[quote]Making yourself look like a fool isn't going to rile me up, it's going to make me feel bad at how pathetic you are.[/quote] Oh noes. An idiotic fool on the internet thinks I'm a fool and pathetic. Lemme go eat a quart of chocolate ice cream. [quote]There is no such thing as absolute freedom. You're either free or you aren't.[/quote] So the concept of a grey area just completely escapes you. [quote]That is where you're wrong. We fight to protect our freedoms, but they are not granted to us.[/quote] Because I totally had to go fight that boar trying to take away my freedom of speech this morning. [quote]Thomas Jefferson wanted the Constitution to free slaves but it wouldn't have been ratified if they included it. He treated his slaves very well and that doesn't make him a hypocrite. Slaves were vital for the continuation of this country.[/quote] I didn't call out Jefferson. But I suppose you would mistake thinking that I did. Illiteracy is a horrible thing. [quote]Extremist? Far from it. I'd say oppressing people is extreme,[/quote] Except when your definition of oppression is extreme. [quote]especially when you lock them up over a harmless plant.[/quote] Cannabis isn't the only drug that people use. [quote]What have I declared openly in the past that you consider extreme? I can't wait for a response.[/quote] Go look at your post history. Close your eyes, spin around in a circle and poke your computer screen. 99% sure that whatever it lands on is extreme. [quote]It is when you don't have the authority to restrict free people.[/quote] Except that the government was given the authority to do so. By the people. [quote]Infringing on freedoms is absolutely oppression, and nothing you say will ever prove that incorrect.[/quote] You talk like you're talking about some objective concept when you're talking about your subjective opinion. Hell, the Supreme Court literally says your wrong too. [quote]Do you know what inalienable means?[/quote] Yes.
