But when you disrespect people and act like an asshole intentionally then you deserve whatever you get.

oliverlang;634487 said:I don't agree with the cartoonist's antagonism, but I also don't think the mature, adult, rational, and most sensible reaction to something like this is violence or death threats. Are words and insults really that damaging to your ego?

White people(yes white people) have a bad habit of disrespecting other peoples traditions and customs, and inciting anger in people and then when people respond they want to play the victim role.
He is not fighting for a noble cause, he just wants to be a troll.
I feel no sympathy for the white boy. Like Snoop said, you knew the job was dangerous when you took it.
And Step;634623 said:I agree up to a point. However, words can be very dangerous. Hitler started with words. Words can be the impetus to actions that are heinous. I think you mistakenly assume that it is strictly about ego. Some people want to preserve their way of life, and any thing that threatens that is seen as an enemy. Not saying that is the case in this instance, but in many it is.
oliverlang;634730 said:I agree also, up to a point lol. You can replace ego, with belief in this case. Either way, if it's really "true" and if you really believe it to be true then a cartoon is not going to change that. Also, I don't think Hitler and Vilks is a creditable comparison. I would also argue that Hitler was extremely influenced by his ego.
And Step;635208 said:Stop playin O,
Vilks and Hitler are not the issue. Words are. People can take words multiply by them by circumstances and create a hostile atmosphere, which leads to things like murder, war, and concentration camps.
Remember Hitler was inspired by Nietzsche words(or his sister some say).
oliverlang;639627 said:I understand what you're saying, and I agree words can lead to things like war, murder, etc; however, this type of behavior proves that a huge problem exists within mankind. People have attachments to concepts and words that are actually meaningless. You know, I don’t think the words are the problem, in my opinion it's the behavior and how we've been condition to respond to the words. A word is just that, a word. When the Taliban blew up all those Buddhist sculptures in Afghanistan, you didn't see Buddhist bug out about it because in fact a sculpture is just that, a sculpture. However, if someone draws a silly cartoon of Muhammad people start losing their mind. They brought more attention to it by reacting this way. I just can’t relate to that behavior, nor would any rational being.
And Step;639731 said:I don't think it had anything to do with the Buddhist not wanting to act up as much as they were in Afghanistan and they would have got fucked up. Buddhist wile out too.
And your analysis of people going silly over a cartoon is over generalized and too simplistic, something you are vehemently against. There are over 1 billion muslims on the planet who did not respond to that nonsense. Why take a few and make it the rule? There are Muslims in Sweden.
oliverlang;639782 said:Well, to be fair I didn't say Muslims, I said "people," meaning those that overreacted. Also, Buddhists didn't wile out because it's not in their nature to wile out over something like that. The international Buddhist community didn't stress it because they don't have any attachments to material representations of their belief. That is a fundamental principle in Buddhism. Also, that could have happened anywhere and they wouldn't have made a big deal over it.

We live in a world where a dick getting slapped because he intentionally offends others gets more attention than a dick intetionally dropping clusterbombs killing and wounding thousands.
not many things are stronger than the spoken word. I never understood why the strongest never reign supreme though.;;;

They want the freedom to make anti-Jewish art, but they will MURDER you if you make anti-Islamic art.
