Blocking users due to their race, gender, sex and religious belief is illegal and its prejudice. Even if Facebook is free they still have to follow the certian laws and that happens to be one of them. Facebook is treading on a very slippering slope here. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Lisa]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 27th 2010 3:34PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Facebook's Arab Problem?

Would you call the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) prejudice because they exclude everyone but the black race? What about the website Black Voices on aol? I would think if I started a website I shouldn't have to allow everyone to visit my site, especially if I wasn't sure what ulterior motives they have. What if facebook got sued because people were offended by the propaganda that this Arab web page was trying to shove down our throats? What if al-qaeda wanted to start a web page? Political correctness will be the undoing of America. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Marit Londeaux]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 27th 2010 5:22PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Facebook's Arab Problem?

Have you ever heard of freedom of expression? It is only under certain circumstances where it is against the law. A website is not one of those. Facebook is not racist, and if the did become racist, I would consider leaving. That is my choice, as well as the choice of anyone else using the free service.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[pooonshu]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 27th 2010 6:41PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Facebook's Arab Problem?
