This…”Hopefully, for you, you’ll find a skill which earns you enough money to go somewhere where you’ll have all the freedoms you need”
was a response to ….”if I could afford to move there, I would.”
not..“lazy, leechy Leftist”.
“They are still being treated unequally based on religious tradition, and that is an injustice.”
— No, we covered this already. They are being treated equally. Any man (even a gay one), can marry any woman (even a gay one). You don’t like the argument but it is a valid one. It is not a religious tradition it is human tradition. We covered this in talking about every other culture (until the Europeans and Canadians of the last few years) having this very definitive understanding about what marriage means. You don’t like that argument either so you got us caught up in the polygamy issue. Even polygamists marry only the opposite sex.
The Bill of Rights and the Constitution only protect Americans. You don’t like that. I don’t really care.
“I don’t care about my tribe – I care about rights. I care about humanity in general.”
— You don’t care about the real people who contribute to making the environment you spawned from. You care about ethereal notions like humanity in general and issues with such broad dimension as rights. Self-interest doesn’t mean as much to you but you have principles. You understand real principles like freedom and rights and civil rights and human rights and dignity. See, you only have issues with other people’s religion. Your religion, the Church of Humanity, is perfectly valid. Bigots, “screw em”. Misogynists, “screw em”. The lustful, “screw em”. Real people, “screw em”. They are not worthy of freedom. The pure of heart, the oppressed, the poor, the ignorant, the lame, they deserve the freedom you’ll not give the lecher who avoids the temptation to hurt another human being by avoiding them. He should have the strength to overcome that lust or “screw em”. Thats what I mean by crapping the bed.
It doesn’t take long to scratch the surface of a militant freedom writer before you find the intolerance they’ve projected onto others.
I know what fascist means. Fascist is a term used to describe a system where the state controls just about every aspect of a person’s life, like education, healthcare, pensions, business practices, speech, what is written, what is on stage, what is on film. To my mind, the propensity towards fascism is much more a feature of the left today then on the right.
“Because it might help him overcome his predjudice, for one.”
Or not.
“Piss off. I understand real, practical liberty, for all people – you only believe in sham liberty. I’m Captain Fucking America compared to you.”
Or not.
“They should be protected by decency and a true belief in freedom and human rights – not just for Americans, but for everyone.”
Or not.
“They have the right to give it a shot, sure, but I doubt they will be able to compete with FOX or any of the other major news networks. It’s structured to shut out competition.”
Or not.
All those pent up assumptions have driven you to a tedious form of sensitivity. Your superior sensitivity to freedom is your religion mate. I was you once. I don’t miss that bigot one bit. I much prefer the bigot my son will become if we don’t let idealistic fools like yourself ruin his chances.
