Wow, spoken like a true backwoods yokel oozing the sort of knee-jerk patriotism we were commenting on! To silence that which you oppose... why, that sounds decidedly un-american. But that's okay, it's in the name of AMERICA!

The true patriot is a thinker, a historian and one who questions authority rather than blindly follows. In a "representative democracy" it is the patriot's responsibility to be educated so that one might make informed decisions.




Keep thinking that... There is a reason Bush is still in the White House... Muahahahah

The "True Patriot" is the one who protects and defends the Constitution of the United States against enemies, both foreign and domestic.

When I first visited that area, it was a Starship Enterprise attacking the Twin Towers. This was clearly a violation of the Prime Directive, so I made them change it to the Death Star.

Satire it may be, but if enough people are finding it offensive, then as satire, it's an astonishing success.

Whatever these guys did on their land is their right and their choice. That's called 'Freedom of Speech'. However terrible and ugly or inappropriate you may find it.

Whatever Billy Madison thinks about it, and how he expresses his opinions in the forum, is his right too. Following the same principle. Also the negrating is in itself expression of opinion.

The same can be said about the other posts.

But:

Bunch of unpatriotic F'ers... You got a Sim Location? I'll get some boyz together and we'll take care of this issue.


The statement of Alby is, in my opinion, completely wrong. Threats and violence are the fanatics and radicals method of dealing with issues.
This one statement by itself undermines the principles and freedoms of the country he is trying to defend.

Does that include the RIAA and other DMCA proponants, or US Government branches who would take your freedoms away?

Even not being american at all, i feel extremely offended by that build. Satire on the death of thousands of innocent people? Give me a break... Not only some people are literally raping the grid with some tasteless, useless, offensive and simply fugly builds, but they are even trying to mask their intents to simply cause trouble with words like "Art" and "Satire"... ah, let's not forget "postmodern": one of the most abused words to mask something that it's simply tasteless...
Anyway, until the lindens continue to let open the possibility of safely griefing with builds, there is nothing we can do other than negrate, abuse report, shrug and move on, in front of the stupidity of the usual hateful kid.

About the "green men" as some have stated, it's just a Cactuar from final fantasy, and even having been killed several times by it, i don't find it offensive. The resemblance to a swastika seems kinda casual to me, even because towo of the arms have an inverted rotation compared to the nazi swastika.

But don't worry, before or later we'll see swastikas popping up around the grid, in the name of "freedom of exspression". After all we already have the emblem of communism around, that caused as many (if not more) deaths than the nazi party

Defending the constitution doesn't mean keeping it safe in an argon filled case in the national archives.

Does that mean we should have sent a letter of disguse to the Taliban and asked that they hand over Osama Bin Laden on Sept. 12th?

You logic is flawed. Back to your flower garden. Let the Patriots who are brave enough to defend this land get back to work.

Of course there is. The Bush Administration has instilled fear of a virtually faceless, unyielding and omnipresent enemy into the undereducated and underinformed populace.

For christ's sake - there are people who think Iraq had something to do with 9/11 even after the 9/11 commision said "Uh, no. No Iraq involvement." As a whole, we are a stupid and poorly informed people.

But we're happy that way, so it's alright. Just go back to watching your NASCAR and eating your Supersized Mc Value meal with a Diet Coke

I will admit, this wins post of the year. The entire thing was a laugh riot and there wasn't a single moment in the entire post I wasn't laughing.

2 thumbs up.

Apperantly building something in the middle of the sim we own 90% of is archetectual griefing and I believe its working, were in the middle of negotiating a sale to ourselves at an amazing profit.

Again, it's interesting on how people immediately turned this thread to politics, instead of maybe thinking that in those towers some thousand innocent people died. I wonder if "Mr nice guy" that built those towers and the ones that defend him have tried putting themselves in the shoes of any of the relatives of the victims of that disaster. It's not unlikely that some of them are part of SL as well. Have fun causing them more grief in the name of politics masked as satire.

The Bush Administration does not allow you to post this unauthorized picture of a flag-draped coffin. Your unpatriotic actions in antagonism of direct orders from your Commander-In-Chief will now be reported to TIPS.

The nice thing about free speech, is you can say (and make) anything.

The bad thing about free speech, is that you can say (and make) anything.

Deal with it.

Not that I would consider these builds to be blatant hate speech, but keep in mind that hate speech is NOT protected speech.

And it's even interesting to see how some people are able to answer only with those kind of sleek and quite tasteless remarks. Online communities always make a good source of knowledge on the human nature (or the nature of some humans).
