I try, I have a hard time remembering the proper names of the things in that bit. I've actually been banned from watching Ghostbusters, my wife and nephew were watching it and I kept wandering through the room and quoting the next line, kind of irked the little lady. I'm thinking of picking it up for when she's not around.

It doesn't really matter how you want to construe the language on the home page. Baloney - it's already in the public domain. If libel suits ever do take off like some of you would like, I fear for the survivability of many liberal rags in this country. :)

You hate the country of your birth,
Youd sell your soul to crush it.
You fight the things that made us great,
Your own demise please rush it.
The people put their faith in you,
Yes it was placed so poorly.
You will indeed soon be replaced,
They need a change so sorely.
So keep it up, your hate and scorn,
And New York soon will crack.
Oh by the way Ive heard that Satan,
Wants to buy his soul back

In Texas, they can do NEITHER....so let them come!
To: Chancellor Palpatine
Even when writing opinion, you can't state something as "fact" unless you can back it up. You can say "Bill Clinton lied under oath", or "Bill Clinton had sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky". That's okay. You can't say "Bill Clinton ordered Vince Foster murdered". You can say "I believe Bill Clinton ordered Vince Foster murdered".
A little trivia....the Supreme Court held that the libel laws extended to opinion pieces in Milkovich v. Lorain Journal. This was a case brought by the wrestling coach at my high school when a sportswriter accused him of lying under oath. Mike Milkovich was a legendary HS wrestling coach, but it's always seemed odd to me that a major Supreme Court precedent was named after a guy that rumored to grade term papers by weighing them in his hand. :)

Now.

So the threat worked on you huh?
I too have kids. But do I sell my soul for Playstation games or stand up for what is right?

Okay. Let me go a little slower.
All opinions posted here are the opinion of the poster.
Does this mean (a) IF something is an opinion , it is the opinion of the poster, not FR - OR (b) EVERYTHING posted on FR, whether it is a statement of fact, a chart, a picture, or an opinion, is MAGICALLY transformed into an opinion by virtue of a statement on the home page?
You don't have to answer. The answer is obvious.

Did you tell Jim you think it is a stupid post? Doesn't seem he agrees with that assessment! CP is trying to help this site and some of you trash him and the post. WHY?

Go ahead and believe that. Sure, you can say any ol' thing you like, as long as someone else said it first.

Okay, let's say I am sued for saying that Santa killed the Easter Bunny.
And, I know this isn't true.
In defending myself, I would have to PROVE that the statement I made is TRUE. Failing that, I would lose in court.
Innocent until proven guilty. THEY'd have to prove what you said wasn't true. They'd have to prove you wrong. Until then, Santa is assumed to have killed the Easter bunny.
If I post here, It's my opinion. Prove to the court it isn't. According to the bottom of the page, which agrees with me, it is my opinion. Where does it say it's not an opinion page?

I say we sue Ted Kennedy for saying the Iraq War was "cooked up in Texas". Let's see him prove it.
