In fact, whether you *understand* it or not, actually, since you have demonstrated with your slurring and sniping and rails against child pornography that you don't understand what the first amendment actually means or why it is important. > > It > > often surprises me how big news stories in the US/world(1) never make it to > > this group, instead we talk about how much morals a stone can have. "how many morals" or "how much morality" would be the correct usage, I think. This would be because *you* dragged the conversation there, I think. In my view it was you that narrowed the focus down to sparring over what amoral means because you'd rather do that than admit you were caught in a contradiction. How like you to then complain about it, Scott. > > http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/world/europe/newsid_1402000/1402880.stm > > Wow!.. Is this really a big news story? I didn't expected that. I'd characterise it as significant! It's bad news for democracy to ban political parties (or make the playing field uneven, as it is in the US), even ones that are advocating non democratic courses. (that is why banning the Communist party was wrong back when the US did it) Was it something you were aware of already, Selçuk? That is, did it make the Turkish press? And how does the Turkish press reporting contrast with the BBCs? My view of the Turkish press (based on nothing at all other than gut feeling and some superficial reading) is that it's not particularly free.
