What's wrong with expressing your opinions on political events? From what a know of the law (and I'm not a lawyer, so take all this with a grain of salt) your speech is protected, but your actions aren't. That's fine with me. So what's up with these facists jailing people for their opinion? Gah I can't even think straight now. Up yours John Ashcroft.Look what you and the President have turned this country into. _______________ My car is made of Nerf. |

Freedom is an illusion!!!
Democracy no longer works!!! War may well be unavoidable in certain circumstances, the unprovoked invasion of a country however is. |

That's what I'm saying Plo. Your opinion of his opinion is that it is bad. I agree that war is bad. But in certain instances it is unavoidable.
Believe me, I'm one of the least violent people I know. I've never been in a fist fight in 33 yrs. Heck, I don't even kill spiders in my house. _______________ Midbie Council Member #2 - Profile ID 2073 | Member of B@rtM@ulS@ar | Owner of Monty's 2000th comment & D@RtHM@UL's 8100th comment | Former Padawan of SilkMonkey & Arcuss JA Goaltender & NHL Fan | Fellow Rush fan to Axion|Plo Koon is my oldest JA friend Post your RL pics HERE! | Post you JK2/JK3 screenies HERE! |

Spawn if you don't think people are able to express themselves without starting to yell or scream at eachother then you're living in a different world than I am. If we are afraid to express our opinions then we're living in an oppressive society where we should all walk in straight lines and kids are encouraged to tell what their parents say about the government that is negative. _______________ When you are going through Hell, keep going. -Sir Winston Churchill. Those who seek power and control of others, no matter the level, no matter the intentions, should never be given it. |

Well, that's your opinion of his opinion. If he feels that way, it's his right to express it. Now if he was trying to start a war, that would be a whole different story.
There's no such thing as a good or bad opinion. _______________ Midbie Council Member #2 - Profile ID 2073 | Member of B@rtM@ulS@ar | Owner of Monty's 2000th comment & D@RtHM@UL's 8100th comment | Former Padawan of SilkMonkey & Arcuss JA Goaltender & NHL Fan | Fellow Rush fan to Axion|Plo Koon is my oldest JA friend Post your RL pics HERE! | Post you JK2/JK3 screenies HERE! |

Uhm DJ personaly I dont think we should start a war on this subject in the Academy so if you think about it what you are saying very easily could and might start a fight.

But saying war is great and good is not a good opinion. I bet if you ask most of the soldiers over there if they really want to kill anyone at all except saddam they'd probably say no. _______________ When you are going through Hell, keep going. -Sir Winston Churchill.

Well its been accused of becoming fascist before.

I was just thinking about the guy in the mall again.
OK, let's just say that this guy was in fact hassling other people, why would he have to take his T-shirt off? _______________ Midbie Council Member #2 - Profile ID 2073 | Member of B@rtM@ulS@ar | Owner of Monty's 2000th comment & D@RtHM@UL's 8100th comment | Former Padawan of SilkMonkey & Arcuss JA Goaltender & NHL Fan | Fellow Rush fan to Axion|Plo Koon is my oldest JA friend Post your RL pics HERE! | Post you JK2/JK3 screenies HERE! |

That would only be right if that one guard were a general bufoon at his job or had other problems on his record. If not then follow the company rules he signed with. If he made a mistake fine, but he shouldnt be signaled out for what he did.

Was watching Fox News and they had an update on the man in the mall. They thought it was wrong that he was arrested to start off with. The charges against him have been dropped. And the guard that caused the incident was fired. Now ask yourself this, if this is the only thing the guard did, just one mistake, does that warrant firing him? It wasn't right to arrest the man and its not right to fire the security guard either. _______________ When you are going through Hell, keep going. -Sir Winston Churchill.

I'm not sure that teens are particularly malevolent creatures (I do recall being one, all those four years ago :p) I just think that by the age of 15, everyone has had cynicism beaten into them by society.
Teenagers are particularly cruel, but as mentioned on another thread, evil is a complete lack of empathy with your common man. From where I'm standing, most people in this world have become mind-bogglingly apathetic consumers. Power to the people Treb _______________ "He asked us 'Be you angels?' and we said 'Nay!
