cartoons AND FANS
I have taken in doing so, but I had to talk about the controversy that generated the Muhammad cartoons. Controversy has become a violent protest by thousands of brainless and has revived the debate on freedom of expression. Each time I have more clear that World War III (what a bad roll da write these words) will find their trigger in some bullshit, maybe not blown for a penalty in the final of a World Cup, for instance.
"Freedom of speech" I have seen / heard / read as more than one commentator stale media are filled his mouth to utter the formula. "We fought for freedom of expression and can not undo the advanced way", but of course, freedom of expression with respect and that does not attack religious beliefs.
affirm that there is still censorship and freedom of expression is just that, a phrase that is pronounced with a big mouth and mind shrunk. There is still censorship, perhaps not the snip, but rather an indictment in other forms. "Wow - think someone .- You talk about censorship and nobody prevents you express what you leaves the balls in a blog. Fine, but what if I apply for a scholarship for an art project? What if I get a literary prize to earn a living doing what I Like? No doubt I'll have to censor themselves. And self-censorship is the worst form of censorship, because the blame is yourself. The scissors are invisible.
But where I go is the theme of "star" that is placed on "freedom of expression," the fine print. In this "freedom of speech yes, but not touching religion." Is it that those who believe that religion (in capitals) is one of the great problems of humanity have no right to express it? Why this mania to protect religion from criticism? Did not think freely about sex, politics, terrorism ...? But not about religion. Because Faith is like a house of cards: if someone slams the door the little castle is going to hell. The foundations of faith are so fragile that they must be protected fanatically. Talking about religion in these terms is not within the concept of "free speech" that defend the four assholes who are always swells the chest when they call themselves "democrats." And yes, I can say in this blog. But it's a fucking blog! I can also crap in God and the King, out loud in the privacy of my home. But that is not freedom of expression.
