[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree the Cartoons were in bad taste and had zero relevance...they were doing it just to be mean spirited. There was no knowledge to be gained...no REAL POINT, just be sarcastic butt holes for no apparent reason. Freedom of speech is not all EQUAL..[b]nor is it all worth dying for[/b].[/quote]Tastseless but it is NOT worth dying for no matter how much it sucks.

I don't like the Westboro Church either but as much as I DESPISE them, I don't think they should be lined up and shot (though I might be the only one).[/quote]But if someone DID line them up, would you carry a sign saying "I am Westboro Church"?
I'd still seek justice while not identifying with them[/quote]I don't think it's so much as 'I am Charlie and I like the tasteless cartoons' as much as it's 'I am Charlie and I have a right to free speech whether tasteless or not...don't like it, don't read it.'[/quote]I was remembering Playboy magazine in it's hay day with great articles written by some of the best and most talented writers (Joseph Heller, Ian Fleming, Kurt Vonnegut, and more).  Back then, our next door female college neighbor was an English major who absolutely hated the 'porn' in Playboy, but she never missed an issue strictly for the writers.  She would have been livid and would've been one of the first ones with a picket sign if the magazine had been shut down though it wouldn't have said 'I Am Playboy' but her sign would've been reflective of the right of free speech.
