here is a letter from BBC's "Have Your Say" on this topic:

---------------
Here's a thought!

Can someone in The West please find one million teddy bears, attach "Mohammed" name tags around their necks and then drop the furry little playthings out of a aeroplane over the Sudan?

craig, amsterdam

I'm pretty sure that someone could make a quick buck by selling teddy bears with Mohammed names embroidered on them.

You're all looking at the story through the lens of your own culture. It's human nature for all people to use such lenses, but it's important for us to recognize that they are inevitably myopic.



Yeah!

I mean, at least they didn't stone her to death.

(Let's keep that bar reallllll low)



hmm...guess I gave them too much credit. Given a chance they will kill her.

In light of the recent horror at Virginia Tech in the US, there’s been a lot of talk about whether or not we should arm bears. The second amendment to the US Constitution specifically states

“A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free Bear, the right of the People to keep and arm bears shall not be infringed.”

And those two short lines, my friends, are what is causing all this bother.

There are two main groups in the bear community, one of whom is vehemently pro-arming themselves, while the other suggests that the US government should take far more involvement in the regulation of bears’ arms. A third, minor faction supports the notion that bare-armed bears who bear arms must arm bears only in extreme situations requiring the use of deadly force (for example, when the bear community is at war), but their voice is often lost in this fiercely-contested debate.

There is no doubt that bear-related violence is highly prevalent in US culture. Movies such as Brother Bear, where an unarmed bear is brutally murdered by vicious Native Americans, and television series’ such as Grizzly Adams, where unarmed grizzly bear Ben often had no defence save his sheer bulk when confronting grizzled old 1890’s prospectors, have popularised the notion that weaponless bears are defenceless against the cruel hand of man.

However, there are those who think arming bears would be a step in the wrong direction. In an oft-referenced episode of The Simpsons, Homer claims to be “sick of these constant bear attacks”. With unprovoked bear attacks at an all-time high, is now really the time to provide them with high-powered semi-automatic weapons? And what do the bears themselves think? I took to the streets to find out.

“Bears are dying, man. We’re on the way out. Everywhere we look, we’re being killed off. The only way we can fight through it is if we’re equipped with double-action .45 ACP semi-automatic pistols”, an anonymous immigrant bear from Peru (now living in Compton Forest on the outskirts of LA), told me today. When I challenged his view by saying that arming bears may only exacerbate an already difficult situation, the bear, who asked to be referred to only as “Paddington”, dismissed me with a swipe of his paw. “Pshaw, no way man. Read the second amendment. God wants us to have guns, man. On the streets of these woods, it’s kill or be killed. If you ain’t packin, you’ll be six feet under in an enormous, bear-shaped coffin. Straight up, bear.”

“Paddington” may have a point. After recent events in the Hundred-Acre Wood, where well-known homosexual bear Winnie the Pooh was found murdered by erstwhile lover Christopher Robin after a falling-out, investigators at the scene of the crime confirmed that had Pooh been brandishing a Glock 9mm instead of a bowl of delicious sweet honey, he may never have been killed. As it was, Christopher Robin escaped with third-degree stickiness over 30% of his body, while Pooh ended up in a pine box.

There are no easy answers, but one thing is clear: the bears have a voice, and they’re damn well going to use it. Watch out, America.

Edit to add, I copied and posted this from something i found on this sick web. Damn, is this funny. Although, the bears may think other wise, beware of bears baring arms. If bearing beer be very cautious as bears with beer can't bear to part with there so loved beer.

A moderate Sudanese cleric yesterday attempted to defuse the controversy by suggesting that the school simply re-name the bear 'Pooh'.

He was promptly stoned to death when it was pointed out that Pooh's best friend was called Piglet.
Do you want to have an ideagasm?
