you say no
I say yes!

Someone ban him again.

His ranting is hilarious.

I can't his nick says no. :P
No means no...or does it? ;)

Galleri told me no... but what she was really saying was "wait until hubby leaves the room!"

Your wife tells me the same thing! ;)

lolol

Someone dig up the old post about there being no freedom of speech on privately owned web sites. I think it was by Mickster back in the swirve days.



*bonus*

What a moron...

I guess you can read , Nita:

http://boards.swirve.com/...hread=14&spec=4957026

" Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."


Notice, it says CONGRESS. So that means that the Federal Government of the United States of America cannot make laws preventing "Freedom of Speech".

It makes no reference to message boards that are owned and operated by an individual. And guess what. Swirve is owned and operated by an individual, who can determine what he wants posted, and what he doesn't want posted.

So. What this means is that if Swirve doesn't want it posted, you can't post it. If Swirve, or their agents, find your post offensive, or violating thier rules, they can delete it. They can delete your post, they can even ban you from posting.

You agreed to that when you signed up for an account to be able to post on thier boards. If you don't agree, then don't post.

But bottom line is that if Swirve doesn't like your post, they can delete it.

Regardless, the server is not located in the US and is not bound by US laws :P

Doesn't matter because Al Gore invented the internet, so anything internet related is bound to America!

Oh Canada.... lol

So it's located in America Jr?

canuckland doesn't have freedom of speech?

sure (constitutionally) but there is no reference to "congress" there. And the implications and limitations are quite different. For example based on Canadian law, limiting political donations does not infringe on "freedom of speech" and corporations are definitely not people.

Regards, my point was that quoting US law is invalid for purposes of your argument.

Dude... you overdosed on your logical pills today. This here is th' INTERNETS. Logic has no place here!

dibs or illegal alien or trifecto?

martian did you intend to type 'besides' instead of 'regards'?

this thread has merit

@vic I meant regardless.. but that works too:P

dibs wwhere are you?

i need a drinking partner

this is getting tough alone

I'm fairly certain that I'm allowed to shoot you if you interfere significantly with my rights to life and liberty. they might not even bother with an indictment if i don't leave town to do it.

course, since i actually need you in the event that i forget my forum password because I'm using one of your spammail accounts as my email addy... hmm, Patience probably ban and delete me anyway. probably safe to shhot you.

definitely need work on my drunken typos. how you work this autocomplete dealybob?

Don't ban Dibs, he's funny at least. We can all get a laugh out of the crap he posts.

He's better than Marshal anyway. Marshal posts fluff up that hurts my eyes from time to time.

Dibs is occasionally funny, but mostly he's just nonsensical and annoying.

Sorry, Cerb. I'm gonna ban anyone who drops the C-bomb on me. He's lucky he's posting again now.

*drops candy-bomb on patty*

I don't think this is the real Dibs. He had much more flair back in the day. Now he's all huffandpuff with no hootenanny.

you're a hootenanny

Oh. May this be entertainment for u.

i'm a figment of my own imagination. I am the real Dibs. all's I have to do to prove it, is to yell "Xena Warrior Princess!" at the top of my lungs. plus I'm the only idiot who tried to play Earth with MSNTV2. I do drink a bit less though.

just message Dibs Ludicrous on xbox live and see if that crazy drunk admits that I am me.

you don't generally

i don't remember what happened... oh. i didn't get a response as to what I said that was racist, realized it was highly unlikely that I'd ever play the game as it is, changed my passwords so I couldn't logon, but then I turn facebook back on, so it's technically possible for me to retrieve them again. but I don't want to post as Dibs Ludicrous now. Ijm dedicated to being a Drunken Forum Troll until I can do enough pullups to be considered a Drunken Monkey.

suppose i could brag about my Pinball FX2 scores. wait, it's probably not even important that I am me. fine. I am NOT Dibs Ludicrous.

how many Earth players would bother with paying homage to me by putting Dibs in their name anyway? oh, lookie, a fan. hope i don't have to shoot the idiot.

oh. i found it. huh. go figure.

Ok then.
