As soon as you define "master" I'll chime in. as for basic survival skills? we are seeing more people killing themselves under good canopies than when in clean freefall (or causing bad canopies due to bad body flight)...... ...

Environmentalism should have as much to do with our political system as it does with mathematics or physics. That is to say, none.

No. I don't think they should be forced up any more than they should be forced down. I leave the choice to iTunes. If they want to put them up they should. If they don't they don't. what about rape or paedophilia lyrics? (just wondering where your 'free speech' boundaries are) that's 2 separate questions.... the first is what about the limits of what JC thinks iTune should choose to put up if it were up to him? the second is a 'free speech' boundary question - that implies something COMPLETELY different - and that's the question of where should the government step in and draw a line if it were up to JC. The 2nd is an interesting question and I believe it dovetails into how responsible is any private industry in the offerings of items that are perceived as 'over the edge' and can they offer those items in a way that's not equivalent to shouting FIRE in a public theator (to use a tired and worn out phrase associated with the topic). Even so, if a company is irresponsible in their offerings, the private sector should have the first responsibility to effect change to their policies (via market forces or direct campaigns) LONG before we should ever consider any type of government intervention. the problem with the gov intervention, is they just cannot differentiate between acting on a real and confirmed threat to public safety vs placating the public by acting on a perceived-only threat to public safety. Government is not driven by reality, it's driven by feelings and perceptions. That's why it's so incredibly inefficient, no business should be run on PR effect for the decision makers only. ...

AMAZING - religion is the original and ultimate POLITICAL structure. seriously, Q for that matter - every large organization is about politics regardless of what you personally think their stated charter is. I find just as many hypocrits in chuck's list too (ACORN, etc). this voting block is no different than any other - you'll find people join your PACs for non-logical, farcical and goofy reasons just as those in organized churches join also for support of the myth, or to meet others, or to find a group or community to be in, etc seems that people that agree that religion is a myth would agree with me that a church is just a power structure with the same motivations and goals as any other power structure or organized effort - they just have a specific recruiting technique (not unique, many of the PACs have a 'believe us without proof or else' methodology as well, they just aren't as practiced at it yet) ...

Re-reading, yes, those who advocate removal would seem to fall under your 2nd category. /Marg I think so. It looks like they are taking private action with the company, rather than forcing legislation through government. ...

I think you're pointing out an example of what I thought was the 2nd method of response - which I thought was acceptable. what I can't tell from your post is whether any of the "sides" in your post is helped or hindered by government policy or law that is targetted to help or hinder - that's where I'd believe the gov would be crossing the line for a commercial industry. If youtube has a private policy, then that's their business - whether I agree with it or not. ...

agreed, but this thread isn't about racism, it's about you race baiting so you're saying the lyrics aren't racist? sure they are - can't you tell? If so, trust me, they are racist. I didn't know it was such a simple minded thread. I thought this was a thread about what's acceptable ways to address the problem. Not just whether we all agree that the lyrics quoted are in bad taste. ...

Actually, Clinton wrote the lyrics first, but then Bush tried to rewrite them and screwed it up so bad that Obama is now writing hate-music in order to fix up the rhymes that Bush messed up so bad.

Now we can look forward to various posts of hate music written and performed by people of all backgrounds (politics and races - this junk and certain rap offerings come to mind) and start the who's worse than the other posts. I think that under the guise of 'free speech' and 'art' () there is a LOT of dispicable messages that are put out there. 1 mechanism - we respond by not buying any of this trash - then iTunes will make the better business decision to delete all offerings of this type. a good method 2nd mechanism - if people of conscience protest and write iTunes about it, then maybe they'll pull the music from their offerings anyway. another good method 3rd method - the only solution we have to avoid is the government getting involved. terrible response does this take a non-topic and give it somewhere to go? ...

It's YOUR thinking that is backwards. I think you both are wrong. and you both are right. we have two separate and identifiable problems. 1 - employers that hire illegally 2 - workers the take illegal jobs both are guilty, both are wrong, and the guilt of 1 does not excuse the guilt of the other if we don't pursue and enforce the laws broken by both groups, then any partial solution will not work ...

Not very Christian of you Ron. Or..... it's a statement of hope that the next guy (the next 'generation' if you will - the 'kids') will exceed Ted's contributions to society even more. As a parent, we always want our kids to exceed our abilities and do even better than we did. I think it's a great statement.

do what government does - guilt to get the tax increases voted in - then take it or other governments - just take it But that's government - my point is that how would an atheist movement (parallel to/organized similar to an established religion) force their members to 'voluntarily' give? tell them that money is just a figment of their imagination I guess or get them to give for "green" reasons (ooops, that's another false guilt based religion - can't count it) I'm out of ideas - your true atheist won't care enough to donate, and the 'religious' atheists are too busy trying to belittle everyone else that they'll forget to sign the checks (I like that phrase - "force their members to voluntarily give" - government and religion are SO similar it scares me) ...
