Well sure if you believe that's how it happened. Or, he was against releasing, but was overridden (by Cook perhaps), then refused to apologise because it wasn't his mistake... The reality is, we don't, and probably won't know. Seems strang

So I'll paraphrase what you just wrote: France is having some problems that (i think) support my case, and I saw that Australia has some unrelated racism issue, so I concluded that France's healthcare system and Australia's healthcare syste

A bit silly... except you replaced it with another qualification that essentially says the same thing. - Most people don't live "in the west". - Thus universal truths, better apply to them too!

You aren't consistent in the point you are trying to make, which lends me to believe you believe in your side beyond reason. People have stated that universal health care has and does work in other countries. Check out Australia's economy,

While I agree with your post. Blasphemy is also there to encourage respect of ideas you don't necessarily agree with/believe. It's an overly blunt tool, but I think there is a part that is useful.

I'm amazed at the hubris shown towards a civilisation that has existed far longer than your own. Please reflect more on this. Your "solution" to this problem is just to oversimplify everything and solve these simple problems. A clear flag,

It's called a 'Private Message'. Seems to be misusing the word private. The gmail analogy is a little off, a closer one would be to compare to gtalk. Do google scan gtalk messages? Also what if the message is "This is so crap: <link&#

So you've rallied against the articles points from a logical point of view. But do you have any evidence that helmet use decreases (severity of) injury? From the evidence I've seen, requiring helmets lowers cycle usage, which in turn lowers

In the US, the Jewish people were never disenfranchised the way African-Americans were/are. I don't think they are comparable. Why can't we admit the problem exists and work to reverse it. i.e give discriminated against minorities a chanc

Oh I see, because they are disadvantaged and thus achieve less, we should disadvantage them... that'll make the world a better place. That's why those people who believe that are wrong.

If artists couldn't make money on selling people (the right to listen to "their") songs, would they abandon their artistry? Is it a sense of entitlement? or is it a rejection of the monetization of culture?
