Common sense is subjective.
It may not be ok to draw outrageous pictures, but that doesn't mean it should be illegal, or make you subject to vigilante attacks. Saying sick and obnoxious things on Twitter is not ok. But unless it's an incitement to commit acts of violence or other crimes it should not be a police matter. However the police are spending more and more time investigating and charging Twitter trolls. It's pathetic.

The BBC prosecutes 180,000 people each year who have avoided paying the £140 fee
But the HMRC only prosecuted one (of @ 10,000 ) Swedish HSBC customer who avoided paying £1,000s of income tax
And the BBC is about to get even greater powers than HMRC

It really is ok to draw pictures of anything.
Especially the outrageous ones, in fact.
Don't give them a motherfucking inch.

I'm famous on here for not being clever: I'm the token dumb blonde.
B3ta is all about outrageous pictures. We pick on anyone and everyone. My most infamous picture on here is in extraordinary bad taste. Are you saying we should only take the piss out of your designated targets?

Whats the point in poking fun out of people, in words or drawings. What does that achieve?

I'll take your first point first.
I think we can poke fun at anyone. As long as we can take the verbal backlash that might ensue. I worked for years with disabled people, you wouldn't believe the gallows humour I witnessed.
2nd point. Poking fun at religion is far more easy to justify, because it is so obviously bollocks. The koran for instance, is the written word of god, as told to Mohammed. Slight problem, Mohammed was illiterate. Why god picked him is a mystery. So he told his mates, who told their mates and eventually the News Of The World serialised it in very accurate Sunday specials as they still do to this day......
And the same goes for the rest. The Sunday Sport existed as a legitimate publication. It broke no laws. But I think we can agree was complete bollocks.
I reserve the right to take the piss out of the Sunday Sport as much as I take the piss out of the Bible.
