My brief stint here has me thinking that some of the "tolerate others" folks only mean that if "others" are left-wing, war haters.
If you're going to truly tolerate others - better listen to both sides of the political spectrum
As for making the lounge off-limits to politics, sex, computing platform, etc - who would come if they did???

Texas isn't doin' too good protecting their borders. What ever happened to: " Tresspassers Will Be Shot On Sight" notices?

Scionic man is pure genious. I never thought of it like he put it. That was a god ending to his stories about life learned lessons. But I still hold true to the fact that he did have relatives who did no wrong and lost someone they might have loved( tookie ).

It really makes me angry when I hear the the PC correct bleeding heart liberals spew the line "Our military can't protect our border. They aren't designed for that."
STFU....
Germany...border protection with East Germany.
Korea
Vietnam
etc,
etc.
That's what our constitution says our military is to do. Protect Our Borders, not everyone elses..

Society can't take that into consideration, or nobody would be convicted - let alone put to death.
Sad all the way around. Everyone loses.

very true, for every action there is a consequence....good or bad. That's why when we make major decisions we should not only look at how they affect us, but those around us too. The choices and actions we take can result in consequences that directly spill over into the lives of those we may love.

^^^ Yes. If every man or woman thought past the 2-minutes of pleasure when they cheat on their spouses, and how much damage it WILL cause, the world would be a better place. People always think about THEMSELVES.
Every drunk that gets into a car does the same thing - not knowing if THIS will be the time he/she kills some innocent family.
Getting older gives you one thing that being young can't - that's experience and wisdom to make better choices.
The world can't live with the Tookies of the world running loose. Don't feel any sympathy for that POS or others like him.

I totally understand why people are against the death penalty, and encourage people to voice themselves. But if you really look into the evidence and FACTS about "tookie," you'll find out what a scumbag he is. I really don't like that the majority of people who support him, actually think he's some kind of "good guy." He's not. Jamie Foxx is an actor, not a lawyer, not a historian, not even a relatively educated guy. He lies about who is for a living. Actors are the worst source of information. Period.
If you're against the death penalty so be it. Just don't defend this convicted criminal and murderer. You guys all turn him into some kind of hero.
If he really were innocent, they would be bringing up reasons why he had a mistrial, or what evidence was for him. They would not bring up peace prizes, which was, in fact a political STUNT by his legal team.
And a "rehabilitated citizen" would AT LEAST apologize, which he never did. He didn't shed one ounce of remorse to any of the victims.

Whats going on through your head, yeh i believe tookie was rehabilitated but he commited the crime so he should have died for it, how much money do you make a year, Foxx is an actor which means he is a liar? please he has 2 make a living and by saying he isnt intelligent basically makes you look quite un-sophisticated. Think about it your little $40k a year to his at least 1million in a month and he hasnt gone broke in the 20 years he has been acting, thats all the smarts you need to live like you want and always have enough money to never go broke. So son here is a lesson Before you speak think about what you say. and Yes Tookie was guilty and needed to be punished for what he did but they could have granted him some leniency for his rehabilitation and the nomination for the nobel awards. But we can argue all day your wrong imright im just joking but if you want to respond PM me. CLASS DISMISSED

it is not about respecting the opposing view but acklowledging the other person's right to have it. see, i can believe that your view of the world is limited, less than enlightened, short sighted and mean spirited, but i am not saying you personally are any of those things. i can respect you (the general you, not this specific instance per se) as being okay even though you believe the way you do because i understand how you came to have those views.
it was the perceived name calling i was addressing, not the bush homering.
btw, my mental illness isn't liberalism, it's dualism and to be honest, i personally don't give a rat's a about any of this. i was just drunk posting to hear myself speak.
