I see. So because someone pointed out a mistake and because they are Canadian and took offense..... that makes them evil and hating Fox News. Thus they can't be offended, post the mistake and say so.
wow...... so much for freedom.
Even though most of the time I find Ben to be very fair (although at times he is more to the right than I) and about as neutral (as far as partisanship goes) as they come on this board.

2. The avatar is a politcal statement. Me and my family have experienced true racism and discrimination, so please spare me the lecture. Youre white and come from a privilaged background and wouldnt know what racism really is if it hit you square in the face.

And you have proof I never experienced racism????? You have proof my life has been priveleged?
BTW there was no lecture it was my OPINION. And I stood up for your right to keep it. Yet you turn my opinion and personally attack me?

3. This is a private website and thus there is no freedom of speech. The owner and mods have granted people here that freedom and we should all be thankful for that privledge.

True, but Hal and the mods do a damn good job of protecting our right to speak freely. If they didn't I have a feeling your avatar would have been gone.
I find it offensive and racist but you know what..... I accept and respect your right to hold whatever beliefs and whatever meaning you care to put on that avatar.
Yet, you refuse me the same respect by attacking me for my beliefs and saying what I feel about it.... interesting.
