What if Charlie Hebdo had been published in Britain?

Spiked article with this headline is funny but very sad at the same time. Because, no matter how grotesque is the sequence of events described it the article, it is also completely true.

And the same goes for US, too, by the way.

If you mean these guys:

I simply don't know what to say. In any case, it is hard to believe that the French police will let them run around and act free.

Yeah, those are the ones. Never heard of them before, they just seem to live in a world of fantasy (though they kinda have the right idea) for their own satisfaction. I know you guys are probably "up to your ears sick" of advice of what to do from others, but here's mine. Make it too damn painful to fuck with you guys by anybody. Yes, I know what that implies, but it always has been the truth and always will be.

I agree absolutely, however not very helpful to Jews abroad who have to abide by the law of the land, which law doesn't think kindly on - to take one example - carrying of firearms for protection, even in cases like in France, where such is strongly indicated. In US it would have been somewhat different, in many cases, but not in Europe...

Very probably so. I have noticed that Mad magazine hasn't taken on the goat-lovers yet. And probably never will. Not many would want to invite a massacre, when it's so much safer to satirize Christians and Jews. Or Ganesh. Although I wonder why no Western mag has picked up on the Hindu's elephant-trunked god yet?

In U.S., most states allowed concealed carry, it's not hard to get the license, and with frequent practice at a range, the person can feel ready to defend all the time. But it's not something most Jews think about. Most of them are probably anti-gun to begin with. Certainly the ones who vote Democrat, which is the majority.

As long as it was a Democrat, my dear. Very commendable.

Sure, we in the masses never react until the media or a politician tells us how to do it. Simon, you are a boob.

SnoopyTheGoon said...

With that I cant' argue.

Mad, in fact, is not all that mad. Their agenda is pretty limited, although of course they do a lot of funny stuff, but all in the framework.

SnoopyTheGoon said...

Yes, this is definitely the factor too.

Nah, I am an equal opportunity politician-hater ;-)

That he is, with a lot of experience to prove that title.
