I haven't, actually. But I've read about what's in it.
On the shape it's crap and badly played, etc. It's amateur, with all this involves. On the substance, it makes their prophet a gay pedophile, and that kind of things.
And ultimately this is one of the many things about this that pisses me off. It wasn't even satire, it was just insulting.
It was a film (well, a trailer of a non-existant film) made to provoke a reaction. Now they have a reaction, so a bunch of moronic bigots are having a nice celebration somewhere in America.
I sometimes really don't understand how the US can be so right wing all the time, even up to the extreme as stated as above. Trying to not offend anyone from the US here by the way, but I get the feeling that socialism is a foul word there.
It just doesn't make sense to me why this is the case. I mean, I come from a country where social-democrats and socialists pretty much have been present since the abolishment of the absolute monarchy.
Speaking as a progressive liberal democrat myself, I completely understand where social democrats are coming from as it's not far from each other. Ron Paul quotes like the above just seem retarded to me in every way. What ever happened to a doctor's code of helping fellow man, for the good of mankind? How can that guy even put that in harmony with christianity, as he's probably another conservative christian?

I promised to leave this thread as I usually get angry when I realize there's still people believing in God ... but at least let me post this rather funny JV tweet:
"After watching all the 2012 presidential campaign tv ads, I have decided who I will vote for: Bill Clinton."

Wow. I never knew how everyone in Europe hates America so much.
There are idiots everywhere, in Europe, in America or in the Arab world (and in other places as well, as a matter of fact).
I don't hate America. But there's a lot of things wrong about it, like there are many wrong things here (but less of ours are linked to religion, I reckon). I hope I don't have to choose where I should be classified among only two choices that would be either blind supporter, either hater.

Nope, on the internet you can only be one or the other.
