Would more examples actually be useful, or just more examples?
I am currently raising 3 human beings, and while I don't make any claims of be a perfect parent (is there such a thing?), I believe I help do a pretty good job with the assistance of my wife.
As an average human being, I believe that most parents would want thier children to turn out something like themselves. To do that, parent's teach thier children thier values and beliefs. I do not consider this forcing it upon them.
Personally I feel that respect for others stems from your own beliefs, and without a solid base of what to believe, which will evolve over time as life shapes a person, that person will likely have little respect for others, or possibly be less socially palatable (can't think of the right words to use here so don't rip me because it doesn't work for you).
On a semi side note to this, I am very active in my children's lives (my oldest is 6, so not a whole lot going on just yet), which I would think most people on/. would agree would be a good thing, especially with all the hubbub raised over things such as parent's suing game companies for corrupting their children. In my eyes, being active in a child's life is going to pass on beliefs, either actively or passively.
Regardless, it is great that people raise their children differently, it provides a lot more interesting people overall.
Whose beliefs would you have us 'force' on our children? The governments? As a parent, I have a moral responsibility to raise my children with beliefs to get them through life. I know too many people, various members of my extended family included, who were raised with little or no guidance (no one forced beliefs on them) and are far from productive members of society.
I won't say that NOT having beliefs forced on you means you will be a bad person, nor will I say thathaving had beliefs forced on you means you will be a good person. In my case, my mom drank and smoke, yet I can't stand them, even having spent 19 years at home with it. Your environment and what you are taught are not everything.
It may be excessive until you consider the thousands of people who litter who don't get caught. Making the fine $10,000 just makes you REALLY not want to be the one who gets caught as opposed to just being annoyed that you have to pay a few hundered dollar fine. And, surprisingly enough, this correlates nicely with p2p....everyone does it, but if it truly is meant to stop, make it hurt for the right people (not the grandma's and pre-teens who can't afford it and will likely settle anyway)
Having recently lived there, although in a townhouse with dish and internet already provided, you may want to ask them what challenges they faced. They are a little larger, non-college town, with a '99 pop. estimate of just over 19,000 (http://www.utohwy.com/s/spanishf.htm) which has definately grown in the last few years. You can see what they have done at www.sfcn.org.
Fortunately I just bought a home with internet access as part of the deal and no longer use services from qwest...so no...I will not be assimilated...;)
Actually it means that the bedroom area is separated by doors from the living room area. Members of the opposite sex are not allowed after a certain hour in the dorm at all. Family members, to include memebers of the opposite sex are more than welcome to come in, and generally as family, can be there as long as they want during any hours.
As taken from the reading...
"A majority of this Panel agrees with the result reached by the panelist in the Wallmartcanadasucks.com case, and disagrees with the opposite view in the previously cited cases. Both common sense and a reading of the plain language of the Policy support the view that a domain name combining a trademark with the word "sucks" or other language clearly indicating that the domain name is not affiliated with the trademark owner cannot be considered confusingly similar to the trademark."
It is nice to see that they do have some common sense in the matter. It is noted in other posts that if you register a -sucks.com domain, be prepared to defend it in a timely manner, which, in other cases, did not happen and thereby lost their domains. You can't complain about losing it if you don't bother to defend it.
Doesn't it seem that as companies grow larger and larger, they feel they can be more and more liberal with thier customers and expect to get away with it?
I know these have been released before but quite apparently without success as there has been no widespread use of them that I know of. Are we really so busy with our lives that we can't spend a few minutes to get to know a person?

Just a thought....

Minor point....
Wouldn't you find the great....great grand**FATHER** of Ted Williams? Or am I missing some time travel reference here?
I believe either the tags were left out, or the bad news is in referral to bad news for SCO, not bad news for Linux.

Call me crazy....but I would think that 100% of BSD/OS users used BSD/OS.
