Of course, that's what billionaires want - the little cannon fodder to protect their "rights" to take money from the commons and put our kids and grand kids in hock (see: Tax Cuts, etc.)....

No, I won't "defend to the death" your ability to say something. That is not only silly, but it is untrue. Wake up to the real world. Our latest wars have been about resources and geo-politics.

I'll change that saying to "you can think what you want, but if you say it around me don't expect me to like it".

Wow, amazing how folks live in these "talking point" worlds. You know, I'd bet Tucker would say that....that he'd defend to the death. I also bet he'd be the first to push someone out in front of him (or claim bone spurs).

Let's be real. Civility is part of the basis for a decent society.
Here are some better sayings to learn:

You're scary.

Why was the GWB Admin trying to follow what books people took out of the library?

In practice, the difference between words and actions is like the difference between the paper bills in my wallet and the digital number on my bank app screen...which, is to say, NOTHING.
And you people call US conspiracy theory nutjobs?

You seem to think that if we cannot control this natural instinct to protect ourselves and loved ones from pain, we are animals. The issue isn't as black and white. Never has, never will be. Only so many times you can be called a racial or sexual slur in your background before you react that way. If you don't, you're either a better man than I or you have your emotional brain shutoff completely Mr. Spock.
This make me laugh. I don't necessarily agree, but it was funny.

Well I don't see any other way. Humans are as emotionally controlled as anything. Not condoning what is done because of emotions, but emotions are heavy in how we react to things whether it is our normal response, bad timing with other problems or just something said one time too many.
