I have to say coming from a guy that spits on the victims of the Holocaust, that means a lot to me. I really mean it.

It isn't worthless, and the issue is so much bigger than Tommy Chong. The only legitimate purpose of government is to protect people from having their rights violated by others.

Instead of protecting our individual rights, the government is now the most brazen violator of the rights it was set up to protect.

OK, yeah, your right, a lot of sympathy. My bad.

Maverick74,

I'LL SPELL IT OUT FOR YOU.

just because i believe death is the same for all living things, it DOES NOT mean i have no sympathy for holocaust victims.

i still stand by my statement that hitler's death/"after-life" is the same as the pope's. these are extreme, yet effective, examples to make my point. this has nothing to do with "spitting on holocaust victims."

i am not going to debate this anymore in this thread. if you want to discuss this, make a post in the "defining a living thing" thread.
