Olympic Committee threatens to punish athletes who fight for gay Russians The Sports World to Gay Fans: Don’t Be Gay (For a While) Apparently wearing a rainbow pin is cause for sanctions against athletes. Analogies for crosses, crucifixes, yarmulkes, and other expressions of belief or pride come to mind. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

The calls officers respond to are public record. In the town I used to live in, reporters would go down the the PD and SO office each morning and get the print out for all incident dispatch sheets and all preliminary report covers. As long as he isn't sharing info he shouldn't, I don't have a problem with it. (as long as its his private phone, not one provided by his employer) There are arguments to be made about officer safety, about better things he could be doing with his time, and about him opening himself up to liability, but those are individual choices. I wouldn't condemn his behavior without more information. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

US Government officially acknowledges the existance of Area 51 and its location They declassified a report detailing the origins of Area 51 and U2 development.

What you want is the right to limit someone else's freedom of speech, because it annoys you. Suck it up, buttercup. You don't get to limit other's rights based on your feelings.

if i have to take a day off from work and stand in line at the DMV, i feel trapped there. i cannot leave without losing my place online and a days work. Its not a starbucks, where i can go to another DMV and get their drivers license. we both know that i am not literally trapped there. you also know my point but dont like it, fine. Dont try to imply its not logical. you can just say you would prefer people are permitted to preach at the DMV and i should have to suck it up. I'm curious how much you'd support it if they were preaching the Koran or evils of flouride in drinking water. Or the benefits of Obamacare. Some folks feel the same way about protesters that you feel about street preaching. Should protesters be muzzled because they annoye somebody? Me? I don't like any of them, but I'm not about to call in the law to silence, arrest, and remove them. I ignore them, or pop in the headphones. The only one I ever took action against was a baptist preacher in the crazy westboro strain who was blocking entry to a building. Police were watching but not doing anything about denying access. So we pulled out a video camera, and a friend tried to walk through the group. One of them got in his face and poked him in the chest. My boy went all wristy-twisty and took the guy to the ground. The group howled bloody murder. When the cop came over, we showed him the video. He asked my guy if he wanted to press charges for assault. The fuckwits let us through. They didn't come back the next day. Bottom line, don't fuck with free speech. There is no such thing as a right not to be offended or annoyed. Grow up and deal with it. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

When people are regularly being called racist, well, there might be a reason for it. While some of the people we're talking about aren't overtly racist, some are. You do an injustice to the people who are simply insensitive by lumping them in with the outright racists like Limbaugh. Uh, no Paul. Blacks have been called a lot of terrible things by a lot of people. Are you going to sit there and say "there might be a reason for it"? I didn't think so. Don't fall for the truth is in middle fallacy (gray fallacy, argument to moderation). The truth is what it is, and doesn't change just because liars repeat their lies often. Playing the race card doesn't make your opponent racist. In fact playing it inappropriately makes the one playing it a racebaiter, and by definition racist. And just for accuracy a sake, it wasn't me who lumped them together. Reread the thread. You'll find it was kallend, the critic, who lumped them together. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

I guess you haven't been listening to Rush Limbaugh much, then. Or Breitbart, Beck or Hannity. Or anything on FOX News. Or reading the WSJ. Or Newsmax. Or even reading your own posts. Haven't all those sources regularly been called racist? You're making his pint for him, professor. Just look at what Reid said. That was aimed at any politician working to thwart the president'setal political agenda (you know, like people who disagree and opposite parties generally do). It was particularly bad consider Reid's own "light skinned negro dialect" comments. Just google "fox news racist". After Oprah coverage and one link about reality tv idiocy, you see sources attacking Fox News as racist for criticizing Obama, for calling out race baiters hypocrisy, and basically for not kowtowing to the NAACP on ever little thing. Don't even get me started on them being called racist over the Zimmerman-Martin shooting when they pointed out attempts by others to infer racist motivations. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

