Busybody defends himself from my allegation that he is...

[Peregrinator]

...so far right that he makes Pat Robertson look like a communist.

This should be fun. He said to ask a specific question, so let's all post "yardstick" questions for him, to help him see if he's right or left politically.

BB, do you think there should be a law against discriminating on the basis of sexual orientation?

 

[busybody..]

NO!

I think all should be equal, once you seperate SOME, its a never ending process where SOMEONE is always pissed!

 

[busybody..]

Next!

 

[bisexplicit]

Should people who don't agree with the governments way of thinking either shut up or leave America?

 

[Sean]

Should the state be allowed to override the rights of the citizen whenever they see fit to do so?

 

[busybody..]

No*

Why should they? Unless they want to, its a free country!

As I recall prior to the last election, it was the BLUE voters that wanted to leave for canada,

But now that Canada is Conservative, where will they go

(there is plenty of room in our cemetaries to bury em after we kill em) (thats a JOKE)

 

[Blindinthedark]

Is the state responsible for social programs that help the impoverished?

 

[fingermagic]

Should George Bush be allowed to listen to all phone sex conversations?

 

[busybody..]

Should the state be allowed to override the rights of the citizen whenever they see fit to do so?

explain.

what rights does a citizen have that the state can take away?

is it a state law that takes away the right, then what is the citizens right?

explain better

 

[busybody..]

Is the state responsible for social programs that help the impoverished?

Yes

if the Feds MANDATE certain programs above and beyond, they outa send funding for it!

 

[Peregrinator]

Unions. Positive or negative, generally?

 

[busybody..]

Should George Bush be allowed to listen to all phone sex conversations?

Bush no.

Me? Only if there are pics of cute women!

 

[busybody..]

Unions. Positive or negative, generally?

Depends from what side you ask


The auto workers were obvioulsy a huge positive for their members and society until greed killed the union and the industry


My view is that unions tend to foster slow and unproductive work and slow down imagination and progress

They MAY have been a positive

They MAY be a net negative now!

 

[Cap’n AMatrixca]

No*

Why should they? Unless they want to, its a free country!

That's the truffle this blind pig was looking for. You saved yourself from iggy for another 24 hours.

 

[Blindinthedark]

Does the state have the right to forcibly detain its citizens and citizens from other countries without due process or release date?

 

[busybody..]

Im so happy I could SHIT!

Which part?

 

[Sean]

explain.

what rights does a citizen have that the state can take away?

is it a state law that takes away the right, then what is the citizens right?

explain better

The suspension of Habeus Corpus, the right to trial by a jury of your peers, the right to free speech, the right to protest peacefully.
Those will do for a start.

 

[busybody..]

Does the state have the right to forcibly detain its citizens and citizens from other countries without due process or release date?

explain

The Police in the state have a right to arrest citizens of other countries if they committed a crime or there is a reasonable belief a crime was committed or going to be committed

Did I missunderstand your question?

 

[busybody..]

The suspension of Habeus Corpus, the right to trial by a jury of your peers, the right to free speech, the right to protest peacefully.
Those will do for a start.

Im not a lawyer. In some cases I would guess YES

But generally I would say NO

As you know, free speech doesnt give you the right to threaten, destroy incite riots etc

 

[busybody..]

Does the state have the right to forcibly detain its citizens and citizens from other countries without due process or release date?

I suspect you really mean something else

DONT YOU

 

[Peregrinator]

Should there be laws governing the ownership of guns?

 

[busybody..]

The suspension of Habeus Corpus, the right to trial by a jury of your peers, the right to free speech, the right to protest peacefully.
Those will do for a start.

I am UNAWARE of ANY state that has taken any of the rights you mentioned away from US citizens


Show me!

 

[Blindinthedark]

explain

The Police in the state have a right to arrest citizens of other countries if they committed a crime or there is a reasonable belief a crime was committed or going to be committed

Did I missunderstand your question?

What I'm asking is, does the state have tie right to detain people for indifinite periods of time without a court process and without evidence?

 

[Peregrinator]

I am UNAWARE of ANY state that has taken any of the rights you mentioned away from US citizens


Show me!

He doesn't have to. Answer the question.

 

[busybody..]

Should there be laws governing the ownership of guns?

I think so

I have always believed that when it says

Militia and Guns

That should NOT be taken as carte blanche letting everyone own a gun

One needs to have a license to drive and if you are a lunatic, I assume you cant get a license,

why not standards for guns?
