Move your comments about the Patriot Act to Patriot Act; they are currently at George W. Bush. If you don't move them, you risk having someone delete them. Because of the computerized nature of this project, we are able to write things very concisely and link interested parties to more detailed text. The page is already getting too long, we try not to exceed 32k per page for technical reasons. Pizza Puzzle

Uh if you're worried about what your children can see on Wikipedia, there's a lot of stuff you're not going to like. :-) The asshole thing on George W. Bush is a relatively minor thing compared to some of what's out there. In general, Wikipedia strives for accuracy. The current policy is at Profanity. Of course, policy can be changed, and you're welcome to argue against it... Evercat

Children should arguabale stay away from the pictures of dead bodies, explicit discussions of non-traditional sexual practices, detailed discussions of modern torture methods, and the like. There are users who desire a non-profane version of the wiki - join the Mailing lists and discuss that there. Pizza Puzzle

Please familiarize yourself with NPOV. "Sadistic tyrants" is not neutral, because there are people who would disagree with that attribution. Whether the links should be there at all is also questionable -- how much does Uday Hussein have in common with Idi Amin? Why choose these and not other dictators? --Eloquence 15:48 24 Jul 2003 (UTC)

I included what I did about the Patriot Act because I thought the summary of the Patriot Act was biased an inaccurate. I will move my text, but I hope that somebody doesn't put a small definition about the Patriot Act that reads: "The Patriot Act gives the US government to search anyone's house without a warrant, and spy on all Americans, and etc." To those people who oppose the Patriot Act, hyperbole will not convince supports of the Patriot Act to change their minds. Rather, it will convince them that they are right since their opponents can't oppose the Act without lying about it.

Ok, I'll back off on "sadistic tyrants." even though I think that whether or not you think the U.S. is an imperialist rouge nation, it is objective fact that Saddam, Uday, Adolf, Pol Pot, and Joseph Stalin were all "sadistic", by any rational definition, and "tyrants", by any rational definition.

What does Uday have to do with Stalin? Well, they're both sadistic tyrants.

Still, it's not worth it.

I have moved the Patriot Act stuff to USA PATRIOT Act - the gwbush page should have no more than a short paragraph about it. Pizza Puzzle

We are following a policy of no opinion -- the argument that somebody is evil, or sadistic, or tyrannical is an opinion; no matter what. We are trying to write articles that a neo-Nazi (or Jihad Fanatic, or whatever) would not consider to be "biased propaganda". Pizza Puzzle

Yes, rebuttals are good. Pizza Puzzle

well, just don't think its perfect. everything here is far from perfect. but yes, i think its an ok article. Pizza Puzzle
