Done by people who, I suspect you would believe, are driven only by
greed and a lust for power and money and fueled by a control of the
media and a good deal of cash. So, why then does no one counter that
with a group of people driven by a want to do what they think is right
at the sacrifice of their own time and money? Oh, that group is too busy
dealing with straw man arguments.


You asked why it wasn't done already, I gave you some logistical
problems that need solutions. Instead of looking at them, you start
bashing a puppet that wasn't even a part of the argument. Frankly, stuff
like that is why political supporters on both sides can continue to
scream about the 'opponents side' being unable to argue.

Why, then, do you believe that solving world hunger is such an easy
problem to solve, and why then do you not do it your self? Stop waiting
for someone else to fix it, get up, raise some money, and solve the
problem. Pure idealism is great, but you need to do something with it
other then just talking about it.

here.

  I really fail to see how that is relevant. I have always *opposed* heavy
criticism, especially of other nations and their leaders.

  But do whatever you want. I'll just tell you to fuck off.

I was referring to "political rants" in general. It does not always apply to 
leaders.
BTW alphaQuad is not criticizing an *other* nation leader.

from "News Server Acceptable Use Policy" in p.a.faq:

     Users of this news server may not post messages that could
     reasonably be expected, by today's standards, to cause another
     reasonable person to not want to use or visit this server due
     to a feeling of harassment. Personal attacks, exhibiting
     insulting or abusive behavior, are not an acceptable activity
     on this news server. Likewise, the use of profanity is also
     considered unacceptable.

And anticipating your reply: no, something does not become a personal 
attack when someone dares to suggest you said something wrong. For 
instance this post isn't one. It is merely a kind request to behave in 
public. Rule of thumb: don't use the f-word.

Why this phrase then?
"I have always *opposed* heavy
criticism, especially of other nations and their leaders."

Make your posts understandable, may be you will be better understood

  Because you made it sound like I often post political rants, and
what I said was that I don't, that I in fact oppose heavy political
criticism, I don't make it.

huh? Do you understand the concept of a *News Server Acceptable Use 
Policy*? FYI it means that the person that runs the news server has set 
limitations on what is acceptable use. It is *not* for a user to decide 
that these restrictions do not apply to them, not even if the reason is 
another breach of that policy.

I don't know if you can receive BBC2, but tonight they will broadcast "a 
night at the opera". I don't know if I have seen this one, but I am sure 
Groucho will have some prime examples of being horribly rude while at 
the same time being well spoken and intelligent. Watch and learn.
