Oh heck, to put things in parlance probably familiar to FreeMe... gentlemen, we have a runaway train here... this makes post #158 unless someone else is typing as I speak...

OK Joe, you can let your neighbor sell cocaine to your kids, which he won't of course because in a free society we are all responsible individuals, and your kids won't ask him anyway 'cause you taught 'em not to, in which case they will of course and if he does sell 'em cocaine you can just shoot him in defense of your family, and maybe shoot his buddies when they come to shoot you because they didn't think that cocaine dealing ought to be a capitol offense because after all your responsible kids asked him, all of which might involve car chases which will be hard to spot on account of everyone drives like they're in Mexico anyway... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Sorry Joe, no actual disrespect intended, must be my ethnicity acting up again <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Which brings us to a more interesting debate than ol' Hitler... How about one on a comparison of the Federal Govt vs. the Confederacy with respect to individual rights within both during the Civil War...

Which of course brings up History. Please no one EVER start spouting off college degrees as evidence for intelligence or whatever, unless you actually invented something useful. I have two such degrees myself, and hence know that college mostly involves reading books and then writing stuff about what other people wrote, which can be done at home far more cheaply (here, for instance), except of course there prob'ly ain't several thousand co-eds living in immediate proximity to your house.

See y'all on some OTHER thread <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />.
