    That may work in martinworld. Is there anybody in there but you?

    How naive can you get? How does the irish guy react when a Brit does the same thing. He kills people and goes on a 40-year terrorism binge! What a stupid, stupid remark.

    I swear if you ever walked into Phil Brady's when Phil was there and said all you Irishmen eat shit, you would get a mug up side the head and a merciless pounding on the sidewalk.

    Right, but..... all those Irishmen in that pub aren't going to get pissed at you, and then go kill a bunch of innocent people that had nothing to do with it.

    This one was kind of significant and I think you realize this.

    The majority of the American people do find such things to be in poor taste and the President represented that sentiment to the rest of the world when he said as much. I think his defense of free speech was clear and he displayed to the rest of the world why we are the greatest nation on earth, because in spite of our disdain for this kind of hateful propoganda, we tolerate it in our free society.

    Yes, but all they had to do was denounce the actions of the terrorists. Plus, it wasn't even the people protesting the video that attacked the embassy was it, or am I misinformed?

    i dunno if the full video is even available. i have watched the trailer and i cant make heads or tails of it. i would have had no idea what it was about without the controversy. its just some dude saying stuff that does not make sense and is completely without context. it makes as much sense and is about as offensive as a pile of firewood.

    You think they are so uptight because they are sexually repressed?
