    Damn, this is true in Louisiana.

    A friend of mine was just sent to prison for life for killing a man, after the man attacked him with a knife. My friend picked up a brick to help defend himself. But in Louisiana there is no self defense laws.

    LMAO,

    Very funny article. I love these sarcastic pieces were they make fun of the extreme right winged. It must be fun for the author to make such stuff up. Also it might be a bit much, even the most right winged nutjob would not think these things are true. :rolleyes:

    I do sort of miss the actual defenition of a socialist. And of course nothing she wrote is even remotly true. But there must be some people stupid enough to actually take this seriously.

    That is one of the sadly ignorant things I have ever read. That woman is a walking sandwich board for death panels.

    I don't know if you're being sarcastic but I'm pretty sure there is self-defense law in Louisiana. For that matter Louisiana isn't run by Socialists.

    Sadly we see quite a few of them on this forum. They were brought up to "think" like this. I know you are from Holland?, but haven't you noticed them.

    You lefties on this board are so typical and predictable, this article describes you guys right down to your DNA, number 9 & 10 are so so true!

    Peace out COMRADES!

    FAIL 1: we haven't met. (not that I'm complaining)

    FAIL 2: that list is the irrelevant work of an imbecile and it describes only a phantasm of any real human being. It is a cartoon, and sadly not even a funny one. It only accomplishes a sad commentary that our education system failed completely in trying to teach that citizen anything.

    FAIL 3: your use of DNA. On average, there's greater genetic variation in one main political party than the other. You can figure it out by checking out your fellow screamers at the next town hall, or when you see the last presidential election map of states.

    Here's a hint about genetic variation from the last republican convention, where party faithful describe their obsession with the democratic nominee... an O-bsession that has only grown.
