kallend 1,683 #2 January 14, 2017 brenthutchBy left wing, peace loving, tolerance monkeys? Well, now that Obama has confiscated all guns and imposed Sharia Law on the entire country, we have little precedent to go on. But at least the troublemakers can be identified by their embedded RFID chips.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

Going to be pretty difficult to distinguish it from the devastation being caused by the neo-nazis going on their Kristallnacht rampage.

When you start the conversation using a term like "tolerance monkeys" you are signalling me that you are not to be taken seriously and that this will be another over the top, anything goes thread full of crap. I am just playing along with you. If you want serious discourse then say so. Don't bother coming after me. You are the one who started off with insulting rhetoric. And don't bring Nazi's into it. Trump is not allied with Nazi's. He's allied with commies. And you are not being a dick. That's flattering yourself. More of an asshole! Quote And yes I know that I am a dick.

wolfriverjoe 1,371 #9 January 15, 2017 gowlerk And don't bring Nazi's into it. Trump is not allied with Nazi's. He's allied with commies. Actually, Trump is aligned with the White Nationalists/Supremacists. And they certainly backed him. I wouldn't consider Putin a "commie". He's just a standard dictator. Not any real difference from the Soviets, but no official "Communist Party" like back then.

The same as not all firearm owners are irresponsible or violent. Both are protected by the constitution. Is the second amendment more important than the first?

Well, my backhanded point was that "destructive demonstrations" are not (should not be? ) protected speech. Would the small business owner have had his Constitutionally-protected rights violated by the brick thrower ...or by a Government that does not mete out justice for the owner by not prosecuting the demonstrator and holding him accountable to the law and to the shop owner?

But, I'm not completely opposed to a little retaliatory "b". By that time, the debate has pretty much degenerated and is beginning to swirl. Like this: Debater 1: "a" Debater 2: opposing view "a" Debater 1: rebuttal "a" (maybe a subtle "b" implied) Debater 2: full-on "b" (point of the debate is mostly forgotten) Debater 1: Really, "b" ?!? ...well, I got your "b" right here buddy! Greenie: Yer all banned! I can imagine things getting messy when there is a mass debate with more than 2 participants. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
