I think that sometimes people are a bit too sensitive. Without wishing to
put down people with genuine problems (being stalked online by real
nutters), I think the current knee jerk legal reactions are over the top. I
would rather risk having an idiot try to insult me under a pseudonym than
have the government interfere in my life more than they already do.

You are only about three orders of magnitude off on the count.

It is a HUGE problem, dipshit, and your blindness to that fact is
almost as appalling as the DonkTARD's obvious US hating attitude.,
considering that you would wish for us to consider you intelligent,
and knowledgeable.

you just shot that premise all to hell, chucko.

Pull that one out from between your cheeks and chew on it.

All of Islam (read the moslems) believe that all others that are not
moslem are "infidels" and that killing them is not, nor should not be
a crime.

I have a problem with that. Do you not have a problem with that?

Simply not so. Hitler didn't want war with Britain in the first place.

It was good while it lasted. At least with the US and USSR being governed by
reasonably sane people, the prospect of nuking another country was almost
zero. Now, people are suggesting the US will go to war with a country which
will have no way of properly defending itself without resorting to nukes. If
NK does detonate any type of nuclear weapon against America, will the US
restrain its response? Will the American public allow the nations military
to continue to fight a conventional war? If I thought the US would invade, I
would hope they would. (If that makes any sense).
