    if a stopped clock is right twice a day, it is still a stopped clock.

    I guess for some people it is indeed hard to believe not everything revolves around strippers.
  3. SkyDekker
    That's because you assume the best of the right and assume the worst of the left every single time.

    C-16 doesn't compel speech. Lie number 3 to keep your argument alive. I don't think you have a single clue what you are talking about beyond right wing talking points sprinkled with some standard military talking points. Same mindless drivel you get on Fox News. Let me guess, you think all those "liberate x state" protests just organically started too right? They are just all of a sudden random citizens standing up?

    I wasn't defending Iran, so that's a pretty stupid take. Clearly you don't understand.
  6. SkyDekker
    true, should probably compare testing rates between those countries too. It is all here. No need to call people here sick. it is your American celebrity doctors who come on TV and claim increased deaths is just the price to pay.

    And the US hasn't? And Israel hasn't? Saudi Arabia hasn't? Already forgotten the Saudi attacks in new York City on September 11th, 2001? US' direct and indirect support of the Taliban. If your issue with Iran is around bankrolling terrorism, then you might want to look in your own country first. (Never mind IRA funding etc)

    Bullshit. And threatening the President isn't incitement, just like threatening your neighbour isn't incitement. If you have to lie twice in a couple of sentences to try and maintain your point, you have probably lost the point.
  9. SkyDekker
    Though the action of speaking can certainly be a crime in the US. Threatening the President of the United States is a felony. Turns out "thought crimes" are already a crime.

    I guess willfully misunderstanding is indeed a part of politics.

    Trump said there are good people among white supremacists. When Joe Biden makes a comment that there are good MS-13 members I will happily come back and agree with you. Secondly, do you really not see a difference between a communicating from a Presidential Campaign and people sending memes?

    Wait till he figures out that Bush in 2007 gave him the power to declare Martial Law and take command of each National Guard unit without the consent of state Governors.

    Meh, there are all kinds of instances where lawful assembly has been prohibited in your very recent history. In areas struck by natural disasters for instance. Or because your president has decided to be within 100 miles of the area or something. Maybe I am a subject. But I will take my freedoms in Canada over living in the Banana Republic south of the border. Just one little example, our chief health officers in almost every province have turned into celebrated figures. Yours needs increased protection after all the death threats. I am sure he feels very free these days.

    No but making anal sex illegal because homosexuality is against the law is bad. Banning abortions because of religious purposes is bad. Providing free rain to bigotry under the guise of "sincerely held religious beliefs" is bad. Just to name a few.

    That sounds like a nice little soundbite. Not sure that is really true. The link below outlines the Executive Order for Michigan and provides the support she is using for the EO. If you don't agree, maybe try and refute her reasoning? https://www.michigan.gov/whitmer/0,9309,7-387-90499_90705-522626--,00.html Should also note that the normal course of action in these cases would be to challenge this in a court of law, not a call to arms.

    Uhmm yes. so? Murder in the 1st is an act. Manslaughter is an act. Yet "thought" plays a huge roll in determining the severity of the crime between those two acts of homicide. If your problem is "thought" playing a role in your justice system then your issue isn't just with hate crimes, it is with your entire criminal law system.
  17. SkyDekker
    But your justice system is already based on that. One of the items required for a crime to be a crime is "criminal intent". The difference between murder in the 1st and man slaughter is the amount of thought that went into a crime for example.
  18. SkyDekker
    Killing a man for the colour of his skin is not a crime of passion. A crime of passion requires sudden anger or heartbreak. Long simmering hatred is not sudden. Should also not that "Crime of Passion" is a defense used to lesson the severity of a homicide. Your justice system is already based on the idea that lack of thought reduces severity of a crime. Then why would you be upset with specific thought increasing the severity of a crime?
  19. SkyDekker
    That is fucking funny. I don't care who you are.
  20. SkyDekker
    I don't have a problem with that. And many other statutes in your law books take what people think in mind with regards to the severity of a crime. In many cases what a person thought prior to committing an act is often the differentiator between committing a crime or not. Killing a man in a fist-fight after he called your wife a whore is very different from killing a man because you don't like the colour of his skin.
  21. SkyDekker
    That part is different. But the reliance on religion really isn't that much different. Many laws in the US based on religion. Christianity is almost a requirement to hold any office of real power in the US. And I am sure a Muslim setting up shop in the Ron's neighbourhood is going to be greeted as a wonderful additional and not at all going to be harassed by local law enforcement. List goes on and on. I know Americans like to think themselves superior to all others, turns out you really are just the same.
  22. SkyDekker
    No different from the US. Remember comments like the crusades. Evangelicals are propping up Republicans etc etc etc.

    Q

    SkyDekker replied to yobnoc's topic in Speakers Corner

    There will always be a next step to wait for. That is how these things work. It is like a battered wife saying this time it will be different. If my opinion of you wasn't already well beneath contempt, I would pity you.
  24. SkyDekker
    I remember him saying something like having more respect for soldiers who didn't get caught, I guess he also has more respect for those who don't die? In the end Trump is all about Trump and he really doesn't care about anything else.
  25. SkyDekker
    lol, that's what you meant....while opining on a website. You really are just trolling.
