Not for Scary, of course, but for more sane folks here, I must note just one sound reason for American exceptionism: it is the oldest continuously functioning democracy in the world (may be, except Switzerland). A quarter of millennia – very good test of stability and soundness. Most European democracies go to past no deeper then one generation. They were saved or created by US in WWII and now are moribund again.

I’ve often wondered how it is that you yanks justify your exceptionalism to yourselves. I mean do you really think that you’re special in some way? Its almost as if you have 3 strands of DNA and the rest of us inbreds only have 2. You really can’t see how self-destructive such a position can be to your own society, can you?

“BTW- well done on making the world such a safe place in the last 5 years. Since the 11th of September 2001 you have absolutely gone to town on fighting bad guys, toppling corrupt and dangerous regimes and making the whole world a lot safer place. Moreover you have totally convinced the world that the US Right is a political force to be reckoned with (not a farcical extremist sect at all, no!) and that you’re a really great bunch of people to share the planet with.”

Now THAT’S sarcasm, you fuckwits.

Furthermore, such bills chill free speech. You do not believe in “free speech”, no matter how much you think you do. You, as an atheist, should understand the long term ramifications of such a bill, you fool.

Actually, Nazis ban free speech. You should be ashamed of the bill, not proud.

Wow, you chaps are pretty backward when it comes to the web, hey?

Why would I want to shut the site down, Neo or banopus? I am a humanist and I believe in free-speech. I thank you, Neo, for the opportunity to berate the ignorants that haunt your blog.

FYI if this blog were hosted in the UK it would probably have been shut down by now because my government recently enacted a piece of legislation proscribing the incitement to hatred on the grounds of religion or race (The Racial and Religious Hatred Bill). Senescent Wasp would certainly not still be walking around at his own liberty.

You see, we deal very efficiently with Nazis over here.

“However a majority of Islam exists amongst developing countries and have no excuses for knowing better.”

Rudyard Kipling couldn’t have said it any better. What a maroon.

I feel better now.

Shame, he should have looked up “epithets of abuse” and “Godwin’s Law”. And then done some needed introspection.

You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him think. Ah, the callowness of youth.

Sorry, neo, but I getting a bit pissy at these types in my old age.
