Patrick Chappatte: The power of cartoons
wie Sie tun, machen, Film, Beispiel
http://www.ted.com In a series of witty punchlines, Swiss editiorial cartoonist Patrick Chappatte makes a poignant case for the power of the humble cartoon. His projects in Lebanon, West Africa and Gaza show how, in the right hands, the pencil can illuminate serious issues and bring the most unlikely people together.

These things were done by people that are visitors to other's lands to their hosts. Also remember that the Crusades were a defensive action. Muslims had been pushing on the borders of Christendom for hundreds of years before Christians finally hit back.

I don't think I'm superior to everybody, but I still don't like being mocked. The error was that the person who mocked, mocked people that aren't too interested in tolerance. Also, this was done in a setting where white people continuously harass and rape their homelands (the Middle East). The insults were against by white people against the thing that they hold most sacred, so the anger generated was incredible

@crudhousefull Thanks. Tu quoque.

@steve0281 I've lived for years in these countries. Takes a little time to know people (and faiths). Anyway, at least this was a civil discourse lol. Best of luck with whatever you're working on right now
-
@crudhousefull In a word? Yes. I do not like/endorse/approve of what the US has been doing all over the planet. There is a plan in action here and if you don't like it you need to become educated on it so that you know what you're dealing with. I lived in Saudi Arabia and I have visited Egypt. They are charming, handsome peoples. Despite Islam.
-
@steve0281 So armed people abusing natives in another country (where there's armed men there is always abuse), is equated to Islam in the west. I'm Asian and most Asians can't believe how horrible US actions are around the world. We are behind the Muslims 100%. Everyone has the right to defend their motherland. I've lived in Egypt, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Malaysia. All peaceful great people
-
@crudhousefull Well, if you understand the concepts of Dar al-Islam and Dar al-Harb there exist the idea that Islam is ALWAYS under attack. Do I want US troops in Islamic countries? No. At the same time I don't want Islam in the West.
-
@steve0281 You are misinformed bro. According to sharia violence is only permitted when you are under attack. If US troops were out of the Middle East (mostly Muslim countries), the west would have no problems with the Muslims. I'm a Buddhist Sri Lankan btw
-
@crudhousefull It isn't, but that isn't the case here. The Qu'ran teaches that Muslims are superior to everyone else on the planet. According to Sharia violence against unbelievers is justified. I don't like being mocked, either. Unless I am assaulted I am not going to resort to force of any type.
-
@steve0281 Why is not wanting to be mocked equated to superiority? I don't consider myself superior to anyone, but I hate being humiliated and I hate it when my belief system is subjugated to mockery

Anything can be used as a weapon, I can stab somebody with a pencil

0:52 anyone else notice that there is a bubble in that picture with a funny line? For some reason it shows up there but not in the image we see in the beginning.

There's ham in hamburgers!?

It makes me consider that it takes a sophisticated society to even be rational
-
@Darvinisti haha ur gonna use some 5 year old retort on me: "I know the answer, but I'm not gonna tell you?" When you're beat you're beat man, you can mask it as long as you want but it's a clear contradiction. If you can't see it you're just stupid, sorry... nothing more to say.
-
This talk comes perilously close to being a stand-up routine, but like the best TEDtalks, it offers a startling simple and elegant solution.
-
Ideas and concepts should be made free, however, the means of applying those can be used for monetary stability. Islam was the catalyst to the violence but not the cause. Music copyright laws are in good shape as they are with the invention of the internet; this being because there IS no middle man. People pay for things they want to see more of, ie good software, because they know if they pirate it they lose that opportunity for more. So that sums up all the arguments stop calling others stupid
-
@willowtreephoto okay, hello, i didn't say anything against good science. I was replying to the above, guy, who stated that scientists work for free. Science journals are great sources, but not complete, knowledge should be "open source" not locked up by special interests for $. agreed?
-
@chessfan6 At least you are amusing. If you really cant figure out what is wrong with your reasoning then present that argument to the wisest person you know. Or present it to the forum where you are the most active and see if they can teach you a bit. :) Then tell me if you got embarrassed.
-
@Lily2U1515 most scientists. Peer-Reviewed Scientific journals, you can get at them if you try. they are where good science comes from.
