alright hands up, who knows that muslim fundamentalists are a wee bit sensitive about their beloved leader?
that's what i thought, everyone knows these guys mean business.
i haven't jumped on the free speech bandwagon and applauded the bravery of the french cartoonist poking fun at the prophet muhammad. if the french editor who gave the go ahead to ruffle the feathers of muhammad's crew was my son, the decision would have been different. as far as i'm concerned, he poked the bear and the bear retaliated. the result was quite predictable and the consequences are also predictable. the chasm between muhammad's militant crew and non-muslims has widened and views have hardened.
now the loony french canadian newspapers have decided to PUBLISH THE OFFENDING CARTOONS. are these guys slow learners or is it their misguided attempt to show just how courageous the new breed of frenchmen have become. you know, make us non french quit telling jokes about the french performance and actions in world war two. long live vichy france. these guys are closer to being idiots than being heroes in the book of billy. eliot agrees too.
in the age of the internet, anyone wanting to see these cartoons is only a click away from enlightenment, we don't need some fucknut editors poking the bear.
smooth, they are not.
speaking of smooth, i've decided this song/video is an all time top ten.
i love you sons of bitches.

Well you're right about the internet, but what if every newspaper in the Western world published the cartoons? That would be like confusing the bear with big herd of moose.
if every newspaper in the world published the cartoons i guess the cartoonist would make a lot of money and us taxpayers would probably pay a lot of money to protect him/her.

Yeah it's amazing that folks want to tangle with Muslims but I guess in France you can't spit on the street without hitting one. So why not lampoon them in cartoons?
The thing that amuses me most is the folks that insist that saying it is a religion of peace will make it so, because golly it must be true! There are peaceful Muslims!
what really bugs me is the french canadian newspapers acting like heroes and printing the cartoons. if some kid now tosses a rock through the window of the newspaper office, our beloved prime minister will call it an act of terrorism and give the police more powers.
he loves giving the police more powers.
As always, your neighbor Irish always has an interesting take...
What else is new? We're sure not short on nuts in this world.
Coffee is on

YES to that, Billy!
You know, I love Teddy Bears. They're stuffed, so have little to say, and they don't support religions.
I do wonder if it was all staged for some other reason. After all they were hosting a summit on terrorism the same day. People on Facebook posting dumb stuff saying US Eric Holder wasn't there - B.S. - he was there early. I find it hard to believe all of those top dogs came in for a cartoon. Think Woody Woodpecker, if you want to know what I'd say.
thims - if bibi says it's legit, canada stands behind him.
dora - what else is new? bbc got rid of his scooter.
dixie - i don't think it was staged but then again, i think pro rasslin is legit.
Yes, well, pro rasslin is legit. ;P
I still have my electric scooter.
Excellent video and I agree with you about poking the bear, why bother?
I use to have a pistol made in France, it was pretty good but what it said on the side seemed a little wimpy to my American eyes.
Something like
"Pistolet Automatique"
