Ahhhh, ok, I thought you were messing with me. After thinking about that you are correct and I am wrong. My failed logic was based on racist of a group of people, but that group must be the same race. Whereas with religion you can have different races believing in the same religion and thus it is prejudice.

It is good to be corrected and I thank you…

 

Gravity!

What a truly wonderful thing at times.

 

Ok, this may surprise a lot of you who know me and my background. Conservative republican who strongly believes in the first amendment, second amendment etc.

However, I have always questioned the latitude of the first amendment as far as what exactly is “freedom of speech” Here is the first amendment:

”Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

I believe the sticking point is “religion”. Is the KKK a religious group? I guess they could be because you could just about call anything you want a religion, right? Or is the sticking point “or abridging the freedom of speech”. With abridge basically meaning to “edit”.

Where I am going is I would believe, could be very wrong, but would believe if the founding fathers thought it fine to have groups of morons who practice hate and discontent, such as the morons who belong in groups like the KKK, then why did they not go ahead and make the first amendment a bit more clear. Perhaps they, the founding fathers, could have inserted a line like ”the right of the people to forum groups who wish for the extinction of other groups”

Now, here is something to think about. Why is it illegal to yell “FIRE” in a movie theater? Why is it illegal to be a speaker in front of a bunch of people yelling to them to go kill someone, and when they do kill someone the speaker goes to jail? If the speaker who yelled and preached to go kill someone did not actually do it, then why do they go to jail? They are not responsible for another’s actions, are they?

Both those are examples of “speech” so if one’s speech can not be ”abridged” then is it not unconstitutional to prosecute the above individuals?

I am just not sure where this should go and it is open for debate, but I just don’t understand how some groups whose only purpose is to hate another based on skin color and/or religion can be constitutional protected for their actions…

 

It'd sure get my vote...

 

From that article you can deduce one of two things. Either KKK members are real tought hombres or there are no vital organs between their ears. What idiots

 

Inbreeders....

 

Yeah, I like it over my mashed potatos, or over my roast beef.

 

serotta, you have fallen into what I would call the Dan Quale Spud Trap.
While it is true that 'potato' is spelled without an 'e', when used in its plural form the correct spelling is 'potatoes'.

This one word cost a Great American his chance to serve as our President.

Anyway, I like to use a biscuit or whatever bread is available to soak up any gravity that is on my plate because I don't want to waste it. My wife says this is bad manners and gets very upset when I do it in a restaurant. I do it anyway by use of masterful misdirection.

"Isn't that Shirley your friend that just came in?"
"No? Well I a saw a friend of yours in here, surely. Look around."

 

WAKE UP SMART PEOPLE!

i have a question.

you shoot a bullet straight up.

theres going to be a point where gravity will overpower the force that was exerted by the gunpowder.

for that mili-fraction of a second, the bullet stops.

it now goes back down, with nothing but gravity as its method of acceleration.


its mass & gravity should equal out to a plateau in speed somewhere on the way down. much like a skydiver (dont they max out roughly at 120 m.p.h. or so in free fall). it will not continously excellerate until its stopped by something.

since the bullet didnt impact anything, i would think it still has a conical shapped nose. if it landed nose first at the top of the persons skull, how did it have enough velocity to come out the lower jaw?

wonder if these folks are signing up any body else soon, would like to experiment with different sized and shaped slugs to see if the results would be different. i would think all their heads are equally dense.

 

Not enough bullets came down.

LMAO, Raoul, I stand corrected. But I'm confused over the proper use of the Quale Spud Trap. I always thought is was a way Danny boy tried to catch a 5'7" basketball player named Webb? He was definitely not small potatoes, or tomatoes, but could dunk the ball when jumping from his toes... well, who noes.
Have a great gravy sopping Thanksgiving...
