StinkyJim farts... "I remember a guy who, when showed a picture of his hovel, adamantly denied living there. Imagine that." Why would you channel the two worst losers to ever grace this newsgroup. That would be Scott Secord Dickson and his MiniMe from Connecticut. Do you miss them that much? Don, most of us see nothing of slammer until you answer his posts. If I had to choose a person to go boating with, you'd better believe it would be Scott over youi any day of the week. At least he didn't act like a 12-year-old. -- Ban idiots, not guns! |

As soon as you let the government decide which speech is worthy of protection and which is not, you are on your way to a dictatorship. Bull****. I bet you were not saying that when guys like me were still defending the rights of the protestors in the 60s, right up until they started blowing stuff up. I disagreed with what they said but I understood they still had the right to say it. It seems that the left is actually the least tolerant of anyone else's views. You only have to look at a college campus now to see that. In our lifetime we have witnessed a transformation of the USA from a creative, resourceful nation populated with people who demonstrated self initiative, responsibility and accountability. Those classic values have been replaced with a dependence on "government" to provide for and take care of all. That mentality also comes through loud and clear among the young college students. They don't know any better because they don't know anything else. It's only us old farts that remember what it was like 40-50 years ago. Sad. My next door neighbor's son graduated college last year. He's been laying about her house and he isn't looking for work and doesn't volunteer to do any chores around the house. She doesn't know what to do with him. So she's enrolling him back in school. That'll make him so smart he'll be over qualified for any job he's capable of doing. What a life! When my daughter graduated high school she went to George Mason University. At the end of her first year she was on probation because she played around too much. Told her I wasn't going to foot the bill for that anymore, and that she could go to a community college and get her grades up. She wanted to just hang around the house - no job and no college, much like the kid you mentioned. I told her she could stay, but it would cost her $250 a month for food and lodging if she wasn't going to school. She moved out, and moved in with a bunch of other girls in a townhouse. That lasted a bit over three months. She then decided to go to community college, got her grades up to a 3.0 average, got accepted to George Mason's nursing program and became a nurse. Sometimes a bit of 'tough love' is called for. -- Ban idiots, not guns! |

Sure hope it doesn't spill over the border when y'all implode. What is hate speech? To Harry, it is anything against Democrats. To a LGBT it is anything not supporting their stance. Be very careful about banning any speech. China will kill you for anti government speech. What does Canada ban? And once again you prove you don't know what you are talking about. You've shown your knowledge of the subject with your answer. What *does* Canada ban? Do you not consider your continuous attacks on Christians 'hate speech'? In this country, it's illegal to make true threats and incite imminent crimes against anyone and for any reason. I'd expect the same is true in Canada. Calling you an asshole, in Canada, is probably not 'hate speech'. When you talk of hate speech here, to what are you referring? Does anyone here call worse names than you do? I'm sure I'm not 'entitled' to a response...which is the cowards way out of responding, eh Krause? -- Ban idiots, not guns! |

Just ask FlaJim, Alex, and the rest of the right-wing assholes. Says a guy who posts under the pseudonym of a homicidal maniac. When I first started posting here and for years afterward, I posted with my real name and email addy. I've made no effort to conceal my actual identity here, unlike the assholes I mentioned.
