That's absurd. I gave one example of a caricature being removed on the government's insistence. Just because I can't recall the rest does not make me a liar. I am not a Muslim. I see wrong against every religion and subscribe to none. I thought the Da Vinci Code was pure propaganda (yes I read it), but it was written by a "Christian". I stand by what I said even if I am to be labeled whatever for it.

Cultural difference is showing. In western culture, respect is not a matter of play-acting.

It may indeed be an abuse. That is still not enough to justify prohibition. Only incitement to violence and attempt to defraud are valid reasons to interfere. The appropriate way to deal with propaganda is to demonstrate that it is false, and expose the purveyors true motives.

I'll be glad to label you - as ignorant of how America works.

do show respect to one another even if they can't stand each other
It's certainly possible to respect someone you can't stand. I've met more than one person who I considered to be an arrogant asshole, but whose work was outstanding. I will usually play nice when I am forced to be in the company of friend's friends who I think aren't worthy of respect. But in that case, I am behaving with respect to my friend, not his friends.

I have trouble writing to my congressman. His name is Jack Spratt. (I kid you not.)

What a name. My congressman is Jerry Lewis. I used to respect the guy until he voted Aye, twice, for the bailout. DJIA is sure still heading downhill :eek:

Doubt what the fuck you like but don't waste my time telling me what I would or wouldn't do. You don't know me, a$$hole, remember?

k then tell me about this: Your first day as a camp instructor, and you are regarded as inconsequential and utterly unimportant by the regular staff and daycare workers that run the school you're sited at. The kids are wild. At the end, the parents show up, but the school's janitor has locked the closest gate (the one they're waiting at) and you will have to walk the kids out the front gate to meet them. Some parents come inside, to say "hi, ah there's my kid, cya." All of them have to sign each kid out. Some of the kids run off to their daycare, like every other day, but don't tell you. Then, when you're finally at the gate, a bellicose mother comes up to take her son, and, while he's busy talking loudly to his mom, she harangues you for having her wait 5 extra minutes in the sun on a (beautiful, but hot) 90 degree day. Do you A) respect her? B) tell her you don't get paid nearly enough to listen to her sh*t? Feel free to add other options.

Aware of this? Yes, I've read about it for the past few weeks. I got one in the mail on Monday but it hit the trashcan as fast as the rest of my junk mail does.

B's fine. I might use somewhat less colorful language if the kids are around, but I have never suffered fools gladly.
