Greg_W Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 Right on, Mike! Fuck you, liberal assclown motherfuckers. How does one debate this point of view, Greg? That is an undebatable fact of the cosmos, dude. There's nothing I can do to change it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fenderfour Posted September 1, 2004 Author Share Posted September 1, 2004 It's nice to assume that all conservatives are bible-thumpers. I will now assume that all liberals are animal sacrificing satanists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGowans Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 Beautiful. These arguments are being replicated all across the country while Dems and Reps take potshots at each other and drag the whole political process into the gutter. Whichever way you lean, there's no getting away from the fact that this election sucks. Two fraternities of middle aged white males acting out a drama over a period of months with nothing to be gained for anybody except themselves. Politics suck.

That's not quite true. We don't sacrifice endangered species. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catbirdseat Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 Gowans, politics may suck, but it is far preferable to the alternative, IMHO. There are those among us who may disagree. There was a time when all disagreements were solved through war. This still is the norm in many parts of the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan_Harris Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 . . .I have the right to be heard Hey protestors, learn the Constitution! You have the right to Free Speech. No one has the right to be heard. If people do not want to listen to the drivel they can walk away. Forcing them to "listen" by blocking traffic or whatever else infringes on other's rights means "Go to Jail." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apples and Oranges. China, no real rights at all to speak of, no real freedom. Protests upset the government and must be squashed! USA, many rights and freedoms, and protests are accepted and even embraced until they violate the rights of others. For civil disobedience look to Martin Luther King, Jr. or Ghandi, peaceful!

snugtop Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 I believe this thread was about protesters in NYC? My mom was there at a bunch of the marches, and said they were very peaceful. She also said Bloomberg has the police cutting off protests and cornering marches into dead-ends. Very Guilliani of him From the NYTimes today: "the New York Police Department has developed what amounts to a pre-emptive strike policy, cutting off demonstrations before they grow large enough, loud enough, or unruly enough to affect the convention. The demonstrators, too, have thus far been more restrained than many protesters were in recent protests elsewhere; five years ago in Seattle, for example, there was widespread arson and window-smashing, none of which has occurred here."

Cpt.Caveman Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 "there was widespread arson and window-smashing, none of which has occurred here." Good - maybe because the cops didnt let the hippies and misfits that like to blend in and cause destruction by cutting off the bullshit. Anybody that's fuckin protesting by walking down the middle of the street screwing up traffic or hogging up the sidewalk is infringing on my rights as well. Don't be so selfish it's a 2 way street and traffic is supposed to flow with vehicles so tell them losers to get out of the way before I make them into speed bumps. They should figure out how to whine without fucking everything up for other people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snugtop Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 Is that a bad thing? I'd say so. The First Amendment prohibits government from abridging "the right of the people peaceably to assemble." By taking a pre-emptive approach, the cops are doing just that.
