My aunt and uncle resemble that show Dharma and Greg. It's sickning. Hippies, Peta people etc. feel they need to tell people how to live but get upset when others tell their lazy asses to get a job.

I don't think the term 'hippies' really has much validity by this point; that's best used to describe a long extinct creature from the sixties.
"Hippies, Peta people etc. feel they need to tell people how to live but get upset when others tell their lazy asses to get a job."
Well, yeah, because they more than likely have a job, and get tired of some retart telling 'em to get something they already have. I've done protests and get the 'Get a job' remark yelled at me, which makes alot of sense on a Saturday when the person telling you that obviously isn't at work either.

You're right, those hippies had purpose and direction. Modern day hippies are a characture of themselves while standing on a pedestal of moral self righteousness.

Yeah just like those that are more successful find it irratating that some loser that needs a shower is telling them that they are facist evil-doers because they don't support the the hippies/libbies points of view. A good example would be all of the Hate that is on this site.

Oh, i think it's nothing but hate, it's sort of sad if you think aboot it. The hippies in the 60's were better at getting their points across w/o hate and violence like many of the protests that happen today. Hell, one just needs to look at the last Woodstock, fucking morons.

Exactly. When conservatives dish out criticism, they consider it funny, but when the liberals dish it out they consider it hateful. It's all just good debate so we can both hopefully learn something. I learn a ton here.

Give an example if you don't mind. Quote:

no, when liberals smash in windows and throw bricks at innocent people we find that to be a tad hateful. Besides when someone starts a thread that says "I Hate GWB, I Hate Big Businesses, I Hate America (fill in a country of your liking) It's only makes sense that they are speaking from their heart. Why hide from it? Just admit the hate and we can move on from there. Quote:

A healthy debate doesn't have Hate in it. Maybe liberals like to hate, who knows?

Tough choices.
I guess a lot depends on who a person sees as the enemy and how willing they are to lay down their life for what they believe in.
Personally I see the issue as a lack of courage. There may be a lack of intelligence these days. There may be a lack of morality these days. There is probably a lack of a lot of things.
But in my opinion it is the appalling lack of courage that is the most troublesome.
Us versus them.
Which side I am on?
Freedom. I want the freedom to live my life as I so choose with the minimum of interference from others.
Would I fight for my freedom?
Yes, and lose my life in the process if I had to. Remember, we will all die someday. So I guess you can live your life as a coward and die as one or you can live your life as a free man and take the consequences for your actions.
Each of us makes that choice everyday.

"That's good to hear, Luvdemshrooms and I will be over around 8:00 pm." Yeah, but what do I serve, I mean, does it have to be domestic?
I don't think anybody is going to get too far fighting the government, no matter how many firearms you possess, they have the means to put out a big crowd of people very quickly (BZ gas).

Yes, I have considered moving to Canada and am considering it. However, I am looking for a broad range of freedoms that I probably wouldn't be able to enjoy there.
And as far as fighting is concerned I weigh my options carefully and I do not fight needlessly. There is a difference between a brave man and a fool.
But it is also said that the man who only fights when he can win is either a coward or a bully and likely both.
In some sense we fight everyday. It is a manner in which we live. When you are in a group of people discussing some issue and a side is taken by the group that is wrong, do you remain silent and keep the peace at all costs? Or do you quietly state your case and take the abuse which might follow?
There are many ways to stand up for what you believe in.

Mr_Mushrooms, what do you think of the words spoken by James Garner (I think it was as Bret Maverick or maybe in 'Support Your Local Sheriff'), "He who doesn't fight and runs away, lives to run another day."
BTW, I do like what you posted on this subject.
