Free Speech is Offensive*

I hope I can make this the last video I do on a topic that has become more drama than substance. Yes, some people hate Thunderf00t, some people love him, but more importantly, I want people to know that my position on Draw Mohammed Day, is the following:
1. The only way to protest a prohibition on images of Mohammed that makes sense to me is displaying images of Mohammed. Diluting this message seems counter-productive.
2. Offensive speech is the only kind of speech that needs defending. Inoffensive speech has never been under attack.
3. I don't agree with everything that Thunderf00t has said or done on this topic, but our goals and principles are the same.
4. Free speech serves the cause of moderate Muslims and religious tolerance. It is censorship that allows for manipulation of the narrative.

This is largely in response to bryantulsa and DLandonCole, both of whom I respect. I'm happy to engage with anyone who wants me to clarify my actions, or wishes to convince me of the folly of my ways. We have the luxury of open discussion.

@gogolplex74 "But, when they attack christians or muslims they call it freedom of speech???!!!"

That's because christians and muslims are absurd aberrations, not counted among other decent societal participants.

@KeyMaster45 What? You can actually hear MY voice as you read my comments???.. If a strangers written words are audible to you, especially if that person who wrote it is not present to read it to you either; I'd seek some mental help for that quick. Just sayin'!

@xoticLezPride Africa and South America are continents not countries you dip-shit.

OT: Good lord you're boring as shit to listen to. Put some fucking inflection in your voice and talk above a god damned whisper. It's like listening to a mouth breathing, basement dwelling Ben Stein.

I know this is really irrelevant for the message of this video, however just for clarification. I noticed that Denmark is placed among the secular countries on the world map at 2:13, if you define secular as meaning that there is a separation between state and religion, Denmark is not a secular country. We have a state religion and it plays an active role in our government though the Church Ministry (kirkeministeriet).
