Asked if he has ever committed a violent act, Avila said he has not.

"But if I did, I wouldn't be honest about it," he said.

One nut-job protesting Obama and all conservatives are needlessly smeared. Keep up the good work Mikey.

Sorry, but when the douchebag protester is outside a Democrat's town hall meeting with a sign calling for the deaths of not only Obama, but of his wife and kids as well, then no, I don't think there's a chance that he's a liberal disappointed with Obama's work so far. I think he's a racist asshole piece of shit who wants the Obamas killed for the crime of being black in "his" America.

I think part of that comes from the fact that here, unlike many boards, someone with a serious agenda and no respect for the truth can't go hiding under the skirts of an agenda-friendly moderator.

Here, you HAVE to make your argument, and if you can't, if you won't - no one is gonna give you the time of day about it, even and especially if all you got to back it up with is just verbal garbage chuckin.

That said, there's times it does go into some seriously blistering verbiage, and if I have "no intent to be reasonable about this" or am "not going to be polite".... duck.

At least I have the decency to warn folk first tho, you gotta give me that one.

It probably won't get real nasty until 2012. Presidential candidates tend to bring the worst out in all of us.

I've seen reasoned debate, I've seen slimes and arguments, but I've not yet seen TRUE rancor such as what I saw elsewhere, and I've seen a sense of camraderie in that people keep their senses of humor, even if that's not what they're getting back.

I accept, like I said, I've only been here a couple of days and in a few threads. But you see, what I was accustomed to was constantly, virtually every day all the time. You guys can't match that unless you really try!

'Sides, I'm enjoying myself, let me keep my delusions as long as I can...

Wikipedia is a good starting place:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_speech_zone

Of particular interest is a picture halfway down the page. It's a sign which says: "First Amendment Area: This area has been set aside for individuals or groups exercising their constitutional first amendment rights. "

The obvious implication: the first amendment does not apply outside this zone.

Again - how in the hell is this allowed to happen? It makes my blood boil!

And this: "These [Free Speech] zones routinely succeed in keeping protesters out of presidential sight and outside the view of media covering the event. When Bush came to the Pittsburgh area on Labor Day 2002, 65-year-old retired steel worker Bill Neel was there to greet him with a sign proclaiming, 'The Bush family must surely love the poor, they made so many of us.' The local police, at the Secret Service's behest, set up a 'designated free-speech zone' on a baseball field surrounded by a chain-link fence a third of a mile from the location of Bush's speech. The police cleared the path of the motorcade of all critical signs, though folks with pro-Bush signs were permitted to line the president's path. Neel refused to go to the designated area and was arrested for disorderly conduct."

Arrested for carrying a harmless nonviolent sign. Really. And I *know* that posters here were saying, just a few years back, that folks like Neel should shut up or leave this country. And now the same folks are defending the loonies with guns.

*head spins*

ETA: Note the use of "disorderly conduct". Kind of a theme lately, huh?

Yes Sig,

I did some research....

"Sigyn (Old Norse "victorious girl-friend"[1]) is a goddess and wife of Loki in Norse mythology. Sigyn is attested in the Poetic Edda, compiled in the 13th century from earlier traditional sources, and the Prose Edda, written in the 13th century by Snorri Sturluson. In the Poetic Edda, little information is provided about Sigyn other than her role in assisting Loki during his captivity. In the Prose Edda, her role in helping her husband through his time spent in bondage is stated again, she appears in various kennings, and her status as a goddess is twice stated. Sigyn may appear on the Gosforth Cross and has been the subject of an amount of theory and cultural references."

So, are you here to help? Or just cause trouble and disharmony?
