First Florida, now South Carolina. Legislators talk about "I Believe" tags.A South Carolina House subcommittee is discussing a bill that would create a new license plate for Christians.

It would have a cross with the words "I believe" on the tag. The same tag stirred quite a controversy in Florida legislature. If such a license plate is approved, it would be the first to feature a religious symbol. Opponents say it violates separation of church and state, and makes it seem as if the state encourages a particular religion.

NAMBLA is a left-wing organization.

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

It will. It's not the software. The problem lies with a person deleting a topic which already has 20 replies. If it can be only one way or another, I'd rather the poster not be able to delete a topic and let them contact a mod to move/delete/merge.
