hate"Good morning. In less than an hour, aircraft from here will join others from around the world. And you will be launching the largest aerial battle in this history of mankind.
Mankind -- that word should have new meaning for all of us today.
We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore.
We will be united in our common interests.
Perhaps its fate that today is the 4th of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom, not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution -- but from annihilation.
We're fighting for our right to live, to exist.
And should we win the day, the 4th of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day when the world declared in one voice:
"We will not go quietly into the night!
We will not vanish without a fight!
We're going to live on!
We're going to survive!"
Today, we celebrate our Independence Day!"
If it actually takes a threat of worldwide human annihilation to get other people to recognize that we are all one race on one planet, then may the creatures willing to eradicate the human race try to.
I'm tired of the shit that humans do to each other or even accuse each other of.
I'm tired of people being antagonistic towards people who think the earth was created by an intelligent designer instead of evolution and who knows what started it. There is "proof" for both and it depends on how one interprets the data. Until I finally finish my time machine none of us will know for certain.
I'm tired of this stupid idea of hate crime legislation. First off, we were founded as a nation with the freedom of speech, a freedom of ideas, a freedom to have our own opinions and a freedom OF religion (not 'from' you illiterate people). As long as no one is physically hurting/harming another human being each person should have the right to believe what they want to and have their own opinions. The hate legislation will basically deny everyone their right to an opinion and the right to express it.
Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.
Benjamin Franklin (1706 - 1790), Historical Review of Pennsylvania, 1759
The First Amendment is often inconvenient. But that is besides the point. Inconvenience does not absolve the government of its obligation to tolerate speech.
Justice Anthony Kennedy (1936 - )
It is by the goodness of God that in our country we have those three unspeakably precious things: freedom of speech, freedom of conscience, and the prudence never to practice either of them.
Mark Twain (1835 - 1910), Following the Equator
I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it.
Thomas Jefferson (1743 - 1826), to Archibald Stuart, 1791
My definition of a free society is a society where it is safe to be unpopular.
Adlai E. Stevenson Jr. (1900 - 1965), Speech in Detroit, 7 Oct. 1952
