shades of fascism: Peace shirts outlawed
GUILDERLAND, N.Y. (AP) -- About 100 anti-war demonstrators marched through a mall Wednesday to protest the arrest of a shopper who wore a T-shirt that read "Peace on Earth" and "Give Peace a Chance."
"We just want to know what the policy is and why it's being randomly enforced," said Erin O'Brien, an organizer of the noontime rally at the Crossgates Mall. Protest leaders were scheduled to meet with the mall's manager after the rally. Calls to mall officials were not immediately returned. On Monday, Stephen Downs, 61, and his son were asked by mall security guards to remove their peace-slogan shirts or leave. Downs' 31-year-old son, Roger, took off his shirt. But Downs refused. The guards called police, and he was charged with trespassing and pleaded innocent. The unelected, supreme leader will be pleased. I bet this 60 year old man is held without bail, nor access to an attorney for being a sympathizer of the supreme leader's victims. |

somewhere there is intelligence indicating an imminent terrorist attack. for the good of everyone we have to torture him and see if we can get any leads. if it saves even one life it will be worth it. |

To torture him we'd have to fly him to a country that permits vigorous interrogations to comply with the supreme leader's Christian values. Saudi Arabia and Kuwait would do just fine.

Re: shades of fascism: Peace shirts outlawed
The supreme leader demands that everybody sing.......
"but I'm proud to be an American, where at least I can watch TV and I won't forget the Iraqis that will die to keep that right for me So STAND UP, Stick your right hand out, and salute the Bush CIA You'd better recite this everyday' GOD BLESS THE USA (and damn all those Muslims to hell, Jesus expects you to do this too, or you will risk the Lake of Fire) |

Re: shades of fascism: Peace shirts outlawed
Just a couple small points:
peace shirts weren't outlawed; private security guards not government officials asked them to remove the shirts or to leave; and the only charges are trespassing for not leaving upon request. Now maybe the mall employees were wrong to ask them to leave and to push this matter--but the government didn't do anything wrong here as far as I can tell--and there is no law against peace shirts. I don't think Bush will care one way or the other about this incident--but maybe someone could write a letter to the mall officials;-) |

Re: shades of fascism: Peace shirts outlawed
Can someone explain to me why the word "uppity" is only used in association with blacks? (At least, I've never heard it used otherwise.) I like the word in the abstract, but seems to have developed a negative connotation.

Re: shades of fascism: Peace shirts outlawed
Why is the word "ensuing" only used before the word "kickoff"?

Why is the word "set" only used to describe three-of-a-kind in poker? [img]/forums/images/icons/laugh.gif[/img]
