Nope, we have marches, demonstrations, protests, and even the occasional riot. And we can do all of that(excluding the riots) without the fear of police brutality or governmental intervention. Honestly, I cannot see a reason why anyone would be afraid to stand up to the government. And please don't slander me with any accusations of our government being an overly corrupt, tyranical, selfish overseer. I'd like you to just go over and look at the governments of Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, China, North Korea, Syria, etc. if you have that mindset. When a person finds something they disagree with, they will voice their opinion to their heart's content. even the violent protests that are in very extreme cases required to make change will occur when necessary. That is action in my mind
Yes, they r! If u think about, U here people sit around and complain about Gas prices,The troops still in Iraq,A black president,Taxes,ect. But the point is they can complain tell they r blue in the face! But dont do anything to change it! find some one that complains about the government and ask them one question. "What r u goin to do about it?"
Just wait until the 2010 elections. Then ask us again what we are doing about it ;)
Joe, I think it's up to you, me, and perhaps a few other veteran debaters to put these whippersnappers back in their place. Have you read some of the debate titles that have been cropping up around the site? "IS THE AMERICAN PEOPLE TO AFRAID TO STAND UP TO THE GOVERNEMENT?" I think they meant ARE the American people TOO afraid to stand up to the GOVERNMENT. "why are students preasured for retarted things" I think they meant Why are students pressured into stupid things?. We need to start a new debate community that is exclusive only to veteran debaters that we have both known for a while, and veteran debaters that we know to be intelligent and thoughtful, rather than young schmucks with nothing better to do. Message me. This needs to be stopped.
ok so if you know what i meant then why are you whining cool your a veteran debater. What does that mean that you have been on this site longer? ummm good job? if you want to start a new debate community then shut up and do it instead of trying to be cool by talking crap on a website where most people are just trying to expand their minds and maybe learn a few things. so good job on accomplishing nothing on this debate and looking like a jackass
Well..., we can either start our own community and ignore them or try to reverse the brain washing they're receiving in our schools. ;)
This is just an empty, Right-wing threat that really is meaningless...ugh...

I don't think so. As I've stated before, a few armed wing-nuts are no match for the power of the federal government.

You are under the assumption that the military will follow blindly ;)

No, I simply know that the military follows orders, because it's their job to do so, period.

I've VERY aware of the so-called "Oath Keepers", and they are an extremely small portion of the military at best.

Yeah, well...., wait until the shooting starts and then we'll talk ;)
This is just more silly nonsense from you. Do you EVER take anything seriously?? There isn't going to be a shooting war in this country...now stop spreading more fear.

It can only be called "spreading fear" all the way up to the point where the shooting starts, then it's the real thing ;)
This is one of the most moronic things that you've uttered on here so far, and that's quite an accomplishment for you! I really can't believe that you actually believe some of the things that you type here sometimes. Really, no one is that dumb.

It's their job to DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION. Not follow the orders of the Congress or the President, unless it breaks military code, of course. "I, (NAME), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God. "
"It's their job to DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION" ...and to follow the orders of the civilian government, period. "I, (NAME), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States" Thanks for proving my point, moron.

"I, (NAME), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States" That's EXACTLY what I am talking about...thanks, once again, for proving my point!

They are supporting and defending "the Constitution of the United States." "against all enemies, foreign and domestic." If the president is violating "the Constitution of the United States." then he is a domestic enemy. Come on Mr. Guy, you can't be that dense... can you? ;)
"If the president is violating 'the Constitution of the United States' then he is a domestic enemy." Really?? Then why didn't the military take up arms against your buddy GWB?? Illegal torture...wars for no good reason...I could go on & on. The reason? Because that's not the way our system works. The military exists to take orders, not to give them. As for being dense, you take the cake there Joe...sheesh...

Hahahahaha! Thats where you are wrong! French Revoltion and American Revoltion proved that wrong! And since our military is huge, I'm afraid a few idiots in the white house don't match up to the MILLIONS in the military.

"French Revoltion and American Revoltion proved that wrong!" No, it really didn't. We only won the American Revolution with the help of another country's fleet, France. "And since our military is huge, I'm afraid a few idiots in the white house don't match up to the MILLIONS in the military." The military follws the orders of the civilian government, period.
