2018 PotWR Round 4: Semi-Elimination Ballot

[Fawlty]

I'm struggling to understand what the point of disagreement or controversy is in this exchange. He said that, in reference to a question of whether Assange should be imprisoned, he should be if it is shown that he broke United States criminal laws, which it seemed to Fawlty that he did - but that he would need to see the charges and that those charges would need to be litigated. It's pretty much the same thing that Quipling and I said, right? That Assange should receive due process and not be summarily imprisoned, but that he shouldn't be given immunity to laws in place. So what's controversial about that?

There's nothing controversial. Cubby wants to plead his bush league first amendment arguments and is frustrated that I'm not interested in that.

He seems in favor of charging Assange. I'm not. After that it's just me hoping he'll share his thoughts on how the First Amendment comes into play. Then we can get rockin'.

Those are boiler-plate positions.

The unwarranted petulance makes you sound 1%?



Law and proceedings are a given and not really principle in question in this case. So you get credit for not suggesting a mob string him up.

If you could speak coherently on how free speech and press are involved that'd be great. That's where the discussion lies. Well, at least the intelligent and (to me) interesting discussion. If this ain't your wheelhouse we can pick another subject you'd feel more comfortable with.

It isn't going to go anywhere. It won't be "intelligent" because you're just going to flatly advocate for first amendment absolutism, presuppose that Assange's espionage was journalism, on and on. Boring. Predictable. That's the kind of argument that only doesn't eat shit because it's embarrassed about being a cannibal. Not interested.

Let's see the charges.

Nope. More entertained that you're incapable of little more than petulance.

lol at plead.

Pussy. Find me in a thread when your nuts drop.

No, you're just fucking retarded lol.

Hint: We can't know enough to make an informed judgment on the impact of the Assange case on free speech and press until we know through the factual evidence the extent to which he was practicing free speech and journalism.

Now go theorycraft me up a sammich, bitch. And then throw it away because you didn't make it right.

 

[Fawlty]

Also, notice that you offered nothing on the subject whatsoever (yet I did). All you did was demand other people say stuff, and then bitch that they didn't want to play fetch.

Unlike you, this retard knows how to philosophize based on hypothetical scenarios. Sorry you don't.

Figures you're more concerned about food.

So, hypothetically, you actually had something to say besides bitching about others not finding your dull lines of inquiry interesting. But only hypothetically.

Make up your mind.

 

[Fawlty]

Make up your mind.

*Gong*

No Cubby, you didn't offer anything. You didn't even make it to the part where you make terrible first amendment arguments.

Free speech, free press. He's not an American, nor were his actions on American soil. Now you tell me what overcomes that. Don't know how more simply I can lay out the path here.

 

[Mr. Shickadance]

I tell you to vote for @Cubo de Sangre .
He is the one.

Really why, because he wants a status quo of no status quo? That's as original as a closet BDSM republican.

I'm here, Sherbro. Ask away.

 

[Mr. Shickadance]

I'm here, Sherbro. Ask away.

What can you do for me ? And don't say "don't ask sherdog what sherdog can do for you but what you can do for sherdog!"

Do you have a great topic for a thread, but it always gets fucked up by trolls and off-topic banter? If so, I can give you a platform and squelch the bullshit posts.

Do you want to see the occasional discussion that resembles the above, even if you didn't start the thread? If so, I'll be enlisting great posters from across the political spectrum to create 20 different threads lasting 2 weeks each.

Do you want our community to have a more non-partisan tone? That's me. I want to get us out from under the stench of the Homer admin and the extreme right/left divided the first two elections have created.

Another epic song by Danzig:

If you want the answer
If you want the truth
Look inside your empty soul
There you'll find the noose

 

[SBJJ]

Be honest. I have enough respect for you to know that you can tell that SBJJ is of below-average intelligence and a raging partisan and that Fawlty is in the top 1% here.

It's a troll job at this point with this guy. Sad a below average intelligent poster is about to hand you a nice betting loss on what is supposed to be your area of expertise

Do intelligent people tend to stalk others? I think not

Stalk on Jacky! There are no restraining orders online.
