NationStates Jolt Archive

I'd just thought I'd point out that there are at least five threads about nations being attacked by Islamic extremists and more that seem to lead to it. It's not right, but give it a break guys, think of something new.

How about The Cheese Issue?

Or The Rabbits/Tennis Connection?

How about The Cheese Issue?

What? The fact that Arab Muslim nations were boycotting Danish cheese after the Muhammad cartoons?

And what of Dada?

Thats a tricky issue.

Relgious rights vs. freedom of speech

Major Religion vs. cheese?

Dada?
Rabbits/tennis?

If you don't like people talking about it then WHY MAKE A THREAD ABOUT IT?
Why not just make thread about another important issue that you feel needs to be debated?

Thats a tricky issue.

Relgious rights vs. freedom of speech

Major Religion vs. cheese?

Dada?
Rabbits/tennis?

To everyone, not just Eve Online: I don't agree with extremism of any kind, in case you think I do...

If you don't like people talking about it then WHY MAKE A THREAD ABOUT IT?
Why not just make thread about another important issue that you feel needs to be debated?

If you don't like it, don't post in it

You know, if all it took was someone getting fed up with the number of posts about extremist violence, to get 'em to knock it off, so there's nothing to post about, well, what a wonderful world it would be :)

Aha, this is why you should never express your opinions on an online game
