If you watch the news you're aware of the events taking place in the middle east reguarding violent protests against anti-Muslim danish Cartoons. Most people will tell you that violence is obviously not the answer, but the issue at hand here is... Do you think that the rights of free speech should be curbed so it does not offend a religion?

There are people who take it a little to literally. During WWI & II you really couldnt speak out against the government and protest to stop drafting and joining the army. And I agree that its pretty horrible that there are people who would say stuff like that. But there also comes a point in time where anything anybody says its going to offend someone, and the fact of the matter is that people gotta get over it. If you sit and get offended by such things as a cartoon, then you really need to open a window and chill out. Its a fuggin cartoon - its the whole society over there that takes religion way to seriously and to the extreme. IMO religion is a FAR worse culprit of causing deaths than free speech.
