Libya, African coastal ares etc. But Yur point about preppers is well taken - but remember that online bravado is not reality. Many of these "anti-establishment" types are on welfare of some kind now, they won't be as much of a problem later.

Oh, that's right - you're not a Nazi you're a "Patriot" (i.e Paulnut) you just look like a Nazi and goosestep like one.

The theory that National Socialism is of the right was a Stalinist attack on Nazis that American and European lefties were happy to embrace. Read a abook before you claim you know what's in it.

How about this example. Following your logic only world travelers and military vets should be politicians. The idea that every American doesn't have the right to learn about any subject they want and opine on it is an anti-republican idea that elevates certain people in a society above others. We are an educated nation and we can judge whether or not any idea has merit. I grew up in an inner city and have been shot at once, jumped a few times and had guns pulled on me three times. Does that men I should rudely tell you to keep your trap shut about urban crime, gangs etc? Or should I engage with you like a normal person with manners?

Surely you're not claiming that pundits have any practical experience aside from punditry. I have a degree in Comparative Religion and a Masters but I still listen to and learn from people who don't have the credentials or the "experience" - the folklorest for example who is an amateur collector and has clearly never seen the subject of his studies. The idea that smart people can't be listened to unless they traveled the world is as elitist as demanding PhDs. Courtney's studied these problems for years now and has been involved in "punditry" for longer than you've had this account. If you disagree with her fine but her ideas are not less deserving to be heard than yours.

Are we saying inflicting them on a larger population would be moral? Would it strategically be beneficial to America and the West for an area that embraces Wahabbism and National Socialist tendencies (Mein Kampf continues to be a best seller and Hitler is held out as a hero by many Palestinian groups) to become more influential? Since Palestinians were imported into Iran to help that regime quell democracy protests isn't there a better political argument to not support the current Palestiaina authorities who are working against our goals of Democracy in the middle east?

People with opinions on cases should be ashamed. What a wonderful world it would be if we all never made a judgement. It is selfish of me to want justice for the dead. It's unselfish of you to demand the government censor the media because you don't like criminals being pointed at. You've got this all figured out.

Yes there are valid arguments. Behavior that is legal in some states is not legal in others. An older teen with a (slightly) younger teen can result in a conviction as a sex offender, right up there with the nastiest NAMBLA type" Untrue. Name three people on the sex offender registry that were just older teens with younger teens. Teen sex offenders have their names removed after set amounts of time unless they re-offend, which offenders do often. In a recent Californian study sex offenders re-offended after release from jail at a rate of 67% for example. Adults end up on the registry for having sex with teens. "but don't you see the problem with throwing the book at some guy who met a chick in a bar who was drinking because she had a fake ID?" You think that men are fooled by fake IDs? That a man can't tell when a girl is a girl and not a woman? I say bull. And again, what case are you referencing where a man "had the book" thrown at him for not checking ID. "And you have no idea what you're talking about when you say that he claims women who got raped had it coming. I am very familiar with what he wrote that gained him some national notoriety on that subject (having read it in its original form in the campus newspaper where it was published), and what he wrote was, by and large, correct." Yeah I read those pieces. And interacted with him. Why don't you re-read his pieces and his comments and tell me what conclusion he made. "If you get drunk and wander off to some boy's room in a frat house, you are putting yourself in an awful situation. It is difficult to feel great pity for such great stupidity." That's disgusting. It's naivete not stupidity. Joggers in park put themselves in danger i guess you feel no sympathy for them. Women who drive alone at night put themselves in danger I guess you feel no sympathy for them. You're defending the assualt of people who have never been taught to protect themselves by demonizing the victims. I can't believe a person who claims to be so moral is arguing that rape victims are culpable in their victimization. Only criminals are responsible for crime, and young people always do something "stupid" because they have no experience. When I worked with kids I saw one break his arm after being told not to jump off the jungle gym. I suppose since he was doing something stupid I should have found it difficult to have sympathy for him. "Anyway. It is very misleading to state that Knepper claimed women who get raped have it coming. What he said was, do they really expect a different outcome from that behavior? Going to the frat house most known on campus for wild drunken orgies and then waking up from a drunken and drugged stupor to find oneself naked? Get serious." Are you serious? Thu, 27 Jan 2011 22:34:56 +0000 http://www.newsrealblog.com/2011/01/26/1-1/#IDComment124197084 http://www.newsrealblog.com/2011/01/26/1-1/#IDComment124183348 I would love for you to rehash this. What part of claiming teens should be acceptable sex partners for adults is valid. And how does that fit in with the child porn he sent on the web? Do you think that's also valdi. The strawman here is you pretending that catching a person doing something immoral and illegal (like send child porn or sexually harassing teens online) is "silencing" him. Prior to that he wrote screeds claiming women who got raped have it coming. You can emali it to me privately if you like but please, tell me what this "valid" argument about the age of consent Alex Knepper made.

Knepper proudly proclaims he, at 20, was banging a 16-year-old. His sexual harassment of a 14-year-old is on record and David showed you the child porn he he was sending TO TEENS. This is "literally" not up for interpretation. Clearly he thinks sexual relations with children are acceptable and he's said as much to everyone here, including you no doubt. It's interesting that you find the promotion of homosexuality, which is sex between adults, at odds with your belief but are willing to defend the sexual exploitation of children as a valid belief that we shouldn't silence.
