    Oh no, I understand what freedom of speech means. It means he cannot be persecuted by the government for what he says. What blowhards like Ditka are suggesting is that his dissent doesn't even deserve to have a place in America and he should leave the country if he doesn't like it. It's too bad for them that the right to publicly protest is enshrined in our laws and constitution.

    Anyway, what young Colin is doing now is nothing new

    When it's convenient he'll put on his "black face" and go from

    To

    So long as that's what he needs to do for his publicity stunt to work. That said, I liked it better when it was

    Or when it was

    So, to be clear, if we don't know his origins for a fact and you propose that he could be OBL's kid...then you are not inventing a fantasy origin story? The English language is really hard so I have trouble sometimes understanding words and meanings and - yikes! - even meanings of words. I appreciate you taking the time to help me out, though. Too bad there are not [teaching][/teaching] codes to help me pay extra good attention when I need to.

    To be clear, I'm saying that we don't know, I just used that as an extreme example as a form of exaggeration for effect that would have been obvious to any intelligent reader. Apparently that made you really confused.

    Well, yeah, because when I wrote that "regardless of made up origin stories..." you "laughed" and replied that what you wrote was true. Very, very confusing. I am too slow for conversations on the Internet!

    When I said that his background is unknown, even to him, that's true. I know you got confused by the OBL comment, I didn't realize I was talking to someone like you, I'll make my comments as easy to understand as possible in the future when dealing with you. Anyway, it's okay, not everyone has the reading comprehension skills needed for adult conversations on the internet.

    Most recent post commenting on whether Kap was really black (similar to another poster's posts about whether Obama is black). Past comments about whether black kids deserved getting killed. In fact, it seems to be a running theme of yours... criticizing black people. Heck, people include quotes from you in their sig files. And considering you have posted almost 30,000 times since 2013, there is lots of content to pull from.

    The difference of course being that we know who Obama's father is, we don't know who Colin's father is.....neither does he. So yeah, in no way bigoted statement.

    Comments about people attacking people and getting shot "deserving" to be shot.....yeah, not bigoted in any way.

    Looks like you've got nothing.

    The same as him saying he has no interest in watching the debates tomorrow. Although he spends 100 hours a month posting about a 1,000 posts in D&D. "I don't care too much about what I say as long as I say A LOT of it."

    There is a part of me that wants Trump to win and sit back and enjoy the disaster that would be.

    But then I realize I actually care about the country.

    Basically how I feel all the time.

    Unfortunately Hillary is a terrible candidate as well, but I think her 4 years are lower risk.

    I felt that way about Obama when I saw who the Republicans chose to run against him. Since they didn't take it seriously, part of me wanted him to win so that I could sit back and enjoy the disaster that it would be.

    Now 8 years later, it might as well be the 60's with all of the racial tension and nonsense that is going on and we're having all sorts of problems with terrorism due to the rise of ISIS.

    I mean, it kind of sucks for the country, but honestly, they deserve it given how they voted.

    I feel that way this time around. I don't care if you vote for Hillary or you vote for Trump, you are voting for a disaster of a president and the country will deserve the fallout for their decision no matter which national disgrace they make the next president.
