Pali Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 If your response is not directed at a person, it makes things confusing if you quote them in the process. Just sayin'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Twendrist Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 The quote was for you in response to you not hearing many Americans talk about the tyranny concept. I merely disagree with that. The bleeding liberal part was in reference to those Americans who completely disregard truth in exchange for the idea that no one should ever raise a fist or anything against another person. The people who would take pacifism to the extreme and say that people shouldn't even defend themselves. As of yet I haven't heard anyone here go that far down that road. That was the in general part.

Pali Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 All I said was my personal experience - I can't speak for anything beyond that. I also pointed out that this thread, overall, supports my point as most of the people here who spoke in favor of gun ownership did so for self-defense purposes. And the term for those people is "pacifists", not "liberals" - they are not synonymous. Pacifists may generally fall on the liberal end of the political spectrum, but they're a pretty small minority as far as I can tell. Loud, but small.

J.Twendrist Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 I thought bleeding heart liberal explained well. They would naturaly be more to the extreme than the typical liberal. It's not just pacifists. The crazy chick who owned the petstore that death wanted to date in family guy would be a good example I think. I speak of extremists here, I thought I conveyed that point pretty accurately but I suppose not. My b. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mya Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 If you can, Mya, please name one democratic revolution in history that was led by the military of the country rather than the civilian population. As far as I know, you will not be able to do this. Sure... 25 of april in my country http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/25_de_Abril Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pali Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 I stand corrected - though the very first sentence of the Wikipedia article says that it was a military coup coupled with civil resistance. Regardless, this has not been the norm throughout history (at least when it comes to revolutions that actually ended up creating democratic governments rather than revolutions that began with the intent of doing so).
