36. ok..I'm back...

I made good time today.

I don't know about the sockpuppeting--every now and again I know when someone is using another name. Or when someone has been banned and has come back. That's from being on MIRT.

I don't look for malicious intent with people that disagree with me.

For instance. I agree that the NSA/spying is an over reach. I disagree that Snowden is a hero.

Snowden stole something. That's a crime, doesn't matter the reason.

The same way as a father that beats the shit out of his daughter's rapist. It's crime. We may cheer the father, we may think he was justified, but it was wrong.

There's an old saying, the road to hell was paved with good intentions.

I think many people are calling people that don't agree with what Snowden did enemies. I am not an enemy. I disagree with the policy. I don't have to agree with what Snowden did. If that makes me an enemy, than I'm not the one with the problem.

This is just one example. ^^

You're seeing only what you want to see. There is plenty of viciousness aimed at people that don't toe the line that you've laid out. Anyone that strays any difference of opinion and the list of names comes out. And swarms, it works both ways.


One more thing, I don't remember people losing their shit like this when some of the very same people running around screaming about the 4th amendment were perfectly fine (some suggesting) when some suggested abolishing the 2nd amendment, saying it wasn't necessary.

Do we cherry pick our rights? That part isn't directed at you. Just a general question.

I noticed that right away. Anyone that defended the guns or the 2nd amendment was a freeper or gun humper. I don't understand this hypocrisy, you're either for the constitution and rights or your not.
