Do you really expect to place the entire nation at the mercy of any who would harm them to garner you respect? Come on!

Helplessness is not a security measure.

Well put, sir!

“I knew there would be passion, sometimes anger, but I thought these emotions would remain focused on the issues, not the people.”-Robyn

When the people being responded to refuse to talk about the issue in factual terms, but insist on using false and/or invented data, emotional appeals that do not reflect reality, and logical disconnects from anything recognizable as intelligent thought, and when all those are addressed and debunked, but never get an honest look by those being responded to, the only option is to address the deficiencies of those people. Sorry lady, but that is all you left. The fault lies with you.

Those people who wished you harmed or dead are almost sure to be agents/provocateurs for your side. Our side has much more respect for life than does yours. That is why we believe in protecting it. Even yours.

You do not so believe and I am not persuaded that helplessness in the face of crime or terror or tyranny is a security measure. That you do is evidence of a serious mental or moral problem. Do you really expect to place the entire nation at the mercy of any who would harm them to garner you respect? Come on!

Helplessness is not a security measure.

“You expect to advocate stealing people’s freedom from them, and NOT have them call you names while you’re doing it? You should see a psychiatrist about why your ability to anticipate the consequences of your actions is no better than that of a child.”
