redneckdevil Posted October 19, 2017 Posted October 19, 2017 And all of this, this specific fight anyway, would be solved by some tapes (or other form of record) of that phone call, right? Nevermind the implications that the existence of tapes might bring up. I agree, release proof or both politicians shut up. The mother can say whatever she damn well wants to say she's lost a loved one in the military and she's an American citizen, but now it's gotten to start bringing proof and don't open ur damn mouth to the politicians with this political fighting.

redneckdevil Posted October 19, 2017 Posted October 19, 2017 (edited) It's very weird seeing the side who fought christians, Republicans and "upset parents" book burning and censorship and pushed the envelope of raunchyness and uncomfortable truths become the thing they fought against years ago. It's ass backwards now and has been for some time and still i can't believe it at times. U stare into the abyss long enough... Edited October 19, 2017 by redneckdevil

Malcador Posted October 19, 2017 Posted October 19, 2017 No the percentage affected matters as much as it is effective.

Right... because there is no history of people wanting the things they find offensive being banned altogether. Someday these poor little dears will be in positions of political power.
