I've been trying to talk about what's appropriate not power struggles which is what I mean by taking it out of context.

Not at all, if you respond to force by giving in to it's demands, you're submitting yourself to more of it.

Revolutions are backlashes of force.  In this South Park/Muslim Revolution instance no force has been exerted.

It is impossible to respect everyone let alone everyone's beliefs.

I'm not sure you even read what I wrote here it is again: ...South Park at a moral high ground with more people than expressing a right to appease a smaller group.

So you're saying it's okay to threaten someone just as long as you don't disrespect their beliefs?

I had to come back to this quote.  I have no idea where you got this from but my answer:  No, I think threats are a rash emotional reaction and sometimes it's ok to disrespect someone's beliefs (immediate social level etc).

While it is true that enforcement is made to respond to violence and must increase it's ability to do so when the amount of violence increases in turn, it is not true that our freedoms need be restricted as a result of violence.

We agree here.

The problem with your logic is that you're saying it should be stopped at the level of the instigator and not at the level of the law-breaker.

Again you're saying "stopped" I advocate practicing restraint and it would have shown something of South Parks depth had they done so.

Law breakers do not always require a single instigator, but in any case where they are willing to break laws because of an instigator, the instigator is not at fault, the law breaker is responsible for their own actions.

This is not true by our laws.  Inciting a riot is unlawful in itself.  Fire in a crowded theater..yeah that's inciting.

An instigator could be someone walking down a sidewalk and being beaten to death simply because their presence instigated another. Do not deny the possibility of this scenario, this is a realistic scenario

It's a made up scenario not even an anecdotal one at that.  And again even by our laws and assuredly most people without knowing it, know that to walk down the street in itself is not instigating, inciting or unlawful.

Anyone can find anything offensive and/or a attack on their belief system.

I reiterate that I don't expect South Park to appease everyone but express some humility and not adhering to what everyone expects them to do.

I encourage you to play out a scenario where there was a press release with the creators of South Park saying 'Hey you know what maybe we'll just let this blow over for a while and release it later (on a DVD or something) because it's important to a lot of people not because we're afraid of attacks but it's a cartoon...'

I think it goes without saying that the people behind South Park are for freedom of speech.  If they're so enveloped in their rights to the extent of dying for  a 22 minute cartoon how much different are they than a religious extremist group willing to kill for a 1500 year old book.  I see respect in practicing restraint and defusing conflict not instigating.  Unfortunately some Americans think that all Muslims think like an extremist point of view and some Muslims think all Americans share South Park's perspective.  Whether TV personalities like Stewart and South Park want to admit it,  they have a much greater influence then I think they sometimes take responsibility for, usually referring to 'but there's puppets on our network'  or 'we're a cartoon with a dancing turd'.

You might think there's something on the site about it since they put a notice on wiki AND in the login screen.

5-6 years ago I found a Free Spirit probably made in the 80s, in a drainage ditch and it wasn't until the summer of 08 that I started riding it. Last fall the entire pedal mechanism fell off and is no longer repairable.
I went down to a bike shop in town and the mechanic said the same thing about those two bikes as far as the differences.  I spent a half hour in the store and walked away without any technical details about bike components.

What's a good bike for riding around the city?

This thinga-ma-jig arrived in the mail today.  I held out for as long as I could.  Last week they cut our 40 (watchable channels not like home shopping channels, Spanish and sports channels) down to about 20.  I have a twenty year old 12 inch tube TV. What's the point?

The ring binding was sweet mine are still like new.

tough outer exterior to make sure no one gets too close or might threaten your way of thinking using "i don't care" is convenient and shallow reminds me of kids in high schoool or socially/emotionally immature adults who try hard at something, fail and feel defeated whose response is "i don't care" so as to lessen a threat of their masculinity and emotions to adhere to often to an expectation from others

I disagree that it's common practice.  There's a lot of costs in the shipping business; fuel, unions, insurance, equipment maintenance, hazmat standards, customs etc.  If the price of shipping is high it's for the shipping company to make a profit.  If it's an item that you can buy in a store that's also available online for 5 dollars more because of shipping, the online seller has to lower the price to offset that price to the consumer and give a competitive price.  If it's a specialty item that can only be bought online because of it's rarity or it's simply not a retail market for it, then there's a lack of competition which increases the price.

Found another used books store in town today.  Their  sign says "We Buy & Sell Textbooks"  so I assumed it was just textbooks.  I went in looking to buy and sell textbooks, as it turns out they don't sell textbooks in the store but only online and they're shipped from their warehouse 25 miles from here.  Instead of textbooks in the store they have regular used books.  Got 5 books for 15 dollars (5 dollars of which supposedly went to a charity for Haiti).  Fuck B&N and they're delicious little confectioneries.
