most people aren’t rational, but assume they are and even less likely to actively try to correct this tragic human flaw.Nevertheless, I really don’t think this is just about someone just trying to piss a group of people off. Besides I am pretty sure there is an american soldier with a big machine gun doing that right now very very far away ( where we don’t have to think about it )

We Pastafarians have been long planning riots and murder against those who have shown graven noodly images. We’ve made a list and one day we’ll strike. Probably not for awhile though. Maybe next month if we’re not super busy and stuff. Actually a bunch of us are vacationing next month, so more likely that month after that I think.

This is probably the most idiotic idea that’s made the frontpage ever. What the hell is wrong with reddit these days?

I’ve read through the first 20 or so comments here and every one is against this idea. So my question is, how the hell does this make it to number 1 on reddit? Something is seriously wrong with reddit these days.

Would someone care to walk me through this?A miniscule group of Muslims made an absurd request to Wikipedia. Wikipedia did not honour the absurd request. What exactly is the news here?When I saw that post yesterday, I kept thinking “So a silly request made by approximately 0.000071% of the Muslim population is now newsworthy???”Had Wikipedia granted their absurd request, it would have been an entirely different matter. As far as I can discern, the request was summarily dismissed. And now we want the Reddit alien dressed up as Mohammed because…

I think too many are missing my point. If your only reason to display Mohamed is to exercise your freedom then you aren’t doing it for a good reason. Exercising your freedom here is only an excuse when the real reason is to piss off people.Now if someone has a funny joke involving Mohamed or art, or anything, no matter how offensive it is they should have the right to display it. But having no other reason but to offend is not opening dialogue. It is only conducive to polarization.Until Musulman’s understand why we find it ridiculous to be so sensitive about the issue we’ll get somewhere. If we just display to piss off they’ll never want to understand our point of view.If you think that you are advancing the progress of human kind by offending you’ve missed the mark. Nothing good comes out of pissing people off, especially when it’s apparent it is only to have a good laugh at someone’s expense.
