I’m aware, this topic went way off.
comment in response to
post
Yeah and that can be applied across the board. But again I’m not aware of any case where someone was arrested for waiving a flag on that alone.

Far as I know no one has went to jail for having a flag. As offensive as it may be.

Yeah it’s fine. Here’s the thing, and this is where I stand, free speech is free speech. People are allowed to have bad opinions like you’ve said punishment doesn’t help. Education does. So AOC calling people criminals who carry flags, that’s not going to help either. Like I’ve said as far as I 1/x

Ok fine, whatever this has went way off topic.

Yeah have you been to any? My grandmother escaped Nazi Germany when I played in NFL Europe I went to a couple of them. Very eye opening.

That wasn’t directed at you. Someone else called me “strange”
comment in response to

Ok that’s your opinion which you’re entitled to have. Read up to the top part and I said I agree with AOC on everything but them being criminals. They’re not, under the law now. However if you want to try and change that there’s a process for that. You’re not alone, but the law says they’re not.

Like flags, as a matter of fact find me a case where someone in the United States got criminally charged for displaying something offensive that wasn’t overturned by ultimately a higher court. I’ll wait…

Hamas is the leader of Palestine. However this is going off topic. I said free speech allows bad opinions and carrying flags one doesn’t agree with. It doesn’t make anyone a criminal based on that alone. Incitement to riot and other things based off of “free speech limits” don’t cover symbols, 1/x

You’re fucking strange you can’t read or follow an argument.
comment in response to

Yeah exactly, that’s part of the problem.
comment in response to

Ok what you just said makes no sense.
comment in response to
post
That’s not true OR The confederacy isn’t bc it doesn’t exist anymore. Also the swastika/Nazi Germany doesn’t exist either. You can’t have it both ways. Hamas is our enemy, like it or not and they currently lead Palestine. Mexico we’ve been at war with them before. You can’t have it both ways.
comment in response to

Thank you, you just made my point. A person is entitled to waive a confederate flag, or a Nazi flag just as much as they’re allowed to waive the Palestinian flag or the Mexico flag.
comment in response to
post
Ok so I guess at that point the Mexico flag and the Palestinian flag become a problem too, right?
comment in response to

I have a question about being above the law, but at this point idk if it’s worth asking. But will ask anyway, if someone is tried and convicted and gets a very light sentence is that getting away with it or no?
comment in response to
post
Also you might want to ask about waiving the Palestinian Flag outside the same venue?
comment in response to
post
Is it ok? No. Is it legal? Ask the Westboro Baptist Church or better yet ask the same Supreme Court (except one justice) that decided Roe v Wade and American Nationalist Socialist Workers Party v Skokie, IL.
comment in response to
post
Yeah but carrying a flag of a defeated cause or a foreign country doesn’t fall under any of that. So again carrying a flag is not illegal.
comment in response to
post
I agree with you on everything except your last sentence. Everyone is entitled to their opinion even if it’s bad. A bad opinion is not against the law. Free speech is paramount to this country.

That last one is true for a lot of people still R or D.

This has been a thing for decades btw.

The corporate media is a joke. I recommend stop watching it altogether. Watch the clips.

Now hold a second did Ted Cruz or Sean Gilmartin’s wife go to Harvard?

Hey I actually love the Reese’s Peanut Butter. More protein in it than others too if I recall correctly.

Well one of them did anyway. Al Lewis was the name. He died in 2006.

The actual actor who played Grandpa Munster ran for governor of New York, but lost in the primary.

I saw that. But that stuff can be rebuilt, again every barrel of oil bought means he will get funding to rebuild. I think they should stop buying oil from him cold turkey. I think that’s still the fastest way to stop him.
comment in response to
post
Yeah I fat fingered 2025. Well we shall see. But every barrel of oil they buy from Russia keeps funding his war machine.
comment in response to
post
Can’t they do it by end of 2925 though?
comment in response to
post
Yes correct and I acknowledged as much, but still the whole truthful unvarnished history should be taught.
comment in response to
post
Here’s my issue on that, one would think that if they wanted to stop Putin they would stop buying oil and energy from Putin. That’s why he’s able to fund this war. Common sense would be to stop buying altogether.

Gambling and reproductive rights should be legal everywhere. Common sense.
comment in response to

Hopefully they stop buying energy from Russia altogether too…

When you say tax the rich, I hope you mean raising the capital gains tax rate.

There’s another component to this issue. Someone gets a surgery/may have chronic pain. When a doctor cuts them off they’ll need anything to fight pain, so they could turn to illegal drugs.
comment in response to

I think it should be taught, the whole completely unvarnished truth. This would include history. Just wait until they find out what political party was pushing slavery then out Jim Crowe laws in effect. Now the other party’s history isn’t any better, especially considering the modern era.
comment in response to

I gotta slightly disagree here, it’s the Republican and Republican Lite Democrats that don’t give a damn.
comment in response to
post
Yeah and I’m going to tell you if you or anyone on here speaks to their member of Congress, they need to make the Capital Gains tax rate a higher one, or make it more progressive.

I never believed that a “Deep State” exists, however what happens in Washington is very complicated and confusing. I do think that’s done by design now.
comment in response to

That seems to be a very common occurrence. I’ve gotten 3 of them already.

I would like to ask a question, where does the money go? Does it go into new weapons? Or is it for food or other general support?
comment in response to

Big shock…hate to say this, but this is a major problem in Washington and it’s part of the rot and corruption put on by the Republican and Republican Lite Democrats.

Two things 1. I agree with you and I’m all for a national strike day and 2. Those whom do not study history are doomed to repeat it.
comment in response to

So far I’ve had no takers.
comment in response to
post
I don’t disagree with what you said there I am only merely pointing out other people’s reasons as to why not. If you want to talk about organizing a national strike I have said this I will personally throw in some of my own money to help those that might miss a days pay that really needs it.

It’s the system that allowed it to happen. A lot of the leadership ignored the citizens for decades and when that happens every time in human history a fake populist strong man entered the fray and that’s what you end up with.
