Well, the freedom of speech also includes those cases. But, in those situations, the freedom of life and personal security supersedes the freedom of speech. Everyone with half a brain (at least, outside US) knows that.

Posted in: Does freedom of speech include the right to yell "Fire!" in a crowded theater, yell "Shark" at a beach or joke about having a bomb on a plane, for example?

Speaking as an European, I think most Americans have been manipulated during the Cold War to think for themselves when the word "socialism" comes up. Socialism is, in fact, a more fair economic system and, although it can't be applied to every government section (at least, not without rigorous controls to avoid corruption and demagogy), it should be used to warrant the basic needs of the population.

nutsagain, what you have described is called Cafeteria Christianity. If the Bible is the "word of god" (as the Bible itself says) you have to accept everything, even the lapidation for working on saturdays.

“Takahashi is not interested in capturing a yeti, he just wants to get a clear picture of it, and maybe shake its hand,” said Koyama.

Aaawww... so heart-warming.

"(...) focusing on an area they are convinced is home to the legendary creature."

That's exactly what this kind of expeditions need; focus. No more blurry photos of a yak.

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will eat for the rest of his life.

With the current statu quo more money won't solve anything, it will be redirected to corrupt politicians, tribe leaders and/or militiamen (also increasing the inflation rate). A big social reform is needed and it can only be achieved through education.

Dehumanization now begins in the cot. That's progress.
