Freedom of speech, get a clue

“Just wade right in, lizs.”

“I might have missed someting, being a dunderhead and all, but it looked to me that the story was about a German in the States, not in Germany.”

“"using symbols of unconstitutional organizations"


This has to be in Germany.”

“Just didn't like to see mtn gal all high and mighty about her thread, when she can't even spell. Then again, maybe that's a freedom of speech.

(Y'all know it's just the editor in me, right?? And if I spell stuff like #&%!$ or screw up, I invite you to pick me to pieces)”

“'Residents there are not holding the dog accountable for what his owner taught him.'

This was in Germany, if it was here, we would kill the dog.”

“Like we would need an invitation to pick you apart.”

“Who’s high and mighty? Bored or board, sow what, you new what I mint. Spelling in English is so stupid. At least I was dead on correct on the substance of my comment.”

“I'm with mtn gal!
Poor spellers unite!”

“well you're not that priviledged either then.... while we're nit picking!”

“i don't think this happend in germany. I really don't think in Germany they'll put you to jail for reasons like that. I am kind a curious now though.

It's really not like you all think in germany.”

“It was in Berlin.
Link to orginal story”

“I once new a guy who taught his Doberman to heil for food.”

“This is just sad. I'm sure the fool thought it was a joke. You just can't joke about nazi stuff in Germany, though... For some reason, they just don't think it's funny.”

“hmm, I still think it's strange. You see all those skinheads walking around, shouting out all kinds of crap. never have seen anyone getting arested. I guess times changed, huh?

Well, actually I could start discussing the "freedom of speech" stuff right here, right now...but I'm not :D

all I say is: freedom of speech is great...to a certain extend.

Oh boy I know I spelt this "extend" totally wrong.”

“OY!”

“ouch...”

“Looks like Ashcroft's doing!”

“Grease Trucks cover up

The Grease Trucks, a staple of University life, were forced to cover up several of the items on their menus last night in order to comply with University rules following complaints of harassment and inappropriate sandwich names.

The cluster of fast-food trucks - which open at 6 p.m. and close early in the morning - have been the source of food for Rutgers students, staff and faculty alike on College Avenue.

The complaints have mainly come from members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered community at the University, who said they have experienced a different side of the trucks - one they see as being homophobic and intolerant toward sexual minorities on campus.

John Garney, assistant director of Operations at Parking and Transportation Services, said he has spoken to the trucks' owners and has gained their assurance that any offensive sandwich titles will be changed and the signs taken down.

But he didn't stop there. Garney warned the owners that if the signs weren't at least covered by 6 p.m. last night, he would issue a citation to any offending truck and shut that truck down for the evening.

At approximately that time, one of the owners - who wished to be identified only as "Sam" - was out placing duct tape over nearly half of the names on the sides of the truck.



"I don't like it. I'm going to lose a lot of business," he said. "These names are attractive to people. They're extraordinary. Besides, they don't complain about the names in [the pizza places on] Easton Ave."

He added that he would now have to replace two of the signs on one of the trucks, which may cost $1,000.

According to some in the LGBT community, the trucks use offensive terms, such as "Fat B1tch" and "Fat Dyke" as names for the grease-laden sandwiches they produce.

Although the offensive terms are now covered, Garney also said they must remain that way. If not, "University Police will shut them down until we are satisfied," he said.

The trucks, he said, "are under a contract with the University, and any changes in language on the trucks must be approved by the University."

Garney said the current signs on the trucks - which display the offensive sandwich titles - weren't approved and are therefore in breach of contract with the University.

“More political correctness run amok on today’s college campuses.”

“Such is college life. I don't mind, except when these brats come out and get so easily offended in the real world.

Maybe college life should change a bit?”

“"Fast food trucks?" We call em "Roach Coaches" down here. That must have offended university cockroaches.”

“They call 'em roach coaches 'round here too!

Oh, the humanity!!

If it's offensive, change it and drive on.

When are we gonna hear from pissed-off fat people?”

“bird2tiny=Violin???”

“Yea, bird is one of Vile's many troll names.”

“Yeah - I can see why a guy who claimed that as part of his job, he had seen aerial photography with far greater resolution than Powell presented to the UN which proved that Iraq had WMD's before the war would want to block my posts.”

“I love ya man...you're what makes TT great...I was trollin fer chrissakes...I'm SuperTROLL...peace!”

“Care to comment on that post from the past? I know it made me rethink my opposition to the war - and it appears to have been complete BS.”

“Do trucks move? yes....were there weapons on Iraqi soil at any time in the past?...5,000 dead Kurds say yes...were there weapons on Iraqi soil prior to invasion?...yes...did the US take to FRIKING long going in? hell yes, and told the world they were coming...

V...let me ask you, have you seen the photographs of the MIG fighters Iraq buried in the desert sand? (They were found only after the winds uncovered the Tail on one of them)...

because they haven't been found, doesn't mean they do not exist.

