you might want to provide a reference for such a bold statement... My brief research seems to suggest that you are talking out of your ass.
He's not the one talking out of his ass. You've shown us nothing on firearm ownership or overall murder rates. Switzerland and Norway, for example, have higher gun ownership rates than other European nations, and also have homicide rates amongst the lowest.
Both South Africa and Mexico have stringent gun prohibitions, and are far from "lawless". US citizens have spent years in Mexican prisons for having a single bullet in their vehicles left over from hunting trips. As for 2, 3 and 4, I'll bet you real money that their gun laws are far more restrictive than those of the US.
Yup. You are only thinking of freedom for employer. What about freedom for employee?
People have no rights to anything that deprives others of their money, property or liberty; including their freedom of association.
It's not about "jerks" losing money. It's about your equal right to access public facility.
A public facility is one that is government owned or operated. A "public accommodation" is a legal distinction invented 40 years ago to justify infringements on private property rights and freedom of association.
If any country was a christian theocracy and ruled by the scripture in the same way that islamic theocracies are ruled by the sharia, christians would be slaying non-believers at rates comparable to the muslim protestors/freedom fighters/terrorists of today.
This is the kind of country that the likes of Bush, Robertson and Foulwell wantthe USA to become.
If what either you or the GP poster said was true, there would have been violence and killings over stuff like "Piss Christ".
That there isn't means there is a very significant difference between Christianity and Islam.
Should we not have professors of Marxism? Should they not be allowed to, for instance, point out the things that are good (and bad) about it? Does that make you, a taxpayer (I presume) uncomfortable?
Replace 'Marxism' with 'Nazism' and perhaps you'll see the problem.
The way the law works is you can say anything in the workplace. Once a person complains to you or management with a legitimate complaint, you have to either respect their wishes, or fire them. You can fire someone who thinks your vulgar and sexist comments are inappropriate as long as it doesn't violate their contract.
Then she gets to file a "Hostile Work Environment" lawsuit using the legal framework put in place by socialist feminists, thereby imposing hefty civil penalties on free speech.
Wanting recordings of the lectures smacks of a desire to rip what could be construed as controversial statements out of context. These quotes could then be circulated in talking points and the like to shore up the case against these 'ideological' professors.
If that is all Andrew Jones wanted to do, then it is unlikely he would request:
"full, detailed lecture notes, all professor-distributed materials, and full tape recordings of every class session, for one class",
and note that
"lecture notes must make particular note of audience reactions, comments, and other details that will properly contextualize the professor's non-pertinent ideological comments."
That's a joke, guys. "Why do you hate America?" is the archetypal ignorant talking-point-fixated Republican response to the slightest criticism of US foreign policy, so that's what I posted. There's an excellent Tom Tomorrow cartoon on the same theme.
So in other words, your post was rightfully moderated as Flamebait.
The Ohio Secretary of State ruling that a state law requires people go the proper precinct in order to vote a provisional ballot is not evidence that the Bu$hitler Conspiracy stole the election. Many states have the same rules regarding provisional ballots.
The official amended certified election results from Ohio gave Bush a 118,599 vote lead over Kerry. This included the counting of 77 percent of around 155,000 provisional ballots cast. Even if all 35,650 of those excluded provisional ballots went to Kerry, which is extremely unlikely, that would narrow Bush's lead to around 82,949 votes. At that point, you would have to prove that around 82,949 people were either beaten at the polls by Racist White Police working for the Bu$hitler Conspiracy, had their votes changed electronically by the Racist Diebold Computerized Voting Machines, etc, etc.
I performed a Google search before I replied, but I did another one. Searching with the terms '"denied provisional ballots" OR "denied a provisional ballot"' got me two stories with specific names and places mentioned.
One story referred to allegations of various college students in Massachusetts being denied provisional ballots, allegations that were denied by the Town Clerk. Another story quotes a law student in Oregon saying he was denied a provisional ballot, not because of the Evil Zionist (Jewish) Neocon Conspiracy, but rather because people at the elections office didn't know how they worked.
Most hits contain only vague allegations, with no names of the disenfranchised, no witnesses, and no specific location. This leads me to conclude that denial of provisional ballots was due to poll workers, many of whom are elderly volunteers with nothing else to do, being either uninformed or incompetent. No evidence exists that denial of provisional ballots was an organized effort on the part of the Evil Zionist (Jewish) Neocon Conspiracy.
you act as if provisional ballots shouldnt exist,
"Act"? I thought I specifically stated that they shouldn't exist.
while you KNOW that they should.
