Yeah, you Americans ... You can burn your flag without hesitation, but not We ... Not because We can't, but because We won't ... think about that.
That is just a nonsensical statement... You can burn your flag if you want to. Nobody is going to come knocking on your door and arrest you or gun you down. Therefore your argument is invalid.

As for Freedom of Speech / Expression: In reality it's just a constitutional illusion of this Freedom.
Please elaborate on what you mean. You have a habit of not explaining things.

And yes, yes you can have respect for something you make fun of.

I can't agree with this ... not in this case.
What they (Hebdo and others) did was stupid and irresponsible - there was no point in doing this. Moreover, it has nothing to do with Freedom of Speech / Expression, it was nothing but provocation ... Stupid provocation, because is not like nobody know what is Jihad and can not predict their reaction to such humiliation ...
There is something more important like RESPECT and Freedom of Speech / Expression shouldn't cross its thin line. How you can expect from Muslims to respect Christians when Christians don't respect Muslims.
... Each stick has two ends ...
If you can't understand that, I can't help you - nobody can.
... or maybe ... Make a caricature of Queen Elizabeth II in 'compromising' position - the British will show you very quickly the boundaries of your Freedom of Speech / Expression.
I disagree with your conclusion. It's not like the magazine only made fun of Islam. Sure the images could be seen as provocation, and they're definitely stupid, but that's what freedom of speech is about. The ability to say something or make fun of something without being punished for it. They're free to express their stupidity if they want to. Why can't something be provocative and an expression of free speech at the same time?
 Also I've never heard of Britain punishing anyone for their depiction of the queen, nor would I expect armed British gunmen to murder civilians in retaliation.. At least here in the US I could make any picture of Obama I wanted and I'd be completely safe from prosecution by the US government. Nobody, the government or the people, would care. At least not enough to murder me. I'm assuming England is just as free. Is that incorrect?

Clan Recruitment / ^this.is.a.recruitment.topic
« on: Monday, January 12, 2015, 18:57:16 PM »
We Want You!
Who are we? We are ^this.is. The most respected people in all of America's Army.
http://battletracker.com/clanstats/aao/30627/

With an astonishing collective FR over 0.80, ^this.is is the happening place for any amazing AA player that feels their name would look cooler with ^this.is at the beginning. Every AA player will envy you. Every AA player will want to be you. And every girl will want to be with you. ^this.is membership also looks good on a job application as we have members all around the world.

What Benefits Do You Have?
Well the benefit ^this.is has over other clans is that they're real clans and we are not. ^this.is is more of a loose group of people playing AA. Do you hate us? No problem! You have no obligations to play or even associate with us. Also, are you tired of people asking you who you are? Having ^this.is at the front of your name removes all doubts of who you are.


Your Group Is Sexy, But I Don't Want To Leave My Current Clan, What Do I Do?
Don't worry friend! Since we're not a real clan you can stay in your current clan and represent ^this.is on a different account.


But I Want Strict Clan Rules and Meetings and Strict Requirements To Join!
Well then ^this.is is not for you. We pride ourselves on not being serious... at all. Not a l337 pro sound camper? Neither are we! Our clan philosophy is that an "accidental" RPG to the face of your teammate is a much better feat than killing the enemy.


Can I Just Play Pipeline And SF Hospital Over And Over Again Forever Until I Die Of Old Age?
Of course you can! We don't enforce any rules upon our members. You can play whatever shitty maps you'd like!


Who Is Currently In ^this.is?
Some of our illustrious members include:
Spanky
KiLLaMaN
-Nick!
Zork
t3ddy
amzer
ganja
Ronald Reagan
Jesus Christ
Rudy Giuliani
The Philly Phanatic
The Burger King
That guy from the Verizon "Can you hear me now?" commercials
and last of all... YOU!

Clan Requirements
Must be a human (exceptions are made for AA yetis)
Must Play America's Army 2 at least once a century
Must not be Communist or a Communist sympathizer
Must pay Spanky a joining fee of $2,000 USD (waived due to this special AAO25 offer!)


So what are you waiting for?

Hello,That last line speaks volumes.

Do you even understand the principals of Free Speech and Freedom of Expression?

He's trolling, just ignore him.

They've paid the price for their pseudo Freedom of speech.
The cops that faced the terrorists were UNARMED.
Who to blame, the terrorists or France? Sure is France imo, they let those guys live there, they let cops choose not to work with guns, wich for me is ridiculous.

Please tell me this is a fucking joke. Please...
I don't think I've ever seen victim blaming this extreme...

