Where is it written that you can say anything you want as long as you print a disclaimer or a warning? If whoever printed that original joke about putting JAPs in ovens where here I'd punch his face in. The problem with people is they take what idiots feed them because "it's a free country". I'm just curious: If your family was murdered and I joked about it, what would be your reaction? You'd probably turn the other cheek.... Dave Bloom
