I wish I had the right to beat the tar out of (shoot) people who pi$$ me off. Can't we add that one? Please?

OK how about this. I have the right to vote for and elect, if possible, people who would pass laws to punish (including imprisionment or capital punishment) people who I don't like for what ever reason I feel requires that solution. Seems too many folks think I don't have that right and, I say, I do have that right. (I think I'm right about that too). Seems people think I am psychotic and or crazy when I express that I have a right to think this way.

I would also like to confirm that I have a right to dislike or even hate other individules or groups of individules and have the right to work against these individules or groups within the political or private arena. It seems like there are those who would not agree but they are incorrect. It seems that when you disagree then they just call you names and threaten you. I would be happy to give out my address to those who threaten me but, I'm not the only one who lives there.

If you can convince people to add this right, using the rules already posted, then you can add it. Knock yourself out! (You have that right too.)

There are apparently people who don't understand more subtle forms of wit. Some have already posted here. I think you need to be a little more obtuse. Of course you have that right. And you have the right to explain your position in as reasoned and clear a manner as you possibly can. If those who disagree with you can't come up with any other disagreement than to, for a hypothetical example, suggest that you might need professional help then you have de-facto won your argument. If they disagree with you they should be able to provide a coherent argument for why they disagree. Somply tossing out a couple of words that are meant to disparage you as an individual would be in complete violation of what I'm trying to propose.

As above, white supremicists (or black or yellow or whatever) should be given their place on the stage. We have nothing to fear from someone who proposes an opinion that is odious to us (in an adult forum, of course. We're not talking about speakers at a public school here.) We have more to fear from the censorship of their ideas.

Of course, sometimes people say things that don't have any rational basis against which you can form a coherent argument. In that case, the best argument is silence.

Nice post. Thanks.

Shalom.
