I could not roll my eyes harder at this comment than I am right now without causing irreversible damage to my retinas..
Srsly.
Knee-jerk anarchism is as ridiculous as knee-jerk fascism.
I had no idea that Skull & Bones was a "policy involving government." I thought it was a support group for overprivileged white kids. Is it a secret branch of Americorps?
"what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."
Well , apparently I struck a nerve then ? The truth shall set us free in the end . Deny as long as you want though and keep eating fast food . Go America !
Ummm... no.
You made a statement that had absolutely nothing to do with the topic at hand. You did so using language that is as tiresome and meaningless as, "America is the greatest country in the world." You became the contrapositive to the very thing you purport to reject.
Don't make assumptions about my politics. I just don't think liberal causes are helped by knee-jerk asshats who feel themselves so "enlightened" as to not be able to engage in meaningful discourse that can have any hope of reaching anyone. I hope that's not what you are, but that is the characteristic I saw in your original comment.
Freedom of speech guarantees the right to express your opinion, not that people will accept it in the same light you view it. I've watched the liveleak video, and am still uncertain if there were any factors related to the PO/security guard behavior which we do not see.
He strikes me as a self-important ass from a moneyed background, whiney as I might expect.
One thing I have noted being back in the States, people certainlly seem to feel that everyone around them need to be informed, that folks around them are by and large ignorant and in need of education to be brought up to snuff- as this fucktard assumes once he has the microphone. Stun gun? He's still likely a deluded little shit, having learned nothing expect how to whine and turn circumstances to support his beliefs.

So , more name calling then huh ? First I'm an idiot and now a "knee jerk asshat " . See , the difference between you and I is that I don't need to resort to calling people names to attempt to prove a point . My initial comment wasn't directed at you but you took that as impetus to question my intellectual capacity instead of debating what I actually said . What was said , if you look closer , actually has basis in reality . The people who are in skull and bones typically hold government jobs . One of these people is Kerry , whom could have done something to stop the tasering but said nothing . This is representative , in a larger sense , of people being harassed for voicing their displeasure of the government . Whether you believe this is happening or not is irrelevant . However , I don't think my own opinion deserves a response that slanders my character , unrelated to the topic at hand . Believe whatever you want but I'm entitled to offer my own opinion , while not attacking others in the process .
Wow. You actually somehow interpreted anything I said there as relating in any way to Bush. Congrats, you're playing the hysterical liberal part to a tee. 10 points for you as well.
I know you are but what am I!?!?!?!
Seriously, your entire point boils down to "I don't like Kerry, so he is wrong". I'm not going to dignify it with anything more than "you're funny".
This stopped being interesting when it turned into a debate about debating skills. It also started reading like a transcript of my kids fighting.
Also, when replying to something that's been replied to a thousand times, feel free to use the spoilers... it makes it much faster to scroll, and skip by the uninteresting (and largely, irrelevant) material.
Bummer... I had been enjoying the different takes on this episode.
Well. At least there was no farcical aquatic ceremony.
No. Wait. That would have made it more interesting. . .
I had just decided to start looking for the Monty Python pics when I saw someone had already made the reference. Thought I was gonna be all clever and sneak the joke there. Although I'm sure the 'Watery Tart' would've helped him.
Did it seem as though the other students were applauding when the finally started dragging 'Don't Tase Me' out of the hall?
"I'm not so sure it did start with security. If you watch the video, the kid's clearly out to cause trouble; it's pretty obvious that he's not actually there to ask serious questions but just to make a pest of himself."
Are you people kidding me?! We are starting to see shit like this on a daily basis. Our civil liberties are being taken away one by one. They're making amendments and acts and calling it laws so that way we can't say anything. Our government has us so fucking scared that no one wants to do anything about it. (By this point in my rant you're probably thinking that I'm a schizo and believe that the government is after me, but you're wrong). I don't know if you know this but the majority of our news is owned by ONE MAN! ONE FUCKING MAN! All the news stations don't report a lot of what really happens they report what they know can be sensationalized and what the viewer wants to see. Back to my rant...
The kid was calling Kerry out, the security guards weren't about to let him look like a fool being called out by some college kid. Who fucking cares if the kid wanted publicity or not. He was completely unarmed, was doing NOTHING wrong except for excitedly asking questions (which is NOT wrong) and he got tasered. Those cops used excessive force....hands down. There was no need for a taser, they wouldn't even tell him as to why he was being arrested until later when they said for "inciting a riot". People, can you show me where the riot was? Where? Seriously.
For fucks sake.....living in America is becoming a fucking joke. We have some of the worst health care in the world, there is no job security, Social Security is being taken away, our liberties are being taken away, our education system is fucked. Freedom my ass. I am personally scared about our next election. Last time the people voted we voted in a fucking MORON. A complete redneck dimwit.
Sorry for the rant I know in places I got a little off topic. What people are bypassing here is the fact that the security guards didn't want him to finish what he was saying because it was controversial. So they held him down and tasered him because he was "resisting" arrest. I don't blame him, there are few cops, rent-a-cops, and security guards that are uncorrupted anymore.
What needs to happen is the people should collectively stop being afraid of the government and make the government afraid of us. If you like the way things are being run then go back to watching your E! True Hollywood Story of Britney Spears and live in your little "everything's ok" fantasy world.

Oh sweet sweet irony. I turn your bullshit back on you and you imply that I'm immature.
It's not about right or wrong. It doesn't have to be that black and white. I can say "yea he might now have been able to do that much" while also saying "but he should have fucking tried", which is all I'm saying, and it's something you've got out of your way not to address. Obviously I'm not the one here who's opinion is a product of what they think about Kerry

I didn't imply that you were immature. I think our continued participation in this testifies to that on both our parts. I'm fine with that. Rather, I implied that you were unoriginal. Big diff.

No, I did address it. Multiple times. I said he did try (and, in fact, he did.) You have just gone out of your way not to acknowledge that. You're right that it's not black and white. But your rant was so obviously colored by your distaste for the man and an absurdly childish view of what someone "should" do in that situation that it's impossible to escape the conclusion that you're just using this as an excuse to take pot shots.

I've never been a huge fan of Kerry. I voted for the guy, but that's about it. Nice try though.

Let's hope it takes this time.
Also, I've highlighted your typos for you for your editing pleasure. I think it could probably use some commas as well, but I'll leave those be for now.

Really? I thought they gave it a certain je ne sais quoi.
