Seems Russia can do anything it wants without one cry for UN sanctions from the usual bunch of whinning eurogirl hypocrites. Not even an accusation of Russia making a unilateral decisions in securing winter supply of oil. Hmm I wonder if the silence just implies war for oil is acceptable to you?

Once again silence, but this time it's Southpark, something must be done! Yes, yes somebody must do something. Quickly now paste some news articles in protest otherwise next thing you know North Korea might see weakness and start their nuclear weapons production program again.

:p

You are obsessed with "whinning eurogirls" Shockstar.

Southpark viewed as "extremist". Is someone having a laugh in Russia?

Perhaps the Russians are proposing to ban anything that hasn't been funny in the last five years.

For the quoting imparired:


Quote:
"Our complaint is against a lot of cartoons, but this one was from 'South Park' season three, episode 15," he said.
The episode, called "Mr. Hankey's Christmas Classics" on the cartoon's website www.southparkstudios.com, first aired in December, 1999, and features a singing piece of human excrement.
"It's one thing if they are on cable TV and viewers pay money and make a conscious choice. But young children should not be able to turn on the TV after school and watch this. They need to be defended," Bendas said.
I don't care who brought up the problem, I can certainly agree with the sentiment in the last paragraph.

I don't get it. It would be less ironic if he called for children to be run over by busses?

Churches aren't prosecutors. Prosecutors feel that it warrants looking into. Church people may have asked that it be looked at, but the church isn't enforcing anything. Church members are as entitled to complain about anything atheists are aren't they? Or should only the "enlightened non-Christian" be allowed to voice concerns or lack thereof?

Look at what you just said. Are you insinuating that a religious group preaching to children is necessarily harmful? Are you insinuating that religion is necessarily harmful?

Edit : Don't bother answering, I'm pretty sure I know what the answer is already.

I know what you said earlier, my statement was made regarding the following:

Maybe I'm taking the statement too literally, but all I have to go by are the words that were typed.

True. The creators ran out of ideas long ago.