So now you're psychic?
there are myriad reasons why someone cant make it to their home precinct.
really plase make an argument for why you should ONLy be allowed to vote at your assigned precinct. but please make one besides the obvious "so its easier to check the registered voter list".
Voter fraud would be made far easier. Voter traffic would be imbalanced. Registered voter lists would have to be accessed and checked using expensive computerized systems, which would open up the same can of worms we've seen with touch-screen voting.
go ahead and suck up to your fascist leaders some more:(
Having a President brought to power by elections rigged by widespread disenfranchisement
Except there is no evidence of "widespread disenfranchisement" when all the "evidence" consists of nothing more than unproven allegations, half-truths and the occasional screeds of lunatics and madmen.
Being prepared to overlook this obscenely anti-democratic act and legitimise his second term simply underlines the degree to which the population has been subjugated,
Because most people don't respond to, or care about what socialistic extremists say does not mean they are "subjugated".
Completely off-topic but there are ways of controling who votes and thus the outcome of the election. For example "scrubbing voter rolls"
So what percentage of people on the scrub lists tried to vote, but were denied?
Other methods include reducing number of polling stations available in a district, thus inducing long lines and discourging people from voting.
Long lines is mentioned only once in the article:
"He said that at one polling station, at Kenyon College in Knox County, some voters had to wait six hours because Democratic and Republican campus groups registered thousands of students. They voted at a precinct "that normally handles a few hundred people," LoParo said."
So it doesn't look like the lines in this case was the result of the Evil Zionist (Jewish) Neocon Conspiracy, but rather because turnout was far higher than expected.
people who showed up to a precinct that wasnt their home precinct were denied provisional ballots.
It used to be that people who showed up at a precinct that wasn't their home precinct were shit out of luck, as they should be. Registered voters are notified of their home precincts well in advance of major elections. If the voter can't remember the proper precinct because he or she is too drunk or in a crack haze, tough shit as far as I'm concerned.
But, since denying provisional ballots is technically in "violation of federal law", do name the county and precinct where this occurred, and the election officials responsible.
Why would an end user suspect that opening a picture file could cause a virus to be installed on to their computer? Windows doesn't have *bad* security, Windows has no security. In order to have a useable system you MUST run Windows as local administrator.
That's news to me. My primary user account is limited to Power User privileges. Plenty of people run with only User (Limited) privileges, and are still able to do all their routine tasks.
George swore to uphold and protect the constitution of the USA. If he blatantly disregards law, he is in violation of his oath to be President. As such he should be impeached.
The majority of US presidents, legislators and judges have violated their oaths, including the representative you just wrote.
It DOES NOT matter what the United States does, BY DEFINITION to them, it is the land of the free
More precisely, the US has higher relative degrees of personal and economic freedom than most places in the world, including most Western industrialized nations.
Doesn't matter how little privacy they have
The typical European has significantly less.
Doesn't matter how much power their government has
Most governments have significantly more.
Doesn't matter how unfair their government is
Most governments are significantly less fair.
Doesn't matter how many foreign people they kill
Unlike the French, for example, the US military is going to absurd lengths to protect civilians in Iraq, often at the cost of American lives.
Doesn't matter how they crush and oppress their opponents, even those with democratic aspirations, in other countries
You no doubt see those who cut the heads off of schoolgirls in Indonesia and blow up children for taking candy from U.S. soldiers in Iraq as having "democratic aspirations".
That Bush failed to win the popular vote in 2000 means he stole the election.
That Bush won the popular vote in 2004 - even if all votes from the Evil Neocon Conspiracy Voting Machines were thrown out - also means he stole the election.
However, let me give an example of the freedom in this country. A friend recently returned from visiting friends in California. She brought back as a souvenir three toilet paper sheets... from the TP roll where she stayed. Each of the sheets had printed on it a picture of George Bush and some choice quote by him.
Completely uninteresting.
What would be interesting is a roll of toilet paper bearing the text of the Koran.
Even more interesting would be the person marketing such a product managing to avoid the same fate as Theo van Gogh.
But when you are an asshole, you generally stay that way.
There are many legitimate, and glaringly obvious reasons why a person would not want to so much as step foot inside a major airport, let alone fly on a commercial jet.

Yet the police state actions routinely undertaken in Britain are far worse than anything US residents have to put up with.
No, we have to prevent anyone from creating government rules.
