Alright, now you are making up your own reality. There is no reasoning with somebody who is as delusional as you are, so I will stop arguing with you now.
Oh Jesus Christ, more RoughlyDrafted bullshit.
For those of you who don't already know, RoughlyDrafted is an Apple propaganda blog that abuseddigg by using multiple accounts to "digg" their own stories and "bury" any stories or comments expressing an opposing viewpoints. And now they're infiltrating Slashdot.
Well, now you know the truth. I am posting this as non-AC because I am willing to risk karma for this public service announcement to be heard.
By the way, if you ever wanted to know why FairPlay isn't interoperable, the short answer is because Apple makes more money that way.
That's a pretty good use of faulty logic. The flaw is instantly seen: Bert may have committed a crime, but Bert is not the one who is making the claim of moral relativism. Neither I nor you have committed these crimes (hopefully), yet for some reason, I am the only one who is equally outraged at both parties that have committed crimes. You, on the other hand, condemn the United States for committing a crime while simultaneously condoning the same crime when it is committed by Iran, with the justification that the United States has also committed the crime, and it is therefore okay. You can either criticize the actions of both nations or you can condone the actions of both nations, rather than what you are doing now, which is criticizing the actions of one while condoning the actions of another. Your mindless anti-American sentiment is outweighing your morality.
Actually I was referring to your general attitude of "The U.S. does it, so it's okay and everybody gets a free pass to do it too." The moral relativism here is that you feel that any faults on the part of Iran are justified by similar faults on the part of the United States.
Islamic morality only applies to Muslims, it specifically excludes anyone else. Which is something to bear in mind when dealing with Islamic politicians.
That's okay, because when dealing with any politicians I will automatically assume a lack of morality.
At which point the client would time out, and pick a new route at random, which could very well be through the node doing the DoSing, if the idea is implemented correctly.
Is the neighbor not allowed to call your wife a whore? Of course not.
Is it because of his skin color? Uhh, no.
It's because you and your neighbor have a different relationship with your wife. It's different from saying "this white stranger isn't allowed to call my wife a whore, but this black stranger is".
Fault? What fault? That's like saying If you ever wanted to make a difference in this fucked up, chaotic world, then it's your fault for being a hopeful douche bag.
No, it's more like saying "If you ever wanted an apple to be an orange, then it's your fault for wanting an apple to be an orange". An apple is an apple. It has always been an apple, and it was never supposed to be anything other than an apple. Similarly, public education is what it is because it is what public education is, by definition. It has never been different, because if it was different, then it would be something else. Expecting public education to be something it's not is entirely your fault.
If you're so concerned about not being "a slave to business" which I assume is code for "working for a company", then you're free to not pay attention in class, skip school, not go to college, and spend your life begging for money as a starving artist. The rest of us are happy to learn what we can in school, learn even more in our off time, go to college, and get a good-paying job we enjoy. If you ever expected public education to inspire creativity, or do anything creative at all, then the fault is yours for having high expectations. Creativity doesn't thrive in such a stifled, structured environment, and this is news to you? Some people are simply uncreative, they are the people who perform the uncreative jobs. Those who possess creativity don't get it from school. They feed their creativity and curiosity in their off-time, or in college, or both. Pragmatism is necessary because some people don't have anything else. Those that do will simply transcend beyond it anyways.
That's what high school is supposed to be - it's supposed to prepare the kids for the real life, and not just in terms of knowing how to do math. High school is hard at first because the kids are starting to realize that they don't get to just do whatever they want, whenever they want. It's always hard dealing with a controlling boss, but high school prepares you for that by giving you a controlling teacher. Life is hard, and high school is supposed to bridge the gap between life and an ideal, predictable, structured environment.
Jesus Christ, there is so much wrong with your post I don't know where to begin.
1. "Nigger" is an insult no matter who says it. Differentiating between different races like you're doing and assigning them different levels of free speech based on their color is extremely racist.
2. It is an insult, a worded personal attack. It causes no direct physical harm. It is as excusable as any other insult; moron, jackass, cracker, loser, etc.
3. There are sometimes people that deserve to be insulted. People generally acting like a complete jackass. For instance, a group of trolls who buy tickets to a Michael Richards show with the intent to heckle him the whole time, and then do just that.
4. Don't even begin to talk about people's "true feelings", because the only true feelings you know about are your own. Don't pretend to know how other people feel, and don't even try to judge somebody's feelings and personality based on one remark they make.
Yes, it would be perfectly constitutional. They aren't abridging free speech, as authors are free to sell their books and readers are free to read them.
This "citizendium" is nothing like Wikipedia, specifically because it does not allow anonymous editing. It doesn't even allow anonymous viewing. They made people register just to SEE the site, simply because they wanted to boost their registered user count to look like they are actually a notable website, instead of just another wiki.

Thanks for stopping the spam, Verizon, but are you going to keep all those damages for yourself?

By the way, I forgot to mention that RoughlyDrafted's digg abuse got their site banned from digg until just recently.

Let's remember here that the reason 9-11 happened was because of intelligence failings
Funny, your intelligence is failing and I don't see any more 9/11's happening.

Moral relativism at its finest.

The article here doesn't have a "reply" button beneath the summary. What gives?

Well, one could argue that, but he'd be wrong.

Upholding free speech does not mean facilitating it, as occurs in a library.
