I don't think this is the right group for such discussion. We should definitely
continue this thread on p.o-t. I just expressed my personal opinion and didn't expect
all those me-too's responses here.

Absolutely not! I was not even hinting at it. I was reacting to the comment:

>>>"The sad fact is that your

>>> of people who would actually -do- such things.

as Greg M. Johnson stated. I should have cut off the quotation a litte bit
earlier, leaving out the "mindset"-part, then my reaction would be clearer.

But on the other hand, I cannot interpret mr. VanSickles original posting as
a mere burlesque joke, referring to the subject-line he chose.

regards,
Simen.

    And this is what you find to be BS? You must have missed most of the
religious wars in this little world.

    This says more about you than it does about him.

The sign of a civalized society is how it treats it's enemies.  Don't
let yourself be brought down by the actions of others.

*I* thought your comments were right on.

I also thought the cartoon was funny.

Greg is so mad about this, I'm sure if he caught John he'd probably string
him up to see how he likes what he's proposing for bin Lauden *rofl*

No, I thought it was funny.

However, I also feel very strongly angry at American's who have been
persecuting Arab's or anyone that looks arabic.

No, but most people think freedom of speech doesn't apply when people want
to censor 'things that are clearly wrong'.

You didn't advocate censorship, but others in this thread have.
