God I hope this doesn't spark 1,000 emails in reply. I rather not have these topics discussed on this list

Every day, this flag is publicly burned, spat on, desecrated, and what have you. Does this prompt me and thousands of others to riot like violent lunatic assholes? No, and in fact I think it's important that we continue to allow these ingrate fire artisans (at the very least the ones in the US) the right to burn the flag as it is an essential freedom (and not because my constitution tells me so, it's simply because expressing yourself, however unpopular, should always be protected from tyranny, intimidation, and physical violence). The rest of the civilized world shows remarkable restraint when symbols held dear to them are befouled by jihadist piglets, yet look what happens when the coin is flipped. So when I hear that some book takes a bath and 7000 miles away a bunch of shitheads decide to react with deadly violence resulting in their own demise - BOO HOO. Social Darwinism wins again. I mean really, if flushing a book is all it takes to knock off a few violent jihadist thugs then...well nevermind. >From: "G.Waleed Kavalec" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: "G.Waleed Kavalec" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, The Hardware List ><hardware@hardwaregroup.com> >To: NT System Admin Issues <ntsysadmin@lyris.sunbelt-software.com>, >The Hardware List <hardware@hardwaregroup.com> >Subject: [H] [OT] Early Friday off-topic >Date: Thu, 23 Jun 2005 17:58:02 -0500 > >BULLETIN! this just in > > > It wasn't the Qur'an they flushed after all... > > http://www.islamawakened.com/images/20050517edwas-a-p.jpg > > >G.
