These are blatant rhetorical questions, so qualify them with examples. I see . . . Perhaps you should take my earlier advise and try an ESL course. From your beloved Wiki: A rhetorical question is a figure of speech in the form of a question posed for its persuasive effect without the expectation of a reply (ex: "Why me?")[1] Rhetorical questions encourage the listener to think about what the (often obvious) answer to the question must be. When a speaker states, "How much longer must our people endure this injustice?", no formal answer is expected. Rather, it is a device used by the speaker to assert or deny something. I am asking for an answer, and it is not obviou, obviously.I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billvon 3,133 #8 May 24, 2010 >Or . . . how much freedom of speech do you think we will REALLY have? About the same amount we had after McCarthyism, or after JFK made Catholicism the national religion, or after the Reagan era ended protest against the government, or after the Bush era made it impossible to protest the President's actions. In other words, about the same as we have now, no matter how much the fearmongers want to make you believe otherwise. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am asking for an answer, and it is not obviou, obviously. Glad you had to look it up, I knew that which is why I asked for examples, as did Quade. You stated via rhetorical question: 1) We won't have much freedom of speech left after this admin. You made this assertion by asking: - how much freedom of speech do you think we will REALLY have? Then you get no answer from the 2 people foolish enough to address your troll thread, thread intended to stir shit, and now you're surprised. So, go back and support your claim that we won't have any/much freedom of speech left after Obama and then we can address that, or, just keep trolling (stirring shit) and we'll enjoy you for that. I hope your excercize in futility was enjoyable, but in reality makes you look foolish since the reason we cannot answer your rhetorical question is due to the nature of them being assertions via rhetorical question. OK, so you think that Obama is striping us of 1st Amen d right; how? The rhetorical question makes us aware you think so, yet there are no substantiating events, facts, legislation, etc to support it. You want us to just go ahead and believe you such as with judicial notice, another term for you to research. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

futuredivot 0 #13 May 24, 2010 There's honestly too many outlets to to shut down-it was funny when the Pres. was complaining that we have too much information, though. I'm sure there's folks in his entourage that would like to "manage" info availability. For our own good, of course.You are only as strong as the prey you devour Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
