Down here in Texas when we see an animal with the hydrophoby (rabies) we usually shoot it to put it out of it's (and ours) misery and to protect the public. The people we still take to hospital to try to save. I'm afraid that all that foaming at the mouth may choke dear Alexis. I have read your posts and have noticed that, when faced with a challenge, your typical response is to call names or accuse the other person of being black. You, by your own words, have shown yourself to be the biggest racist of this site and maybe the biggest in all of Texas (and that's goshdarned big, pardnuh) Sincerely "Slim" Evil or Very Mad

mogsfan:

some articles deal with foreign policy, others deal with the illuminati stuff.

imo about foreign policy you can have discussions. You can have different points of view about what should be done. when it comes to this illuminati stuff what can we speak about?

these theories create the impression humanity is ruled by a small elite, and we can do nothing about it. ( btw, you also believe they're reptilians?) A concept in which the powerless are ruled by the omnipotent does not create any possibilities of change. I even think that if it was true, by believing it, you only play them in the cards, as it degrades your own confidence and clear and productive thinking how to change this world. So i think all discussion about these theories are pretty useless. It will only end in a discussion whether it is real or not and not into a discussion about actual policies, possibilities

you say Russians must become aware of this.

Considering foreign policy, I believe Putin is a very able man ( a lot better than governing russia itself) There will be few agenda hidden from him. So must they become more aware?

Considering conspiracy theories, i think there is no people that are more convinced that their own government is infiltrated by foreigners than Russians. Russian people through history have always believed in the evil intentions of: jews, masons, catholics, protestants, scientology etc.... No need for a foreigner to come and learn them about that.

Dmitri, either you move lock this up & delete and Alexesis can move this discussion to unmoderated forum or you may be liable for what she says. By just moving this, you also admitted that you have editorial review on this matter. She is making WW look great.

E. BULLETIN BOARDS, INFORMATION SERVICES, CHAT ROOMS

Before enactment of the American Communications Decency Act there were two key “judge-made” American decisions addressing the liability of Website sponsors for bulletin boards, information services and chat rooms which may contain defamatory content. These two seminal American cases were: Cubby, Inc. v. CompuServe Inc. (hereinafter the “CompuServe case”) and Stratton Oakmont, Inc. v. Prodigy Services Co. (hereinafter the “Prodigy case”). The cases have now been overtaken in American law by the Communications Decency Act but they remain significant for other jurisdictions not governed by that Act.

In the first of these cases, CompuServe subscribers could access a newsletter with the unfortunate name “Rumorville”. The defendant CompuServe did not review the content of this newsletter prior to making it available to CompuServe subscribers. The court ruled in favour of the defendant, in effect deciding that CompuServe could avail itself of the “innocent dissemination” defence discussed above with reference to e-mail. Although an American case, the decision does not appear to turn on the First Amendment but, rather, on the bounds of defamation law. The trial judge found that CompuServe had no more editorial control over the content at issue than would a public library, a bookstore or a newsstand. In effect, CompuServe prevailed because it was able to disprove any negligence on its part, that is, any circumstance which ought to have put them on notice that Rumorville contained potentially defamatory material. (See discussion of the case at Brown, p. 7-62 and Gatley, p. 147, note 74.) It is submitted that the “innocent dissemination” defence is an unsatisfactory basis to exonerate an information service, bulletin board, chat line, etc. If the plaintiff had put CompuServe on notice of the allegation that the content was defamatory, then CompuServe’s innocent status would evaporate and it would find itself with the choice of suppressing the content based on unsubstantiated allegations, on the one hand, or performing the function of an editor, on the other hand, a task for which it might be badly unsuited.

The Prodigy case also arose in the United States and involved a bulletin board. Prodigy operated a bulletin board called “Money Talk”, which permitted subscribers to post statements regarding markets and investments. A user repeatedly posted an accusation on the bulletin board that the plaintiff had been fraudulent in connection with a stock offering. Prodigy had stipulated guidelines for users and had reserved the right to edit postings. It had not only installed software to screen postings, but also supplied a monitor who supervised bulletin board postings. Users were notified of both the software screening and the ability of the monitor to edit or remove postings. On these facts, on preliminary interlocutory motions, the court ruled that Prodigy was, in fact, performing the role of a “publisher” and not that of an innocent disseminator.

The Prodigy case, following, as it did, the CompuServe case, led critics to conclude that the operator of a bulletin board or information service would not be liable if there was no editorial control attempted, but would be liable if the attempt was made and failed, no matter how reasonable the attempt.

Alexis, if I were a therapist I would be pretty safe in saying to u that U were done very wrong by a black person, of someone in your family. For that I am truly sorry. But u cannot judge everyone by that 1 or series of events.
For example a friend of mine in "The nation of Islam here in VA let me read a newsletter that they put out & they reffered to us white people as your slavemasters sons, which by the way offended me. This is what I told him. I have been robbed twice in my life. Both times by a black man/men, so using his logic I should hate all black people. After telling him that he looked at history in a different light.
But the point that I am trying to get to is, if you don't take people on a individual basis then you yourself will always be a miserable instead of making them miserable. All of your time that u spend hating is time that u cannot ever get back so if you want a good life expect the best in people & your life will always fulfilling.

Thank You
