Thanks, and now please FOAD.
In fact, I'm tempted to retort with something about "the idiots", but that would put us on the same level.
Let's have a beer!
Let's review: The First Amendment grants me the right to say these very things that make you feel uncomfortable or offended.
Just as it protects your right to call my statements offensive.
And we could be next door neighbors and get along fine.
Is this a great country or what?
Let's review: I did not attempt to deny you your right to free speech (even though it does not apply in this venue) . Hence, I question why you'd bring up the topic of the 1st Amendment, other than to attempt to imply that I had somehow attempted to censor you.
"Just as it protects your right to call my statements offensive."
Which -- as they fit the bill -- I did.
on trial for killing some boers, the prosecutor asked what rule he (and 2 others) went by when killing them? he answered very loudly 'RULE # .303'! (the british rifle caliber). that was a great answer by the way. it's also a great australian movie.
You are such a damn likeable opponent. It takes all the wind out of my sails. Let's have a beer!Like Miller Lite?
Because we (although I am a Christian, I was born a Jew, and consider myself as much a Jew as a Black would consider himself Black after becoming a Christian) enjoy letting them worry about when the other shoe will drop, obviously. :)
They, of course, don't. It's meant to whip up Arab hysteria, as if it wasn't already whipped up to the max.
Did this guy get the message at the Mosque.
They can say "The Jews did it to make moslems look bad!" in one breath, and then forget their lines and say "I will kill more Americans than Atta!" in the next, (and be as believable as O.J. both times).
He wasn't speaking for our benefit. He was speaking to Radical Muslim college students who have been fed this stuff since birth. He could care less what WE think.
Yeah. I've been scratchin' my head over that. They were jumpin' up and down in the streets under the jurisdiction of the Palestinian Authority, in Pakistan and elsewhere, cheering for the great victory of the holy warriors, and in the next breath, they say "the Jews did it." I guess then that the Jews did it for Allah and for his Prophet, peace be upon him.
Let me suggest that this forum would not even exist were it not for the First Amendment atmosphere in which we exist in this country -- though I accept your point that this forum has owner-imposed limits.
Nor did I mean to imply that you were trying to censor me. Why not bring up the First Amendment? It's a great topic.
However, to be frank, I did not know if you understood the distinction between liberty of speech and sensitivity to feelings worn on sleeves. I perceive that you do know the difference.
"Just as it protects your right to call my statements offensive."
Which -- as they fit the bill -- I did.
Yes, you did. And more power to you. (Still, I don't retract anything I said.)
