Israel is a country, protesting against it isn't racist as it's not a race.
Thanks for the help. We appreciate it. That other board worked you over pretty good, huh? How long did they ban you for? Chaps your butt, doesnt it? Well, I'm just glad your over here with us, helping us all out. Well, I digress,...please continue on this thread, as your service to this board is simply invaluable...
Thanks, as one of the OG on this board I'm always happy to see new people settle in and take ownership.
cool. You seem to be doing better after the smack down you got from the other board... Glad your here in this thread, I thought you'd be taking legal action against them to bring them to justice. But, in the end, you got neutered and walked away humbled. How long you banned for?
nice try, didn't work. Try again. You can do better
Nothing some tear gas, rubber bullets and fire hoses wont take care of.Anyone seeing them?
@BrainVision I saw UCLA has an "encampment."
College protests updates: Police crackdown leads to hundreds of arrests
Protests have broken out at colleges and universities across the country in connection with the war in Gaza.abcnews.go.com
I just hated seeing that other website emasculate you they way they did... . The fact that you had to start a thread over getting banned on this website made it pretty clear how much it rankled you, especially since you were fighting for justice against systemic failure... oh, well, win some, lose some.
Thank you for your concern, but I'm very familiar with the ebbs and flows of moderators and how they affect boards.
Would still like to know how you get banned from a message board. What could be that serious and why cant people just have a adult discussion? Must be that whole tolerance thing I dont understand.
"I disagree with you say but would defend to the death your right to say it"
I agree, imagine being an apostle of tolerance and then getting banned... wow, you could feel the seething indignance in Belem's thread... the injustice of the whole thing is just astounding. The old tolerance was: "live and let live". The new tolerance is: If you agree and support my actions, we're good. If you don't, then your intolerant.
Which side is right? Who is wrong?
Didn't you comment earlier that you didn't want to elaborate on an idea for fear of being banned? Clearly you know already how one might get banned.
So you were on the side of the protestors? Its not a fear. I dont care if im banned or not.
I'm sorry, I thought such a paragon of intellect didn't need it spelled out for you.
I'm on the side of speech.
The thread would get locked if I used the word I wanted to. I actually enjoy these discussions and dont mind the back and forth.
Here is the thing. If you dont want to get arrested dont attract the attention of the police. So an easy way to avoid arrest is to not be on the sidewalk right? They couldnt go from sidewalk to grass?
no, no. You said repeatedly, "glad to help", Im just taking you up on your sincere offer. 1) Who is ordering the police? Why would they do such a thing?
So free speech should be free so long as you don't attract the attention of the state.
Yep, agree. I'm cool with everything thing that's been said. Who knows, we might actually get some fruitful dialogue here...
1. In the case I'm referring to - Texas Gov Abbott.
Not what I said. They should be able to protest within the law. However, any time you protest you have to consider possible consequences including arrest. If you dont want to take the chance dont be there. Choices.
Should Israel stop after one counterattack, or should they remove the terrorists from the gene pool? This isnt as simple as a tit for tat exchange with Iran. Yes Hamas is out manned and out gunned but that should have been thought about before committing a terrorist act.
Which active shooter event? Were there casualties? Hopefully the shooter was bagged.
You do? Even for speech that offends you, that contradicts your beliefs? a flag you might equate with hatred, that another believes is for states' right? a belief that a human with a penis is a man, a human with a vagina is woman? That trans-gender is bunk? Etc, etc.
