Often times even when you're doing something that's absolutely legal, you're still being an asshole. If you've got an open platform and you let people post anything that's legal, but then you inject your morals into it and ban them from posting things you personally disagree with, that's being an asshole. What would you say here if instead of banning content containing nudity, they banned content showing any support for feminism, or for the rights of minorities, or they banned any religious content except that of Christianity?

In order for it to be collateral damage, it has to be, well, collateral. Do you actually read what you're replying to? Let me point you to the part you missed: purposefully targeting ... unarmed civilians. As far as your cute line about war = terrorism, did you miss the memo regarding it being illegal to kill noncombatants in modern day wars? Unless you were just being an ass, here, educate yourself: http://hnn.us/articles/1345.html

I think you're a bit confused. There is nothing stopping a person from being a freedom fighter and a terrorist at the same time. The first term refers to why they're doing what they're doing. The second refers to how they do it. So while Hamas may (it's rather questionable. but so are many other things) be fighting for freedom, how they do it (purposefully targeting, attacking and executing unarmed civilians) makes them terrorists.

Just went to check out the Newsday site. It's so ugly and hard on the eyes that I'm not sure I'd visit it if they paid me for it.

Why is this getting modded Interesting? Is it really that interesting that there are exceptions to every rule? By and large, though, conservative Christians don't believe in evolution and are against gay marriage. But this isn't really news either.

I bet Greece doesn't run by your standards either.

Nonsense. A gun can force you to buy it.

Well, XP was like a SP for 2000, but 2000 was already good. Vista was a huge overhaul for XP, but Vista is slow, buggy, and in many respects simply annoying. Win 7... seems to be a SP for Vista. I'm not sure, I haven't tried it yet. But I think you're missing the point. The reason people complain re Vista and Win7 is because of Vista's suckage, not because something is an SP or a huge overhaul. There will always be a few people who do complain because of something new or something old, but if something really sucks, most people will complain for that specific reason.

Maybe there are exceptions to the rule, but generally it seems to hold true.
