Let's hold the phone here for a moment.... Jeordam Send a noteboard - 26/09/2017 09:07:07 PM

If the NFL wanted to fire those guys....they could. They very easily could. There is no such mandate that an employer cannot limit the free speech of an employee on the job premises, in uniform, during work hours. In fact, the very opposite is true. They have every right to do so.

Trump is saying that if he was in charge of that business, he would fire them. The First Amendment says very clearly states that it is referring to "Congress" and not the private employer.

Cordelia was one of the few Sunnydale High students I liked or for whom I had any respect Cannoli - 21/09/2017 05:17:56 PM 581 Views

You said something similar a while back. And really, I just don't get it. Legolas - 21/09/2017 07:52:31 PM 621 Views
Oh, and just to add... Legolas - 21/09/2017 07:55:35 PM 522 Views

Alright, let's see. Legolas - 21/09/2017 08:46:43 PM 566 Views
And yet....and yet....and yet.... Jeordam - 21/09/2017 09:13:30 PM 514 Views
Now I'm curious. Legolas - 21/09/2017 09:40:32 PM 439 Views
Sure, I'll bite... Jeordam - 21/09/2017 10:07:00 PM 485 Views
In the immortal words of Dennis Leary "We got the bombs" Who cares if Iran is the adult in the room? Cannoli - 22/09/2017 11:22:43 PM 531 Views
He's right on socialism Tom - 25/09/2017 12:42:26 AM 476 Views
What about market socialism? Coops are decently popular. Ocean Spray is doing fine. *NM* Ghavrel - 25/09/2017 01:28:19 AM 279 Views
Ocean Spray is not a socialist venture in any way that I can see. Tom - 25/09/2017 01:45:44 AM 539 Views
Sure, by the original meaning of the word. Legolas - 25/09/2017 05:22:50 PM 487 Views
People misuse words all the time (cf. ironic). That's their problem. Tom - 25/09/2017 07:25:55 PM 497 Views
I'm making the argument... Legolas - 26/09/2017 07:12:56 PM 570 Views
Socialists are taking it back aerocontrols - 26/09/2017 08:03:39 PM 510 Views

Sure aerocontrols - 26/09/2017 08:32:17 PM 491 Views
It's an interesting idea. Ghavrel - 27/09/2017 02:19:19 AM 483 Views
Sounds like Singapore to me. *NM* aerocontrols - 27/09/2017 02:33:06 AM 264 Views
See, I wouldn't call Singapore democratic. Ghavrel - 27/09/2017 05:03:14 AM 425 Views
Did you see their hilarious presidential 'election' recently? *NM* Legolas - 27/09/2017 07:55:15 AM 311 Views
*shrug* aerocontrols - 27/09/2017 01:05:47 PM 452 Views
I think that's a weakness of your spectrum argument, though. Ghavrel - 27/09/2017 11:06:16 PM 403 Views
the non military is the further stretch random thoughts - 27/09/2017 02:16:03 PM 481 Views

Hmm. Legolas - 27/09/2017 06:52:46 PM 488 Views
Almost missed this reply, hiding down here. aerocontrols - 27/09/2017 09:40:41 PM 433 Views
Uh. You say no, but what follows makes it sound like yes? Legolas - 27/09/2017 11:42:11 PM 528 Views
You're again making an idiotic argument Tom - 27/09/2017 07:25:36 PM 491 Views
Which you then did your best to prove? Thank you for that, by the way. Legolas - 27/09/2017 09:13:28 PM 527 Views
No, socialist is socialist. What is so hard about that? Tom - 28/09/2017 05:05:27 AM 451 Views
I don't get it. I mean I get it but I don't get it. AgentApple - 26/09/2017 08:34:25 PM 476 Views
As if there wasn't enough getting and not getting in this thread already. Pick one! Legolas - 27/09/2017 12:13:13 AM 541 Views
I made the mistake of bothering to try reading a New York Times article Tom - 29/09/2017 12:38:07 AM 640 Views
It was a brilliant speech all around, and you don't understand Trump based on those comments. Tom - 21/09/2017 08:32:29 PM 500 Views
He's doing jack shit. He tells people everything they want to hear, then blames Congress... Legolas - 21/09/2017 08:57:36 PM 540 Views
That's absolutely not what he's doing Tom - 22/09/2017 09:54:34 PM 487 Views
If you say so. Legolas - 25/09/2017 05:31:00 PM 527 Views
I can see where you're coming from... Jeordam - 21/09/2017 08:50:03 PM 517 Views
Oh, that people voted for him over Clinton, I can understand well enough. Legolas - 21/09/2017 09:02:50 PM 434 Views
Of course I'm going to defend him.. Jeordam - 21/09/2017 09:19:32 PM 461 Views
PC is about much more than not saying things to offend people random thoughts - 22/09/2017 01:26:16 PM 519 Views
It is? Like what? Legolas - 25/09/2017 06:37:01 PM 463 Views

Trump lost credibility to me on the 'anti-PC' / 'pro free speech' issue aerocontrols - 26/09/2017 07:54:06 PM 421 Views
Yes, the "snowflake" accusation is rather hard to take seriously from people upset about the flag. *NM* Ghavrel - 26/09/2017 08:24:29 PM 223 Views
Let's hold the phone here for a moment.... Jeordam - 26/09/2017 09:07:07 PM 408 Views

I saw a statistic somewhere in an article about the controversy... Legolas - 27/09/2017 06:47:04 PM 425 Views
80% of the players may be black but a similar percentage of the fans are white random thoughts - 28/09/2017 12:59:57 PM 439 Views
Makes sense. But if 80 percent of your players is taking the other position... Legolas - 28/09/2017 06:43:23 PM 724 Views
Don't confuse PC with social norms random thoughts - 27/09/2017 02:21:49 PM 403 Views
