Google Under Fire Over Racist Blogs
AcidAUS writes "Google is being accused of refusing to remove racist blogs targeting minority groups in Australia. Google, whose corporate motto is "don't be evil", says it will take the blogs in question offline only if ordered to do so by a court."
By the way, in the US - which is just about as liberal as it gets when it comes to free speech - you are allowed to say anything you want about a group, but you are never allowed to call for violence. For instance, you can say "White people are evil and stupid." You cannot say, "Everyone go out and kill a white man." I used white people because I'm white :)
What does being white have to do with anything? I'm white too and I've heard those remarks from people of all races. I think that is more along the lines of "Humans are evil and stupid." I don't even want to imply that "Everyone should go out and kill evil stupid humans." Mainly because only those stupid evil humans would actually follow an implied message like that. I used to hold humanity in higher reguard. That's was way back in junior high when I didn't really care about history or politics. Examine both; humans are stupid and evil. Humans will also stand by while a small select groups purge individuals of groups that they dislike themselves.
Reducing taxes is always good. Anything the government was going to do you could do with your taxes anyways. And if the money was being used for one of the many wealth redistribution schemes then it is definitely good as it is tantamount to theft anyways.
I think you're only half right here.....nothing is bad with reducing taxes!!!
It (should) forces the govt. to reduce wasteful spending.....they do not need anymore, or as much of my money as they get.
Unfortunately, I don't think Bush has met a spending bill he didn't like....which is too bad..the Reps. of old were for fiscal conservation too.
But, really....at least in the US...reducing taxes == good.
Cutting spending on wasteful pork projects, and the welfare state == good
Can't think of how reducing taxes could be bad....but, I'm pretty much with you on the rest of your post....
Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.........
