I am all for giving people a 2nd chance, but let me remind everyone ... Torture, American Style nytimes.com EXCERPT: "Any government that commits, condones, promotes or fosters torture is a malignant force in the world. And those who refuse to raise their voices against something as clearly evil as torture are enablers, if not collaborators. There is a widespread but mistaken notion in the U.S. that everybody seized by the government in its so-called war on terror is in fact somehow connected to terrorist activity. That is just wildly wrong." Anyone who voted for Bush and wants a 2nd chance should APOLOGIZE to America and this thread.

Orca: It is my understanding that the ignore feature is for that person only who uses it. What about the rest who visit the thread. I think there is no reason whatsoever for someone to be derogatory or write in a manner which ridicules one's personality or religion or nationality. As much us we advocate the right to free speech, I think we should also ensure that these rights do not encroach on the rights of others to have a free a wholesome discussion without the fear of ridicule and personal insults and attacks.
