No, you just have to understand that the especially radical element knows how to time their attacks to get the wider support of airheads who would otherwise not necessarily be as supportive. It's all in the timing. You provide the spark, and they'll provide the fire. Time and again. And you just can't help playing with matches. Now go ahead and draw a few more feet of freedom rope.Quote from CaptainObvious:
...After all, you believe movies cause otherwise peaceful protesters to become heavily armed, highly skilled terrorist raiders capable of coordinating sophisticated battle tactics.
Quote from BSAM:
Brother Check, I don't see Perot as a failure.
Remember, he ran a third party and made a huge impact.
A sign, then, of things to come.
It's the only hope for our political situation.
Perot was a pioneer.
If the US government ceased all spending today, with the exception of making the interest payments on its debt, it would be taking in somewhere between five and six times as much in tax revenue as it would be paying out. (Some consideration would have to be made for GDP shrinkage, of course, unless you believe GDP would grow, which makes the case even better.) We are solvent, we are not becoming Greece.Quote from BSAM:
Very soon we will all be able to vacation in Greece without having to go there.

The important thing is that you defend the making of such movies and the burning of korans knowing full well that innocent lives will be lost somewhere in the world, because it will be used by evil bastards as an excuse to incite hatred among unthinking crowds while they perpetrate violence. And guys like you keep falling into their hands with your "freedoms" outrage and a complete disregard for the real world, warts and all. You know that definition of insanity, right, doing the same thing over again expecting a different outcome?Quote from CaptainObvious:
...As if we are somehow to blame for this idiotic movie...
Your "breathing" includes defending the very conduct that elicits the outrage of unthinking people who would otherwise not necessarily be incited by the thugs who wish to do you harm. You defend the idiots who keep giving oxygen to those who wish you dead.Quote from CaptainObvious:
...The "spark" is that they are extremely violent and we happen to be breathing.
