On A Serious Note...

...poking fun at the Middle East and/or insulting the Islamic people is like poking at a hornets nest!  If you know a people will sting back, and in this case, causing innocent lives to be taken, DON'T DO IT!  I don't care if the Constitution gives us free speech, we should be thoughtful in what we say, post to the internet, etc.  It saddens me that innocent lives are being lost right now because people see the need to take pokes at other groups of people, KNOWING they will be offended!  We need to look more towards living in harmony...where we don't necessarily have to agree, but we can agree to disagree on certain things and move on!  Bottom line, there are different religions in this world...different systems of belief...and this is an area that is very sensitive, so maybe it is something we need to back off on.  Otherwise, at some point, there won't be any of us left here to argue about it, and we will all know who was right all along, if you catch my drift!
