I find it hard to argue for the validity of polls lol. At the same time i can look around and see whats going on and what is being claimed. Islam isn't getting a bad rap imo.

Sadly, we aren't all Charlie. But we should be.

It actually wasn't NK, btw. People in the netsec scene think it was Russians taking advantage of a disgruntled employee. It just doesn't come up because the NK thing provided an excuse to go after that country for the US government and provided good advertisement.

Thats the newest conspiracy theory anyway.

If we wanted to go after NK, all we would have to do is expose the truth about what has gone on there in the last 40 years. We certainly wouldn't need a movie. We'd get better revenge if we just sent Seth Rogan over there. He'd annoy them into submission.

And Sony still cowered and pulled it. It doesn't matter if it was real or not.

The threat was real. It still could have been avoided had they had an actual IT professional in charge of the company IT, but it was real. The guy got the job through office politics not because he knew how to do the job. He stored passwords in plain text files. It was hilarious.

I just watched American Sniper which gave me have a small sense of satisfaction except for the ending which pissed me off again. Thank God for guys like Kyle!

Je suis Charlie aussi.

Aujourd'hui, hier, demain.

Toujours.

Novembre 2011, j'etais Charlie Hebdo.

Chacun - tout le monde - nous sommes Charlie Hebdo.

merci, Dex.

I don't disagree, but "these", "they", and "them" are where we sometimes run into trouble. Who they are in your mind might be different from who they are in someone else's.

In my mind, they're criminals. Pretty nasty ones for sure, but I'm not willing to elevate them further. They're not much different from gangsters, or gang bangers. That they might be motivated by religion rather than money or political power is less important to me.

I had watched the video, and you're right - it's very disturbing. But I think that what disturbed me most about it was that it was also familiar.

Disgusting.

I´m no fan of vulgarizing or insulting things different cultures hold sacred around the world; to each his own, in my opinion. That being said, I understand the need for criticism and the importance of these kinds of satirical publications such as Hebdo.

I´m growing very weary of hearing this kind of news every other month: sub-human extremists slaughtering journalists or civil servants or civilians.

Extreme measures should be taken, and as some have said here, I think the vast majority of docile Muslims should start taking notice and cleaning house immediately.

"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." They need to start doing something.

It wasn't Sony's fault though, the major theaters chains are the cowards that pulled out of showing it. Since you know internet hackers=totally will do a "9/11 style attack." *rolls eyes*. Anyways, from what I saw of the weekend sales numbers after Sony put it up online and at small theaters, Sony was right to pull out once the major chains chickened out. The numbers were terrible considering the amount of free advertising the movie had gotten, with one report going so far as to predict they would have made 3x as much had the major chains actually shown the damn film.

(Granted, from the sounds of it, the biggest issue of the digital release was how cheap it was, considering you can watch it with numerous people where a theater you'd need to spend $50+ to watch it with a couple friends)
