personal attacks, you know, that was uncalled for. I am hardly the "perfect candidate for a Hummer or the repub party", and you damn well know that.


But be that as it may, where do you draw the line? Who decides what is "offensive" and what isn't, and what gives them the right to do so?

For example, when I was in college, I had a picture of a pro-choice march I had attended in D.C. on my door. One of the other residents complained about it because it "offended her pro-life sensibilities." In other words, it bothered her that someone held an opinion on abortion different from hers. The picture wasn't offensive (we're talking me with some friends standing on the mall with our pro-choice signs) but, because it disagreed with HER opinion, she wanted it taken down.

Yet, if she or anyone else had put up a pro-life sign, picture, etc., I would have had no problem with that even though I totally disagreed with it. So, where do you draw the line and who has the right to decide? THAT is the real issue.

Yes, of course, I see your point as far as racist postings and that type of thing, but that isn't the case here. Very few people would be dumb enough in this day and age to do that, anyway.
