That was mean, but I am admittedly laughing out loud

Shouldn't your last three words be the acronym, LOL!

BTW, what does the acronym "YOS" mean. Sorry but trying to be hip, doesn't guide my life.

A private individual is allowed to post such a sign. Now, if the fed government required you to post that sign it would be unconstitutional. You do understand the difference between a private person and the government, don't you? In fact, a local government could pass legislation restricting solicitation in their locality, the fed gov't. can't!

And here I thought I was outspoken only to find out that I'm mean. {;^)

Shaves in the dark trying to save paper

Are you trying to be Polythene Pam, Phil?

In this situation, it would be valid but you know my aversion to overuse of LOL.

Me stump and log lump. Help me! (DUH)

A private individual is allowed to post such a sign.
To me the "No call list" is such a "private" sign. Since "communications" today does fall within the realm of the feds then there should be a means in which I, as a private person, can dictate to the feds on how to control their wild, unruly beast. Get that dog chained up!

[philman_36]

Are you trying to be Polythene Pam, Phil?
Nah, but you're already The Fool on the Hill.

[Dane]

Nah, but you're already The Fool on the Hill

Huh, "The Fool on the Hill" wins out in the end at the end of that song.

BTW, are you going to answer the question of what the acronym "YOS" means.

I'm still waiting for an answer.

[Hemingway's Ghost]

This ain't gonna sit very well with a large portion of regular FR contributors.

Glad to see you finally admitting that you are not a libertarian, my boy.

But what am I, if not libertarian? Chopped liver?

YOS -- Your Opinions Suck

[CWOJackson]

Sounds like he has an opinion but isn't is consumed by it to the point of being a regular on the legalize dope threads. As for the Limbaugh threads, you must mean one of those where the pro-dope folks were trying to make Limbaugh a poster child for their cause I presume.

That tactic sure backfired. Some of the usual suspects made most flamming liberals appears reasonable and compassionate.

[CSM]

The government involvement is what I have the issue with. You could very well get caller ID and not answer calls that you don't recognize. You could have also paid for the "filtering" service that is offered by most phone companies.

Instead, your "sign" has now been funded by the fed government. You should be paying for your own service, just like you had to pay for your "no soliciters" sign.

[jmc813]

Glad to see you finally admitting that you are not a libertarian, my boy.

I am a libertarian, not a Libertarian. Big difference.

YOS -- Your Opinions Suck

Thank you tpaine for the answer.

JMO, but your comrades on your side are sliding into normal every day demo ad hominem rhteoric, IMO.

Notice, I did not say you, tpaine.

Huh, "The Fool on the Hill" wins out in the end at the end of that song.
Really? Let's look at those lyrics...
Fool On The Hill
Day after day, alone on the hill,
The man with the foolish grin is keeping perfectly still.
But nobody wants to know him,
They can see that he's just a fool.
And he never gives an answer .....
Chorus
Well on his way, his head in a cloud,
The man of a thousand voices, talking perfectly loud.
But nobody ever hears him,
Or the sound he appears to make.
And he never seems to notice .....
Chorus
And nobody seems to like him,
They can tell what he wants to do.
And he never shows his feelings,
Chorus

Only you could interpret that as the fool wins out at the end!

BTW, are you going to answer the question of what the acronym "YOS" means.
You've seen it before...Your Opinion Sucks!
There is little in your many "opinions" that I agree with.

[CWOJackson]

"But what am I, if not libertarian? Chopped liver?"

I pass...morning tp.

This ain't supposed to be a popularity contest!
Check out the Sobran link from '99 on The "General Welfare" in reply 97.

[Dane]

Huh phil, you left this line out of the lyrics, from your reply #56.

"he never listens to them, because he knows that they are the fools"

And the line you omitted is at the end of the song. Whew dude, you think that you are a demo or something, that a liberal media on FR is going to protect from your obvious omission.

[philman_36]

...but your comrades...
...normal every day demo ad hominem rhteoric...
Et tu, Dane?
So I'm a Communist?
