Man arrested for carrying "F U G B" sign
http://www.duluthsuperior.com/mld/du...al/8664932.htm
I'm a republican, but I'm voting for Kerry. This kind of garbage is out of control. Ashcroft is the most dangerous man since J. Edgar Hoover. This country is totally farked. |

Platteville Police Lt. Tom Schmid said a business owner along the street had complained about the sign, and officers thought children might see it. Van den Bosch wrote the letters "r e e" and "s" in tiny print, Schmid said.
"We had to take some action," Schmid said. "If we were wrong, then the citation will be voided and taken care of that way. That's the way the system is supposed to work." No you assclown.....thats definately not how it works...you cant ARREST somebody becasue you think you might be right... fucking patriot act. |

Eh, disorderly conduct sounds about right. The guy was definitely attention whoring & was creating a situation where there could definitely been an ass-whipping involved. |

Then arrest the thugs who attack him, rather than the guy exercising constitutionally protected rights.

It's the culture that this administration has created where individual rights are less important than anything tenuously connected to terrorism. Notice how the Bush administration tries to connect people like this guy, the guy in S.C. (Brett Bursey), and the others to "threats against the president" (a.k.a. terrorists) even though that logic is ridiculous. I'm a libertarian/republican who values my right to be free from arrest for speech that those in power may dislike. This administration does not share that view. They will not be getting my vote again. |

People like the ones in this thread lend more evidence to the fact that I am not at home in the republican party anymore. I wish libertarians had a clue on how to get elected.

Things like this has been going on for decades/centuries. It gets more attention now because 1) media wants to create perception and 2) we have a public eager for "news" like this. How can you blame "them" for the culture when the public demands security. Go look at all of those polls the clearly shows that the public favors security over privacy. Go look at all of those Congressional representatives (including yours) that gleefully passed the Patriot Act (which the DoJ is doing job that is mandated by Congress, including laws that has been on the books for many years). You know I am a vocal libertarian so I am not making excuses. I am just pointing out the double standard: everyone wants nothing to happen but when measures are taken to ensure that nothing happens, the same people become critical. |

Bucc, the polls now show Bush behind. Polls change with the wind. In fact, I have seen plenty of polls that indicate people are very nervous with this administration's policies concerning individual freedom.
We'll just have to see in November. That's a poll that means something. |

Now Hurst, I ain't bitchin' at you, and I'm not trying to be an ass to you, so I hope you take this as a general remark & not a personal one, but ... I keep answering this question when I see it, and I really don't understand why it even occasionally surprises anyone when things get nasty in a political thread. It's because the two sides really don't like each other. Not hardly a little bit. And often, we find that we downright dislike the other side. And sometimes, we sincerely & deeply fucking hate each other. I don't really believe (R) or (D) have much to do with it, those are just labels that are handy to apply to the vast amount of differences in beliefs & values that drive the two sides, a sort of time-saving shorthand that covers a lot of territory. Sort of like the "Here's Your Sign" song talks about, it saves a lot of time if you know certain things up front. But that's why political threads have a tendency to get nasty -- it's because each side is pretty much diametrically opposed to the goals/wants/ needs/desires of the other. And under most circumstances, people in that situation are called "enemies". And most people aren't particuarly nice to their enemies. Jon |

I wasn't speaking of "polls" such as these. But I call BS on your statement because 1) people don't know what individual freedom means, 2) half of any respondents will automatically say the opposite of the current administration and 3) they still want the security. |

One guess where these guys polled in on the "show youre age" thread.
By the way I'm being sarcastic.

Speaking as one of the targets of that comment, I really wasn't bothered by it. Not one iota. He was being honest. Blunt, but honest. And I got no problem with that. Hell, I prefer it to somebody who wiggles & waffles & suffers constant chafing from their efforts to always straddle the fence. Now, it ain't real likely that he & I are going to exchange Christmas cards. Nor do I think it'd be a real good idea for us to have lunch together, or for anyone to invite us to a party with an open bar & then seat us together. But I don't think it's a stretch to think that we knew that before this thread ever started. Anyhoo, I'm not trying to step on your right to comment on his comment, that's your call not mine. I'm just saying that I wasn't really offended by his post in the least. Jon {edited to add} And FTR (not to Cuckoo, just in general), I'm about as quick-trigger, hard-ass, heavy-handed moderator style as you'll ever find. But I don't see anything that remotely warrants a banning or even a warning in this thread. (but hey, it's early yet ) Last edited by JonInMiddleGA : 05-15-2004 at 10:08 PM.

I certainly agree. What some here do not realize because they are too young or only have short-term memories is that it was exactly like this 8 years ago, 20 years ago, 32 years ago, and the farther you go back, it gets much, much worse. History repeats itself because not many even know their history or how to put perspective on things. |

I don't get how that pertains to me. I have a pretty good grasp of political history, and a damn good memory. I just don't know what this has to do with guys taking cheap shots in a thread about something that could be pretty interesting to read, if all the 'fuck's' and 'kill you's were taken out of the mix. I know it can be done, even with the barbarians here.

The problem with this is that people have been brainwashed into thinking that you can't have one without sacrificing the other. Both main idealogies are so hell-bent on proving one way is better than the other that they don't step back and realize security and privacy can coexist rather nicely. But since these idealogies use this as a foundation of opposition for the sake of opposition, it will continue. (good post btw)

Read the First Amendment again, esp. how it begins. One can engage in "free speech" while violating numerous local laws. Such was a common tactic by the KKK in exercising their right to free speech in burning crosses and vocally hating blacks. So should their should be no sense of Hate Speech laws on the books? |

And, to be completely honest, I don't really care one way or another about his comparison. I knew it wouldn't hurt anyone's feelings. I just wanted to point out, as a few others have, that it's an incredibly ignorant comment. Now, as far as his wishing death upon another forum member... Joke or not, I think that's going too far. |
