The Most Racist Article I've Seen

[Tyr-Ziu Saxnot]

Yup, the freedom to speak but not the privilege​ to be heard.

Being heard is a "privilege" ? Who knew?
I mean unless one is speaking to oneself in a secluded setting with no others around to hear the being heard part is just reality. I have no problem with anybody reading my words here just ignoring them. I mean, didnt you generously advise me to do the same when being spoken to in an uncivil manner by others here? If not you , then several others did.
The Freedom of Speech is the Constitionally insured Right that we have . It is also a great privilege. The right to be heard by those willing to listen has to be part of that or else people could be mandated to speak as freely as they like but only do so secluded in a room all by themselves. So the being heard part is protected but certainly not mandated by the Constitution for it must be a voluntary act by those choosing to listen.
Of course here it would be properly termed freedom to post within the set rules.--Tyr

Yes, kind of how I've granted you the privilege of me "hearing" about every other word in your post.

That surely is an amazing ability that you have there. Being able to "read" every other word!
Did you take correspondence courses in that or what?
I hope that I'm not getting too personal with that question. Just let me know if so.
I'll ask more often.-Tyr

It is. I am most excellent.

[Tyr-Ziu Saxnot]

No doubt. Wasn't that a PeeWee Herman line too?
I seem to recall a poster from another forum using it a lot and attributing it to Pee Wee Herman.
You arent a big fan of the guy are you?-

Wasn't that Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure?

Was the sequel to that the most un excellent sequel in movie history or what?

It was all crap. I just remember it because Bill and Ted were from my home of San Dimas and went to San Dimas High which is right down the street from me and where my stepdaughter went to school.

It seems you are very familiar with his work. You have that advantage on me.

Be excellent to each other. Words to live by right?

If you could read a bit better you'd see where I explained about even knowing of that line. But apparently your amazing word skipping ability causes you grave reading comprehension problems!
O' well, one must strive to overlook the weaknesses of others.
A principle that I'm not very good at however! Yet I shall endeavor to persevere. --Tyr

My comprehension is just fine, I'm thinking of cutting your privilege back to 1 out of 3 or just the first sentence. I understood your implication that you are intimately aware of Pee Wee's antics and I hope that you can manage to stay out of his line of fire.

Pandering politicians creating laws to "protect" those they see as weak and discriminated against is nothing new.
...

What is new is taking crimes already on the books, and making them "more serious" just because they involve two different races. Well, it would seem that as long as one of those races is white, anyway. Hence the equating of hate crime and racism.

[Abbey Marie]

All this sniping back and forth is tiresome. Can't you all find things to debate besides each others flaws?

I'd hate to start regularly moving formerly good threads to the Cage.

Fine with me as you reading abilities couldnt even match that.
You were the one using his one liners not me genius.
Accusing othes to hide a secret is an old ruse perhaps you should find another.-

Accusing othes to hide a secret...

You might want to keep Pee Wee Herman in your pocket then.
