Maybe you should set up a tipping service?

Maybe I should have titled this thread: "JE SUIS CHARLIE and general observations regarding the ChitChat supreme Placepot competition"
In that way the thread can express solidarity with the victims of an Islamist terrorist atrocity which threatens the very foundations of western civilisation and freedom of expression and also gives a nod to those who have tipped up a few nags to get in the frame over the course of the season.  |

I don't think so The Leopard, I couldn't be bothered with the aggro and last year, although it was pretty good the returns were not that brilliant to be honest given the overall stakes. My placepottery efforts in the competition suits that format quite well but as for being a tipsterer it wouldn't be too sound an investment I wouldn't have thought in the long term. Stick to the big meetings like Cheltenham, Royal Ascot and Glorious Goodwood where the pools are huge and the favourites are over bet, there you will find the decent dividends.

@Aboujahjah I am not Charlie, I am Ahmed the dead cop. Charlie ridiculed my faith and culture and I died defending his right to do so. #JesuisAhmed |

I did my best to try to make a life for myself and my family in a secular country and got murdered in cold blood by so-called co-religionists who showed no mercy. RIP Ahmed. |

An offensive cartoon on Woman = Sexist
An offensive cartoon on Blacks = Racist An offensive cartoon on Gays = Homophobic An offensive cartoon on Religon = Freedom of speech |

By:
Thebetterbettor, what makes something offensive and which higher authority determines whether something is offensive or not? An offence on occurs when someone chooses to be offended.
Your oversimplified and flawed analogy does not include the notion that merely depicting a woman in cartoon form is therefore offensive. |

By:
An offence only occurs when someone chooses to be offended.

By:
Good point.
|
|
By:
yes thanks for correcting my typo
|

By:
It seems like the overall majority decides what's offensive or not......if you dont like mohammend as clown well tough but as long as you dont do any cartoons on "bongo bongo" land, it all okay with us.
|

By:
not sure I get the point you are making. Can you explain further please?

By:
...the last bit about 'bongo bongo' land is the bit I am struggling with

and as it's a format of debate you seem to prefer, I'll let you complete this thebetterbettor:
An "offensive" cartoon on Christians = Freedom of speech An "offensive" cartoon on Jews = Freedom of speech An "offensive" cartoon on Hindus = Freedom of speech An "offensive" cartoon on Islam = _________________? |

By:
Have a look at the cartoons of the 1930s to see how they use to depict race...and now they're all censored on tv.
|
|
By:
An "offensive" cartoon on Jews = anti-semitic. That's why you don't see any more of them since the 1940's

Thebetterbettor - I see plenty of recent cartoons depicting moses and poking fun at their religion. Not headline news because nobody got murdered as a result. I should have put Judaism, Christianity, Hinduism instead of Jews Christians and Hindus.
A quick google and I found these ut I guess they are not considered "offensive" as it is a different set of rules for Islam? https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=jews+depicted+in+cartoons&biw=1518&bih=639&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=ahyxVOf5Eefe7Aaq_YGYCg&ved=0CAYQ_AUoAQ&dpr=0.9#tbm=isch&q=moses+cartoons&imgdii=_ thoughts? |

If you really wish to support Charlie Hebdo then why not take out a subscription?
|
|
By:
If you don't take out a subscription you might as well be supporting the terrorists.

I agree with 1st time poster - all this nonsense about free speech is doing my head in.
A volunteer with the Red Cross was sacked recently because he voiced an opinion opposing gay marriage. Twitterers (mostly footballers) get fined and banned regularly for voicing an opinion. Journos daren't give certain opinions in case their bosses send them to Outer Mongolia to cover Camel Racing. I agree Paris was about the deaths but the debates since have focused on this mythical 'free speech'. |

What happend to 'bring our girls back'? Its just the usual flavour of the month protests....where it will all be soon forgotten about and relegated down the list of emails, tweets and posts for the next 'newsworthy' item in your inbox. |

I've replied earlier in the thread, but a little ambiguously, so I'd like to emphasise that JE SUIS CHARLIE.
As I understand it, that identifies me as a supporter of free speech and someone who refuses to back down in the face of revolting Muslim extremism. No more, no less. |
