    " Under the highway cleanup program, volunteers agree to collect litter at least twice every six months and put it in bags that state employees pick up. The state puts up signs acknowledging the help at both ends of the section of the highway the group has adopted. " Wow, twice every six months? And they are thanking them for what exactly? " Given the KKK's reputation as a hate group, it is reasonable to anticipate that taunts, jeers, insults or objects would be hurled at KKK members picking up trash near the road, they said. " Maybe the klan will give up and leave after the first hundred truck drivers accidentally fall asleep behind the wheel and plough onto the side of the road... Do they accept UK driving licenses in the States?

    Do they accept UK driving licenses in the States? If you're implying that you'd run one of them over, then how are you any better than them? I think the KKK is stupid mind you, but why is it wrong for them to hate based on color and ok for you to hate based on creed? I mean, you don't have to agree with it. That's what freedom is all about. People can choose their own lives. If they happen to choose a stupid one, then that means they are stupid. Be grateful you're not and get on with life.

        I agree. If they're going to clean up trash, that's great. The KKK itself should be banned simply because of racism and it's past actions -- just like Germany has made laws against Nazism.

        I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours. ~Stephen Roberts

          Hi Jeremy, I wasn't. Despite the fact they pursue to brutally murder people like me and wouldn't show the same willingness I would far rather prefer to not cross their paths than kill any of them myself. Rather I was asking if the accepted UK driving licenses in the States - I take it you don't know? You might also want to look up facetious[^].

              Despite the fact they pursue to brutally murder people like me Well, my point behind that was that if you kill just any ol' KKK member you see you maybe be killing one that really isn't that gung-ho and wouldn't kill you in the first place. I guess in short, you should judge based on the individual rather than the group. I mean, on the same level I could say all Europeans hate Americans because I may have noticed a few bad mouthing them. Well, at least I got voted down again by the usual moronic crowd I assume. :) Jeremy Falcon

I can understand your point of view, and advocating killing them is (not yet) justified but choosing to participate in KKK activites isn't a neutral action, right? Considering any participant as the enemy seems quiet fair to me, they belong to a criminal organization after all.

                        Considering any participant as the enemy seems quiet fair to me, they belong to a criminal organization after all. So you're saying it's ok to be a bigot as long as you're passionate about the subject matter? How does that make you much different than them? They kill because someone's a black, and you're willing to kill because they are KKK members (regardless of whether or not these members killed someone). That's not how America works. We have a thing called freedom of religion -- of all religions -- even if we think they are stupid. You should be happy, anybody hasn't his own fan-club Hmm... good point. I never thought of it that way. :) Jeremy Falcon
