Yes, any private business would have that right. Haven't you ever seen the "We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone at any time for any reason" signs up in businesses before? A private business is just like a private residence in that regard - a private business is not a public place and has different rules.

People only see the prices for goods and services, and rarely think about the real costs.

Posting videos on a privately owned video site is not the same thing as going out into the public and stating your opinion. The latter is free speech, but forcing a private company to post videos they do not want to host is not free speech for the company involved. The content doesn't matter one bit - it is Youtube's private site and if you want to use their service you agree to their terms. It isn't like they sent out a squad of bootjack thugs to round this girl up in a public place...

Well to be fair calling someone a whore or asshole isn't illegal but "hate speech" is. Death threats are very illegal if they are deemed to be serious however.

I support about 60 PCs at work and Silverlight is a required application. I haven't had a single Silverlight problem yet that couldn't be fixed by a re-install. Maybe the problem is running in a VM? Although I have a few VMware boxes running Windows and they don't have problems with Silverlight either.

Please explain to me how "faith" will answer the question of WHY better than "science". I think the only thing that can sufficiently answer that question is probably philosophy, which does not require faith.

No, the accepted usage of a word is what the majority says. The majority can and will sometimes be wrong.

And you are perfectly in your right to think so. But if you think calling me ignorant becasue of your personsal preference isn't a tad "ironic" itself, think again.

No, synonymous words should exist. Words that are spelled nearly identical and have exactly the same meaning should not. The literal definition form Miriam Webster of irregardless IS regardless. The idea that the Earth wasn't round was once a widespread formally recognized idea. Doesn't mean it was ever correct. Sure, people are still free to use the word, just like I am free to think they sound ignorant doing so.
