It seems we're doing a lot of segregating lately to me but maybe I'm mistaken. Do you think it will ever get to the point of something similar to apartheid? Or have we risen above that type of thing?

I was just wondering if a website or forum that calls for the killings of a certian group of people can be shut down?
Lets say for example its a British forum online where British citizens around the world log in and can post articles, and it so happens that some users do call for killings of a certian number of British people etc, how would one go about reporting this or would it be even worth it? Could law enforcement track down the ip address and the owner of the site and compel him to clean up messages and arrest the writers of such inflammatory writings??????????

Someone please RSVP ASAP.

I'm talking about holocaust denial bans, or anti-Klan or anti-Nazi laws.

These laws are usually sold as being against racists, but usually end up being used against the left.

In the U.S., laws against marching in political marches wearing masks were SUPPOSED to be against the KKK, but were NEVER enforced until the 1980s, when Salvadoran refugees, demonstrating in Washington DC, wore masks to protect their families against the U.S.-supported secret police in El Salvador.

Shouldn't we forget about passing such laws, and just have decent people gather around racists when these vermin appear in public, and out-shout or overpower them?

I am very afraid of giving the government the power to censor politics.

However, I have no problem with decent people cleaning the streets of this garbage.

Seriously, whether you like him or not I find it stifling to have to see 50-60% of the questions in here about Ron Paul. It has definitely caused me to slow my use of YA dramatically. Have you had the same reaction?

It will be interesting to see the Paul supporters on this.

I was wondering cause this person I was suppose to wire the money to in Nigeria had the money wired to me which he owed it to me for work I did for him here in the states. He has been harashing me about it and now I am getting these e-mails from this FBI agent and all that is stated in his email is BBU under his name. The agent is claiming I received the money fraudulantly which I did not.

My dad is half mexican half Native American. So I was at work giving orders in Spanish because my co workers are mostly illegal. Anyways this Mexican that knew English was like damn you speak Spanish pretty well. I was like yeah my Grandma is Mexican. He's all what does tht mean? I said it means that I'm 1/4 Mexican. He's replied that's not enough. I was shocked I said last time I checked this was America. What's up with this racist fool? Should he be deported?

My stepson is with his mother's current motherinlaw (not with my motherinlaw) witch is my husband’s son. My stepson's mother is drug addiction. When they went to pick him & his baby sister up (her new baby with her current boyfriend) they ask her whom she wanted the child to stay with & she said her current mother in law. I don't understand how they would let a mother in those conditions choose whom the children would be with thought the court dose it for her & they never contacted my husband & I. Much less the grand-mother .how dose that work? It’s in San Diego county Ca.

when any educated informed person knows they two extremes of the ideological spectrum?

Why would they purposely describe a fascist as being a communist or a socialist when they know in their hearts its not true? What is their objective with this bit of chicanery?

I live in Massachusetts.

When I was 15 I stole someone's credit card number and tried to buy a dvd online. Needless to say i was caught and now it's on my juvinile record. Credit card fraud! It sounds so bad I can barely say it out loud. It's my only flaw on my recocrd. Nothing else but this. No criminal record. My record is not sealed. I'm 20 and in college for criminal justice. Is all hope lost for getting a job in this field? Will government agencies look at this and not accept me? Should i just quit now? This has been bothering me for so long and I feel so hopeless. Can someone shed light on this? Can someone with the knoledge tell me if this will disqualify me from getting a job as a police officer (for example)?

Working in the criminal justice field is my dream and i want to follow my dream. I know it's credit card fraud but doesn't the fact that it's juvinile make any difference? I was 15 years old! Do I have a chance? With a BS from Northeastern??

Respectfully,
Mike

what if MLK was a communist? what would you think about him?? what would you think of the civil rights movement??

well hold that thought.

now, look at this.
the founder of the ACLU, Roger Baldwin, was a pro-soviet commi, here is just one of his quotes. "I am for socialism, disarmament, and, ultimately, for abolishing the state itself... I seek the social ownership of property, the abolition of the propertied class, and the sole control of those who produce wealth. Communism is the goal."

Here is the question.
knowing that the founder of the ACLU was a commi, do you think people should depend on it as they do today?

I wonder if there are details known as to what the strategy/tactics were for the the successful campaign. Is this "Patraeus" doctrine really his or was there some other mastermind? Did he just popularize the ideas? How excited are military experts about the current surge success in Iraq and the new strategy especially as a new tool against terrorism?

I've been summoned as a juror to U.S. District Court and am wondering what kind of cases are heard here, also if selected how long does jury service usually last? This is such a pain as I just did state jury last month but it doesn't exempt you unless it is for 5 days or more.

It had to be a maverick like him to say what most people know in their guts that the War On Drugs is not controlling drug traffick, or illegal profits funding gangs and terrorists all over the world. In Afghanistan drug moneys are killing our soldiers, we may even lose that war.
