I don't get it. Half the world lives like this and I think it is crazy. This other half of the world has a certain religion. Any time some nut job criticizes them or in some other way offends their sensibilities they fly off in a rage and act out like bad behaving children. Only it is real! Deadly real!
You and I live in a world here in America where if someone says or does something you don't like... you deal with it and move on. We have grown a thick skin because we have learned that no matter what you do or what you say someone somewhere won't like it. We don't go off rioting and burning and pilaging and looting (usually) every time some insult (real or imagined) is hurled our direction. My advice to the rest of the world that lives like this? Get over it. Who would want to live in a world like that anyway? Toe the party line. Don't get caught speaking ill of the Grand Poobah! What an awful thing!
Of course, the tendency for us in the USA is to say "To hell with them!" Then we hear all about letting the rest of the world try to function without all the millions and millions of our hard earned dollars going to prop up those crazy regimes that turn and attack us every time they get offended. I know it would be bad policy but it sure would feel good!
If you don't agree with me, I won't be offended.
