Sorry, I though we were talking about some guy who made records. What "terrorists" are you talking about? Are they the same "terrorists" as the ones in Gitmo, more and more of whom are now being released because it turns out they are guilty of nothing more than being Muslim and having brown skin?Quote:

Then kindly point out the contradictions. One was done by the government - ie the Canadian school system - which the article and you lead me to believe was a governmental enterprise - the other was done by a private enterprise.Quote:

The only contradiction in my postion is that I hold government agencies to a higher standard of behavior then I do private enterprises. Because in the United States Freedom of Speech provides you protection from the government - but still requires you to be responsible for what you say and do.
Freedom of speech only means the government can not sanction you for your thoughts - it does not mean private enterprises can not. Freedom of speech entitles you not to be arrested or harassed by the government because of what you say, or believe. However Freedom of Speech does not protect you from individuals or private business from refusing to deal with you anylonger.
How do you know I meant you, Red?Quote:

I don't - but I see how you ignored my counter to your attempt at saying my arguement on this individual was hypocrisy. But I am sure your more pointing your finger at PJ while ignoring the other 3 fingers pointed at yourself.Quote:

Well, we all have our 'bad' debating habits around here. Mine is hyperbole (stretching somebody else's argument beyond where they intended it) and yours is attributing false motives. I am going to spare you that, but suffice it say, had I wanted to treat you the way you frequently treat Panzer, I could really let you have it over this. Remember that, just cause your position looks bad doesn't mean the person meant it badly.Quote:

But he didn't. I'm torn on his motives, and most of me thinks he was just stupid, but a very loud minority thought is going on that this guy intended exactly what he said.
After watching 3000 of my countrymen die, I'm not willing to take chances, and I sure as shit don't think it's something to joke about or get rich off.
Bye the way the guy said today hes glad he got fired as it gave him more publicity than he could ever have hoped for and hopes it will land him a recording contract.
I hope he enjoys his 30 seconds of fame. ~:cheers: Those spotlights that are on him are the ones leading Bubba, Jim-Bob and Wayne Lee on their drive up from San Antonio. I hope like hell he was smart enough to ask for police protection, because something tells me, in the next few days, he's going to really need it. Though, as SCOTUS just pointed out, they're under no obligation to lift a finger to help him unless they see the crime being committed.
Getting a rap recording contract...hmm...with all the shootouts at rap studios, that might be a death sentence. ~DQuote:
