See 483.

Yep. I know one thread I was on had all kinds of deleted posts. I'm sure they can't catch them all. I know they do their best. FR has posting rules.

[Bikers4Bush]

Hahahahahaha!

[concerned about politics]

I wonder if concerned about politics will respond to my last post. I've got more in the aresnal of logic, but concerned about politics seems unwilling to understand.

Which one? This is a quick moving thread. I have a 56K dial up.

What is so wrong about activism?

[Eagle Eye]

Thank you! That's actionable. But I'm not the litigious sort.

That thread was posted a year and a half ago. When the FRN was forming, OPH offered pro bono legal advice which we appreciated. The Network's Attorney of Record for over a year has been Cleta Mitchell of the DC Law Firm Foley and Lardner.

Making a false statment about another person is wrong. However, assessing a person's actions in light of absolute moral principles is absolutely essential for a Christian, and I will do this till the day I die. If someone commits an evil act, I will scream it from the rooftops. However, I have every right to state that an act is a crime even if that person has not been charged with a crime, if absolute moral principles so dictate.

Let me ask you a question: The Nazi doctors in WW II said that "they were just following orders" when they put to death all of the disabled, mentally ill and retarded and homosexuals, etc. etc. The doctor who surgically removed the feeding tube - is he also just following orders? What is the moral difference between the Nazi doctors and the doctor who removed the feeding tube? If there is a difference, what is it? This is a moral question as is the attempted starvation/dehydration death of Terri Shiavo.

I am not a lawyer, but I know that public domain is applicable to copyright law.

Please refer your "gleeful accusers" to #625. There's never enough time to suffer the obtuse individually. :)

I didn't post on those threads and had no idea who was on which side! I followed your link and read some of the legal paperwork that has been filed. Until this, I paid little attention except for the fact they blamed Jeb for a lot of things he had no control over.

Seems some folks on here only want the Rule of Law to pertain to the DemocRATs -- they don't want it if it affects what they want done.

That I have gotten from these comments!

[IncPen]

This is a fair question:

Please look at post #521 on this thread, and post #613, and answer the question.

Are you - or were you - known on FR as one_particular_harbour?

[Grando Calrissian]

Alcohol. The cause of, and solution to all life's problems.

[habs4ever]

Well done, and quite right of you to bring a voice of sanity to these absurd threads.Maybe even some Freepers will learn to shut their stupid mouths when they suggest some people should be killed.

That's you, Laz, you damned fool.Once a punk, always a punk.

[concerned about politics]

I'm not sure how you can argue with a straight face that FR posters are incapable of making assertinos of fact in their postings.

Everyone is posting their thoughts. That's what the disclamer says.

I'm not advocating slash and burning other thoughts. Heck, you'd probably get banned, but thoughts are the opinions of the posters. This is a member conversation. If you wish to join in, it's your option. If you don't like the thoughts and opinions posted, don't read them. You come here volentarily. It's private - for members only.

[wimpycat]

Are you - or were you - known on FR as one_particular_harbour?

What, are you taking a poll of some sort?

[exmarine]

Ignorance of the law is no excuse.

That's a good justification for persecution, as if tyrants need one.

[Poohbah]

You call that gross negligence, to leave one's computer on, when other people are present in the residence? I'd guess that millions of people do it every day.

If others have access to something that can commit me to spending money or cause me legal trouble, I keep it secured unless I'm using it.

Excellent post.
