Sounds like they don't have control of them then. Karl Marx, for instance, wouldn't have considered this stuff "socialidt". Just social.

But I'm really only playing devil's advocate, because again I absolutley agree with you.

Person (B) can be a life long pedophile, animal abuser, sadistic torturer, thief, and all around scumbag, but if on their deathbed they ask for a priest and decide to choose Jesus as their savior then they are granted entrance into heaven.

Talk about a vain deity.

Re: Free speech. There's always exceptions. Always. You'll get arrested if you yell fire in a movie theater or bomb on an airplane. If you publicly speak up about wanting to kill the president expect a visit from the Secret Service. If you run a newspaper and decide to print a story about pipe bombs including directions on how to build one, your paper will be shut down until the story is retracted. Just a few of many examples of exceptions to the whole Free Speech thing.

Some people just take the amendments too damn literal and black or white.

Re. the 2nd. Right to bear arms and how some people say that means zero exceptions. So any person should be able to own a fully automatic machine gun? A sawed off shotgun? Or should be able to just walk into a gun show and buy 50 handguns without any checks or balances?

And to those who hate socialism. You realize that your local fire and police departments are examples of socialism. Same goes for the post office and the interstate highway system. It's not all black or white in the real world in spite of what a lots of people's rhetoric would have you believe.

Do you need a Roxy Lesson on why you have the right to bear arms? And why the s.s. office shouldn't have any say so in who owns a gun?

Also Chula, I think your blind hatred of Christianity has you confused. But the only thing I wanna say to you,is ain't no atheists in a foxhole baby. ;)

I like how you just say things and act all pissed off and patriotic or whatever rather than actually making/refuting anyone's arguments. I'm actually pretty pro-gun for a Canadian pinko-commie, but seriously don't be lazy.

Nice job. You did a good job. You should be proud.

Seriously, if you're not willing to actually debate people of other viewpoints, why even make the thread?

I was being a bitch on purpose. Way to kill humor for dickishness sake.

So, like, tell me why I'm wrong.

Also bro, I made the thread then literally forgot I made it until I got texted about responses.... Shame on me for getting bombed on my day off yesterday and forgetting you people were responding. You know I leave my account logged in right?
