Craigslist Fires Back Over Adult Services Accusations
Craigslist has fired back at South Carolina Attorney General Henry McMaster in an open letter defending the company's policies and procedures surrounding the much debated "adult services." Stating not only the measures that have been taken to minimize illegal behavior, CEO Jim Buckmaster suggests that Craigslist is doing much better at minimizing questionable ads than other major competitors like Yahoo!, Google, and others. "Mr McMaster, I strongly recommend you reconsider and retract your remarks, and positively affirm that you have no intention of launching criminal investigations aimed at any of these upstanding companies, because in truth none of them are deserving of such treatment. [...] We're willing to accept our share of criticism, but wrongfully accusing craigslist of criminal misconduct is simply beyond the pale. We would very much appreciate an apology at your very earliest convenience. As I'm sure would all of the other fine companies whose executives you've called out as criminals."
Yep, how stupid of them to try to be reasonably and cooperate with other organizations. Why, if everyone did what they did... oh wait. If everyone did what they did the world would run a lot smoother and we wouldn't need to go to the courts over every tiny little issue. Now, obviously not everyone is going to cooperate, but that just means the organizations that do deserve our appreciation and encouragement, not our disdain

Tell me - do these Christians torture you to make you see their way? Is your home burnt down, regularly? Are you forbidden to build a temple of your choosing? Assuming that you are an American, Canadian, Australian, or European, you have the freedom to worship as you wish, or not. What more can you ask for?