Just because the news obsesses over brown-on-white violence doesn't mean it's the most common. What about Boko Haram killing thousands this week? Nobody cares? More concern over a handful of racist French cartoonists? Only American and European lives matter?

*EDIT*

This thread reminds me of the DRAAT forums
You're talking about people being on a high horse earlier yet you come in here believing you're better than us just because we're talking about an act of terrorism that happened in a country that doesn't normally get terror attacks?

You know damn well why it's getting more coverage. Or maybe you're just ignorant, so I'll explain it to you. Europe and the United States are not used to this kind of violence. Africa has been experiencing that kind of violence for a long time. Yes it's worse, yes, it's tragic, but it doesn't have the shock factor because it's been happening for so long. It's the same reason why police killings here in the U.S. get more coverage than the numerous killings in, say, Chicago. Yeah, a hell of a lot more murders happen in the slums of Chicago than police shooting people, but police shootings are much more rare, thus it gets more attention. I'd also like to add that people are more concerned when trouble is much closer to them. Africa is far away, both physically and socially. but a developed nation like France? It's much closer to home than Africa. We can identify with the French much more than with those in Africa.  It may not be fair, but that's the way the world works.
This is not necessarily a bad thing either. If we were to mourn ever loss of life equally, we'd all be emotional wrecks unable to live our lives. So in the words you used earlier, get off your high horse. We're just talking about the attack, you didn't need to turn this into a human psychology discussion. The only person trying to turn this into a draat style flame war is you. Just let people mourn this attack and move on.

Sure is easy to blame religion from your atheist high horses. Some nutjobs are murderers, no reason to generalize an entire religion. Over a thousand people murdered every day and only a few get hours of news coverage and debate. Islamaphobia is bad.

Hello everyone I decided to log in
Most murders aren't a miltary style hit on a specific group of people they are not related to. Most murders are crimes of passion committed by someone they know. This is an unusual circumstance, thus the media coverage. Not often do entire buildings get attack by AK47 wielding terrorists.
Also, it's stupid to suggest the religion isn't partially to blame. So it just so happens that all these militant attacks are carried out by Muslims? That's just some gigantic coincidence? Please. I get that most Muslims aren't like that, but to take religion out of the equation is ridiculous and irresponsible. Of course the religion isn't entirely to blame, most of the blame is still on the people. However, they all claim they're doing it for their religion. How exactly is their religion not involved?

Tragic news. Unfortunately there is no end in sight for such attacks as these. How do you punish those that are willing to die for their ideals? What do you do? Throw them in jail to let them preach their shit to other people? Give them their wish and kill them? We have no deterrent.

Feedback & Suggestions / Re: Notorious tk-ers should be banned
« on: Thursday, January 01, 2015, 21:21:15 PM »
sure - that's up to you guys

I just thought I mention it, cause he really pissed me off last night killing my teammate tuppipaa on purpose numerous times and when I complained he shot me too.I just left then cause he ruined the whole nice game we had with his childish tk behaviour.

Then I checked his account and came up with the above.
And his tks are not an occasional spastic fit or whatever - he is doing it all the time - I know that type - trying to educate the other players or they want their weapon or they just do it cause they always do it.

Just think if it becomes a habit to tk it should be punished somehow or he should be reprimanded in some way .
Maybe like a 3 weeks ban or something - idk - at the end of the day he sits there with his shitty ROE and the reputation he gains from it.
(like the map stat from bridge says - Zero popularity)

Lord-of-War  :style:
While we don't like to get involved in these types of situations, we do, and have before on several occasions, give out temporary Assist bans for excessive intentional team killing. The thing is, we need proof of it happening. Like a screenshot of the player team killing a bunch of people multiple times.
So if you ever see him tking a bunch of people for no reason, get some screenshots or take a video. Without evidence there isn't much we can do.

Anti-Cheat / Re: pls fix these some BUG?s
« on: Monday, December 29, 2014, 10:58:35 AM »
It's not even a bug, it's just how the game works. Sometimes when you're prone on a ledge higher than someone else, you may be invisible to them. It happens on other maps as well, not just Hospital. It's unfixable from a technical standpoint. We could change the map to make it not happen there, but Spanky already tried that by putting a railing and everyone freaked out.

Honor Claims / Re: I need help to recover my old account
« on: Friday, December 26, 2014, 22:33:37 PM »
I wish we could help, but like Bollie said, we have no control over BT and thus cannot control anything account related aside from honor.  You could try making a topic over on battletracker but their admins are inactive for the most part. Sorry.
