Where did I say it wasn’t?
It was your tone and implication, asshole.
ETA: You may not have noticed this, but we aren’t retarded. Shit, even the mentally handicapped know when someone’s an asshole.
And if they were Chandler Bing, they would say “Can you BE more spcific about whom you are speaking?”
Ah a liberal mind-reader. Amazing how many there are.
That’s not the litmus test you applied when you were accusing others of opposing free speech. You know, back when you cared about free speech. You know, when it was Nazis doing it.
I care about free speech. If someone beat up that kneeler, I’d condemn it and advocate for the beater’s prosecution. I was just wondering how far people on the left are willing to excuse it. Kneeling during an anthem at a football game - ok. Kneeling during Taps at the Tomb of the Unknown? So far we have two saying that’s fine. Any more?
How early in your life did kneeling take on such a sinister aspect, that it automatically now is a sign of disrespect?
Liberals are fine with free speech. Conservatives, however, are threatening to murder people for kneeling. I see your commitment to defending free speech doesn’t extend to condemning conservatives for the murder threats.
This veteran is fine with it. It’s peaceful and entirely non-disruptive. It’s hard to imagine a less disruptive or more peaceful way to protest.
Look, asshole, I told you that, for many people, IT’S THE HIGHEST FORM OF RESPECT. So you now have something against Catholics, twat?
Looks respectful to me.
I called out a veteran on this last time this was big. He tried to argue I didn’t respect veterans. I told him that I respect veterans who don’t argue against freedom of speech. Got him to admit that he had no right to try and silence me. It was nice.
You were wrong. His arguing that you didn’t respect veterans was exercising his freedom of speech. And then you tried to silence him. Did you have that right?
It sounds like they both had an adult debate that resolved to both of their satisfaction.
Why do both of your faces look like buttocks?
This is the face of the modern left! - YouTube - just wondering by what name that woman goes on SDMB?
How delusional do you have to be to think that you can harm someone’s freedom of speech by merely arguing with them?
Oh, I get it. You’ve never actually ever convinced anyone of anything before, so the idea that I might have changed his mind must’ve been me doing some magic voodoo to make him say those things.
I’ve since also told him how offending you is the point, since you aren’t offended by the injustice these guys are protesting. And that the only way to get them to stop would be to start pushing for plans that would fix the racial disparity in cops. If, say, he started pushing for cops who killed people unnecessarily to go to jail and face time.
This whole thing would be over if you’d just listen. But you’d rather create dictatorial levels of requiredpatriotism. Stand and pledge to precious leader, or be punished!
You were that delusional when you said in your post that he was “arguing against freedom of speech” and was trying to silence you.
Okra, you are not responding to me. Scared to admit you don’t respect the beliefs of the largest Christian organization in the US?
Huh? I am Jewish. Catholic doctrine has absolutely no relation to me.
