    Since Obama and company are blaming a stupid Youtube video for the riots and murders in the Middle East and are even sicking the FBI on the alleged Film maker..should we just make it a crime to say anything against Islam to be on the safe side?

    Do we have proof that the filmmaker is being investigated by the Feds?

    We should make it illegal for people in the U.S. who do not treat mlong with utter contempt and mockery to operate heavy machinery, handle money, or try to dress themselves in the morning.

    Someone who thinks that if mlong sincerely wanted to expose the Evul Libruls, he wouldn't have made the poll anonymous and susceptible to trolls who'd vote "yes" just to skew the data. :shrug:

    Wow, is that site ugly.

    So the Obama Admin is asking YouTube to abide by its own rules. If it violates the sites TOS, it should be taken down. If not, leave it up.

    No, we should not. Nothing should be above criticism, especially not religion.

    We have freedom of speech in the US, as it should be. If the Muslims don't like it, they're free to stay in their shitholes and shit them up all they want.

    I'm all for pulling our people out of those shitholes, close those embassies, and cut off all financial aid to them.

    I'm really glad (or at least hoping) that this is one of the few things all of Wordforge can agree upon.

    Now, now, we can't have people not liking us. We must make accommodations for our Muslim Brothers. After all...the Crusades! :marathon:

    There it is in a nutshell. If the nations where we set up shop are dangerous because sufficient numbers of fanatics aren't into the whole "freedome of speech thing" we need to get (and stay) the fuck out of Dodge. Then they can make sure Allah isn't offended anymore, assuming they stay within the confines of strict Muslim countries and stay off the internet/TV/radio/printed media/etc.

    They can form one huge super-hermit kingdom, like North Korea on steroids if you will. First give all the people who enjoy the idea of freedom a chance to leave first, however.

    Those of us who practice religion may thank whatever power they worship that North Korea doesn't have any fucking oil.

    If North Korea had oil we'd have won the Korean War. :bergman:

    No, we wouldn't have because we had Truman and he didn't have the balls to give MacArthur the green light to do what was necessary. Instead, he told him to only blow up the southern half of bridges crossing the boundary. I quote the general when I say "how and the hell can you blow up half a bridge". That was the beginning on limited warfare and that was when America started losing wars.

    I haven't voted in the poll. It's as stupid as Black Dove's "shall we ban Islam" thread. If we are to promote freedom of speech and tolerance of all religions, colours and creeds then those are the principles we should live by. I don't care who's saying it, if someone wants to curtail those rights and freedoms, be Muslim, Jew, Christian, Athiest, black, white or whatever else, they are no friend of mine.

    I know what you mean. Anybody who wants to suck Muslim cock or take one up the ass from them is no friend of mine.
