JohnRich 4 #4 August 4, 2008 QuotePerhaps they don't believe that the right to freedom of speech should be infringed. What harm can come from a little government regulation? If it's good for guns, it's good for speech too, right? I say REGISTER COMPUTERS! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Of course computer sales at computer swap meet will have to end. Ditto for casual sales between private owners. All sales must be through licensed dealers. If that doesn't work.....?

If it's good for guns, it's good for speech too, right? I say REGISTER COMPUTERS! Well, hell, when they wrote the Bill of Rights, they had never seen a semi-automatic handgun! So those aren't protected by the 2nd Amendment. And when they wrote the Bill of Rights, they had never heard of electronic devices whatsoever, let alone personal computers small enough to be carried around all day that can read untold millions of people with propaganda and lies. Surely they are not protected by the 1st Amendment, written by people who could never have known what the future would bring.Spirits fly on dangerous missions Imaginations on fire Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
birdlike 0 #8 August 4, 2008 QuoteIn the 10-minute video, apparently recorded in a shower stall, a man identified as Trashman said Gerber employees acting at his direction had poisoned millions of bottles of baby food with the intent to kill babies. I hope that after his criminal trial, Gerber sues him and owns the next $50,000,000 he might ever make. He should be made a slave to Gerber because he can probably never repay, in a hundred of his lifetimes, the amount that Gerber no doubt lost due to this malicious hoax.Spirits fly on dangerous missions Imaginations on fire Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If the 2nd Amendment should only apply to government militias, then the 1st Amendment should only apply to government-approved professional journalists. We just can't trust millions of ordinary Americans with the power of free speech to an audience of millions via a personal computer. What the heck are we thinking?

billvon 3,080 #13 August 4, 2008 You know, I think any law-abiding sane adult should be able to buy a gun. But comparing computers to firearms just makes you look silly. It's like comparing skydiving to playing a Wii, and arguing that if you don't have to have a reserve parachute to play a Wii you shouldn't need one to skydive.

This type of thread shows the naivete of the anti-2nd folks - they want to make more and more restrictions against a right and think that those same restrictions WON'T be used against other rights.Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim.

Beside the fact that internet computer users/usage are/is tracked. How do you think they found this asshole! IPA & server &PC footprints. The very same way they nail so many of the stupider internet pedophiles. It's pretty pathetic when you have to TELL people you're fucking cool Skymama «narrative»This thread will lock in 3..2..
