Keep in mind these are the same "underrepresented" and "oppressed" minorities who have no problem taking thousands of dollars of federal aid and subsidized loans to attend a public UC school

I have decided to stay out of this discussion as it can only lead to emotional, unreasoned, and unproductive comments that may undo relationships in our online community. Please proceed if you feel it it is necessary. But I must postulate that no one here has enough information to make an informed comment. Including me. No insult intended.

Going back to listening to some music and enjoying my weekend. Good wishes to you all.

 :-Z You didn't decide to stay out of anything by posting something like that. If you have something to say, fucking say it rather than post hypocritical responses like, "I'm not going to say anything, but let me say none of you know anything. Peace out." What?? Really your post smacks more of trying to save face without knowing wtf to say by saying something as minimal as possible.

If someone isn't big enough to take critique or debate, they are neither pirate nor American and should renounce their citizenship so they can live somewhere that tells them what to do and think. I like to think the friends I make and have in real life can handle the heat otherwise they aren't really friends. Maybe acquaintances...

So by all means if you have something constructive to contribute, do it! Don't go run and hide to the circle jerk comment boards of Huff Post or Salon.com. If you don't want to participate, for whatever reason, then don't. No harm, no foul. But a hit and run using Jedi mind tricks doesn't go over here whether its politics, sports, cars, or audio measurements. We are not the droids you are looking for. Head-fi is the place for that.

Bear in mind if I didn't like you Ron, I'd just ignore your comment and let it stand dismissively.

These pictures demonstrate that humanity can destroy itself through war, violence, repression and intolerance.

What is the American connection here?

Do you think there may be an acoustic leak from the jack hole? ~Tyll Hertsens

Not sure if I like stuffing one hole or both holes. Tending toward one hole since both holes seems kinda ghey ~Purrin

It's a response to the satirical liberal 'America is Bad and the root of evil' picture I quoted. Is it not obvious? Those are all groups that didn't like the American flag and the values it represents either. It's good that some of the youth of America can find commonality with various historical international movements like those rather then their own country.  facepalm

Where do you think using intolerance for the sake of being 'tolerant' gets you? Look at the pictures.


Some people in this country (and probably the rest of the world too) need to reexamine what 'Freedom' means. It doesn't mean 'restriction' it means 'allowance'.

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/freedom

Definition of FREEDOM

1

:  the quality or state of being free: as 

a :  the absence of necessity, coercion, or constraint in choice or action 

b :  liberation from slavery or restraint or from the power of another :  independence 

c :  the quality or state of being exempt or released usually from something onerous <freedom from care> 

d :  ease, facility <spoke the language with freedom> 

e :  the quality of being frank, open, or outspoken <answered with freedom> 

f :  improper familiarity 

g :  boldness of conception or execution 

h :  unrestricted use <gave him the freedom of their home>

2

a :  a political right 

b :  franchise, privilege

The funny part is - I knew that it was a left satire of "America Uber Alles"-style militarized nationalism, but I was still really rooting for Teddy Roosevelt. Also, I need to find me a radiation symbol belt buckle.
