    I'm ugly, fat, and smelly, and I haven't been laid in 5 years.

    But I bet even I could get a nice piece of ass in New York.

    I watched the towers fall from Brooklyn where the same day (1) a woman I know was walking with her 8-year-old daughter when three Muslim youth came up to them and pointed and said "You're next!" (2) another woman I know in the same part-Muslim neighborhood found a postcard of the World Trade Center on the sidewalk, turned it over, and found a black "V" (for "victory"?) on the back. These are not reasons to restrict the freedoms of citizens. These are the reasons to immediately deport all Muslim immigrants, or at least sort out which among them are evil, for quite obviously a not insignificant number of them are.

    If Nazis are citizens, they have free speach rights. If Muslims are citizens, the same. If Muslims are not citizens, for Christ's and humanity's sake, offer them two choices: (1) turn in your fellow-religionists who perpetrate evil or (2) leave. This is not racism. Neither Nazism nor Islamism corresponds to a race. Both ideologies are evil, however, worse than any version of Marxism, even. Excuse my political incorrectness, but there are two choices: (1) sacrifice everyone's freedom, or (2) remove the freedoms of Muslim immigrants who are here due to our generosity. Do we currently accept Nazi immigrants? Are Muslims somehow morally superior to Nazis? In what way? Are they kinder to Jews? Or would most of them be Nazis to Jews given the chance? Please answer that question honestly, then say if we should grant avowed Muslims favors we wouldn't grant avowed Nazis.

    Slashdot editors, please explain why you're sensoring posts. By now we all know you have a long history of that. Many, many posts are being deleted.

    Bullshit!

      Someone pointed out (with proof) a +1 moderated (at the last minute) goatse.cx troll that never made it to a static page not so long ago. [ALL +1 or above comments are supposed to make it to the static pages].

      I really don't know if that counts as censorship or not, though, since the damn ugly ASCII art still gets plastered on here all the time anyways.

      I guess you'll need to do some digging for the answer you seek. :-/

    But there's a special procedure: you have to cut the blue field of stars out of the flag, separating it from the stripes. It is no longer a flag then, and burning is permissible.

    Great! That makes me think of another disposal procedure: take it with you to the loo, and wipe your ass with it. After that, it is no longer a flag (or does the American flag have any brown in it?), and you can burn it safely...
