    What exactly has he “dictated” that you do?

And what COULD he say that would make you feel your life is in danger if you speak out against him? Because he certainly hasn’t exhibited any of the behaviors usually associated with a dictator. At last count, I think 91% of the press about him was bad, yet no dead journalists! So before you use that word again, look it up. In the meantime, keep posting stupid shit. Nobody wants to hurt you

    Old joke.

    Bunch of Indians out west listening to a political stump speech. Every once in a while the crowd shout out "Oompah, oompah."

    At the end of the speech...the local mayor shepherds the politician across a cow pasture to the train station...and cautions the politician to be careful and not step in any of the oompah.

    - oh -

    My pappy told me that joke before I reached teen age. BUT !! I don't recall the term being "Oompah".
    No worries.
    Thanks for the clarification.

    Thanksgiving Tip:
    If you're having a Thanksgiving banquet of 20 or more, some hosts collect $10.oo / attendee and pay someone to do the cleanup.
    - clear the banquet table
    - white tornado the kitchen
    - get the $#@! out of town.

    Your political sensibilities suck like a giant black hole.
    you're a retarded coward afraid of the freedom of others. you DO beg for slavery so you can feel safe.

    The asswipes who will not consent to be governed...WILL BE GOVERNED nonetheless. Its just that they won't have any say in who does the governing. Government and governing are essentials to civilization and to an ordered society.

    you're a retarded coward...
    Fuck you, you cock-sucking mother-fucker.

    ...afraid of the freedom of others. you DO beg for slavery so you can feel safe.
    I am not afraid of freedom for others...and I do not beg for slavery.

    I merely post replies to asswipes like you in Internet forums...where yellow-bellied cowards like you go to say the kind of shit you don't have the balls to say out in the non-cyber world.

    So...we have the opportunity to interact. YOU as the poor bastard imprisoned in his own misery while pretending to be free...

    ...and ME...actually free by virtue of being part of those having consented to be governed.

    Keep coming back for more, moron.

    I'm really enjoying this.

    " I do not beg for slavery. " FA

    "yes, you do." SY #386
    slavery (slâ´ve-rê, slâv´rê) noun
    plural slaveries
    The state of one bound in servitude as the property of a slaveholder or household. *


    Not clear to me what you have in mind SY. But on the basis of my substantial knowledge of what life is like in the United States of America, I have abundant rational reason to believe you are wrong.

    FYI if everything is slavery, then nothing is slavery. "Define" means to limit the meaning of. We have at least the self-imposed illusion of freedom: "... land of the free" "... home of the brave". That's inconsistent with slavery.

    Only an asshole like you would consider government...to mean tyranny.

    In order for society...for civilization...to function...government is an essential.

    Assholes like you with your dreams of anarchy and chaos are an absurdity.




    yes, you are. yes, you do.
    No, I am not...and I do not.

    I want to be as understanding of the descriptor "libertarian" as possible (descriptors suck, in my estimation)...but the problem I have with people who use it are exemplified by what Dumberthanyou writes..

    Government is essential to civilization and society...and we must all consent to be governed for the good of society. People like Dumber want to be free of government.

    That cannot happen.
