Exactly. Since Kurds and other sandniggers don't deserve any liberty. In fact, the Turks ought to get going on finishing off the genocide.

a friend of mine didn't understand the slurs used for arabas and thus mixed them up.

instead of towel and sand + head and jockeys, he ended up saying "towel jockeys". not as an insult, because we were sitting at the dining table trading racist jokes with each other. the iranian came back with the retort that all white people think that you're either white or wrong.

I might not be so offended by the Patriot Act if I could have some assurance that it would not be abused. Unfortunately, evidence of its abuse has already surfaced. The unfortunate fact is that there are far too many in our government who are willing to ignore the intent of the law and use it to their own ends. For that reason, and many others, we cannot allow laws that have so great a potential to infringe upon our constitutional rights.

I hadn't heard about the drug dealers, but I have heard about it being used to prosecute domestic money laundering that is not related to terrorism.

1. Hussein didn't control the Kurdish region at the time of invasion as it'd been autonomous since the end of the first Gulf War.
2. I opposed the invasion only because Shrub didn't let the public in on post-war invasion plans, and there was no public debate on them. I supported the invasion in principle; I opposed it because the person who led the invasion is evil and inept.
3. You talk out of your ass.

You miss the point. The protections that the Patriot Act bypasses are there for a reason. They ensure due process and the privacy of American citizens. The Patriot Act was passed in a rash rush to "secure" the United States, and these issues were not properly considered.

No, this is a different case Dino. That had to do with the 1996 Antiterror Act, this with the Patriot Act.

The byproduct of the Patriot Act was primarily the detention of hundreds immigrants for many months, not even in the end charging a single one of them with anything resembling terrorist acts. Of course, they're also only sandniggers too, right?

Strange. I guess I got confused because they had such similar facts.

Anyway I do have a question that was never answered in the other thread, "Are there no groups providing aid to the Kurds that aren't terrorist?" Those type of groups would seem to be more deserving of the time and effort of these people than terrorist groups like the PKK.

I don't miss the point at all. I think we place too much emphasis on protecting privacy and due process when it comes to drug dealers and money launderers. Evidence gathered in violation of due process or privacy rights that contributes to drug charges ought to be exempt.

Thats my postition but then I hate drugs.

I would gladly give full access to my personal property and communications if it would lead to drug convictions. Today. Tommorrow. The rest of my life.

Fine. Then let's just go install cameras in everyone's house and on every street corner. In addition, a chip will be implanted in your body which will inform the government of your whereabouts at all times, and will detect any drugs or alcohol in your system, automatically signaling the police when you're past your limit. Of course, we'll need a massive security apparatus to do all of the monitoring, any member of which will be allowed to enter and search your property at any time.

This is the sort of thing your attitude opens the door for. And if you think it will stop at drug convictions, you are nuts.

No, you well demonstrated your racism through your comment regarding how much you care about Kurds. I reasoned that your apathy towards these people may have a similar cause.

How do you know which groups the lawyers advised? I didn't notice anything about the PKK in this article.

And it sounds to me that they were helping these Kurdish militants towards a peaceful resolution of the conflict with Turkey. Sounds like a perfectly fine goal to me, certainly nothing that warrants prosecution.

No, thats bullshit. I am sick and tired of people's lives ruined by drugs. Many if not most of the people who are so shrill about their rights are people who have something to hide, their own drug use or whatever.

I find it pitiful that people seek to hide their own lawlessness behind the cloak of liberty. It sickens me. I have the courage to open my affairs to the light of day. I am not afraid of scrutiny. I have in this one afternoon been branded a racist and called a Nazi simply because I have dared to voice my opinion. There is fear here and plenty of it but belongs to those who want to hide and point fingers and call names to divert attention from their own anti-social lifestyles.

Most people would like to keep some things private. It's not unusual. I have not yet attempted to insult you, nor will I. You have, as you have said, dared to voice your opinion; but what are you going to do when that is no longer possible? The principles you are defending inevitably lead down the path of totalitarianism, and are completely contrary to the principles upon which this nation was founded. You're welcome to your opinion now, but you won't be when the government starts using the sort of powers you have proposed to enforce morality. With a group like Bush, Ashcroft, and Cheney in the Whitehouse, do you really think it that far fetched?
