So the NFL is picking up the flag on itself?

AGREE. CLASSIC JIA OVERSHARE.

You were and are an essential part of my journey towards womanhood Kate

Well, you put the condom halfway on, then put it the next half of the way, then the next half...and it's like, that damn thing never gets all the way on there!

True story.

This is hilarious and an excellent way of making the point but, even though I know you're kidding, I want to point out that there's no "too big for condoms" but there absolutely is "may be too big for a regular condom to operate at peak effectiveness."

Ugh, no. Yes, condoms can stretch. Similarly, small sized latex gloves can stretch to fit over giant hands, but latex gloves come in multiple sizes. I'd like to see her leave that condom on her leg for 15-20 minutes while rubbing it vigorously and see how long it takes for it to break.

To: all of those saying we should not be praising Hebdo and his organization because they ridiculed already marginalized groups. NO, THEY DID NOT. Their targets were the same as any satirist; tyrants, blowhards, and hypocrites who preach hate instead of following the tenets of their own religion. No peace loving…

Here in America we get offended by the dumb shit people say ALL THE TIME. We get offended by comedians' jokes ALL THE TIME. The issue here is mass murder. I don't know what your news media is reporting, but "no one should have been offended" is not the underlying current here. No one should have been murdered is.

What these terrorists didn't have a right to do is kill innocent people over a cartoon. I don't think you're arguing that they did, so please don't misunderstand me.

What the French Far Right want is to oppress and isolate the Muslims and immigrants (and this gives them the perfect rationale for furthering their cause). And what the Muslim extremists want is for the Muslims to be oppressed and isolated, because that radicalizes the population and turn them into eager Al-Qaeda…

Juan Cole— most famous for being correct about pretty much everything during the Bush administration's persecution of the Iraq War— suspects that this is far less about satire or the press than it is about simply setting French Muslims against French non-Muslims.

ugh making a cartoon is not "hateful". if you are that emotionally affected by something as insignificant a cartoon, you haven't matured since the age of 2. or you never even bothered to look at them in the first place, and are completely ignorant about the issue, which is more likely.

Do you really want to live in a society where there are sacred cows that can never be mocked?

I think Ross Douthat, of all people, actually had the best response to this:

You should read about what Charlie Hebdo actually wrote and drew. They satirized all religions and in fact, their latest cover was a satire on an anti-Islamic book written by a Frenchman.

Get out.

Here's a few more options for the press;
