And others are insisting on hive mind conformity. I am a proud Libertarian - I don't give a rip what your traditions are or what you believe. Salute, kneel, fly any flag you wish, cut off your body parts or add a few, call yourself a guy or a girl or a rhinoceros, worship (or not) - I don't care. Just because something is important to you does not make it important to me. I won't force my beliefs on you and I won't accept you forcing yours upon me. I believe in actual freedom - unlike the make believe "Patriots" that only support "freedom" when it supports their beliefs. I am not offended when others make decisions contrary to my own. As long as they do so peaceably and do not attempt to force these decisions upon me. My thoughts, my beliefs, my actions are mine and mine alone - I may agree with you on one issue and disagree 180 degrees on another. But agreeing with you on a singular issue does not require me to conform to your thoughts, beliefs or actions regarding any other "tradition" or "trend". The danger of being an intelligent human being is the ability to see both sides of an argument - some will never suffer that issue. As for word salad - I tend to choose words and phrasing that exceed the sixth grade reading level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creeker, SASS #43022 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 @Subdeacon Joe And while we're casting stones - for all your posturing about "respect" and "society"... Are you still a "Guest"? Are you ever going to join SASS? Pay dues? Seems rather hypocritical to hold yourself up as some paragon of decency when you refuse to pay for the soapbox you stand upon to make snide comments about me.

Yeah! As a "guest", (I seem to remember a story there), it just stands to reason that you MUST be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You and I have crossed swords, so to speak, a couple of times, but we always manage to hand back gouged eyeballs and torn off ears and sit down with a cup of coffee or something.

We've crossed swords, but we're in agreement on things about 90% of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Rustler, SASS #26680 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Supposing you knock the hat off a guy recovering from skin cancer who doesn't want the sun on his scalp, who's the bad guy now? Maybe he's covering up a big scar he got defending you freedom? And maybe just maybe the freedom he fought for doesn't mean as much to some people as they claim?
