Oh cool, the US assassinated a citizen without a trial or anything

Well the weird thing is, that people still post in his threads out of either disbelief (that he actually believes the things he posts) or they actually think they can convince him that he's wrong (according to their/popular opinion).

It's that famous "Hang on honey, I can't go to bed, someone is wrong on the internet".

I would totally understand, like some of the Wikileaks threads we've had, if people were actually hanging on because they feel strongly about the actual topic. But it's become (again) about Charlie.

GB gets his own thread to keep his crap in, can't Charlie get his own troll-knighting thread? It's not like everyone will ignore it...

I think that's a great idea, except that unlike Gasbandit, I doubt Charlie would cooperate, because he's stated his purpose on the site now is to rankle people and be annoying. He's not about having discussion or discourse like Gas clearly wanted; he's about being contrary and antagonistic, and getting people uppity. He doesn't care that they only turn against him and his cause, even if they were people who would've been on his side had he bothered approaching the discussion like an adult. He just wants the attention and the noise.

As Shego said, I'm surprised people post. They'd do better just to ignore him. Although I'm satisfied with the making fun of him; at least he benefits the forum in some way then.
 
Wow, you guys are beating on him worse than the last time I posted a thread complaining about Obama.

If you want to discuss the topic, discuss the topic.

If you want to discuss the person posting the topic, discuss the person posting the topic.

I choose to discuss the discussion about the person posting the topic.

/yo dawg, I put a discussion in your discussion so you could discuss while you discuss
 
Isn't a reason against gun control that the people can defend itself against the goverment? How is that something plausible but not the other?
 
Actually, Cog's being serious.
"When the government fears the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny." -Thomas Jefferson.

This site seems to have a decent amount to say on the subject, from an admittedly biased source, but the quotes are solid, as being referenced from the Founding Fathers on the subject. Some of them are contextual, others are specific as to the ownership of weapons.

I post things in an antagonistic way on purpose to get a response/make people think/"troll", bla bla bla. That doesn't mean I don't believe them.
I think it is all about the presentation. I post couple of "controversial" thread also, but it didn't get into a heated argument on my views. So maybe you are doing something differently.

If you're talking about this thread, and if I know anything about this forum, it sure seems like there are no party lines here.
No, I was referring to mainstream political reaction to this occurrence.

Also, I consider this a legitimate thread.

I mean, the dude was an absolute scumbag, 1st rate. But....this hole thing runs back into that complex argument of "police action" vs "military action". And its tricky. On the one hand the dude just looks like someone making radical speeches. On the other he looks like someone who is masterminding terrorist attacks.

I just wish it was feasible for us to capture people like this. I mean, this dude would have been worth 100 times more alive than dead. We need netguns.

We need the motherfucking Batman to swoop in and "extradite" people on our behalf.
