I'm sorry too. I just care so deeply about freedom, it's literally like being stabbed in the heart to hear someone say they don't care about them, or the constition is obsolete. But you're right, everyone has their opinion. I just believe so strongly in the Constitution, because we've been rapidly losing our rights since the alleged "war on terror." However, I really don't try to argue or fight with anyone; I think I just come off the wrong way to a lot of people here. Of course, I can be an asshole too inadvertently. But I don't think you're stupid by any means, you just see things differently than I do.
STP - you attack Obama too much. He is just a puppet. You should be going after the system which pulls his strings and those of every other president. You are pretty much right, but I think you tend to feed into all the polarization when you attack Obama. Certain people are conditioned to respond to that a certain way, and usually it just makes people go on the defense and they stop listening to what you say.
Rich People: Shop the dollar general and the price right. Still don't eat as healthy as I would with that kind of money. Have stocks. SNDY be making me money, see my older threads ;p
I gave you positive rep for this. Thanks for the fun debate tonight. I like it when people do not always agree with me. You are young. Do not give yourself a heart attack over the issues. Stick to your passion for what is right and learn to argue in a way you can be heard. Peace
If someone supports Obama, I'm not gonna win them over anyway. Plus, people blamed Bush for the Patriot Act, isn't it a double standard not to blame Obama for renstating it, or signing the other Unconstitutional Laws? It's like I said, knocking on Bush is np at all, "Stomp Bush up! Mush! Fuck Bush!" -Eminem- But as soon as you mention our first black president everyone gets pissed!
Thank you brother! I gave you a positive rep aswell! I was glad to converse, and not argue for once! But yes, it was a good debate. I was thinking about it too, and I know why you feel that way about hippies. Some were really self righteous, and would yell at soldiers coming home from the war; calling them "Baby killers" and what-have-you...
Obama is merely continuing the path set by Bush and the previous presidents. And trust plenty of people are upset. However most people never even heard of the NDAA to they have no idea it was signed into law, plus it was written by a democrat AND a republican. There are no political parties they're all just one in the same.
I totally agree! I'm not a republican either, by any means. I hated Bush too lol. They are just puppets of elite special interest banksters..
American politics are a farce. That's why I give you shit about your Obama gripes. I just can't take politics seriously enough to get as worked up as you. Which is sad because the government is making choices that effect our lives. Politicians, however, are just carrying out someone else's plan. That's why I can't bring myself to be angry at the president's crimes. It goes a lot deeper than the president. You're not wrong in your passion, but I do think a lot of it is misdirected.
Well that's fair and understandable. I don't just blame obama though. Our government is basically a business. I'm not too worried about it though, cause history tells us a government cannot keep control without the consent of the governed, and they're rapidly losing our consent.
Actually I like to quote this for emphasis as well. Just to make sure STP is not ridiculed for the essence in the content of most of his posts but because the way he brings it and where (for example not in every thread). Hope this thread is not totally fucked although people saw it coming since page 2...
rich people are just people. the ones who make the news are often ass holes. but that's what corporate media gives us to distract us from what the power structure, and our own priorities together that motivates it, are doing to us. it has less to do with what anyone has or doesn't have, then with the corporate mechanism which blindly concentrates wealth, with utter and absolute disregard for all else.
I thought you might say something like that ...:smilielol5: http://www.hipforums.com/newforums/showpost.php?p=7550052 http://www.hipforums.com/modules/Blogs/showarticle.php?threadid=466102&page=4
Have you read the bill? That's what it says!!! If you protest around secret service or the white house, you are guilty of a FELONY for "distrupting government activity" I can give a fuck less what that kid said! He read the title of the bill and assumed he knew EVERYTHING! Read the bill! It infringes on our free speech!! It even makes it a felony to protest around Presidental Candidates!!!
