Freedom of speech is EXACTLY protecting the speech you hate.

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.

Most of the righties here protect their hate speech by posting
"anonymously." 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. They're
cowards.


You were outed and it ****ed you off.

Amen.

Our push back seems to have an effect on him. Unfortunately it isn't
enough for him to mend his ways. I guess we keep at it.


As if I cared about what passes for thought among you right-wing

Musta slipped by your filters, eh?


That idiot reads *everything*. He can't help it - and he has a lot of
time on his hands.

My parents went the other way. I got my job at IBM pretty much the day
I got off active duty in the CG (still living at home) and they just
came in one day shortly after that and said "see ya, we are moving to
Florida" and handed me the lease.

You had a job!

Yup $435 a month and don't spend it all in one place ;-)

What year was that? In 1965 I had a summer job with Western Electric
installing central office telephone equipment in Binghamton, NY. With
over time and allowances was taking home over $200/week - thought I'd
died and gone to heaven. It was not easy work but it sure paid well
for a summer job in the 60s.

This was 66 and you must have gone to heaven.
IBM was underpaying me but the manager was smart about it. He gave me
a little raise every few months for a couple of years instead of just
giving it to me all at once.
They didn't actually pay me right until they got the request for a
reference from the Maryland State cops.
Suddenly I started making some money.

I distinctly remember paydays early in my Navy days on the first ship.
Every two weeks the crew lined up in and outside the mess decks to be
paid. When my turn came, I'd present my ID card and the dispersing
officer would hand me a small, manilla envelope with all $50 and some
change in it. We were paid in cash back then. Now-a-days everything
is direct deposit.
