Many people on these boards would laugh about it. But, they are the enlightened ones, they are allowed.

Because it was a cartoon, you assumed it had a humerous purpose? The message (whether you agree with it or not) is rather clear to me. Arafat's passing is not going to change the culture of terrorism in the region - a culture that includes young boys comitting acts of sucidal homicide.

I think it is very clear the cartoon was not intended to be funny.

Hard work, positivity, and long term planning can change this though. Only focusing in on the negative will leave you there. Tools.

If it wasn't for his first post here I'd say that was uncalled for.

But in light of that, I think it totally was.

It is a political cartoon, they are rarely funny as they tend to represent a viewpoint as simply as possible so the average moron can understand it.

I get it, Arafat was a terrorist, he encouraged young children to kill themselves as suicide bombers, facts make facts.

What is with the kids eyebrows? I mean ... he looks like a young Breshnev.

This whole cartoon is confusing.

Actually I was referring to this one:

I don't think it's quite the same to put you in the same boat as Atokal. At least you are more coherent. I disagree with just about everything you say, but I don't go making such generalizations and lumping you with the most extreme tards.

Although I find nothing offensive about this cartoon, 'enlightened' people don't find it funny, people with a sense of humour do. Saying that you, Midnyte, are enlightened is a fucking joke. Smart, calm people don't make rash generalizations, only bigots do.

Enlightened people see the humor in growing up in a world where there are no options or opportunities.

I heard that in light of the Palestinian people not having very many flowers, they had to throw stones at his funeral. Any truth to this? :P
