Gunman with hostages at Discovery Building

But I leave ideas for population control to communists and liberals.

...so this guy was not a patriot at all? ...but a communist liberal (almost the opposite of a patriot for the USA) because he wanted to control the population so much he tried (with guns and bombs) to force Discovery channel to help him??

...How about he is just another crazy fricker with an unreal agenda and a death wish (there are plenty of those around i am sure).

I don't think so. Sounds like he was a first class d-bag.

I'm pretty sure that silver was being sarcastic earlier when he called him a patriot. Then again, he also posted that Fidel Castro is growing on him. So, who knows?

I was just pointing out that the history of arguments for population control is much more closely tied to the ideology that Frets tends to defend than to anything that I have stood for.

A pretty reasonable response to someone implying that I would be interested in genocide, imo.

I agree. That's how I see it.

I was just saying that it's interesting that there is a double-standard between how radical acts are treated, depending on which movement the radical claims.

not by me ...i have always been against the use of guns and bombs on innocents, regardless of who is threatening with, or using, them. Environmentalists, anit-abortionists, soldiers ....you name it, and if it is waving guns around in anything but self defence I am anti.

[Frets]

I think there is a big difference between being concerned over the environment and

All human procreation and farming must cease!

I would hope that you could diferentiate between the two claims. I'm not saying you can I just hope you can. Maybe hope is too strong a word. Can you differentiate or are you hopeless?

any time a tyrant can come out and say "hey i have made some mistakes, and maybe i shouldnt have treated gay people that way" shows growth as a human being. the overall outlook of cuba gets better daily and the opening of trade as well as allowing entertainment to travel between nations is huge.