When the centrifuges were found along with documents in the gardens of former Iraqi scientists it pointed to something that a lot of people seem to have missed; an effort to hide the truth was made....hell, even a complete dumb ass would see that searching in warehouses and known Iraqi scientific labs was a waste of time...so who searched the other 90% of the sandy soil of Iraq?

I stand by the previous post, I KNOW what I saw, and that's all I personally need to know...If I could prove it now, and prove it well enough to convince YOU, I wouldn't waste our time....I'D BE ON CN FRIKIN N.”

“"Urban legend....?"”

“Somehow I knew the war was BS in August '02 when they started talkin' it up.

Some of my posts from then would make me look like I knew something that Powell didn't.”

“"The greatest trick the devil ever pulled is convincing the world he doesn't exist"”

“The same can be said for The Boogie Man, ST.”

“Bush has convinced the World he doesn't exist??????

We are doomed. Then again, I can see why the world might suspect such.”

“Waiting for what? I don't have enough information to respond. You seem convinced you were telling the truth. I'm not convinced. Nothing personal.”

“Snopes and a few other sites wanted to debunk the MIG photos but found that they were true photos...So my point?

A goodly portion of Sadaams Air Force, some THIRTY planes, disappeared from an Air Base in Al Taqqadam Iraq...buried without the Extensive Satellite Recon done prior to the war detecting it....Is it so hard to believe that we could miss the act of burying 30 Jet Aircraft, and not miss the movement and concealment of WMD's?

Hiding huge volumes of jet aircraft was possible, so why not huge stockpiles of Chemical and biological agents?

“Hecklers Disrupt Coulter's Speech At UConn
December 8, 2005
By GRACE E. MERRITT, Courant Staff Writer STORRS -- Music that seemed to come from somewhere in the raucous audience that packed the Jorgensen Center at the University of Connecticut Wednesday night brought Ann Coulter's speech to an abrupt end about 15 minutes after she started.

After waiting with her bodyguard on stage for several minutes for the music to stop while a section of the audience chanted "You suck, you suck," an irritated Coulter said she would not finish her speech. She said she would go straight to questions and answers, suggesting the disruption was the best the liberals could do to counter her.

"I love to engage in repartee with people that are a lot stupider than I am," she said. `We're having a question and answer right now with the little crybabies."

Coulter, a well-known, conservative author and commentator, fielded questions ranging from the war in Iraq and Democratic leadership to abortion with the witty, provocative responses that have made her a frequent guest on such TV talk shows as "Hannity & Colmes" and "The O'Reilly Factor."

Responding to a question about withdrawing troops in Iraq, Coulter pointed out the United States still has troops in Bosnia and said various aspects of life are improving in Iraq, with elections being held, women voting and the insurgency growing smaller.

One student asked what she would do if she had a child who came out as gay.

Coulter replied: "I'd say, `Did I ever tell you you're adopted?'"

She also aimed plenty of criticism at the Democratic Party, calling U.S. Sen. Barbara Boxer of California a great candidate for Democrats because "she is a woman and learning disabled." She also aimed barbs at Sen. Ted Kennedy of Massachusetts.

"If the Democrats want to stick to the middle of the road, why did they pick Ted Kennedy. Didn't he have some trouble sticking to the middle of the road?" she said.

In response to threats to Coulter at other appearances, security was tight with guards and campus police flanking the stage and searching every bag the crowd of 2,600 took into the Jorgensen Center for Performing Arts.

The UConn College Republicans invited Coulter, a Connecticut native, in an effort to bring a well-known, provocative speaker to get students talking and thinking about the conservative perspective.

Some students were upset that the student government spent $16,000 to bring what they consider a "hateful" speaker to campus.

To provide another viewpoint to Coulter's, the Progressive Students' Alliance had brought in Cindy Sheehan, the California woman who made headlines in August by camping out near President Bush's Texas ranch to protest her son's death in Iraq. Sheehan's speech Monday also was paid for with student government funds.

Prior to Coulter's speech, a small group of protesters shivered outside as they held up signs and handed out a Coulter bingo card in which each block on the grid had a key word such as liberal, abortion, feminists and terrorism.

Just before the event, Students Against Hate held an alternative event focusing on discrimination at UConn and intended to provide "balance" to the Coulter talk. During the talk several students from various racial groups and of various sexual orientations spoke about how harsh words have wounded them.

Hana Kim, 20, of Stamford, cried as she recalled her experience hearing two young men express shock and disapproval in a loud conversation that a friend was dating an "Asian chick."

Jerome Smith, a UConn graduate, talked about how he hid his homosexuality while at UConn, afraid his fraternity brothers and family would shun him.

"Words are sharp tools and certain people like Ann Coulter use them to hurt people," he said.

I'm sure the Vile Man approves of the 'students' behavior.

“"If the Democrats want to stick to the middle of the road, why did they pick Ted Kennedy. Didn't he have some trouble sticking to the middle of the road?" she said.

LMAO!”

“The funniest thing about Coulter getting shouted down is that Cindy "The Ditch Witch" Sheehan spoke there three days before and no one from the right showed up to shout her down.
