At the risk of responding to a post which has a good probability of being a troll I will at least say that the above opinion may be that of several members, but the fact is the list has evolved, it never had an original defined purpose, at least not one easily put into words, and applauding murder of government agents is a part of the whole strong crypto privacy and liberty ethic.
Bullshit. Applauding murder has nothing to do with strong crypto privacy or liberty.
Yes it does, if one has a strong moral sense about things like individual rights and privacy, and the government attempt to deny the people these rights, the government have commited a great wrong, it is only to be expected that the natural response is to encourage their removal. I find it amazing how many people support the punishment of murderers and kidnappers in society at large, but exempt from this the particular group of people composing the government.
As for white supremacy, look elsewhere, I think you`ll find Tim`s post an example of what the developed world knows as humour, not a serious attack on any ethnic group.
Tim's post is an example of what the RACIST world knows as humor, Paul. Racism isn't an intellectual phenomenon, it is a gut phenomenon. Frequently it manifests itself in humor.
Oversensitivity, plain and simple, I find some racist jokes funny, I am not racist.
