Angle-plex 0 Report post Posted February 2, 2004 I have come to realize that the No Holds Barred forum is a place that lacks intelligent conversation. It is a troll playground that glorifies stupidity. We need to change that or this forum should just be deleted. The topic: Restrictions on civil liberties are justified in view of the threat of terrorism. Do you agree? Disagree? Why? Feel free to give your thoughts and views on this subject, and remember....intelligent conversation only! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted February 2, 2004 Disagree. Considering that personal freedoms and islamic fundamentalist terrorism are mutually exclusive philosophies, it would be beneficial to keep the former in good condition. Were the govt. to do something drastic and silly such as reduce them for the sake of a security blanket, we'd end up with middle eastern philosophies coming out of a different book.

How would you respond to someone who says that a person's safety is more important than their freedom? I'd tell them to kiss my ass and let them know that my safety is my business. It's like that ridiculous seatbelt law. Oh, so I have to wear my seatbelt? Sorry, not going to, it makes me uncomfortable.

RavishingRickRudo 0 Report post Posted February 2, 2004 Why do you feel that way? If I have to wear an identity card, have my moves monitored where ever I go, essentially give up my rights to privacy, and can get arrested without cause or explanation and thrown in jail without any rights to a lawyer - that's terrorism. That's using force, either physical or psychological, to obtain control over another. It's using fear to promote the governments own objectives; no matter how righteous they "appear" to be. How would you respond to someone who says that a person's safety is more important than their freedom? I'd say at what price and at what point does freedom die? RRR: Doesn't like feeling like a pawn.

Perfxion 0 Report post Posted February 3, 2004 The point of terrorism is the change another person's or country's lifestyle so they can feel safe. IE: KKK making black males hide at night so if the KKK comes storming in, blacks do not have to worry about being killed. Personal freedom is what makes this world worth living. I am not going to give up my rights so The Man can "protect" me, while I can simply die hitting my head on the bathtub after slipping on the soap. Shit can happen, why be scared of what can happen.

Guest JacK Report post Posted February 7, 2004 Uhh, what's a civil liberty? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hoff 0 Report post Posted February 7, 2004 A liberty which states its case quietly and respectfully. *rimshot* Affirmative action: Nay, in base theory. Jobs ought go to the most qualified, end of story. The only confusion comes in when that doesn't happen for whatever reason. However, affirmative action by and large probably isn't the best solution. Furthermore, ignorant fuckwads do have the right to be ignorant fuckwads. If you want to be racist, or sexist, your prerogative, but be ready to deal with the consequences, be they protests, boycotts, lawsuits, or getting your ass beat at 3 AM in a dark alley.
