I love when people evoke the Right to Free Speech to be dicks and people object. - Mel Profit Jan 16, 07:24 41
- The issue I have with this is that by your rationale the asshole should *expect* to be punched. - TWuG Jan 16, 07:36 9

        So in your world freedom is to be considerate and not offend anyone about anything? - DaneDukeNuuk Jan 16, 09:38
        
        actually your condemming attitude is more a counding of reason than anything - DaneDukeNuuk Jan 16, 09:17
    - this is a much more articulate, less glib answer. Thank you. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 16, 07:56
  - the pope says it's normal -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Jan 16, 07:37
- so all forms of discussion have unltimately no purpose and are fruitless? -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Jan 16, 07:27 28

    - all forms besides fist fighting then? -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Jan 16, 07:28 26

        i had that the last time i don't understand why you think principles are always about you - DaneDukeNuuk Jan 16, 08:19
      - you did notice the portion of Mel's post where he said the puncher woudl be arrested, right? -- nm - Reagen Jan 16, 07:30 17
        
        That's not what "does stuff" means, amoxy! -- nm - con_carne Jan 16, 07:34
        
        yes and thats seems to be the only consequense he think there is - DaneDukeNuuk Jan 16, 07:32 15
        
        You are a walking Fallacy of the Excluded Middle. -- nm - Reagen Jan 16, 07:37 14
        
        perhaps you just need to try and put in an efford - DaneDukeNuuk Jan 16, 07:39 13
        
        Let me spell it out for you then - presenting one example of a consequence does not exclude the existence of other consequences. - Reagen Jan 16, 07:44 12
        
        and stop putting words in my mouth please: - DaneDukeNuuk Jan 16, 07:54 2
        
        Have you met humans? - Reagen Jan 16, 07:57 1
        
        i had an interesting talk with a sri lankan catholic yesterday about his visit to sri lanka - DaneDukeNuuk Jan 16, 08:04
        
        i am not surgesting that try and keep up - DaneDukeNuuk Jan 16, 07:49 8
        
        We have explicitly said that violence is not the only consequence. *you* try to keep up. - Reagen Jan 16, 07:53 7
        
        so in your world askin is agreeing? - DaneDukeNuuk Jan 16, 07:55 6
        
        I have zero notion of what this sentence is supposed to mean. Can you rephrase? -- nm - Reagen Jan 16, 07:58 3
        
        i made a question i did not make a conclution - DaneDukeNuuk Jan 16, 08:02 2
        
        again, I am entirely baffled as to your meaning. - Reagen Jan 16, 08:05 1
        
        then why do not ask for clarifications BEFORE you draw your conclutions i ask? -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Jan 16, 08:06
        
        Girls! You're *both* pretty -- nm - zork Jan 16, 07:55 1
