the English, screw them all. I don't care. They were bastards then, some of them still are, but that has got nothing to do with me.

So stop with the "well we did a lot worse". No. YOU did. And if you want to turn another cheek, go ahead, if you have the strength since you're not eating properly.

Yeah, but as a metacultural reference it just hasn't caught on.

Anyway, I was more concerned about the protesters' inability to make a Swedish flag. If you're going to hold a protest and burn a flag, it doesn't really count if the colors make the flag unrecognizable.

I give them an Incomplete, which counts as a Failure until they resubmit their work for grading.

It was supposed to be 'Morans', in reference to the rather sloppy effort on that green-and-yellow Swedish flag.
