Do I even need to get
offended about this?
There are so many WAYS I could be
offended by this that I'm having trouble deciding which path
to take.
Let's take the easy one:
The United
States doesn't have regimes, and I resent the inferrence that
we do.

"It is my bizarre

the world not because they're vicious or stupid, as Mother
Culture teaches, but because they're terribly, terribly
deprived--of things that humans absolutely must have, simply
cannot go on living without year after year and generation
after generation. It's my bizarre theory that, given a choice
between destroying the world and having the things they
really, deeply want, they'll chose the latter. But before they
can make that choice, they must see that choice."

Suggesting
that crimes should be committed against an individual or
group, crimes that make that person's voice unable to be
heard, is implying that their views should NOT be heard, and
thus repressed. Arguing that the site should be hacked (and
thus disabled) is arguing that they should not be allowed to
have their views heard. This is suggesting a restriction of

Here are the rules:
1. Player One draws
his hand and plays an anti-US card.
2. Other players
tell Player One if he doesn't like the hand he is dealt, then
he can kindly leave the game. After all, if he hates the game
so much, why does he continue to play and be
miserable?
3. Player One then has a choice. He can play
the Race Card, the Poor Card, or the very powerful Freedom of
Speech Card. If playing the Freedom of Speech card, Player One
is allowed to play as many anti-US cards as he/she chooses
without penalty.
4. Play continues until the other

YK - you forgot the most
important rule to Go Liberal!
When you first play a
card you must immediately check with each player around the
table to make sure they are in no way offended by the card you
have played. Pay special attention to the opinions of
non-Caucasian players. If any player expresses discomfort or
is beset with repressed memories by the card you played, you
must play another card, which must again be fully checked to
make sure it is wholly
inoffensive.

Is it ironic to invoke free
speech to defend speakers who think that the execs of networks
giving coverage the speakers don't like are war
criminals?
I suppose. But then, free speech has been
used to protect Nazis, Klansmen, and others who would
vigorously and gleefully restrict the speech of others, so I
suppose it is a tired irony by now.
Maybe we should
also invoke freedom of the judiciary to defend the labeling as
war criminals of any judges who make decisions one doesn't
like. Of course, THAT's a hallmark of freedom-lovers
everywhere. ![[Roll Eyes]](cardsforumgonegold_files/rolleyes.gif)

Very well
said. Or the analogy I was going to use was if you don't like
the books a library is lending out, just blow up the library.
Hacking a site to prevent anyone from viewing it is no
different. If someone hacked GG as a statement against
“violence” in video games, I am sure many of us would be
feeling a bit miffed about it. Also, unless you are a Nielson
Family (lol, when I lived in PDX my wife and I were one long
ago), turning the station does not do economic harm to the TV
station. Hacking this site would clearly do economic harm to
involved parties (they are selling these cards right?). Just
out of curiosity Mike, would you condone and/or advocate the
hacking of said website? And if yes, are you claiming such
actions would not restrict the speech of the owners of said
web site? Did you also think free speech was unharmed when Al
Jazeer was hacked and no English speakers could access the
site for days? Thanks for clarifying.
Back on topic, I
found the cards pretty damn funny and wasn’t surprised a site
like that would release such a thing (they obviously have
their opinion on the war). I just saw it as a form of
political speech done as satire. Nothing wrong with
that.
