Senator Feinstein wants to ban a 45 year old book
Andy9o8 replied to lawrocket's topic in Speakers Corner
Whoa. Steady as she goes there, pardner. Give yourself time to adjust to being back. -
At least maadmax admits he's maad. Acknowledgment is the first step to recovery.

Senator Feinstein wants to ban a 45 year old book
Andy9o8 replied to lawrocket's topic in Speakers Corner
So should the subject of the article. I remember back in the hippie days when they said the same thing about Abbie Hoffman's book "Steal This Book". (Look it up). The problem with restraint of this book is that today it's this book, tomorrow they'll be banning a book that instructs people how to engage in civil disobedience to unjust laws. Slippery slope and all that. Shouldn't have that, at least not in the US. To me, that's the beauty of the US's First Amendment, which is just about the broadest free-speech and free-press guarantee in the entire world, including all the other "Western" countries. We've had over 200 years of it now, and I don't see the US any weaker for it. -

Just an fyi for context, the NY Daily News is in roughly the same category as your Daily Mail. -

In my view, they are. -
Yes, of course, but I do have to stay within forum rules, don't I?

Yes, a perfect analogy, as clearly a child of gay parents risks homosexualizing other children he comes into contact with. In fact, that probably explains the recent outbreak of homosexuality in California, what with San Francisco and all. Sorry, but your term paper gets an F.

Really, Mark? You want someone like this to be a vehicle for the public face you put across here? As you wish, but it seems you're having a bit of a Rumplestiltskin moment.

"Alive!!" -Gene Wilder in Young Frankenstein. Quite a monster, indeed.

He should open a pizzeria in Indiana

Yes, some people do have a mercenary view of ethics. Way to keep your eye on the bottom line.

Germanwings co-pilot Andreas Lubitz wanted everyone to remember him
Andy9o8 replied to Driver1's topic in Speakers Corner
For those of us who've never been in the Navy: what is that? -

Jeez, I'm in the wrong racket. -
Who? Mark Chapman, who killed John Lennon, who ate lots of cereal.

Due diligence? -
Yeah, she always gets a pass! And that grinds our gears!

Just as an aside: technically, payment in-kind, rather than in-cash, is still taxable income.

Oh yeah? No taxation without representation! How do you like that?

Trevor Noah/New Daily Show host is an anti-semite
Andy9o8 replied to regulator's topic in Speakers Corner
Racist, fascist pigs are beyond reason or rehabilitation. The rest is up to you. -
Wait until the school has a Christian appreciation day and atheist kids are sent home for protesting it because the Christians may riot. Under the holding this is not something that is disallowed. Not only is the speech restriction content based but the heckler's veto is now established. Either ban all flags at all times or ban none. Agreed. The rulings make me very uncomfortable.
-
I personally find that to be a very compelling argument.

Exactly. Harry Reid needed to go away around 20 years ago. Yeah, just him. Another bullseye. -
