    Ditto all the other replies re diveresity etc. Secondly I assume that you are not 100% guarnteed of passing your heart ailment on to your children as genetics doesn't seem to work that way. If you have children you are playing the odds, just like the rest of us. There are no guarntees in genetics, especially when it comes to procreation. It's a roll of the dice. Many of our new early screening techniques in fact give no guarantees, but ratios. They give you an idea of the likelihood of your child having defect X. If you want sproglets have 'em but be aware - you kiss your sleep in goodbye and battle for control of your favoured console ;)

    Freedoms must be limited to an extent to allow them to be practiced to their fullest degree. Historically, in almost every case where the public has been convinced of this, freedom has been abused, trampled on and lost. When we believe that we do not have the right to protest, we are doomed. 'Fighting words' is entirely subjective. You do have a point on the bias of the article, however that makes it even worse, really. It says no-one has the right to get in a group and voice an opinion without risking retribution.

    Depends on the country really - here in Oz our fearless (and hopefully about to be 'unelected') Lil Johnnie literally bends over backwards to do the bidding of the the US. So its a fair bet it'd be extradition and court if there was non-compliance.

    just curious - where do you go to get qualified as a politician, do you send 'em all to a special school over there in the US?
