A sign at a business establishment in Philadelphia, PA:
"WE WOULD RATHER DO BUSINESS WITH 1000 AL QAEDA TERRORISTS THAN WITH A SINGLE AMERICAN"
This sign was prominently displayed in the window of a business in Philadelphia. You are probably outraged at the thought of such an inflammatory statement. One would think that anti-hate groups from all across the country would be marching on this business... And that the National Guard might have to be called to keep the angry crowds back. But, perhaps in these stressful times one might be tempted to let the proprietors simply make their statement . . . We are a society who holds Freedom of Speech as perhaps our greatest liberty . . . And after all, it is just a sign. You may ask what kind of business would dare post such a sign?

Has your self-righteous indignation caused you to become a self appointed censor of the AW board?
You are one a of growing group of humorless critics that take offense at a gag or joke or rumor, that is ment to inject a little levity into a growingly hostile board.
If this gag, joke or rumor is contrary to your self imposed sense propriety, humor or opinion, you chose to lambast the initial poster of the thread.
This same growing group of individuals overreact to many of the gags, jokes or rumors that have been posted and accuse the poster of being politically incorrect, uncaring, insensitive or acting borish.
The point I am making (should you care) is that not everything in life or on this board is serious. Life is too short to take everything seriously.
