simpson_freak, firstly, you are in no way qualified to say that as you have not EVEN SEEN all 12, yet you talk in absolutes.
second, that is in no way a use of occam's razor. for starters, you're then ENTIRELY ignoring the article that was ran in the paper along with the cartoons. i'm beginning to wonder if you're even aware of said article. you're acting like they just randomly put in some drawings of mohommad for kicks.
again, please explain why each one, individually, has that message.
ya well the first publication didnt have such violence, so i guess its irrelevant to this issue, because the republication was done in a "you cant tell me what to do" attitude, which was exaggerated by the nutters, and thus you have violence.
i have seen them all, but i really want to go eat breakfast, its bloody midday, then watch last nights NBC TODAY, then hit the gym, then clean my room, then watch tv, and then if i hav time at night, i will reply while listening to spoonman.
anyway about occam's razor, i was merely questioning if it is wise to publish something vague enough that Al-jazeera can call it "insulting the prophet". sure if it is true that the cartoonist intended to show that mohammad would be appaled at the attitude of such extremists, so i would gladly support you in that.....but the issue of responsibility should not be overlooked, the republication got the violent backlash not the original.
cya later tonight.....hmmm i wonder if someone can use one of those cartoons for Module C, Frontline, about how the media accepts no responsibility for feelings of a few, but they would gladly not air a story like the Telstra one because it was a sponsor.....o advanced english how i miss her.
Who is starting Law at Unsw this yr...these cartoons can make a nice mooting topic....lol
