    'likely to expose a person... to hatred or contempt because of race, religion, age, disability, sex, marital status or sexual orientation


    What if you make a factual statement that could expose someone to hatred or contempt? For example, the proportion of crime committed per capita by race, the number of suicide bombings per religion, the driving safety record of various age groups?


  6. $10,000 per person is enough? on End of the Internet's Tax-Free Ride? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The US budget calls for spending the equivalent of $10,000 for every man woman and child (3 trillion / 300 million pop.). When is it enough? Isn't there some point where we can say that the people are taxed enough?

  7. Re:disgusting on FTC Offput by Offsets · · Score: 1

    And... carbon released from oil is carbon that otherwise would have been stored indefinitely. The tree will store the carbon only during its lifetime and then will release it into the atmosphere. It's a scam.

    27 stations so far and the trend is not looking good at all.

  13. Weather Stations Near Heat Sources on James Hansen on the Warmest Year Brouhaha · · Score: 1

    This web site shows many flawed weather stations: http://www.norcalblogs.com/watts/weather_stations/

    My favorite is the one near a burn barrel: http://www.norcalblogs.com/watts/2007/06/how_not_t o_measure_temperature_4.html

    Here's one on the receiving end of the exhaust from several air conditioning units: http://www.norcalblogs.com/watts/2007/07/how_not_t o_measure_temperature_23.html

    If you support the right of adults to pay for and listen to whatever speech they want, I strongly suggest creating your own account to add to their numbers and join in the fun.
