    @Azreal231916 He was because he died… It´s so sad…

  6. NoRestart June 26, 2010 8:44 pm

    @ORSLAH IF you want to tell the truth make them laugh or they´re going to kill you. That´s what he was doing…

  7. ORSLAH June 27, 2010 2:26 pm

    @NoRestart Now what if, just what if, we don’t die but simply change energy form. As I believe our late great Mr Einstein proved, Guess that would take the fear of them killing me away which leaves me able to speak my truth with no fear of what will come of it.. :)

    @ORSLAH I say what I want and when I want. I don´t fear no man and no pain no matter what will come afterwards. YOu see they will have to die sooner or later as well. That´s why I don´t give a FUCK. I am a man and not a bitch ass coward. I always say what I think without hesitation or doubts about my safety. I am always honest to people as hard as it might be from time to time for them and me.

    Incredible! A bill of temporary privileges.

    Funny, but flawed. If humans are born with privileges then they can be easily taken away by gov’t. If as a nation of free people we declare to recognize certain human rights then its far harder for gov’t to revoke them. Thats the difference. Gov’t doesn’t issue rights — like a dictator or Mullah on high — a free people decide to recognize certain rights and assigns the responsibility to gov’t to protect them.

    The Japanese-american interment gets a lot of slack, but considering they “US & Japan”, were at war, I don’t see them as something so outlandish, it’s not like they killed, or they were never released, they were from a country they were at war with, and until that war ended, they were basically cells capable of an attack from the inside. If anything, blame the Japanese government of the time, for deciding to bomb pearl harbor. That’s like kicking a dog, and then complaining about getting bitten.

  18. TruthfulThinking July 28, 2010 9:40 pm

    @usernamefromhell The government was created under man with no rights at all. To think that this was justified is delusional. They shot some of them when they tried to escape. I guess they should have locked up all white people when we went to war with Germany…

  19. usernamefromhell July 29, 2010 5:32 am

    @TruthfulThinking No, they should have locked up German Nazi sympathizers. Again, I’m not saying it was the right thing to do, I’m just saying it’s not completely unjustified. Honestly the reason Afghanistan and Iraq have gone on for so damned long, is because the US has been pussyfied, they should either A)get the fuck outta there entirely(never should have gone in in the first place), or B) Bomb the crap outta the entire middle east, just blow em off the fuckin’ map, boom, conflict resolved!

  20. usernamefromhell July 29, 2010 5:35 am

    @usernamefromhell War is hell, and civilians ultimately are the ones that pay the price, but better to end the conflict quickly than to draw out the suffering for years and years.

    damn it Mr. Carlin i wish u didn’t left us early. tsk tsk

  22. chuthewolfify August 4, 2010 12:17 am

    @usernamefromhell it’s better to not start the conflict in the first place.

  23. seenn0theard August 11, 2010 3:15 pm

    @usernamefromhell They were American citizens. They had their property taken from them. There was no due process. Suspicion only because of their ethnic origin. Many of them were born in the US and had never been to Japan and couldn’t speak Japanese. Why don’t we take away your freedom for a few years, and so long as we don’t kill you, then it was no big deal?

    Fortunatly for us, a true rationalist, Ayn Rand, already demonstrated the importance of? rights and the rational basis for their existance.

    “Rights aren’t rights if someone can take them away. They’re privileges. That’s all we’ve ever had in this country.”
