Andy, why all the screaming and fuss ? I agree... its an opinion. Nothing wrong with that. I respect someone who feels passionately about something and expresses it as well as you did. Ok... someone disagreed with you. No problem. To each his own. Put the post back, theres no need to remove it. (Besides.... the current text will confuse everyone who didn't read the original).
On another note - Forget being upset about cartoons... did you know its not illegal in any western democracy to burn the national flag in public ? Its regarded as a freedom of expression. Even in America where they are so nationalistic and proud of their country. Theres a real demonstration of freedom and open-mindedness. Tolerance if you will. If we read a cartoon depicting our God or prophets, we're more likely to giggle than spit chips.
Speaking of which.... a priest and a taxi-driver arrive at the Pearly Gates and stand before St. Peter. St. Peter warmly greets the taxi-driver, gives him a silk robe and a gold Rolls Royce and ushers him into heaven. Then he turned to the priest and without a word hands him a cotton robe and tosses him the keys to a Hyundai Excel.
The priest kicks up a stink. But St. Peter hushes him by saying....
Your job was to preach ! When you preached, people dozed off ! His job was to drive. Believe me, when he drove, PEOPLE PRAYED !
Ok... now I'm going to restrict myself to talking about bikes...oh... and sex... and sport.... and women.... and riding....and pans post whoring.... not to mention simmo's post whoring...
The older I get, the better I was. Regards.... Rob (Astro)Edited by: AstroBusa at: 17/2/06 6:24 pm
