So…ahh…he’s actually spot-on, here.
I agree with this, race is how you are born, religion is just how you think.
Unfortunately race isn’t even about how you are born half the time. But this is a topic for another day, another time and me being drunk enough to want to try and explain that mess. But they are all social constructs; not biological realities. how they go about being socially created is just a mess.
“Also, im’ not an animal, i take offense to that, i’m very civilised.” This is great because so are fundamentalist islamists, breatherians, Raelians and every other group that is out there. For better or worse all the anger towards the cartoonist is just one segment of one culture taking offense at the way somebody chooses to express themselves; they got that whole “judging by my standards.” Civilization and supposed levels of it are mostly nonsense arguments. no culture is somehow superior than others. We all behave in wacky beautiful ways.
Double post
The poster below me is a dumbass though.
there’s no reason to draw muhammad, let alone muhammad as a dog, in a gay bar, or in any derogatory manner, except to gain infamy as the guy who defiled muhammad. this “artist” is worthless, his “art” is as much a gift to the world as ebola. if he is killed for his actions, he deserved every bit of it, and i (naively) hope no action/sanctions will be taken upon the muslim people for defending their prophet and his image.
there is no reason to NOT draw mohammed, or ANYTHING, period. I don’t care if he drew Jesus, Buddha, Ghandi, Mohammed, and mother fucking Shiva, all circle jerking over a shrine built to Adolf Hitler. It’s free speach.
If he is killed over it, I hope 10000 radical muslims die for being arrogant fucking animals
Trollin, trollin, trollin, rawhiiiiiiiiiiiiide.
yeah behind a dozen cops.
tongue-in-cheek genius, bravo.
explain this.
why isn’t there a reason and who gave you the authority or anyone else the authority to say so?
exactly. Why is a religion I don’t believe in or follow, dictating how I should live my life? Should Christians or Catholics be allowed to free all virtually enslaved Muslim females, because THERE bible says all men were created equal? How about not letting muslims marry fucking children?
Like I said earlier, if you wanna be considered part of the world, act like it. You don’t get to dictate how the rest of the world works, when your parts of the world DO NOT WORK
1,000,000,000+ people are vehemently against you drawing their prophet.
the only reason you draw their prophet is because you find out they hate it.
you deserve what’s coming to you (for being a punk bitch).
I cannot believe the dislike for free speech here. Push these religious motherfuckers until they want to hit you: sounds like a good idea to me. Let them be seen for who they are. No room in the world for people who cannot listen to other ideas.
You cannot make me hit you by offending an idea. Methinks they secretly know they’re talking about something subjective and unimportant like religion and fear being taken down a peg (which can happen because its not real, and etc).
The more “tolerant” people here seem to be tolerant only because they might get punched in the face. OMG without religion what stops people from killing one another!
I think John Stuart said it best: “I say this to anyone who’s threatening death in the name of religion or politics: ‘GO FUCK YOURSELF!’”
?Go Fuck Yourself Now?
?Go Fuck Yourself Now?
Meh, art is there for a reason, let them be angry, let them kill people over ideas, in reality I believe this is the point that this guy is “really” trying to make with his artwork and beliefs.
Also
This has nothing to do with the article/thread but,
For some reason all I can think about for some reason is the story of how the nazi party stole hundreds of thousands priceless pieces of art from the European countries they occupied.
I guess to sum it up, Art is awesome.
Or how the Taliban (muslims) destroyed all of those ancient statues in afghanistan, priceless artifacts of ancient human creation.
Laws (like free speech) are not some divine-given right. Laws are made by humans and henceforth, enforced by humans. Free speech was an idea…an idea presented by people who didn’t possess political influence in their homeland. Laws, whether they be free speech, illegal homosexuality, slavery, racial genocide, are all simply the result of popular opinion. Ergo, your values will not be shared by others with different values.
Laws are ALWAYS subjective, NEVER objective.
"Laws are ALWAYS subjective, NEVER objective. "
Expect for that one of course.
PREFLEX has proven his/her/its idiocy in other threads. Imbeciles don’t deserve replies.
@ anyone who’s saying “they shouldn’t have drawn the prophet”: shut the flying fuck up and get out of here with that bullshit. If a religion cannot survive without threatening those who ridicule it, hell if ANYTHING cannot survive ridicule, it wasn’t meant to be.
A religious friend bought me the Playing Gods board game, which I played with other religious friends.
Despite being a heterosexual male, homosexual couples can exist without affecting my heterosexuality.
Japanese games, television shows, anime, and movies are mostly shit, but I still am close with people who like it.
A friend once said to me “we’re living in the second dark ages.” Seeing dumbass motherfuckers support baseless censorship doesn’t give me hope he’s wrong.
Dr. B coexists with all races, religions, and genders. Except the French.
Satire granted, that proves my point.
