Social Not so free to speak: Columbia University ‘refusing to help’ identify people for arrest – White House

Yes, I'm glad the Hamas supporter is getting sent back to Syria. I don't particularly care for people who don't have the best interests of our country in mind. I'm not convinced you have our best interests in mind if you happen to support this guy. Are you a green card holder by the way? Or are you a citizen?

I am indeed a citizen though who knows how long that distinction will matter to the Trump regime. I'm sure if I got deported under flimsy circumstances you'd be delighted to hear it

How is this lawless witch hunt any different from the internment of Japanese Americans?

At least we were at war with the Japanese though of course that doesn't justify the horrendous breach of civil rights that represented. Either way I think its safe to guess that scoopj would've been a fan of EO 9066

dang man... really? don't you see what you are supporting and how it could be or may be used against you one day? or someone you love? are you really this despicable of a person?

I suppose it would depend on the circumstances.

The old slippery slope argument. Yeah, not worried.

I miss the days when the country widely looked at the internment of Japanese Americans or the handling of Italian anarchists, for another example, as blemishes on our history.

you should be man. but also... its already a cliff... its already beneath the dignity of this country and of who we are. I get wanting to get illegals out of this country... but this is hateful and punitive at a level that is beneath us completely.


do you believe in God man? if so don't you see what's happening? we are going to lose any protection or help we have coming from the divine. we are becoming the bad guys at an entirely new level.

You're a weirdo lol

No. Not everyone is an overdramatic disgruntled leftist screaming at the sky trying to emotionally blackmail people into submission. Much like most people aren't worried about being picked up for any number of charges, despite so many of our fellow humans getting locked up for them, they aren't worried about this either.

Guy is a terrorist supporting piece of shit. Bye now.

How rich it is that you came into this thread to scold me for being mean to your Mayberry buddy only to end up accusing me of being anti-American and musing about my deportation, real nice guy you are.

In a way I almost hope for your sake that you never see the truth, that people like you have done more to destroy American democracy than any Hamas supporter ever dreamed of doing.

People like him don't believe in anything beyond their own egos, its why its hard for them to understand why someone might make a principled defense of a person regardless of how one individually feels about said person.

What the heck is a Mayberry?

And honestly, I really like you when you're not emotionally invested in a topic. I think you're one of the better posters and mods. But despite trying to play the poker face, it's obvious when you can't separate yourself from a topic that hits home.

 

[Cajun]

Because he's a Karen. Seriously, guy picks members to stalk and annoy over the tiniest of details of an argument that he's having in his head. @Cajun was his last love.

Current love ya bish... what of it? Wtf is going on in here today?

How am I being emotional here? You're the one who popped into this thread to complain about me being mean and even implied I'm anti-American and that you'd like to see me deported instead of addressing the relevant points I've made in regards to the topic of the thread.

Of course on some level I'm emotionally invested here, to see an American administration openly retaliate against residents for the content of their speech is disturbing as is seeing people like you making excuses for it. But if anything I think I've conducted myself far better than the likes of you and CHL. You guys seem to get annoyed when I want to drill down on the relevant details of the case and instead resort to attacking me personally, calling me emotional and dismissing the obvious concerns here.

I did not say I'd like to see you deported. Frankly, I could see us being besties in another life. I just jumped on you calling out that other guy, but whatever, I get it, I'm gonna leave it here because I have been drinking and gummying. Seriously, I like you a lot as a poster.

 

[Cool Hand Luke]

Current love ya bish... what of it? Wtf is going on in here today?

Ah the usual, some douchebaggery, some fuckery, some good old fashioned mind fucks, a little propaganda and racism thrown in for good measure, just your average day for this Mayberrian.

 

[Islam Imamate]

Let's reread the exchange

I'm sure if I got deported under flimsy circumstances you'd be delighted to hear it

I suppose it would depend on the circumstances.

So to be fair your delight would depend on the circumstances I guess. Very reassuring. Funny you accused me of lying earlier, lots of projection today it seems.

Seriously, I like you a lot as a poster.

After this exchange I can't say I feel the same about you.

I'm ok with that. But yeah, if you were deported because they found out you were a terrorist, I'd rejoice. If you were deported because of racism/Islamophobia/anything else untoward, I'd go to bat for you. I'd be on your side. I'm confused.

@terrapin, the "weirdo" according to you, is a different story. Without a shadow of a doubt I know he would.

Sad to hear that.

 

[Islam Imamate]

Sad to hear that.

Trust me, it makes me sad too though I guess that's some of those emotions of mine you were referring to earlier coming through.

But just because I know you wouldn't return the favor doesn't mean I wouldn't bat for you if you were a target of the Trump regime. Whatever I feel about you I know our rights are intertwined even if you can't see it yourself.

 

[Cajun]

what lol? Also free speech ? Or not today?

But not a citizen and we should still be able to decide the people that we want here in that case. But to be fair, I need to read up on this case.
