What would Sigmund Freud say?

I know exactly what he would say. He would say that even a cake is just a cake. Just because this guy made a video about a video game and posted it to a gaming forum, doesn't make him guilty of terrorism. Geez, people have been making videos of games for some time now, why is this any different? If it's the format of the game, then it's not a problem. It's not his fault that it ended up on militant websites. bush and the neo-con republicans need to get their collective heads out of their collective ---es (Note all lower case, a sign of extreme disrespect for the groups mentioned).

not far enough

Sadly the stupidity of many muslims seems trumped only by the stupidity of US congressional delegates.

Surely all weapons manufactures must be terrorists, and why stop there, all clothing manufactures, even water suppliers are terrorists/terrorist supporters, because these are all tools used by terrorists.
Oops wait, so is the US government because they supplied many of these groups with weapons and support through the years.
Heck, according to the recent commercials, I'm a terrorist because I smoked a little reefer along the way... except I recommend killing all muslims, so maybe I'm a good terrorist?
Nah, I say kill everybody. Nobody is innocent. The world will be a better place without people.
Excuse me, I hear the feds knocking at the door, gotta run.
