Masterchief243, have you considered decaf? Some of the newer roasts are just as good as the caffinated stuff.
Boy, you’ve sure got the Dope pegged.
Wait, I thought that SDMB stood for ‘Shoot Democratic Muffin Bakers’. Are you telling me it isn’t?
VegemiteMoose, do not misattribute quotes, even to make a point.
Veb
Adam: Shhh. I’m trying to trick the guest. We can put back up the “Isn’t W just dreamy!?!” posters once he leaves.
Make up your mind. Are we waiting for Bush to give us talking points, or liberal bullies? And, by the way moron, virtually all of my extended family was butchered by the Nazis, and I’d be one of the first who’d support their rights to free speech.
You mean… you’ve come to a message board where people argue for idelogical points of view? Pull me up a chair, I feel faint!
We let them to paint here and there.
Yes.
Wow. You were in Compton. Luckily the entire country is just. Like. That.
Jeez, you’re a moron. Despite what your walnut sized dollop of grey matter tells you, Americans are not marching in lockstep. We have a rather lively culture of debate and discussion, and I’d wager that if you were to somehow gain enough coherence to post an OP in GD, you’d see people arguing both sides of AA.
And, no, you must be right, surely afirmative action has never been debated on the boards. Nope. Naw aww. Never.
The situation is not binary. America has problems and you’re a corpse felching maggot brained child. ~shrugs~ Ah well, eh? Can’t win 'em all.
i spel gud!
Ahem.
The point isn’t that “Canadians” are or aren’t anything, you’re the groupthinking moron here. The point is that we’re debating what free speech laws should and should not protect. Try to keep up.
Actually, you seem unable to comprehend the issue and to want to cast it in absolutely purile terms.
“lol. so um like if you dont like go out and march with the republicans then you dont really think that they should be allowed to march lol!”
You keep this up and you’ll make people appreciate Scott Plaid.
~checks calender~
Yep, it’s still the 21st century.
You could, also, see footage of whites marching along with blacks at Selma.
I live in the south right now, although those scum sucking fucks still exist, they’re not exactly mainstream anymore.
Your ignorance of American politics is probably only surprassed by your ignorance of proper hygiene.
- America is not monolithic.
- America is not run by monolithic forces.
- The toothbrush goes in your mouth not up your ass.
Ahem. Did it ever cross your festering synapses that, oh, I dunno… we oppose racism in our country and support free speech on ideoligical grounds? Didn’t think so.
Damn, you’ve got us pegged again! The only subject which is less controversal than George W. Bush is the Iraq war. We love it. Yep.
I’d hate like hell for any of our American friends (like, say, an impressionable twenty-year-old in South Dakota,) to get the impression that you’re any kind of an accurate representative of Canadian attitudes towards Americans.
Stirring up cross-border ill-will is not something that any proper Canuck should aspire to.
Sorry TVeblen, I honestly missed that rule somehow. Won’t happen again.
There are some rules which aren’t in stickies… 'least I don’t think they are. It’s a problem, and maybe one day I’ll go collect as many as I can and submit them with links so a mod can create a master faq. Right now, I’m lazy.
In any case: welcome to the Dope!
Thanks FinnAgain.
No prob Moose. The Dope is one of the best sites on the 'net, probably the best message board, definitely the best I’ve ever seen. We can always use new blood, and you seem to have a good head on your shoulder. I hope you consider signing up to be a member when your guest membership expires. If you can’t afford it, sometimes you can post a message in About This Message Board and others will float your bill for you.
Erm, I also assume you have two shoulders 
I pretty much have to sign up. I’m used to using thread subscriptions now and I won’t go back, I won’t I tell ya!
I’ve got the cost covered though.
well, you guys have done it again. all i read so far were a couple of hippies taking what i said out of context and telling me how wonderful their country is so of course it’s okay to tell us lowly canadians what to do and ho we should make our laws.
morans. lol. i saw that on a republican poster. it said “get a life morans”.
anyway. dont tell me about what advances you’ve made in your country. you’re still not there yet. nobody is. that’s what im trying to get across. when i first read this thread people were saying that canadians shouldnt have an anti-hate speech law.
i disagreed. i was just stating that a majority of canadians dont disagree with the law that passed. lol i never said ALL canadians didnt disagree.
so let’s see…for defending my country’s rights as a sovereign nation to make its own decisions concerning protecting jews from unneccessary public discriminations…
ive been called an intolerant asshole, anti-american, anti-freedom, idiot, bigot,…nazi(!?!)…and so forth.
someone told me to post here because these were arguably the best message boards on the net. i guess he was strictly pertaining to the Great Debates forum. alot of closed minds in here.
This is exactly what you don’t get, moran.
If the majority ruled all the time (like you seem to be saying works so well for you), I think we’d vote to shut you the hell up. Instead, you get to voice your opinion. Know why? Because opinions aren’t dangerous – only actions are. No one here’s barring you from voicing your opinion because we realize that discourse is healthy and good. And yes, we’re offering up our own opinions in return. That’s what makes it work.
I find it pretty ironic that the very thing you’re arguing against is what’s allowing you to make your argument.
Unbelievable. The only one here who has been claiming their country is better than anyone else’s is you.
Chiefey, you’re a moron.
If you’re put forward your positions in GD, you’d be Pitted for sure or at least ridiculed. You still can’t get it through your neutron dense skull that someone can think it should be legally allowed for Nazis to march without having to hold up a sign telling people not to launch a counter picket.
You’re a fucking mental midget. Go away.
D’oh!
“If you’re going to put forward…”
The fact remains, you’re no Doper. You’re of sub-standard intelligence. You’re a festering pile of ignorance. And you should most certainly not hang around once your guest membership is up. Leave. Go to a cartoon message board or something.
Or maybe you could get around to stinking up that other SD MB. You know, the local interest one in Sioux Falls.
That could work.
Wanna rephrase that first bit?
I don’t have to be waving a “Hooray for the Ku Kluxers!” banner to support their right to free speech…I merely have to demand that they be allowed to express their views. I personally know 2 klansmen and I would like nothing better than to get these guys an audience so that the general public would find out that their pre-conceived notions of klansman as functionally illiterate slackjawed yokels is correct in every respect.
And, FWIW,
On the American political spectrum I’m on the far right wing but I’ve opposed the bullshit “free speech zones” from day 1.
Sorry, the “Your” was supposed to be a generalization about the type of person who does that, I didn’t mean to inferr you said anything.
