We went over this when wikileaks Material was posted to /.

It's your responsibility. Not the site's. Otherwise, they'd have to accomodate to every small request.

I do find it interesting how many Atheists are working very hard to formalize Atheism. Creating a more rigid structure that contains many of the trappings of Religions.

You could replace that with any ideology or opinion or group.

I was looking through your posts trying to figure you out and I'm puzzled about the whole surrounding a word with underscores. What's the idea behind it?

Also, claiming that proof will come at a point where it won't be verifiable is not a valid answer. It's not reproducible either.

May I ask what's your particular set (or lack of beliefs)?

Nope. You don't need to doubt everything to make certain claims. I also claim there ARE no hogoblins and that doesn't make me a huge believer. It just makes me rational.

Something doesn't exist unless we can observe/measure it somehow. I'm sure I can find plenty of things you assert where I can say you're blindly putting your faith in.

The whole agnostic vs atheist thing has to be with political correctness and moderates/extremes wanting to discredit or move away from those they dislike.

I can also point at ridiculous people in your group and claim they represent you.

Pretending atheists are anything more than, say "people who assert gravity is real" or "people who deny the existence of unicorns unless given proof" is being disingenuous.

also, arguably very different to a point it's hard to compare.

If we're talking about productivity with an OS. I'll stick to bash+gnu tools every time although I'm very glad that powershell exists.

"programming languages"? I don't understand what you mean, unless you're talking about IDEs.

You're committing the same flaw of the user you replied to.

Giving every user the same stereotype and personality.

Someday we'll realize all these divisions and patriotism only help to keep us occupied and divided instead of trying to find a way to avoid the corruption of those with power/money.

We're all humans after all, no matter what religion, ideology or place of birth.

Your comment is alarmist.

One could use the same kind of argument to say that TV was stopping communication between them in the first place. "In my time grandma and grandpa sat by the fireplace and talked while she knat, that TV thing keeps both of them from talking to each other, watching images move, like mindless zombies!"

Wow. You're good at Govspeak.

It would work even better if non US citizens were not considered as subhuman.

It's becoming a trend that every time the US government strips your rights they find a way to deny your citizenship (anwar al-waki & son) so that no one can complain.

If you are american, you should stop excusing injustices if they don't seen to happen to "proper US citizens".

Anything can and should be joked about but I agree that the concept that ilegal assaults (of whatever type) inside prison are ok because they might happen to guilty people is completely farfetched.

The punishment is prison, containment and isolation. There shouldn't be extra violence and it certainly doesn't aid in the supposed rehabilitation.

Or worse, if companies block it voluntarily without apparent government intervention so everything seems fine and dandy.

heh, noted. I'll put on my list.
