free speech ain't free Sheriff. every year we get a lecture on what we can and can not say, and the punishment for violating such rules. how many newspapers will not run Doonesbury or any typical controversial cartoon? Good grief Dennis, are things really this bleak in the land of the free ? Is &qu...

I would if I thought we had one worth mentioning.

Dennis, that kind of blind racist generalization is exactly what I'm talking about. Not everybody who lives in the south (like you, for instance) wants a return to slavery or Jim Crow. That's just crass Dennis. What you and LM are saying is that you're all for free speech and expression as long as ...

Having fun Sheriff? :lol: Hi Avatar ! Well, in a gallows humour kind of way - yes. But when you consider what the subject matter is - no, because I don't really find it funny at all. The fact that anyone priveleged enough to live their life in a "democratic" country refuses to question th...

Nice to see that a war which ended 140 years ago is still considered topical.

Dennis, this story is a) Old hat b) Not even the tip of the iceberg Believe me, there is a hell of a lot more coming, despite the best efforts of idiots* all over America to convince the world it's not happening. * IDIOT (n) - An umbrella term used to describe any person who argues semantics over to...

I think you should just keep writing the first thing that comes into your head and post it there. I'd read it - anyone that lives in a pineapple knows what they're doing.

Apart from SpongeBob.

Is there some misunderstanding here ? Perhaps they don't mind prostitutes in teaching positions, but they don't don't want them actually teaching positions ?

The truth must be told.

Does this mean the barcode conspiracy theory was all for nothing ? I can now go shopping without satanic overtones ?

Wow, that's a weight off my mind.

President Bush on Tuesday dismissed a human rights report as "absurd" for its harsh criticism of U.S. treatment of terrorist suspects at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, saying the allegations were made by prisoners "who hate America." "It's an absurd allegation. The United States is ...

“Life itself is essentially appropriation, injury, overpowering of the strange and weaker, suppression, severity, imposition of one’s own forms, incorporation and, at the least and mildest, exploitation,” Well, the Nazis might have tried to destruct-test this theory, but Nietzsche strikes me as bei...

It's terrible. The government is going to have to redo all those barcodes on the backs of our necks.

Oh, I'm not too sure about that Dennis.

I think that such a job would suit him perfectly.

Huh.

This is just you freedom hating liberals being anti-British. If Tony Blair hadn't acted as he had, we'd all have been murdered in our beds by now.

At least he's brave and bold enough to protect us.

God bless Tony !

People aren't wearing enough hats.

Sorry to say, people aren't.

LOL, Iryssa.

In God's so infallible, then what is the aesthetic or indeed practical justification for the design of the human reproductive system ?

Could it be that God just has a nasty sense of humour ?
