Canadian cogitations about politics, social issues, and science. Vituperation optional.
Sometimes the Pope makes a error when speaking. We all do. But this was not one of those times and Mr.Deity unabashedly and quite colourfully rips into the perfidious pontiff over his comments about the recent murders in France.
*Strong Language Warning*
I’m not sure what the pope was thinking on this one, but I think rightly he deserves the chastisement Mr.D brings to the table.

God Damned awesome.
Even my well loved John Stewart should watch this since he obviously does not understand that terrorism apologism is not included in free speech in France, because it condones/incites to violence, (which French free speech law, does not allow) when he rolled his eyes at Frances “double standard” by placing the idiot racist sexist Dieudonné in “garde à vue” for being a terrorism apologists.

Except that the Pope didn’t advocate for it, he basically just said that it happens. If you verbally harass someone enough, you shouldn’t be surprised if they turn around and lash out at you.
Even in our society of “free speech”, there are defamation lawsuits. Free speech has its limits.

So, how much harassment gives me carte-blanch to justifiably commit murder?
While I agree that words are powerful and in this case they were being used to further vilify a minority in French society it cannot be used as a justification for violence.
