The wages of CARTOONS is death?!!!!!

Since when is THAT the case?!!!!!

After reading a news story, I just had to comment on it.  There was a cartoon of Mohammed (sp?) wearing a turban that was a bomb?  Ok, I see how and why that might offend Islamic people.  What I DON’T see is why they think it’s perfectly fine to cry out, "Death to the Danish!  Death to Americans!"

Excuse the fuck out of me?  I don’t even THINK SO!!!!!!

If a goddamned cartoon is going to upset them that much, they need to give some serious thought to their priorities.  I read that they fear a drawing of him will lead to idolatry.  Ummm, last time I thought about things like that, I thought that it was your own choice if you idolize something or not.  Boy, how stupid I was not to realize that someone could draw a picture of Jesus milking a cow and then I’d have to worship not only Him, but also a barn, a milking stool, a bucket, and a cow!  Jeez, how could I never have seen that?!

K, these folks need to get over themselves.  I really don’t appreciate this "Death to Americans" shit.  My grandmothers, mother, siblings, spouse, children, grandchildren, aunts and uncles, cousins, and all their children happen to BE Americans.  Therefore, these people are wishing death on my babies, among all the others, over some fucking DRAWINGS?!!!!!

I guess they have nothing better to do with their lives than be petty, hateful, and stupid.  Ummm, did I just describe myself?!!!!!!

It is 6:19am, and we are out at Mama’s house.  Mama had us spend the night.  She has two doctor appointments today, and she wanted us to stay here with Memaw today instead of having to worry about taking her into town.

I am the only one awake, with possible exception of Memaw.  She was in the bathroom when I woke up, but then she went back into her room, so I’m not sure if she’s awake or asleep.

 Stupid bloodsugar is starting to drop, so breakfast is pretty necessary right now.

My Mikey, precious baby, I love you forever times PI cubed plus one,

Your Jack

this cartoon thing is being blown out of proportion. i cant believe how much they are spazzing. I mean i know that cultural differences are pretty big between middle east countries and america but give it up people, its not that big of a deal. and if it is, then mohammed will smite those who drew the picture or whatever that god does when angered by false idols.
