If the purp0se of the website is to recruit suicide bombers and bloodthirsty killers to attack innocent 3rd parties, then you can consider it part of the infrastructure of a hostile army, and a first class target for anyone wanting to interrupt such monsters.
Bullshit. Speech is speech. No matter how offensive you find it, you only have the right to use words against them, absolutely nothing else. Your reasoning is the same thing they use to force their women to cover up. If speech can incite violence then clothing can incite rape.
I don't think a right to speech guarantees a platform.
That gives nobody the right to destroy the platform they have. All censorship is absolutely intolerable. ALL of it! Stop the guns, fine. Lift a finger to censor the speech, and I will be more than happy to cut it off.
That's the clincher that nobody will address. There are absolutely no words that can justify the use of force. We should have absolutely no tolerance for censorship.
Religion is a tool for psychological manipulation. It matters not what denomination you use. Yesterday it was the Christians, today, the Muslims... It's not too hard to even incite the Buddhists (peaceful bunch they are, eh?) and Hindus into burning down a village or two, so, there you go. But nobody here wants to even look for who benefits from all this. I, mean, even the New Yorker has it right. They call it the terrorism business. When properly framed as such, you are at least pointing the right direction in your search for the perpetrators. The ideology serves its purpose in the pep talk rallies for the tyrants, but is totally out of line in a serious investigation.
Surely this shows that it is not Islam itself that is the problem?
That's right. It's the designated distraction from those who hire these people to do this stuff. I don't give a damn about whatever ideology is there, it still takes money to motivate people, even the most fanatical have a price. Everybody here is sniffing the wrong butt.
those at the top cultivated the barbarian, grew it from rag-tag regional gang bangers into a global army, ready to strike at any time. This whole 'Islam' thing is a distraction from those who seek power. It is a very effective tool, used to exploit human weakness and overwhelm reason. Find the money, and the only possible conclusion will not sit well with most anybody here.
Heh, you favor neo-liberalism, the Reagan/Thatcher variety. Phony as a three dollar bill. I prefer conservatives to charlatans.
I don't see why I should pay higher taxes so that you can get an Internet plan that I would never buy for myself.
Yes! Of course! Heaven forbid that anyone besides yourself should benefit at all from from your labor.
Whatever... you're just playing the part of the stooge here, the crap is so tiresome after hearing for so many years... don't know if you're like this in meatspace. I sure do wish though, that you people could come up with something a bit more original after all this time.
Wealthiest for some, lousy internet for most, comparatively speaking of course, I mean, since you brought up Europe. I hear it's still better than most of Africa, a true example of laissez faire. So, I guess you have that going for you. Don't spend all that wealth at once:-)
The biggest issue we have had has been global reinsurance companies "reinterpreting" their obligations.
Oldest trick in the book. A man's bonus depends on it.
And it sounds like like somebody is trying to profit from the wreck. I'm sure the property owners have enough money to clean it up, and probably should be ordered to do so or lose the title.
:-) I would never mod you down for anything, but maybe you should check out that sloppy post before you complain about other peoples' editing.
(yeah, I know I will hear more whining about no unicode and how it's everybody else's fault, but hey, that's why I'm posting this. The reaction reveals a person's true character)
Not much really except the beaches might smell a bit more 'fishy'. But the plankton route seems the lest risky with the greatest benefits so far, since it would essentially be natural growth. Any extra algae that shows up can be scooped up for 'veggie-fuel'.
When overall life expectancies and standards of living worldwide start to decline rather than rise...
While things are great now, that is something to be aware of before it actually happens. That whole 'calm before the storm' thing has some merit. And you know how the ocean draws back before the tsunami hits. Let's not be as arrogant as the owners of the Titanic.

...use of their fists or pistols.

Yes, and we can't allow women to wear provocative clothing either, because it incites rape.
Because mere advocacy is nothing, only words. People have to act.
Nothing is. It takes might to do the protecting. There are no 'rights' without it.
mostly in the US though
Heh, travel to Uganda. The American mega-preachers are having much better luck over there.

Never mind, I forgot... One uses a computer
How do you distinguish the two?

That sounds very cool! How do you buy it, in powder form?
We must give unlimited powers to the supreme chancellor!

I do see a small difference between obeying the law (out of necessity) and agreeing with it. I don't smoke weed in front of the police station.

You let the law guide your conscious? Eh, go with the flow, I guess.
Thank you for illustrating why we have what we have today :-)
yeah, I know I will hear more whining about no unicode and how it's everybody else's fault
in what way is it my fault that text rendered by this site does not get accepted properly back in to the text input boxes on this site?
Thank yooouuu... gonna call you damn_reliable

Not without spin.
Would a political press release do?
