Exactly.

If you've missed that point, then perhaps you really should not be posting your, so called, 'satire' here.

How does it make that point. All I see are people burning a flag that isn't even the american one.

It is displaying hatered toward a people, not on a policy, just pure hate, like your no french picture. And if you don't think that is the american one, your ethir a ultra-prefectionist or just in denial, you know that is the american flag, or atlest what the flag burners were going for.

It makes the point by mirroring what you are doing, displaying raw hate in this case, you did it against france, now that picture is doing it against america, it does not mean i agree with burning the american flag, or any flag for that matter, it just proves the point.

Its a flag. I don't know how that shows pure hatred. I may not agree with what you have to say, nor will i die for your right to say it, but Its your perogative. besides Americans did that all the time in the sixties. Now killing people is a good way to show hate, flags are fabric with designs, I have a 3,000$ armoni suit that if burnt would affect me more

[unPerson1]

Now i commend bill on his hillarious post. It is an image of a flag burning, and it shows how idiotic the enimies of America are, they don't even know what our flag looks like, nor how many states we have. That was indeed quite witty.

It's the thought that counts.

[MB.]

Honestly, CWAS, who do you think you're fooling here?

Your concept of satire is blind hatred. It's that clear.

And annoying.

So that makes me anti american, anti left, anti right, anti arab anti everything. I'm the only poster who has the gall to satirize his own beliefs and people he likes. So who has the definition of satire wrong???
Your concept of satire....
is like saying

your taste in music... is satanic
your taste in clothes...are gay
your concept of sex...is wrong.

The "No French" picture was showing hatered toward the french, like the burning american flag was showing hate toward the americans, if you can;t understand that i can't help you.

But it probably still offends you, right?

This is all for me tonight.

Then criticizm of bush is anti american, because he is the leader, and fights for the rights of minorites.

Offend me? I'm a civil Libertarian. I'll defend the right for the klan to shout from the rooftops like anyone else and i'm a minority. Its called being secure and if it bothers you ignore it.

So, CWAS, does this constitute satire? I mean I know some people find it funny. And it represents the same things as a French flag with a cross through it.

[MB.]

I was actaully considering posting that- however, since a few people have it in their signatures I thought I'd choose a slightly less... popularised image, if you will.

[Yeddi]

Everyone is going to calm down right now, and if they don't i will become Father Time and end the week early.

[Bricktop]

End the week early. This is a fucking joke.

The Satire forum was bad enough before hand, but now to see maybe one good image, we have to cycle through dozens of crap posted by CWAS and TRP. And then there are already heaps of arguments. This is tragic.

You've got my vote for killing this forum.

I said before I support the Satire forum... I guess I stand corrected (I should have listened to Freedom ), I support the "idea" of a Satire forum.

It's seems with only one exception, no one really knows how NOT to take satire seriously unless it coincides with their own biased political leanings. I personally find all Anti-American comments and Anti-Bush jokes to be offensive and stupidly assine, but I NEVER throw a fit and complain about them and start pointless flame wars over them. THEY ARE FLIPPIN JOKES!!! Some of you need to get over yourselves or simply quit visiting this forum.

That or pick up a dictionary and re-read what the defintion of satire is...wait lemme help:

Yourdictionary.com defines Satire as:

1a. A literary work in which human vice or folly is attacked through irony, derision, or wit.
1b. The branch of literature constituting such works. See Synonyms at caricature.
2. Irony, sarcasm, or caustic wit used to attack or expose folly, vice, or stupidity.

So Jesus Christ you all need to Mature up or post something you think is funny or simply shut the fuck up.

Sheeeeez what a bunsh of bullshit about ABSOLUTELY FLIPPIN NOTHING!

If no one is mature enough (and this most definately is a question of maturity) to ignore the cartoons that don't appeal to them, yet in turn continues to post cartoons that will offend others, than clearly a double standard exists that won't be rectified unless you all cut it out or this forum goes away due to incompetant (in terms of grasping Satire) users.

[Adrien]

ok christ. Some of your images should be deleted. Maybe Adrien and I should moderate this forum.

When even TAL (I can't say TRP anymore with the new one!) says something like that, you know that somebody went too far!

Anyways, here it is CWAS that is polluting the Satire forum. We have to limit ourselves to three (maybe even two?) cartoons a day *max* to keep the forum and the weekly posts clearer and prevent people like him to just flood the forum with everything they find. When you post a cartoon in the Satire forum, you're supposed to make a point on something, to put an idea forward, which implies that you chose your cartoons with "care". And not that you posted every single crappy picture you found!

Of course CWAS is likely not to respect this rule, so we might have to enforce it through a moderator. But we're adults for Lenin's sake, we should be able to do it ourselves.

If it suits your taste, then yes.

[sokath]

Alright, first of all Christ, you've posted half of the images in this thread before. Second, most of them are merely hate-mongering towards the French and Muslims. I don't care if you want to try and seperate the "Islamists" from the other Muslims, the images you have posted here are blatantly offensive to all Muslims. And don't even let me get started on your French images.

Finally, the images you're posting are not even satire, they're just doctored images made by American fundies. TAL may post images from strangecosmos or that holy burger site, but at least he has the common decency to post images that are actually satirical in nature. Use your Yale-educated head.

Any more of the crap you've been posting here will be deleted without notice.

edit: I don't care if you want to poke fun at French foreign policy, or Chirac, something else. But to mock the French as a people is entirely inappropritate. By the same token, in the interests of fairness, I will also be cracking down on any derisive or bad-taste "satire" directed towards other groups.
