We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

What do you do when your family and friends have been deported, kicked off their land and out of their homes, denyed education and jobs, imprisoned unjustly, hauled off and murdered in the middle of the night for no reason other than their faith, colour, race etc. and all peaceful protests or calls for change are either ignored or met with violence? Doesn't leave you too many routes to go. Whether one is a terrorist, rebel, freedom fighter or soldier all depends on which side you're on. The Protestants had organizations just as brutal, just as indiscriminate in their actions and just as unlawful as the IRA, only the British turned a blind eye to them (and probably supported them in secret) because they were on their side. -- Carla, 13:19:45 10/19/07 Fri
