QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jan 8, 2015 -> 07:54 AM) Don't forget about the police officers that lost their lives trying to save him too. Freedom of speech is great, the terrorists are awful, awful people, but I still just have a hard time justifying the point in publishing these cartoons. Sitting in your cozy Paris office thinking you are invincible and can go toe-to-toe with the terrorists, well they won and 11 others are gone. There are ways to fight terrorism, but taunting them by blaspheming their god in a way that also offends some peaceful Muslims doesn't seem the way to go about it. I find it odd that you are conflating or assuming that they felt they were fighting terrorism. They were exhibiting their right to satire in a nation full of it. There is also no one "group" that is attacking them, so saying they knew a freight train is coming is strange. Lastly, I disagree that the terrorists won. Russia wouldn't start a war with the US over an editorial cartoon showing Putin doing a bear, because they have real power. This group is lashing out violently because they have no real power and they will just do whatever.

QUOTE (shipps @ Jan 8, 2015 -> 11:55 AM) Wow this would shock me if it happened. After all the talk and rumblings it seemed for sure Ballard was the guy. No offense to Gage, but that doesn't sound like a rock solid source.

He looks like he looked in olympic play.

QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ Jan 8, 2015 -> 08:21 AM) Not overreacting cause of the no show yesterday by the team, but Rose struggles seem more than just a "funk". His shooting mechanics look pretty crappy, half the time he leans forward and honestly still looks hesitant as hell coming down. Also...what happened to the floater?

Uh, no the victims are the 12 murdered over a cartoon.

I don't think the AP is concerned about being nice, they are concerned that someone they employ could die. That's not a risk that 95% of magazines or newspapers face. The Daily Picayune could post something terrible about Mohammed tomorrow and be fine.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jan 7, 2015 -> 05:02 PM) But no one can say this anymore. It's all incredibly rare, but anyone can be a target. Running in a marathon can make you a target. Drawing a cartoon can make you a target. And if the AP (and others) had balls to begin with, this wouldn't be a problem. People could choose to work at an organization like that and "risk" an attack. That's still not an excuse to abandon your principles because of fear. No one is abandoning their principles. You are hysterical. A bunch of courageous journalists in france were gunned down today, and a bunch of Americans freak out about how they are going to die in a terrorist attack. Something bad happened to some good people, acting like this is a turning point in a war gives them way more power than they have.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jan 7, 2015 -> 04:50 PM) No, see that's the complete wrong way to look at it. The fact that the AP and other publications go along with that censorship nonsense is a factor here. It narrowed the pool of potential targets to this paper, a repeat "offender." If every publication said "f*** it, we don't care if .000001% of the global population gets offended by this publication," terrorists wouldn't know who to attack. edit: and the fact that certain publications are censoring the cartoons that caused this is beyond pathetic. It's admirable to take a stand that puts your own life in danger. I find it a harder decision if your stand puts another person's life in danger. Those at Charlie Hebdu were there for a reason, AP is just different. Yeah, it would be cool if a bunch of papers colluded, but, it's pretty easy when you are 100% certain nothing will happen to you to do it.

Kind of surprised that 1-5 and 15-30 is a thing.

I'm so glad people like Charlie Hebdu stand up for free speech in true circumstances of courage, where violence is actively charged and carried out against them. But give AP some slack. It's really hard to do what Charlie Hebdu and the people that work there do, AP has thousands of employees all over globe who may get attacked. They have skin in the game, nobody is going to come after soxbadger for putting up the image on a chicago baseball message board. That said, there is a really wrong thing to do, and it's blame Charlie Hebdu for provoking. The fault is those that respond to speech with violence.

I don't know, I think anyone that advocates drafting this piece of s*** is crazy. He'll be out of the league in 3 years.

18 interceptions in a college year is really bad.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jan 7, 2015 -> 10:51 AM) Is that IT jr. Yeah, and obviously a foul was called, but still hilarious.

Phoenix is mustwatch again, I guess.

Also, I've really enjoyed Tom Rachman's last two novels. Just finished "The Rise and Fall of Great Powers" a few weeks ago. Not a hard read and fun to get through. I rec.
