Frankly I find most political cartoons useless flamebait. They tend to shallow and tend to be more preaching to choir than a source of useful dialog. I would like to see more publications decide to not print things that do not help.
But they need to decide to do that out and not be forced to do that out of fear. Self censorship based on your ethic and morals is a good thing. Censorship based on fear of violence is a bad thing.
True but I would also like to see a change to the must carry law. A broadcast channel could only charge the cable company a carriage fee for customers that can see the channel OTA with set top antenna. All broadcast channels that are carried must be carried as part of the basic package and that the highest resolution broadcast. So if CBS wants to charge it must give the consumer the option of watching for free using rabbit ears. So if the cable company does not want to pay the consumer can still get the OTA broadcasts.
Or maybe it will be Britany Spears, Star Wars "the original", and the Avenger Movies that will be impressed by not to mention "I Love Lucy". It is hard to tell. what they like.
With fewer channels on average the value of the advertising per channel should go up. So while Logo will probably end up with less money and cost more if you really want it or go away completely. Cartoon network, AMC, and other popular channels might actually drop in price so they can sell more ads.
A cop that sees a crime and does not stop it is a bad cop. That is what a cop signs up to do. A person that lives under a violent government and says nothing so they do not endanger their family is a victim. A person that lives in Canada and is Islamic has not responsibility as far as the actions of an extremist in France that they do not know or support in anyway.
Hitler liked dogs so is every person that likes dogs in the world responsible for the things Hitler did?
" And you're trying to tell me that the goal of the Imperial Japanese military was to spread Shinto, rather than their own influence? " They believed in "They way of the Gods", they believed the Emperor was a God, and they were fighting to put more area under the control of their Divine Emperor.... QED
" People fighting revolutions are not fighting to bring about atheism, that is not their goal. Their goal is an entire political, social, and economic ideology, not just the removal of organized religion."
But they were fighting for the removal of organized religion. You seem to fail to understand that was part of the ideology and a vital part. The fact that other things where involve is no different than any other "war" ever fought over any ideology including religion. As I said it is stupid to blame Atheists for the mass murders done by Atheists trying to spread an Atheist ideology as it is dumb to blame an followers of Islam for what a few do in the name of Islam or to blame Christians as a whole for what some did in the name Christianity. Sorry if you are offended by the idea of not being bigoted.
Really? Do you know every member of the Islamic faith? Get over it you are just deciding that you get to judge people that have done nothing wrong based on what a few people do. That isn't fair or just. Condemn the people that actually do thing wrong and move on.
I doubt that anyone ever ran into battle shouting "For Shinto!"
Really? Shinto aka the divinity of the Emperor where often battle cries during WWII.
"For Atheism!" They did but in the form the the peoples revolution in places like Russia, China, North Korea, Cambodia... Marxism has atheism as primary requirement.
But the vast majority of the followers of Islam don't ever kill anyone. It is like blaming Atheists for all the deaths caused by atheists which is huge.
And landed men on the moon, sent the first probes to Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Invented the transistor and IC, created Unix and C and managed to turn Japan in to democratic nation and kept Europe for burning to the the ground... And we have nukes.
This part is more interesting " they also emit nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides " Those actually reflect light and lower the effects of greenhouse gases. Of course jets are actively reducing those emissions.
He did but the original post was from a member of the First Church of the Organic loving skeptic. Anything that violates that dogma is a danger to them because they are sure that they are rational so all of their beliefs are rational and anything that endangers their beliefs must be bad science.
It is funny because one of the worst risks is from the all natural organic tobacco plant. And no modern tobacco is not any more dangerous than what people smoked in 1600s.
" Linux can be anywhere from impossible to ideal for a less-clueful user, but it may require some knowledge to set it up, and the notion is intimidating to many. ChromeOS is... safe, reliable and easy." ChomeOS is Linux... Actually Linux once setup can be very user friendly. Installing Windows can be just as big of a pain as Linux. I really like the idea of ChromeOS. It is the right solution for the I want to use Facebook and email crowd.

News Flash.
The US's ICBMs are from the 1960s and the US still uses tankers and strategic bombers from the 1950s.
Good stuff lasts.
The US did not overextend itself in Vietnam.
In Vietnam we really didn't fight a war to win it.

If we could just solve the latency problem it could be a real winner.

Actually I doubt that. Shinto might be the winner in that contest.
And none of them can compete with Atheists for a death toll.
Simple gamers do not buy new cards until you can get new cards.
No one buys new cards until there are new cards to buy...
We could also cut all funding to the arts. After all it is just entertainment.

I am pretty sure that is not a person.

I see no debate on this one.
