Men with guns can rob... discntnt_irny_srcsm Sep 2014 #66

However, once those armed robbers are caught, they face serious time. obxhead Sep 2014 #67

Realy? xfundy Apr 2014 #37

WTF are you talking about? MohRokTah Apr 2014 #39

The OP points out injustice, and does not recommend a course of action. Ergo, you're wrong. DisgustipatedinCA Apr 2014 #57

Read it again. Revolution is in there. eom MohRokTah Apr 2014 #58

Let's just go to the source. Dragonfli, pardon me, but were you suggesting a revolution in the US? DisgustipatedinCA Apr 2014 #59

The same rhetoric of revolution is used by the right wing CONSTANTLY MohRokTah Apr 2014 #60

Point out the part pushing revolution, and you may have a point. DisgustipatedinCA Apr 2014 #61

I was not advocating armed revolution else I would have stated plainly I believed such Dragonfli Apr 2014 #62

Thanks. I knew you had already answered, and that you weren't advocating revolution DisgustipatedinCA Apr 2014 #63

I really do not care for you imposing motives or conclusions on my behalf, Dragonfli Apr 2014 #20

I've read your explanation before. MohRokTah Apr 2014 #21

How could you have read a previous explanation that I had not written? Dragonfli Apr 2014 #23

Because its nearly word for word what I read from wingnuts defending their veiled calls... MohRokTah Apr 2014 #24

Do you understand the English language and the words I actually write? Dragonfli Apr 2014 #25
