Farhad - you did notice that the guy picked up ONE kid out of a group under a roof, and deposited him (still sitting) in the open? Maybe you meant to say "Hamas kills Palestinian children by removing them from shelter".

So according to the same logic, we should not sift videos posted by Al-Qaeda because they're in a conflict with the U.S.
Or videos from police cars because they were released by a government entity.

Indeed, the only sift worthy source are home videos. Provided they're not actually viral videos from an ad agency.

rougy - so the way the Palestinians have bombed this generation of Israelis is ok, right? As long as the Palestinians are fine, all is well.

Is it green? yes. very.

Upvote for the collective "ouch" heard from the crowd when the ATV hits the guy. Even if it's in poor taste.

When MP George Gallaway will agree to end Ireland's occupation, I'll listen to his opinions about occupation in the middle east. As for his justifications for Ahmandinajad, I suggest he get better translators -

Weird. In many places they sell plastic ice bags - you just fill it with water (tap, mineral or flavoured), tie it off and stick it in the freezer. How is this better?!

fine.
By popular acclaim, I removed the nsfw tag...

Upvote for showing the left wing's true opinion about the freedom of speech.

There was one off-colour sentence somewhere in the middle...

New York is a special case - the cops handling those events are usually not the regular "beat cops". It appears that these are officers trained for anti-riot activity, and they use a LOT of violence at any point of disorder.
Since some of the critical mass people are known for baiting cops, it could be that the cop was responding to something off camera - e.g. the rider throwing something or hitting an off-camera cop - since the first rule is NEVER let anyone who assaults or insults the police get away. That's one of the reasons NY today is safer then it was 15 years ago...
On the other hand, a lot of those cops are sadistic assholes (unlike most beat cops).
In either case, don't expect the truth to come out at court - everybody is too well practiced for it to happen. Instead, just assume that a regular risk of protesting in NYC is broken bones and arrest.

One of the problems with the existing proofs for global warming is that the data they are relying on is not always correct.
A good website is http://wattsupwiththat.wordpress.com/ - it's a blog that covers the weather news from a skeptic scientist's view. A good example post is this one -

If you follow his blog, or go directly to the photo gallery in http://surfacestations.org/odd_sites.htm - it's not surprising that (some) measurements show warming trends when the thermometers are placed next to heating vents. Or in the middle of parking lots.
