08 February 2006, 18:00 Yushchenko slams reprinting of Muhammad cartoons in Ukraine
Kiev, February 8, Interfax - President Viktor Yushchenko has condemned a Ukrainian newspaper for reprinting some of the caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad that have sparked protests by Muslims across the world.
"We regard any publication and any material or action that could insult people's national or religious beliefs as inappropriate and the Ukrainian president condemns any manifestation of intolerance and xenophobia," presidential spokeswoman Iryna Herashchenko told a news conference in Kiev on Wednesday after the paper Syohodni reprinted the cartoons.
Yushchenko was doing his best to achieve religious and interethnic harmony in Ukraine, she said.
Oh come off it you argue against freedom every chance you get. You've argued to repress the speech of minorities, and anyone with contrary views to the president.
And you're making gay porn movies in your basement.
----------------------------------------
I do support the decision to deport Russian nationals who make anti-Ukrainian speeches. Let him go to his Russia and write his hate speech from there - he's not entitled to breathe sweet Ukrainian air. That Russian, Frolov is not a Ukrainian minority, he's a foreigner; and his writings are not anti-Yuschenko but anti-Ukrainian in character.
not sure who that is.
Just another Ukranians who prefered foreigners rule his country.
"We regard any publication and any material or action that could insult people's national or religious beliefs as inappropriate ..."
Oh? Then I take it he feels that national or religious beliefs that promote terrorism and murder of innocents ARE appropriate?
Only one of the articles you listed in #14 lacks the "Ukraine" keyword:
Poland seeking other gas sources amid Russia-Ukraine dispute.
It's generally considered good form to do your own fact checking, and, failing that, to accept correction gracefully when your assertions have been demonstrated as being incorrect.
Then why don't they show up when one does keyword Ukraine as even Lukasz noticed? (attributing only 2 of Lizol's articles to her).
Because Lukasz restricted the sample to the 20 most recent posts (at the time).
Of the 10 posts you listed in #14:
1 doesn't show up if you execute a keyword search for Ukraine, as I pointed out to you
1 is actually amongst those Lukasz tallied
The rest will show up if you simply look further back in time using a search using the keyword "Ukraine", between 11/30/05 and 1/3/06.
Just for sh*ts and giggles, a sort of the last 500 posts under keyword "Ukraine" produces the following tally:
500 posts.
79 unique posters.
jb6 200 posts
lizol 62 posts
twinself 24 posts
mazepa 22 posts
lukasz 21 posts
x5452 19 posts
tailgunner joe 19 posts
leocarpathian 13 posts
spanalot 8 posts
apole 6 posts
sergey1973, garyspfc, & alouette, 5 posts ea.
and 65 statistically insignificant folks with 3 or fewer posts.
So neither "side" of the Ukraine issue has an outright majority, a fairly good picture emerges as to which side has been more active on the issue.
Thanks to UNIX utility programs: grep, sort, & uniq
This is going to go on your permanent record.
WOW.
jb6 with 200 out of 500 posts- every single one a negative.
That's pathological. Goebbels would be proud.
