since no amount of whining by Kass will get every one of those SMAC quotes in (and i imagine that Markos doesn't want to sift through and pick out the ones he likes) here's a few of the good ones...

code:
God does not play dice. -- Albert Einstein % Einstein would turn over in his grave. Not only does God play dice, the dice are loaded. --Chairman Sheng-Ji Yang, "Looking God in the Eye" % To understand a thing, is to know the manner by which it might be destroyed. A fundamental understanding of the universe is essential then, to the total destruction of everything. --Foreman Domai, "One Tool, One Thought" % You are the children of a dead planet, earthdeirdre, and this death we do not comprehend. We shall take you in, but may we ask this question--will we too catch the planetdeath disease? -- Lady Deirdre Skye, "Conversations with Planet" %

Ok I'm not sure if this whole quote thing will work but this is my favourite one and I hope it will be included. Because it can be very useful for people who want to go through doors but always ran against it and get heavy injuries the whole time so this quote can be lifesaving.

The scary thing is, I can actually remember all of that mnemonic...

On a more serious note, I think this should go into the quotes:

And a funny story: When I activated my account from the email I got the quote "It doesn't matter how you do it, what matters is that you do it." or something like that. I'm still not sure whether that was a coincidence or not...

Increase Your PM Length

I think Hitler quates are appropriate here. Because most of them aren't based on fascism/holocaust/anti-semitism (except "ein vok ein reih, ein fuhrer" and maybe one about Chamberlain for a lesser extent). They are just like quoutes said by many other people. I have these quoutes as sigs in many forums and people doesn't knows who said them and they thinks that sigs are very good... And again, Stalin, Mao killed more people then Hitler. I believe 100% middle ages/ancient rulers would also fit in "bad" rulers category, because they used tortuings, ordered armies to kill people, etc. Many of XX age rulers and great politicians also would be "bad" (Mussolini, Tojo, Franco, Castro, Saddam, Omar, Truman to name a few) but this doesn't means we shouldn't use their quoutes.
If however quote is anti-humanic, propagandic (like, for example, "Jews are definitely a race, but they are not human", said by Hitler) I do agree it shouldn't be included. But if qoute have nothing to do with leaders' "bad" sides, then it should be apropriate to include them in my opinion.
As for Sharon quote... Well, I am not American so I don't believe local anti-semitics would care about that...

This article is my source:

http://www.duke.org/writings/10-03-01.shtml

scroll down a bit and you'll see that quoue...

BTW, I know from what site it is, so there is no reason to insult it again (it was very much disucussed already). I don't think that site makes up facts though (it is anyway not written which years October 8th exacly, so I though it is 2001 because article is about septerber 11th and it is written in late 2001. However, it could be also 2000 or 1999 maybe).
