Plan B Forum

No argument there--I'm more than willing to embrace diversity of views; and, IMHO, the "christian" nationalists are entitled to their own views as well. But letting the government weigh in on what is acceptable is a double edged sword. I can't see why they'd take that chance, but I guess they're wag...

Not to mention that the other problem, form a religion's point of view, is that when you invite the government to interact with religion and endorse it, you run the real risk of having government dictate religious doctrine (or at least acceptable religious doctrines)--so in school prayerleads o the ...

They needed a strong military commander with the power to be able to keep the country safe from invasion regardless of what else was happening at the time. Of course they did; that's why they disbanded all but a small portion of the continental army and fought like hell against funding even a small...

I tend to agree; Brady is a jerk, always has been, and is only out for number one. He played football well and earned his money, but that doesn't make him any less of a jerk. Were his ex-wife and kids there?

I did not see the roast (and have not seen one for a long time, but there is a lot to be said for eschewing political correctness under the right circumstances. Lenny Bruce made a career of it, and some of his routines I have heard are pure genius. But the point is, the audience has to know what to ...

And, thus, the imperial presidency continued with him, much as he tried to claim he was against it. I think a lot of people would be happier with a king who could rule autocratically, and most presidents would prefer it as well, despite their protestations to the contrary.

Actually Meade, I did, and I am not certain of the particularities of that law; however, even if the author is correct that Biden could "legally" do this, I personally do not think a president should give military aid to a country that Congress has expressly said the US should not given such aid, or...

Meade--I have one I can sell you; never used. I'm selling it at a loss, but it takes up too much room. No reasonable offer refused.

It didn't have to be this way if Biden had the courage to act six months ago the situation would be a lot better now. If Biden had just dropped the Mamma May I crap and sent the weapons from the warehouses he controlled the Ukrainians would be in a lot better positioned now. My God he's Commander i...

STFU is taking the fifth. And, you are correct, it does not protect you from civil forfeiture--not much does. and you could be both beaten and then the victim of a civil forfeiture--although you could prevent yourself from being the vicitim of a civil forfeiture by always driving someone else's car....

I don't know, they sometimes get their point across, be it nonviolent civil rights protests or large scale encampments like Occupy Wall Street. Violence can achieve results, but sometimes not the results you want.

Can't argue with that; it's hard to do, but it works. I had a client apprehended at the border who was seeking asylum and told her not to say anything ujnless I or another lawyer (I was working with a group representing undocumented persons at the time) was present. This is not easy, especally as sh...

Clearing the encampments prompted some fighting back, resisting arrest; hardly surprising since the cops were treating them as rioters, so why not act as them. In schools where the administration resisted calling in the cops, like Rutgers, the encampments were eventually abandoned voluntarily. And t...

Now that I think of it, Elisha had god send bears to rip apart two youths who dared to call him old and bald.

The only violence I saw is when the police came to remove them; shooting tear gas and flash bag grenades and swinging clubs, which prompted the protestors to fight back--fireworks may also have been shot, but I did not see it. But I can hardly condmemn the protestors for fighting back when attacked,...

Well, I haven't made a study of it, but I would bet that most women have not been the victim of violence at the hands of a man anymore than they have met a bear in the wild; sure, some have, and many have heard accounts of it from others, but it is hard to make that choice without firsthand experien...

I don't know, but those maritime courts scare me; damn people putting fringe on the flag.

Me too, but I guess it has something to do with whether a woman would rather take her chances with a man or a bear in a situation where their safety was threatened. Not sure what kind of conclusions are being drawn, other than that some women see men as moire threatening than a wild animal, but I gu...

Joe--rioting? What rioting have you seen, except maybe some push back when the police or security seek to clear/arrest them? From what I have seen, the encampments and demonstrators, for want of a better word, have been fairly peaceful, are not occupying buildings, are not preventing others from att...
