After Supporting Freedom of the Press in France

[robvalue]

I was sad to see that English newspapers decided not to print the "offensive cartoon". I understand being scared, there is I hear a significant threat to England. But it's sad to see the scare tactics working on our freedom of expression.

Fucking cartoons. Grow up. If you are so easily offended, just don't read them. Ignore them. If your beliefs can't stand up to the slightest bit of scrutiny or mockery, they must be very fragile indeed. No cartoon anyone could ever make, even if it personally mocked me or my beliefs, using specific details about me*, would ever bother me at all. I simply wouldn't care.

The fact that you have beliefs based on no evidence does not give them immunity. Or at least, it shouldn't.

*The only exception would be a breach of confidentiality, which would cause me to complain due to a violation of my rights, but which would still never lead me to any sort of violence.
