    And to think bibi actually ran out of bombs and missles in about 4 weeks. That's fucken scary. To think someone can actually run out of bombs and missiles and ask for a re-up frightens me. Especially knowing he was ordering these bombs and missle dropped in GAZA only. Anyone know how "small" gaza is? Here's a hint, small as shit.

    Edit-but that's for an entirely diff thread.

    No dude. It was right to be posted here. Since I now have come to see it as free speech as is the thread subtopic I believe.

    So are you now saying you wont stand for free speech?

    I know we are theoretically supposed to stay on topic but when these threads take interesting twists and turns I'd hate to see them prematurely terminated. Possibly just leave it up to the thread's OP to decide if they want to bring it back to the original topic or not.

    So are you now saying you wont stand for free speech?

    I believe in free speach for everyone in fact it's one of the great things I love about America...well free speach as much we have anyway some places in the world are very restricted in that area but I just didn't want to keep rocking the boat or train as it were, free speach is limited on the train as well with the MODS rules of engaugement and the sencetivity of some members on different topics I feel that in some cases we are bound to censorship under the disguise of politeness, we all enjoy the opertunity to share our opinions here on the train and get feed back from one another but posting our real deep down feelings on different topics is a no no if they offend others, there are some topics that offend me but the right of free speach and the right to believe as one will is also important to me.
    and by the way thank you for your post.

    free speech is not limited on the train. disrespectful speech is.

    you can state your opinion on any matter as long as it is done in a respectful way. you don't always do that, with your "let's wipe them all out" comments regarding Muslims. being offended by stuff like that is not being defensive. saying stuff like that is being outright bigoted.

    another example: there is no issue with saying homosexuality is against your personal beliefs. saying "what they do makes me want to vomit", as you have also done, is not in keeping with respectful debate.

    and on the flip side, someone saying "I don't believe in god" is respectful. saying "anyone who believes in god is a fucktard" is not.

    Sometimes certain points become disrespectful from the actual point so feel being disrespectful is needed. Personal attacks on individuals is not.

    GodFather: Great post above and appreciate your ability to roll with the punches maintaining your cool against a tidal wave of opposition. You are The Godfather.

    Just to be clear Gf, I was more referring to the content of that link. As for what you post personally , I likely disagree with much of it and will seek to change your perspective where I can but would prefer you not feel it must be hidden.

    Speaking of freedom of speech, I was ripped a new asshole by the mods for jokingly saying "fuck the dead" in the dead thread. Someone reported my "joke" and I got ripped for it. So I wonder if these same people who are always shouting free speech or #iamcharlie are also ratting people out for speaking their minds. And gf I know it was NOT you.

    But if his opinion actually is 'wipe them all out'... exactly how does he make it respectfully?
