"I am offended that the right to Free Speech as well as Freedom of Religion has been removed from anyone attending a public school."

Why aren't you offended by public schools? I am offended you apprently believe I should pay to send your kids to school.

There are natural rights described in the Declaration, and then there is the Constitution, a social compact among We the People of the United States, that is intended to secure rights to citizens. Without that distinction, one demand that the US government secure rights deprived from citizens of other nations within their borders. The distinction among citizens and non-itizens regarding enforcement of and efforts to secure those rights must exist.

[Cool Guy]

If our rights are granted to us by the constitution and not by the creator than they are not truly rights. They are merely "allowances" that our government makes for us. Fortunately, our rights are not given to us by the constitution or the government but are the natural rights of man. We give the government permission to take some of our rights in order to provide for a common defense and to provide order over chaos. The constitution does not give us rights but rather spells out what rights we allow the governemtn to "borrow".

What are the human rights provided to us by the creator? Can you list as many as you can, if not everyone. What are the rights that the government has borrowed? Common defense against what? What order do we seek? Who defines this order or is it also defined by the creator? If we talk about a creator, then what happens to people who do not believe in a creator? I am not telling you you are wrong, but want to know understand what you are talking about, before I come to a conclusion. Thanks.

thanks for the post. did you know that conservatives are not allowed to rant and rave? did you know that liberals are not allowed to feel your pain? these are laws you know.

you are supposed to work your 16 hours a day from age 18 to 65, take a couple weeks off each year to see your family and hand over two thirds of your paycheck to fund the research of those who have been blessed with feeling the pain of others?

please quit whining. you are making the rest of us mad because we now know what it means to be offended.

I'm wondering how long this HATE SPEECH is going to live here on FR.

How dare you claim the ACLU & NAMBLA are offensive. Why, there's just here to help us understand homosexuality and help us be more "tolerant" of other people's views! (/puke mode)

Mega Ditto's to everything you said.

I like your vanity post, you have a good point.

[Atticus]

This is the best original piece I've read here in a while. Nice job!

[Red Jones]

I saw on tv this morning that some wife had an affair, then she told her minister, then the minister told her husband, then the husband divorced the wife, then the wife sued the minister because she said he destroyed her marriage. The jury took $65,000 from the church to compensate the woman. It is insanity. So in the future when a similar event occurs the minister will feel pressure to shelter the husband from this knowledge in order to protect the financial situation of the church. How just is it that all of those people who donated the 65 grand to the church have it taken like that.

I'm offended you don't have a horsewhip

I'm offended you presume I do not have one. Now, if I may offend you - what side of the river are you on ?

"I'm offended you don't have a horsewhip."

I'm offended that you did not offer the use of yours....

I'm offended you didn't remind to offer it.

[Revelation 911]

Oh well, that's what whiskey's for...

methinks I hear a "pepsi syndrome" starting - DOH

[LaBradford22]

I find the notion of all of these things offensive, and the fact that I've been reminded of so many offensive things offends me deeply. The fact that so many people are offended so easily offends me. I'm offended by their offensive nature.

I'm offended you didn't remind to offer it.

Well, I'm offended that you required a reminder. I bet you forget your anniversary, too? Fess up!

Nothin' to 'fess to. I'm single.

I'm offended you didn't know that.
