| Pee Wee Herman | It depends on the kind of pie and the kind of cake. Some kinds of cake are better than some kinds of pie and vice versa. | |

| Helm | Pie is better than cake. | |

| sspadowsky | You guys are missing the point. In terms of sheer antagonistic prickishness, OAO has found himself a kindred spirit. Hooray for him. | |

| Helm | Talk about eating the pie and still having it. | |

| The One and Only... | Libertarian. Think of a conservative, only slap on numerous socially liberal policies for a little more flavor. | |

I don't see why he needs protection... if he cannot fend any agressor off utilizing his own strengths, then the world is better off without him, right? Moreover, making his continued existance dependent on police protection is an oxymoron since said police is an instrument of a humanist state(well, debatable, but for the sake of the argument)... on that note the campus he's on is also one institution in many dedicated to the humanitarian education. He surely doesn't need any of that, does he? This person shouldn't hide behind free-speech arguments. He should impose his beliefs using might, if he weren't such a hipocrite. |

| Emu | So where does that leave you? | |

Because it touches on so many issues, such as: 1) Assholes; 2) People who give the right-wing a bad name; 3) Hypocrits who only tolerate those with their own views; and... 4) Free speech. This sort of thing is a perfect example of why I hate the modern day left-wing and conservative right-wing. |

| Jeanette X | I'm curious as to why you were interested this, OAO. What was it about this article that made you want to post it instead of your usual laissez-faire capitalism stuff? | |

far right (laissez faire capitalism). this is not far right. And communism and capitalism are socioeconomical theories. |

| mburbank | Is the point of that article is that the kid is a complete asshole who only feels ral if people hate him, and that right wing talk show hosts who are adults who only feel real when they are hated think they've found a hero in him? 'Cause that's just sad. | |

| The One and Only... | By modern standards of what constitutes the right-wing, the most extreme branch would be Pinochet-esque dictatorship. | |

| theapportioner | Nonsense - of course they are political. Economics is as much politics as science. | |

Communism and Capitalism are economic theories, not political. Quote:

| Brandon | Am I the only one who thinks it absurd that people like this kid think the "average American" is on their side? | |
| Jan 31st, 2004 03:44 PM | ||
| Big Papa Goat | The neo nazism that this kid is spewing. Laissez Faire capitalism is just classic liberalism. | |
| Jan 31st, 2004 03:26 PM | ||
| Pee Wee Herman | It was the most right leaning political persuasion I could think of. Can you think of one that leans further right than laissez faire capitalism? | |
| Jan 31st, 2004 03:20 PM | ||
| Big Papa Goat | I think that guy goes a little farther right than laissez faire capitalism. | |

I think the kid did have the right to do what he did, but he did go a little far with the second flyer about immigrants and shit. Just because you have the right to say something doesn't mean you should say it when it will piss everyone off. Just because I can get a swatstika tattooed on my forehead and go to a bar mitzvah and shout in German like Hitler, doesn't mean I should. When he said was insulting immigrants in his second flyer, that was unamerican, since America is an immigrant country. aproximately 99% of the people in the USA aren't exactly descendants of Chief Galloping Horse. Also, immigration is good for the USA. They create jobs. These immigrants will need things like health care, food, electricity, homes, etc. People will get hired to provide those things, thus creating more jobs. I feel that this sort of political extremism is bad, be it far, far left (communism) or far, far right (laissez faire capitalism). Political extremism has all sorts of nasty side effects. Many people don't seem to realize that conservatives and liberals are merely sides of the same coin. |

They didn't say he has bodyguards 24/7.. just escorts to and from class. I bet this kid stays barricaded in his room. |

| The One and Only... | Kicking someone's ass is pretty hard to do when a state-provided bodyguard follows him around. | |
| Jan 31st, 2004 03:01 PM | ||
| Brandon | Let the little nazi run his mouth, I suppose. Someone is eventually going to kick his lanky ass, so it'll all turn out ok. | |
