"Begging to be bombed" sounds like hate speech to me.

Nah. I think he's just a partisan derp. He wants to bomb Iran because it's the party line.

In a couple of years it could be Mexican narco terrorists (prediction: stayed tuned for that one of the GOP civil war goes off the meds).

"your right to free speech ends at the tip of my nose"

Though some like Chris Hitchens have argued that there shouldn't be any boundaries at all.
 
Absolutely fundamental to allowing free speech is that for those who don't want to hear it, can walk away. In a forum like this it's like being locked in a room with the blow-hards - the best we can do is at least relegate it to a separate thread.

Not true.
This forum has an Ignore feature, so there's no reason you MUST read anything.

Then perhaps it's time to stay away from public Internet forums until your skin thickens. I mean, really. You shouldn't need that level of coddling.

Oh I'm fine and don't have any one on this forum on ignore (not even teeds and leaf of gay), I'm just pointing out that using a feature that doesn't work properly is a stupid suggestion. So stop ****ing suggesting it.

Oh please....
I mentioned the ignore feature to someone who said that being here is like being locked in a room with the offensive posts.
Pah-leeeze...
Nobody's forcing you to be here, and nobody's forcing you to read every post. Give me a break...

CAIRO, Egypt — Riot police backed by armoured vehicles, bulldozers and helicopters Wednesday swept away two encampments of supporters of ousted President Mohammed Morsi, sparking running street battles elsewhere in Cairo and other Egyptian cities. At least 149 people were killed nationwide, many of them in the crackdown on the protest sites. Vice-President Mohamed ElBaradei, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate and pro-reform leader in the interim government, resigned in protest over the crackdown as the military-backed leadership imposed a monthlong state of emergency and nighttime curfew.

149 dead so far, in one day.
Ugly and getting uglier by the hour...

In a somewhat spooky turn of events, a Co-Op taxi cab with the identification number 666 was allegedly stolen early Wednesday morning from outside an apartment block in the city’s west end.

The cab was parked on Mabelle Avenue, near the intersection of Bloor Street and Islington Avenue in Etobicoke, when it disappeared between approximately one and four in the morning.

but will he blame Obama for not being on control of foreign events?

or will he blame Obama for not having the balls to carry out a jihad against egyption muslims like their army is doing?

What difference will it make? Either way, it's still Obama's fault!
