Interesting.  Every pro-establishment mole always dismisses everything
negitive suggested about the government also.  There are paranoid 
lunatics, but that doesn't mean that there also aren't lots of real
problems.  Burying your head in the sand doesn't make them go away.

My comments weren't intolerant.  Unlike you, I wasn't suggesting that
people should or should not include anything in their messages.
Again, you're imposing your faults on me.

Different situations.

Well, unlike you, I actually provided examples and info.  All you do is 
try to tear others down.  Why don't you try engaging in a conversation
instead of in a mindless attack/critique?  That's what freedom of
speech is for.  (Mindless attacks are protected, but aren't nearly 
as productive.)
