The military...
Just hard for me to imagine a Drupal developer accepting a gig whose fundamental purpose is to recruit teenagers to ship off to Iraq and Afghanistan.
The subject of "where should the line be drawn" came up once before, with respect to a site that some people felt promoted hatred towards Muslims (http://drupal.org/node/14561).
While my own story would get really long-winded to try and explain in its entirety, the subject made me nervous because I run a site that could be construed as a "hate site" as well -- the idea is antithetical to the purpose of the site, in reality, but at the time the subject had come up, there was already a history of similar sites being shut down under similarly false pretenses.
So certainly its something that I'm sensitive to.
And the reference to "white people" was a rather feeble attempt at humor, just for the record. I happen to be a honky, myself.
(I am going to post a link to this in the general forum on drupal.org -- I think this is important enough that it should be called to the attention to the wider community at large).
