[quote][i]Originally posted by MoesTavern[/i] [quote][i]Originally posted by Balling[/i] [quote][i]Originally posted by MoesTavern[/i] it all seems too much 'us against them' to me, marching in solidarity for our 'right' to publish whatever offensive and bigoted material we want, just because we can. [/quote]"Us against them" as in "we, that believe shooting something over a drawing is slightly disproportionate, against them, that shoot people over drawings"? [quote] Us against them as in "If you're not with us you're against us" which is very limiting. You can be against the murders while still finding Charlie Hebdo distasteful. [quote][i]Originally posted by MoesTavern[/i] The freedom to mock any religion idea would be fine if Charlie Hebdo hadn't specifically targeted Islam for the majority of their stuff. [/quote]Wait, what? You're all for freedom of speech as long as it's used to evenly distribute satire across every known group? If you think there's not being made enough fun of the jewish and hindus, go make fun of them. If you think Charlie Hebdo is making too much fun of certain groups, pick up a different magazine. Your notion of freedom of speech is ironically warped if you think it's something that can only be used for good or in a certain way that you deem appropriate. [/quote] Eh? I'm saying that Charlie Hebdo weren't defenders of free expression, they spent their time making fun of France's Muslim minority. That's not freedom to mock any religion, that's intentional persecution. The fact that they've been killed for it doesn't make them worth championing, it's an uncomfortable thing to hold up as a symbol of press freedom. [Edited on 13-01-2015 by MoesTavern] [/quote]
