  1. If you believe there is no indiviual right recognized by the second amendment, why not? Militia clause precludes citizens? "the people" are states, not citizens? You believe the Supreme Court has said there isn't? witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  2. And you seem to think that free thinking will lead everyone to believe, as you do, that Che Guevera or the Bolshevics running the country would be our best recourse. Some of us learn from history and disagree with you. Every time you spout off with your ideals, you ensure they will never come to pass. People in this country don't want your big government solutions. Do I need to quote for you where you stated in your own definition that socialism requires the government running things? Or are you really goiing to sit there and claim that there is a difference between government intervention and government control? witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  3. And those who defend poor and unpopular people. To argue the right is for the Bill of Rts is ridiculous. The 6th is being cautioned here. Just because you don't like the reference to the classism that is present here, don't discard it as your best argument. I would also like to hear more of this case, especially in regard to priv communication, which ut appears this case teeters on. This is what I'm talking about. Shit on the Const in the name of fear of terrorism - what a waste. What part of that was violated? Attorney client priviledge is not covered by the sixth amendment. Also, A/C priv is restricted by a number of things, just like the first, second, fourth, and all the others. One of the things that limits or precludes A/C priv is when the attorney participates in the criminal enterprise. That predates even the RICO statutes. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  4. Think we'll see them used in anger in that timeframe? And you're right, the SALT treaties and other disarmament agreements only really work when both sides have more than they need. When the up and comer wants nukes, a nuclear power doesn't exactly have the high ground in saying he shouldn't. ps - c'mon, you know what a joke the term "assault rifle" is by the politicians' definition... witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  5. Let the treasonous b_ _ _ _ rot in prison. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  6. The only thing more powerful and more common than that is the old "let's ruin the career of a guy in a 'trust position' by crying false rape." Yes, it's complete horseshit, but good luck changing it. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  7. Well, Fatherland is right up there with Motherland. One is too Ruskie, the other too Nazi (in the minds of most AMericans). I think "Domestic Security Agency" DSA, or "Department of Domestic Security" DDS, would've been much better choices for names, but who asks the normal guys? witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  8. 1. Political capital is lost more easy than cash in Vegas. 2. It's be better to avoid a cold war (as it's more likely to go hot with the Chinese than it was with the Russians) but we both know that the Chinese don't co-exist; they tolerate or they dominate. 3. What do you think they could do to us that either we couldn't do to them or that they wouldn't do to themselves in hurting us? witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  9. No one feared or respected us in the Clinton years, not SH, not the Somalis, not the countries we gave conditional aid to (since they knew the conditions were bogus). Personally I'd rather be respected than feared but feared when appropriate. Neither Clinton nor Bush has hit the best international relations chord, but we'd probably disagree over who's done what. That makes no sense whatsoever. NK has been struggling to make nukes for decades. Now that they have between two and eight, why in God's name would the give them away? They haven't got enough to go spreading it around. Not if they want to keep pretending to be the big mo-fo on the block. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  10. From the asshat-in-question: Really? There was an article posted that included that viewpoint of one Hamilton undergrad. That kid's father died the WTC attacks. This son of a bitch called his father a little Eichmann. That doesn't call for an apology? According to this asshole, everyone in the WTC who wasn't janitorial was a little Death Camp overseer? I haven't got the words to describe this man. And since I've stopped wishing ill on people, all I can say is I hope he gets EVERYTHING he deserves. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  11. You need to check into your Chinese propaganda subscription, I think it's lapsed. Also, China directly supports terrorists when it wants to. The only difference is they're smart enough not to fuck directly with US interests by way of force (they do that via other means). witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  12. Not exactly good business practice, is it? witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  13. So somebody please tell me why it's a good idea to play overly nice with China. (particularly with their human rights level, there constant snubbing of UN and US policy, aggressive stance on everything, and general Nazi-esque behavior) ps - that doesn't trigger a godwin, does it? witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  14. I would say the same thing about the left, but that's what keeps this whole thing interesting. Why do you keep saying "you guys" on the right? I keep telling you, I want libertarian policies to run the domestic agenda. Tink, you realize that if your new party moves left of the democrats, they lose the entire center, and if they move center of democrats, then your "left" still has no voice. What's the solution for you? witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  15. Jaeger-bombs put me out like a light. Other than that I hold my own quite nicely, thank you very much. However, it is a lot of fun to get sloppy on a few bottles of red wine. It ain't quick, and it ain't pretty, but it sure is fun. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  16. Hey, people say you should always look for the common ground. Well, I still think that you are so far left that everything seems right, but at least you really believe it and have thought out reasons for it. Well, I'd prefer the libertarian party rise to eclipse both right and left "big government" wings, but hey, at least it'll stay interesting. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  17. Wow, Tink and I just agreed on something political... Shit, who's left on the list before they start having snowball fights in hell? quade billvon kallend skydekker chistelsabine tink1717 Eh, I think it'll stay warm down there for a good long while, because there's always EBSB52 and botellines. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  18. Please just ignore my posts, as I have found that will be the best way to deal with you. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  19. I hate to be the one to tell you, but it is you, not I, who have confused the definitions of socialism and communism. http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=socialism http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=communism OK, so maybe I don't hate being the one to tell you you're wrong. If you are even farther out there than I thought, and you actually believe socialism does not represent more government control and intervention, then you are beyond discussion and I'll leave to do as you will. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  20. So you can sit back, snipe, pick at each word choice, and generally tear down anyhtign written without offering anyhting enw or positive of your own? No thanks, if it interests you, or you really want to hijack the thread, go ahead and spout off. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  21. Your little third grade definitions may be useful in making your world a simple place, but out here in reality things have connotative meanings as well as denotative, and socialism is not a utopia waiting to happen. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  22. Well, if you want a thread where people discussed this guy Churchill without spouting "the truth," you can check this week-old thread. http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=1457730;sb=post_latest_reply;so=ASC;forum_view=forum_view_collapsed;;page=unread#unread Or you can repost it and make it into a shouting match and US/Bush bashing thread. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  23. I find it disturbing just how many people in the UK and elsewhere have no idea what they can and cannot do to protect themselves from crime and criminals. It's not the people's fault. Even the government can't make up it's mind. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/4234941.stm Here is the government's advice to people. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/shared/bsp/hi/pdfs/01_02_05_intruder.pdf And then one comes across an article like this... http://www.derryjournal.com/story/5750 witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

  25. The entire populace is the Militia (same now as then) and part of the militia being "well regulated" is the militia (the populace) being armed. Also, that is one reason for the amendment, but not the only one. They (the founding fathers) did just use their guns to throw off a tyrant, afterall. However, just because their most relevant reason is not at the top of our list, that doesn't mean they didn't recognize the others, or that it no longer applies to us. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
