Following is the list of the 191 Member States of the United Nations with dates on which they joined the Organization.Thrasher (_!_) said:Universal = ? Who "agreed" to said declaration ?
Are you assuming that becasue some have agreed to said declaration that the rest of the world should follow suit ?
So we are not talking about "some have agreed", basically the entire fucking world signed it, including: Iraq, Iran, Syria, Egypt, etc etc etc...
Perception(s) is something totally different than Rights.Thrasher (_!_) said:Do you treat all persons that are not in agreement with your perception(s) with such hostility ?
I do not treat persons who have a different perception with such hostility.
I do treat persons who deny my Rights with full hostility.
There are a few things that I hold dear and close, for example Rights and Privacy. I shall not back away from those.
Ah yes.. tolerance. Where is that on their side? I've seen them enraged.Thrasher (_!_) said:Our planet is shrinking daily (metophysically) and tollerance and understanding of others is becoming all the more important. The statement earlier in this thread about "fuck em if they cant take a joke" is initially funny and true. Well at least it would be if the "cartoon" was funny, but it isn't, it's blatantly designed to be antagonistic & offensive. Hiding behind the "freedom of speech" banner is not an alternative for thoughtful consideration of others feelings.
Where is their tolerance when it comes to a cartoon, a simple drawing? I've seen them riot.
Where is their strength to rise above that? They are weak.
Adults made the cartoons and publishes them, the outraged muslims? They are infants.Thrasher (_!_) said:Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying newspapers etc should be policed. But I would like to see them edited by adults.
