Please pardon my bad language, but i'm just trying to illustrate a point.
We used to cover this in self defense classes....the psychology of a confrontation. Often before a fight starts, some guys will initiate verbal sparring. They will say stuff like I "slept" with your mother last night. Most guys will fly off the handle at hearing that....when if you think about it, it is absurd...I mean you KNOW it didn't happen....he is just saying it to get a rise out of you....it will succeed IF you let it.
Now back to offensive cartoons.....would I LIKE you draw offensive cartoons of my family? probably not....is the answer to ban all offensive cartoons? If you answer yes, then you just opened up a whole can of worms like what is offensive? who gets to decide? etc....
That's my point Speed...you cannot expect mature behavior from everyone all the time, but to let a few @$$hats ruin it for all by allowing censorship is not acceptable either!
Stay safe.
Perfection does not exist. The question therefore, is: what level of imperfection are we willing to settle for?
