You can’t be punk and also be: Racist, sexist, homophobic or transphobic. It’s impossible.

Bugger off if you cannot be honest.

Then the news stories from last Summer were bogus? The ones with photos? And that you cannot see a morale choice in this does not make it immaterial at all.

Chicagoans are furious that a convicted felon has sent his thugs here to commit violence against our community. Join us in fighting fascist Republican assholes.

The comparison you made just shows that you have situational morality. Well, it's immoral no matter WHO does it or WHO they do it to. Morality does not depend upon any sort of score about who did what before. Understanding this is the beginning of enlightenment.

Like if you deface St Joseph Catholic School with a message damning them for the crusades, in what universe is that an appropriate practice of free speech?

If you deface a school for a particular group that is absolutely an attack on that group. Write it on the overpass across the way. It will still be seen.

Well, I am an engineer and studied physics, but this was never my study. Mechanics, electronics, fluid flows, yes, but I rely on books by quantum physics guys to comprehend this stuff, and some of *them* seem to think of them as in some way potentially real.

LOL! They have a hard time shooting down light civilian aircraft based drones.
