Then, either (a) the originator of this question and all participants in this discussion must be EQUALLY admonished and understand that the question should have been posited on Plug-Talk in the first place, or (b) the rules need to be fixed so that when the occasional question pops up which inquires of the worth or value of a person, a concept which can never be established by science or rational argument alone, and can certainly never be established secular means alone, to wit, when it is understood that what is being elicited from the participants are their opinions of a man: That statements of the form "[Positive/Negative] assessment, appended by [a belief positing how any man may be found worthy of anything, or may be found lacking] are known to be admissible, for ANY and ALL belief systems stated. Discrimination against a person because when asked of the value of man, a person applies his religion to arrive at an assessment and states so publicly, when any and every other answer is either unsupported, or originates from equally arbitrary beliefs and assessments IS DEPRECATED. Tolerance of multiculturalism, and civility toward others whose belief systems differ from your own, demands nothing less. Let us consider ALL of us equally warned. ... And go back to having fun using Linux and improving the experience for each other.... - GLL _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
