pretty poor crowd at the last day of the cricket for a game that might have a result

saturday is probably a bad day to finish a test .... but i think people don't have the patience to sit through full days of cricket

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

sorry Barry. that wasn't a shot at you and superficial was probably not the right word I was looking for.

it was a comment about what I've heard many people say in that they try to completly distance this act from being related to isis. I was just stating that while it may look like and seem that simple to many, that there may have been a deeper motive than just being some psycho with a gun, and could be related directly to the aims of an extremist group.

My apologies as well. My post sounded a little more cranky that it was intended too

I think it is clear there is at least some relation to ISIS (or similar), but I doubt they were 'pulling his strings' so to speak. This guy didn't seem to be good at taking instructions or advice from anyone.

yeah I agree, I don't think anyone was directly pulling his strings. it was a shitty event no matter what his motives were.

Well, you know, with freedom of speech comes a certain level of responsibility also. I'm not condoning what those blokes did. Just saying.
And that magazine's been warned before. This is not some random attack.

yeah i kinda agree .... this is terrible - but you gotta be careful stirring the pot these days

just like normal day to day life now - some f**ker cuts you off in your car, you need to think twice before giving it to him cos he's likely to get out and f**kin kill you

I kind of agree lingard. Why piss people off for no reason? Just because you despise a group of people is no reason to antagonise them.

Charlie Hebdo should go back to stirring up Christians like every other comedy act in the West. Then they can whinge about Christian oppression when the peaceful protests come in, rather than fearing for their lives when Muslims get pissed off.

Its good to see the French press and others help make 1 million copies of the magazine for publication (where normally only 45,000 are in circulation per week). Business as usual it seems, to continue the freedom of "thought and expression" of the publication.

Fearing for their lives? Hardly

That's by far the most reasoned and logical post Hindy had ever made

He did a good one on masturbation a few months ago.

 

[lingard]

The 'Anonymous' group (of hackers) have now declared war on ISIS and Al Quaeda. They have sworn to hunt them down worldwide (presumably using computer technology and cyber attacks, etc).
Great news.

There was once a poem by (I think) Robert Graves, in which he stated that "The best lack all conviction, while the worst are full of a passionate intensity". Good to see some of the 'good guys' getting their mojo back.

 

[Hollywood Jesus]

They're only "good guys" because they're on our side. It's not as if the likes of Charlie Hebdo were shaking the hornets nest or anything (or whatever that metaphor is)...

I think it's kind of sad that everyone can't see how Muslims are being set up by the Illuminati in their most recent incarnation of the Hegelian Dialectic.
