I swear that if I see these trolls from Westboro Baptist Church I will go crazy

Quote from fhl:

Lincoln threw all kinds of people into prison for saying things he didn't like.


The US is not a constitutional republic.
We are a democracy.

Just admit it and be done. Why argue.

The majority gets what it wants. Or at least if the media is able to twist everything like a pretzel to make it look like the majority is for it.

Great. Wake me up when Lincoln gets back, will ya?

If the majority got what it wanted, shithead groups like the WBC would never exist and be outlawed. Yes, the world would be a better place without WBC, but who would then determine what represented acceptable speech afterwards?
 
Quote from Scataphagos:

Lots of media spew right now about banning semi-automatic weapons.

In Revolutionary days, battles were fought with muskets... that's what everybody had... government/military and civilians.

The "right to bear arms" was to enable the people to defend themselves against oppressive government.... not robbers and thieves. And now that government/military has automatic weapons, citizens should be allowed to have them too. (For citizens to have muskets while the military has M4s, would be no protection at all.)

good valid point.
