@BodilyWaste "something can actually be done about it"???? like wat? making such comments ILLEGAL? taking away our freedom of speech? i pray that most sikhs would not give up the freedom of speech so lightly

@proudtobedesi thnaks man, you are a very intelligent person. i won't get a bad impression. your awesome :P

[proudtobedesi]

@ElementHDMac hey there no need to get too riled up about this issue man. i'm an american too and my parents are indian not sikh though), and i think that jay leno should not bend over to these radical sikhs who are no different from radical islamists who kill people over a picture of their prophet. i apologize on behalft of these dumb indians or sikhs who don't understand that free speech is a sacred and protected right here in america endowed by our constitution.

@BodilyWaste go whine and cry about it but nobody is going to sign your dumb petition. this is america, where free speech is a protected and sacred right endowed by our constitution. jay leno should not bend over to these sikh fanatics who are not different than the radical islamist terrorists who kill people over a drawing of their prophet.

india needs to get over itself, get a fucking grip! it is a joke not an attack. shouldnt even make the news.

[BodilyWaste]

Being Sikh, I dont think people who have been aggrevated by this should stoop to his level and swear or use the term "white men" because really it's not gonna be read by Jay Leno neitheer is anything going to get done about it..instead it could spark off more feuds! Instead sign the petition so something can actually be done about it.

@ElementHDMac And I really hate you. Even Jesus, GOD'S SON (Yeah, remember him) said to love one another. Even if the other sins or is wrong. Jesus is love and healing not hate and healing. Please stop you are hurting people's feelings by the way you are insulting them. You are disgusting and there's a special place in Hell with your name on it.