If right now, at this very moment, I walk out the door, drive to the store... and purchase 2 AR-15's, two parts kits, 20K rounds of 223, and a complete set of full body military body armor... ...how does that effect you? ? affect, right? I always get confused. It affects me because I am 90x more likely to be murdered by a gun in the USA than if I lived in the UK. That is driven directly by your ability to do what you said. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_firearm-related_death_rate#List (A) Correlation is not causation. (B) You're showing that murder by firearm is more likely in the US than the UK. (B1) Would you feel better if it was murder by means other than a firearm? (B2) If you're that worried, move to the UK. That would have a bigger impact of your odds of being murdered than passing new guns laws in the USA. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

My knives are means to kill things. My motor vehicles are means to kill things. Most of the tools and equipment in the garage is means to kill things. The tie my wife gave me is means to kill things. The pen my father gave me is a means to kill things. Damn near anything a person chooses to use as a weapon is means to kill things. There are a lot more than 280 million means to kill things in this country. Yet again, you're focusing on what people are using to kill instead of the fact that they are killing. THIS IS CALLED BLAMING THE TOOL. You really need to focus on the fact that murders are being committed rather than how they are being committed. Less guns in this country is not a good thing. Fewer murders in this country would be a good thing. Since forcing the former would not cause the latter, you're not making a sound case. And because there is no way in hell this country will ever ban firearms for private ownership and use, you're tilting at windmills. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

Buddy, that's hypocrisy, not duality. But you're on point. I saw video of a guy in a Reagan mask doing clown antics, too. I heard he even made fun of the former president's metal health at the time. I didn't hear anybody on any side say anything, except the crowd that hissed to let him know he'd gone too far with the memory joke. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

That's his MO. We kinda just ignore it unless he gets personal or tries to refute truth with his screed. Then we slap him with a dose of reality and go back to ignoring him. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

Having never heard of Olympic rifle, biathlon, camp perry, three gun, IDPA, IPSC, skeet, trap, plinking, cowboy action, black powder hunting, handgun hunting, rifle hunting, reenactment, the other myriad shooting activities, plinking, or plain old collecting, he can still be an authority on guns and their uses, right? Without ever serving, carrying for his employment or his safety, talking I anyone who does, or reading the wealth or literature on the subject, he can still tell us what the truth really is, right? I guess he thinks everybody else's guns, and by extension everybody else, is a deadly threat to him. I tend to trust humanity more than him, and I guess I'm jut better at keeping incidents in proportion. I feel kinda sorry for him, being scared and unempowered all the time. I like knowing the score and my place in things. I also realize that making others powerless does not make me more powerful, it only makes them less powerful. I prefer people have choices more than being forced to conform to make silly people feel better. Most of all, I recognize that guns are not the cause of this countries problems, and would much rather address the issues that are. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

You can't even get this right, you ignoramus, the basic argument is Green or Black. If you can't understand this much, you should go crawl in a hole and then go into your back yard and eat worms! Look to your own false dichotomy. The cultured among us discuss white, green, black, and oolong, as well as herbals. The important question is lemon or milk, with an option for none of the above. And just so you know, I don't do worms, not even out of Mexican liquor bottles.

You sure feel the need to attack the person opining much more than the opinion itself. Bullshit. I've been knocking down your ridiculous points wherever I see them. Claiming that I'm attacking you personally because I'm attacking your views is like claiming that I'm personally attacking people who think the earth is flat when I tell them they're wrong. Grow up. You really don't appear to understand limited government. The bill of rights was written to acknowledge existing rights and codify their protection into the constitution. The amendments should not be read as granting rights. They should be read as recognizing individual rights and as strictly and specifically restricting government.

His age and location don't matter. He's just another one f those folks who think they should be the one to decide what decisions you are allowed to make, and what's just too much for you, regardless of what the law may be.

No guns in America means the US loses the war of 1812, they revert to colonies of UK, no Louisiana Purchase happens, US stays split between powerful nations, US never develops as a world power, the allies lose WWII, the Nazis and the Russian Commies are the super powers, and things generally suck for anyone not part of the ruling party.
