Speaking of the feminists, and all of that crap, it started back in the 1960s. In the 1980s I boarded a plane for a flight. After we were airborne, I wanted the "Flight Attendant" so I called her by...

Speaking of the feminists, and all of that crap, it started back in the 1960s. In the 1980s I boarded a plane for a flight. After we were airborne, I wanted the "Flight Attendant" so I called her by...
There can be no such criminal thing as "Verbal assault" under the First Amendment to our Constitation. Is "verbal assault" defined as criminal in the state where you live? "Hate speech" is the same...
Calling someone a (vicious) name may be considered verbal assault but I can't believe that it's a crime. To physically assault someone is a crime. (A threat is a crime, but calling smeone a name, by...
It appears to me that that is exactly what you did in post #127!
Reverting back to my childhood days, "Stcks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me!" In any case, calling someone a name isn't justification for that person to assault you. If...
Just a point on this subject. If a person called someone an .............. and the person who was called an .............. attacked the other person, who would be in violation of the law? Have we...
Our "Bill of Rights" DEFINES what rights that the government must RECOGNIZE!
"Nit flicked off my finger!"
Just taking some of your reply out of context. Probably, as is the case when you get any "service" (employment is a service) from any big corporation, you have to sign a contract that forces you to...
What do you think of the Ray Rice incident?
Then, Are you a collectivist or an individualist (or something in between)? An individualist is someone who believes that his/her rights, as defined in...
The Treasury Department of the US government prints the currency that the federal reserve banks order and gives it to them free of charge. I stand on what I said in my previous post!
Actualy...
You're mistaken about who prints the currency. The Treasury Department of the federal government prints the currency and gives it to the federal reserve banks. The federal reserve banks then loan it...
I agree with you on gold based currency, but fiat currency can not only be manipulated to a degree but the main thing that causes it to elevate in value and devalue is the economy in general. Ever...
[QUOTE=MutantJohn;1209924]You can't claim any money devoid of the government because it's the government that says the money you have has any value to begin with! Like, there is no money without the...
The trouble is that most of the stuff I read or saw when I was a kid back in the 1940s and 1950s have become outdated by modern technology. I remember "The Forbidden Planet" from the 1050s. It's...
OK, I'll accept that as an explanation of what you meant. Race relations are a whole lot better now than when I was a kid, but we still have a ways to go. The trouble with police and politics is that...
I thought this was just an open discussion on whatever applies to the current status of events and I forgive you for insinuating that I am a racist. I explained in post #81 why I determined before I...
Yeah! That should happen in a few billion years!
You're fomenting the same thing that is stirring up the people in Feguson who are throwing molotov coctails and other things at the police who are trying to maintain order. I say you are full of...
For the past 30-40 years the only thing that has kept the United States of America afloat is entrepreneurs' use of science to keep ahead of the "Drunken Sailor" like federal government that has put...
Yeah, Ayn Rand wrote "Atlas Shrugged" way back in the 1950s. Today it's not concidered PC by the tyrants that rule us.
A tyrant is a tyrant even if elected. People forget that Adolf Hitler was...
I thought everyone knew that Reagan said that government is not the anwser (the federal) govenrment is the problem and I agree with that. I quoted Madison because the quote says that government power...
both!
Funny you should mention privately owned things. Long before the federal government built the interstate highway system, the railroads were built and operated by private businesses. All of the...
I gather you were trying to be sarcastic? Well you missed the point. The people with very large incomes don't pay taxes on much of it, they put most of it into tax exempt foundations. It would be...
Check the vote by the Kentucky Senate. I'd say that 22-9 against the amendment was a rejection rather than an acceptance of the 16th Amendment. Check the record of the Oklahoma legislature that shows...
