The points being made here by a number of people about the impropriety of reprinting these cartoons are not merely common sense, although IMO they...
I think you raise a very good point. At the very least bans on such things should be temporary and be revisited from time to time. I’m thinking...
Good point. When something is published that uses the N word it is usually not spelled out in full because it’s not necessary and to do so would...
I’ll ask again, why would they need to be published for context? What would publishing them add? As far as I know there is no dispute about...
I’m not sure what you’re referring to when you say that Islamic law is fruitless, but I don’t think not printing those cartoons is an infringement...
DD you’re taking a completely culturally biased position, as I hope you know. It’s not for you to decide what is offensive for them. Someone on...
Here's another example of where bad will gets you. ----- Poll: Youths Back N. Korea if Attacked Wednesday February 22, 2006 4:16 AM...

Well, you are taking a very selective view of what happened, of course. If that’s what the intention of this administration was then they should...
One more and you’re out giddy! In answer to the question, it is in the United States’ best interest to act fairly. If you think it through...
Thanks for that! What did we ever do BW (before Wikipedia)? ;)
This is a replay of something that happened in the Vietnam war isn’t it? Wasn’t there a US war ship that suffered a phantom attack which Johnson...
We’re talking about real functioning 21st century democracies. Sorry for the misunderstanding about your use of the term social democracy, btw....
Well, that is a very challenging, and very interesting, passage that requires some careful attention. On first pass, for example, it seems to...
This is essentially 100% incorrect. You are trying to compare a purely democratic form of government in social democracy with two diametrically...
