    You didn't say you agreed with it, but you did say that rights are still rights if they can be removed via due process even if the reason for removing them is petty or unrelated to the excercise of the right. So, theoretically, does that mean the right to due process could be stripped from someone via due process? It's self evidently absurd, but why? Might be easier to consider that it's not the best way to determine what makes a right. Do you want to have an ideagasm?

    I like how when you finally catch up to what everyone else already knew you state all the details like it's brand new information. It's almost endearing. Do you want to have an ideagasm?

    And that makes sense to you? It's a sufficient reason? What if you were once convicted of assault and then soldiers could come and live in your house. What if getting convicted of a felony DUI could strip you of your right to due process in the future? You think the process of revoking someone's rights matters but the reasons don't?

    Whatever gets you through the day dude. But despite the impairment I'm pretty sure you still know what it was you just made up. Do you want to have an ideagasm?

    Oh sure, if you add in 'due process' you can take away rights for any petty unrelated reason and it doesn't stop being a right. Makes perfect sense. No surprise there. The US is just about the most trigger happy nation in the world when it comes to revoking freedom. Doesn't mean it isn't ridiculous. Do you want to have an ideagasm?

    I've never made anything up, you just choose to ignore what you don't like. Except for the bit of that post that you wrote. Do you want to have an ideagasm?

    It's when you make stuff up that no-one wants to listen to the rest of what you have to say. Do you want to have an ideagasm?

    So those are only privileges, right? That's hilarious, but also ridiculous. Do you want to have an ideagasm?

    Oh come on. "Gerald Lykins, a criminal defense attorney who once served as an assistant prosecutor in Kent County, says “rights” are regulated by the U.S. or Michigan Constitutions and must be explicitly listed – such as freedom of religion or the right against self-incrimination." That guy didn't pay attention when he read the bill of rights Well that one was easy wasn't it? Dude was a nutjob. And they also ruled against his religious freedom. Do you want to have an ideagasm?

    If you can't find it then you're just saying it. Your legal ability to own a gun can also be taken away. Is bearing arms a privilege or a right? Do you want to have an ideagasm?

    Don't be daft. That argument hasn't worked since they invented horses. Now you're falling into the same trap as Quade, which is kind of ironic. Rights don't stop being rights because there are reasonable and un-burdensome regulations on it for the protection of the rest of society. It also doesn't stop being a right if something involved in the excercising of it that has monetary value is taxed. Being alive is a right, and by extension you've pretty much got to extend that to the right to drink water. But you need to pay to be connected to the pipes, and even if there's water right under your feet there are regulations about the kind of well you can dig to get to it.

    Anyone else want to explain to Quade why, despite the second amendment, there are still licenses for guns? I'm sure he used to know it, I'm also sure he's talked about it himself once or twice, but he seems to be suffering from severe acute amnesia right now. Do you want to have an ideagasm?

    You do realize that driving is a privilege and not a right; yes? Actually that speaks to the part of his OP that was philosophically correct. Driving is a right. Anyone that says otherwise is a moron. Well, I guess I can't even begin to argue with that sort of legal knowledge. No, you can't. Because it's true, and it's blindingly obvious that it's true. If the 9th doesn't cover freedom of movement then it doesn't cover anything. Find a better way of travelling than cars and then you can ban driving. Until then, fugeddaboutit.

    And Obama signed all those new State laws into effect? Fuck that guy! Do you want to have an ideagasm?

    The Holocaust sure as hell did. Well it was only the end of the world for the people who died in it. Which you can say for just about anything, really. Do you want to have an ideagasm?

    To be fair, they wouldn't want to give it to the proletariat. Only to the part of the proletariat that looks and thinks like them. Yeah, seems more like they're seizing the means of production from the government in order to give it to themselves. So they're not quite Marxists, more like just really hardcore Trade Unionists?

    Robi left BirdMan to start Phoenix-Fly. After that BMs designs were rapidly made obsolete by first PF, then Tony's new wave and by then Jari was more interested in becoming a fashion designer anyway. Do you want to have an ideagasm?

    Right, because every other 5 minutes of my day is too full to do that. Just like yours is. You must be a real cynical fella wasting your only free 5 minutes arguing with me on here instead of lobbying congress or rescuing kittens from trees or in some other way making a genuine difference in the world. With every 5 minutes of your day. Do you want to have an ideagasm?

    Well the interesting bit. I have no real interest in this topic at all but 5 minutes of casual research this morning have apparently given me more knowledge about the rules of Arlington than the American posters who really do have strong opinions on the right course of action. When people get really serious about a situation they clearly don't understand it always makes me wonder why. Do you want to have an ideagasm?

    You talking about when posters here believed Palin said she could see Russia from here porch? Wow. I guess when you tell the same lie enough times you really do start to believe it. You're a fascinating guy, Rush. Do you want to have an ideagasm?

    Why doesn't volunteering for the most useful and most dangerous job you are qualified and permitted to do not qualify as heroism just because it means you won't be directly involved in facing enemy fire? You'll probably want to lobby for them to change the rules then because it's far from restricted to them, whatever your definition of them is. Do you want to have an ideagasm?
  23. jakee
    That is a set of requirements. The discussion would be better served if you looked at the correct set of requirements. Do you want to have an ideagasm?

    Probably not so much a racial thing as a 'we're already being watched' thing. Just like every pilot runs every checklist when they're on an evaluation ride with an instructor. Do you want to have an ideagasm?

    Which is fine, but since the real world question isn't about inground burial both the poll and your answer are kind of irrelevant. Do you want to have an ideagasm?
