I agree with you Rosbjerg... but in general I think the press has much more responsibility to remain impartial and truthful than that of a comedian... or am I wrong to think that?

Ooh... Mr. Metadigital! Long time no see

We watched a double bill of Burton/Depp movies last night... "Corpse Bride" and "Ed Wood"... much awesomeness I strongly suspect that there might be a viewing of "Fargo" tonight if we don't go out

You're right... no one is And about your second point... it seems the rather subtle point I was trying to get at (that clearly was too subtle) was that the vast majority of muslims are moving on... the small minority that are the extremists are the ones who continue to go on... there is a difference between two... but I guess the press has the freedom to not clarify that OMG! Let's hope he makes an appearance ^_^

I'm not even going to ask why you were on the CBBC Newsround website, Mr. Walsingham...

*yawns* Urgh... I can't believe this "debate" continues on here... I really think we're giving this whole incident more attention than it actually deserves... we're distracted from more important issues in life... the muslims (yeh, real ones! ) that I know and have spoken to about this all agree that the cartoons were distasteful, but strangely enough, are getting on with life and are more concerned about the continuing poverty in third world countries, as well as cancer, mortgages, bills and university assignments. Believe it or not, the vast majority of muslims are normal people too! Shock horror indeed. I think people on both sides (although, I hate saying "sides" since that shouldn't be the case but clearly is) should get over it and move on

Feel free to start a new thread about propaganda if you so wish... however, I don't see how it is appropriate for us to start a discussion about it in this thread... we wouldn't want to de-rail this love-in, would we? ^_^ My intention wasn't to impress you... I apologise if that's the impression I gave in my post... I don't know you and therefore I don't care what you think of me... unfortunately, I don't have my findings or results from my research here with me, otherwise I'd be happy to share them with you... I can ask to have them posted up to me if you so desired I don't believe that this forum is a democratic state as such... therefore, how does that make this thread a democratic debate? Please feel free to explain how it would work in this context though... I'm happy to admit if I'm mistaken or wrong Also, could you explain how me calling you naive in your viewpoint about the presence of ignorance and disrespect in democratic debate is a "blow" to my self-respect? Thank you... but I think you used " " by mistake there though... "

Actually, I'm not wrong... I've read multiple research papers on such things... and conducted research on it myself... propaganda only seems to have become more sophisticated and more widespread... but I'm not going to argue around in circles about that nor is what this is about... Ignorance and disrespect does not raise debate... it hinders it if anything... and you're naive to believe otherwise... and please don't patronise me with "Deal with it." The only thing I was wrong about was deciding to read this thread...

I'm not going to say since I know how silly you actors can get about that... instead I wish you "break a leg"

I'm not directing this at you specifically Mr. Barlast, but I'm quite surprised that people continue to consider this as a whole "freedom of press" thing... there's never been true freedom of press anywhere... I'm sure that there are those educated and clever enough on this forum to be aware of that... media was created as a tool of propaganda... you're only ever going to hear what someone wants you to hear about... be it your government or religious leaders... of course, that doesn't mean I agree with the over-reacting extremists or bomb threats... I'm just sick of reading a lot of ignorant and disrespectful comments

I like all forms of potato... I think I'll make some mash tonight... I just ate two pieces of toast and a banana with a glass of Vimto :D

This made me think of Blue String Soup. I might try making that on Friday when the nephews come over. How many housemates did you have afterwards, and what exactly was in these cookies? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> ^_^ I meant I had two cookies and you know that And I used flour, bicarbonate of soda, salt, butter, brown sugar, white sugar, vanilla essence, eggs and chocolate chips ... oh and a sprinkling of rat poison

What happened to that post, eh SurFlatty? "

Yes you are

Has he really left us? I miss him lots :'( And no Blank,... only those that have proved their true monkeyness to me have been worthy enough to have seen a picture of me... so

It's made with fake meat instead of real meat Mmm... rat poison

When? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> About the same time you requested this. And this... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I didn't request those... I believe you created those awesome avatars some time ago... and I believe my evil twin sister even made an appearance ^_^

I made fake spaghetti bolognese... which was surprisingly yummy for my cooking... and then baked cookies for my housemates... of which I had two

When?

Can I interest you in a dynamite cover of that song by one of my favorite bands? LINK to amazon site with 30 second clips in windows media and realmedia <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It's not bad, but I don't think 30 seconds does any song any justice

I want Doritos now... and I don't really like them all that much

A helicopter you say... Would one of these work? " <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well... I guess if you've already bought it for me, I can't turn it down now, can I? "

I used to have a really old Mini Cooper... was awesome and I honestly felt like I was driving a go-kart... but then my brother borrowed it and wrote it off so now I'm car-less... poopie brother I'd want to get another Mini to replace it eventually... but my current student situation dictates otherwise <_< My dream vehicle would either be a tank, the Batmobile or a helicopter of some sort... I'm not fussy
