Ban on words

In light of the recent drop in thread quality and the daily barrage of Israeli/Palestinian conflict threads, I propose the Mod to ban the words listed below. Please feel free to add yours to complete the list.

- Israel, Israeli...

- Palestine, Palestinian...

- Terror, Terrorist, Terrorism...

- Homeland, Settlements, West Bank, Gaza Strip, Middle East...

- Suicide, Suiciders, Suicide Bombers, Bus...

- Sharon, Arafat, PLO, Hamas, Zionist, Yassin, Wheelchair...

- Security, Wall,

- Land for peace, Peace plan, Time table, Two state solution

It's not about these words, it's about the people who use these words. So ban the morons Much easier, much simpler, and besides, you know these words WILL eventually come up. Finally, it doesn't reek of censorship

I think you are joking, but censorship is never the answer. Many of the europeans on this thread are use to living with censorship so they probably will be all for it, as for myself, I'm a libertarian and believe that freedom is the most important rule of a government.

can you ban people for stupidity?

Posted by FuzzyGreen on Apr-06-2004 22:27:

why? were you banned?

Posted by Epicurus on Apr-06-2004 22:27:

Technically, you can do whatever you want and ban them for whatever offence, including stupidity. Of course, stupidity in certain people is their only quality and since we derive (perverse) pleasure from it because we get to trash them and laugh at them, they should no be banned.

(Note, of course, that I was messing around in my first post in this thread so I have NOT "changed my position").

with a ban in place posts would look like this, but I still think it would be an improvement
