That's like saying Freedom of Speech means that you can silence
anybody who you don't want to listen to.
What part of FREEDOM do you not understand?

Are you claiming that some Americans are being prosecuted

Name one.

Do you recommend I not read anymore books on sociology, or material
from so-called Rationalist organisations, or lurk on humanist newgroups?
I have grown to distain Humanism as a result of reading material from
those sources, and I distain Humanism even more when so-called
academics steeped in neo-marxist political correctness become politicians
and bureaucrats and try to manage the lives of adults and children into the
Brave New World.

In my country marxism neither died in academic circles nor in government.
The same goes for much of Western Europe and Canada.

Well, I don't know what FUD is, and nothing I wrote was out-of-date.

True. I've found myself writing in style #1 more and more often, even
though I know that the "standard way" is correct.
#1 seems MUCH clearer

You really can't get much more plain than "do X and then

be able to follow simple instructions.

Some games think that they detect debuggers when run under
Wine or vmware. These tend to panic as a matter of policy.

That definition encompasses both Atheism & Agnosticism.
Theism: "I believe in a God/Goddess"
Polytheism: "I believe that there are multiple Gods and/or Godesses"
Atheism: "I believe that no God or Goddess exists"
Agnosticism: "I don't know if one or more God(s)/Godess(es) exist or not"

DNRC Minister of all I survey
ICQ # 3056642
H: "Having found not one single carbon monoxide leak on the entire
premises, it is my belief, and Willard concurs, that the reason
you folks feel listless and disoriented is simply because
you are lazy, stupid people"
I: Loren Petrich's 2-week stubborn refusal to respond to the
challenge to describe even one philosophical difference
between himself and the communists demonstrates that, in fact,
Loren Petrich is a COMMUNIST ***hole
J: Other knee_jerk reactionaries: billh, david casey, redc1c4,
The retarded sisters: Raunchy (rauni) and Anencephielle (Enielle),
also known as old hags who've hit the wall....
A: The wise man is mocked by fools.
B: Jet Silverman plays the fool and spews out nonsense as a
method of sidetracking discussions which are headed in a
direction that she doesn't like.
C: Jet Silverman claims to have killfiled me.
D: Jet Silverman now follows me from newgroup to newsgroup
...despite (C) above.
E: Jet is not worthy of the time to compose a response until
her behavior improves.
F: Unit_4's "Kook hunt" reminds me of "Jimmy Baker's" harangues against
adultery while concurrently committing adultery with Tammy Hahn.
G: Knackos...you're a retard.
