My Statement as a North American on Draw Mohammed Day

You’ll not find any quarter from me on the Islamist agenda or much even on basic Islamic doctrine. Today however on Draw Mohammed Day, we the creators, the artists, the writers and the illustrators in this society who care about free expression and liberty, today we take the cowards way out.

If anything we should be attacking the people at Comedy Central who censored the South Park episode. We should know their names, who they are and save our artistic ire for them and them alone.

Instead we needlessly hurt some of our friends and neighbors who are like us but have come from a muslim family background. They too care about liberty and free expression and though they may not like it and wish it did not happen, probably would prefer to ignore the South Park cartoon rather than forbid it outright or ridiculously threaten violence for it’s mere broadcast. No doubt some are even relishing the idea of drawing Mohammed, as Muslims to my knowledge are not monolithic in North America.

Whatever their opinion on this matter, these fellow citizens are not responsible for the actions of those associated with Comedy Central and there is no reason to attack their traditions for the ill-considered actions of the cable channel.

It is to those who were responsible for the decision to whom we must direct our energies and efforts. Anything less is simply lazy and cowardly.

I got a lot of flack for it but I pointed out everyday in the West is Draw Mohammed day and that the old South Park pic of Mo is on wikipedia which has a bigger audience than the Comedy Channel alone.

so Ubisoft will pay broadband fees?

it's so ridiculous it's almost beyond imagination but there it is.

You must pay for broadband in order to play a single player game?

This has got to be anti-competitive and illegal someway.

Is it not too onerous? Are there no limits?

Eraserhead

Eraserhead anyone?

sleepy you donlt get it

you cannot be free living in CAGE.

Only accepting government approved ideas and corporate approved words is no way to live life. I might just get the iPod but certainly when it comes to phones I say all hail Android and maybe the pre.

The Android store will kill Apple sales if it takes off and allows adult content.

Sick of the dumbing down of us all - but sleepy I guess your name means ignorance is bliss eh.

was that a ZX81

looks like my first machine from all those years ago....

Yeah these games make me ill

I'm a 30-year gamer with an Elite 360 at home but I find games that mimic stuff you should do in real life despicable.

Sports, playing guitars - go out and buy a fucking guitar - it's sickening and depraved in my opinion - a total dumbing down of everyone involved.

Pick up a basketball, buy a hockey stick - do it in real life and let your gaming revolve around shit you cannot do in real life.

my no doubt minority opinion two cents.

y'all suckers and fools buying and playing this idiotic timed-button mashing "game".

worse than McD's you're eating cardboard and are too blind to realize it is not a organic gourmet meal, but you tell your friends it is.

On the other hand, if we ever needed a methodology to determine whom should be neutered and whom should be allowed to breed, well....
