"Nobody is violating free speech. If the government actively condoned it, they would be."

Practically speaking, it is condoning it by not prosecuting the thefts.

"Stop trying to take a moral highground when none exists."

There's always a moral high ground. Freedom of speech, freedom from persecution, right to property: all moral high ground.

"you didn't talk about the right's vandalizing's signs being "right or wrong" but you said it was in the minority, and gave anecdotes, no real sourcing. SOURCE DAMNIT MAN"

Vandalism is wrong, no matter what. I'm just noting that it is far more frequent and extreme on the left. If you want a non-anecdotal source, I'm afraid there has been no professional study done in the area.

If you werent some spoiled brat man id love to see you try to peddle this tripe on the corner. Youd be in a stockade by noon getting eggs and cabbages hurled at you.

@brainbomb

NO! it does not violate the constitution, that is wrong


@leon1122

my problem with that asshole is when he creates a ground breaking medicine, and tries to push through bullshit patent rights that the government specifically has denied, so he can hoard his discovery.

"There's always a moral high ground. "
NEVER FUCKING EVER IN POLITICS YOU'RE IDEOLOGICALLY CORRUPT BY THE IDEA THAT THAT IS A FUCKING THING AND IT BOTHERS THE LIVING FUCK OUT OF ME YOU'RE WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS COUNTRY

If he has ownership of the medicine, he can set whatever price he wants. Without his company, the medicine wouldn't exist, and you would have nothing to bitch about. Patents are essential to creative motivation.

While yard signs may not have much inherent value, allowing their vandalism gradually builds up to an oppressive political atmosphere and eventually a totalitarian form of government.

Yes leon we are aware republicans love their signs and bumper stickers and flags and freedom of speech. That is when its signs telling minorities to get out...

Or the freedom to wave a rebel flag on your pickup... funny thats not my country but ok... oh collin kaepernick. He got death threats for freedom of speech...

Hillary for prison shirts too. A guy wore one to my 4th of july party. He changed shirts after an hour because nobody would talk to him.

@leon1122

yes i know, but the LAW (funny thing law is) dictates in this world, despite the god you so worship as the free market.

there is an AIDs "epidemic" by WHO standards, therefore your individual rights have now been forfeited

@leon1122

whether you agree with that is a different debate, the adherence to the law can not be argued.

You can be a idiot. But dont try to claim you are being impressed when everyone looks at you like youre "that neighbor".the 37 signs and a rebel flag guy.

"If you werent some spoiled brat man id love to see you try to peddle this tripe on the corner. Youd be in a stockade by noon getting eggs and cabbages hurled at you."

Here, brainbomb demonstrates exactly what I'm talking about, the violent reaction of the left to ideas that they consider "offensive".

"my problem with that asshole is when he creates a ground breaking medicine, and tries to push through bullshit patent rights that the government specifically has denied, so he can hoard his discovery."

I'm not very familiar with this story, but how did he sell the medicine without anyone copying the idea if the government denied his patent?

"NEVER FUCKING EVER IN POLITICS YOU'RE IDEOLOGICALLY CORRUPT BY THE IDEA THAT THAT IS A FUCKING THING AND IT BOTHERS THE LIVING FUCK OUT OF ME YOU'RE WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS COUNTRY"

Guess what, I don't care what bothers you, and using all caps isn't going to change my mind. I like how you failed to address how freedom of speech, right to property, and everything else I listed is morally equivalent to vandalism and violence. Would you also say that Roosh V is on morally equal ground to any sane person?

@brainbomb

if you have a problem with freedom of speech, suck it. It's a great thing. It doesn't always transmit great ideas, but it's wonderful! It allows for a free flow of ideas. Restricting or censoring ideas is evil. If you'd like to argue that, then that's fine

i'll win though.

@leon1122

sorry about that, my second post had the stipulation: during times of an epidemic, and it's the WHO not US gov't

No I agree with the right to call bigots, trump supporters, rebel flag wavers and all other form of ignprant fucks what they are.

So im all about belittling people who are imbeciles. Beauty of freedom of speech. That said leon clearly would get his ass beat if he tried to say this stuff irl.

I've got work to do. See you morons later.

@brainbomb

you're on the EDGE of inciting violence, which IS illegal.

meanwhile you also endorsed trashing signs on private property which IS illegal

Leon is more the ass, You are more the criminal

HOLY SHIT THAT IS THIS ELECTION IN A NUTSHELL

Im on the edge of falling asleep on cold/cough medicine. Ease up lil susie.

Allowing vandalism leads to a totalitarian government? I'm calling it, this is definitely a parody account.

Obviously I dont want leon to get beat up. I can woop him in gunboat and be far more satisfied.

Im having a hard time fathoming what he must think street art is then... my god were talking hitler marries polpot kinda shit here. BANKSY you Evil man.

Hey yanik just for the record what happens to 99% of political signs once the candidate loses? If you say the answer I think you will im just saying 'expedite'.

Free speech is not unimpeachable and universal.
A) No, the government is not condoning this behavior. If charges are brought, a misdemeanor will be filed for these individual cases. That's how the law works.
B) You're the same guy who claimed the Yaroyava law was more than fine because it "kept people who didn't want to be preached to from being preached to," but don't the evangelists get free speech in a similar situation?
C) What if speech intentionally incites a riot? Still protected?
D) I'm not saying violence is okay or any of that shit in any of what I'm saying, if you had the brains to read. I'm just saying constantly putting conservatives up as a white knight gold standard of moral infallibility is a super dangerous way to approach politics. I'd say the same of liberals.

"Here, brainbomb demonstrates exactly what I'm talking about, the violent reaction of the left to ideas that they consider "offensive"."
Funny, since conservatives do the same fucking thing about progressive ideas.

"While yard signs may not have much inherent value, allowing their vandalism gradually builds up to an oppressive political atmosphere and eventually a totalitarian form of government."
Gotta applaud how slippery and slopy his logic is.

BANKSY does vandalize

i like a lot of his work, but it's still vandalism.

i mean... you can argue "civil disobedience" but BANKSY has like zero impact on real shit

alright i have a german test peeps. Auf wiedersehen

Tchuss

I have to laugh that he claimed I was inciting violence when I said people would be throwing cabbages and eggs at him in a stockade like its 1786.

alright imma sleep now here is a happy note
