Earl

zinc burns before copper, so heat it HOT and you'd get good metal.... but thats neither here or there.

Not much copper in modern one cent coins.

They became even angrier when I made them wait while I counted out their pennies (we were required to count out all fees and change, so it wasn't "malicious compliance" on my part).


Side note - At the old Hershey Park Arena you had to pay $2-$3 to park close to the arena, free parking at the far lots. In 2002 the new "GIANT CENTER" opened next door which was built with tax dollars and licensing fees - Hershey didn't pay a penny (cent) for it. Now they charge SEVEN DOLLARS to park anywhere on the complex - the bums! But I'm not mad enough to take 700 pennies (cents) with me.

Paying the bill in coins was not the charge and is not illegal. The A-hole behavior is illegal and is what he was charged with.

Not even close to done.

One case involving an ACLU state official mentioned in multiple articles while most articles had nothing whatsoever to say about what you claimed.

One. Not seven.

Yes, Joe McCarthy is definitely smiling on you. You have inherited hims mantle for making inflammatory statements based on less evidence than the authenticity of Piltdown Man.

.

Yes, the one case I could find was from the Virginia state chapter, not the National organization.

No evidence of 7 members of the National ACLU Board of Directors being arrested for child porn.

And looking at the ACLU's website, I couldn't find any evidence of the organization even HAVING an entity called a "Board of Directors", for that matter....

You are right, I was wrong. It wasn't 8 BoD ... sorry I didn't get it right enough for the two of you.

So I guess its OK to have child porn?

ACLU supports NAMBLA (North American Man Boy Love Association) that is documented and I suggest you google that one or do you want me to post the links and the cases they have filed for NAMBLA and its right to exist. A man having sex with a child is an AMERICAN value/virtue and freedom of expression so say the ACLU ... let me link that because I know that one will be denied; BRB...

... back:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-sr...e171914_000.htm

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curley_v._NAMBLA

need more? OK...

http://www.nambla.org/ <-- main site ... read about them they are very open minded and not so closed minded and shallow like me. Why I should embrace ALL that the left was to offer; the death camps, mountains of skulls (http://www.hawaii.edu/powerkills/RM1.CAMB.SKULLS.JPG), welfare, dependency. Why the left has so many ideas that have only indirectly lead to the deaths of over 100 million people in the 20th Century, not counting the 5 billion for wars during the 20th century. Why I am sure American NAZI's, Socialists, NAMBLA members and the rest will only do a FAR batter job in the 21st century. Why the hell I am so closed minded? Why can't I just hit the bong, go on welfare and burn it all down with the rest of you?! Something is TERRIBLY wrong with me! I need drugs, programs, and a representative in Congress who will keep the free checks coming to my mail box. Hell, America isn't about anything anymore except getting yours before the other guy can! I need to learn this pronto!


If you believe in nothing, you fall for everything.


It all needs to be raised to the ground. In my honest opinion, the United States of America has lost morals. ethics and God and deserves to be destroyed. I hope Obama gets everything he and his puppet masters seek, because you and I have EARNED our d amnnation. We have EARNED it.

The ACLU supports the rights defined in the constitution. That includes providing legal representation for crimes that you consider not worthy of representation. The rule of law is founded on equal treatment. You are condemning the ACLU because your revulsion at certain crimes has extended to denying those accused of them from receiving legal representation. Without it, there would be a cloud over their trial/conviction. With it, a conviction is stronger. In your haste to score political points you seem all too willing to sacrifice the very constitution you claim to defend.

Yes the founders of this Nation, dead old white men, some even slave owners, meant for organizations where men could be protected while having sex with children. I am sorry, I forgot about that lesson we learned in Civics/History class.

Peter, stop... your true nature is showing!

Yes without the ACLU, I would be dangling from a tree ... the ACLU is the ONLY thing standing between me and a Klanman's rope. Thanks for reminding me of that. Thank God almighty for the ACLU!!!

Stop yourself. Your obvious lack of appreciation for the rule of law and how it was established is showing.

It isn't about "protecting" child molesters. It's about protecting the rule of law and the constitution.
