It is so easy to get swept along with an ideal when that ideal sounds good. But, as is the case here, freedom of speech does not in life exist - anywhere - and rightly so. To clarify one point - I offer absolutely no defense for the murdering, cold, ruthless buggers who carried out these terrible attacks. They have no excuse for their behaviour and all who say thus here are indeed very correct.
One problem that can occur during these types of awful events is that mass hysteria - or even the mildest form of it - is so often manipulated by our leaders so that we follow their viewpoint and thus any potential hand of friendship is often withdrawn and those who suffer on both sides are those innocents who really should not be dragged into warfare - physical or verbal. This helps no-one on this planet.
I feel nothing but total disgust each and every single time innocents get caught up in the fights of others. It is cruel and heartless, as are many folk who draw breath and carry weapons. All killers everywhere are guilty. Not one has clean hands. The concept that we can justifiably loose a weapon towards the middle east without knowing how many children are gonna die is morally corrupt for all mankind.
Human leaders do not care for freedom of speech - it upsets their plans and sometimes helps curtail their madness. It is not in any of their interests, it truly is not. Thus when they say they are Charlie they are talking bullshit. They are simply rubbing their grubby little hands together and loving the media tide and attention.
If our leaders cared for humanity they would practice policies of peace rather than agitation. They would have tried to calm the waters rather than create the tidal wave of hatred that they and the media caused. It is they who also terrorise us each and every day.
This will all end once the apocalypse starts so roll on armageddon. If I say more than this about the prophesied future of mankind it may just be laughed at by some, but many on this site are aware of what the future holds.
I do not and cannot support any one nation above another nor do I condemn any nation above another. All mean have DNA thus all men are equal and strangely enough all men can be right idiots when they set their minds to it. We all could lift ourselves beyond this. Our problem is with men not religion or any God. It is with those who manipulate and kill for whatever excuse they manage to dream up. We are at their mercy and they bring down chaos and destruction upon our heads. We could all, each and every single one of us, do to others what we want done to us or else we may as well give up now 'coz we aren't worth a spit..
