I think honestly it's because Springer coddled you just because you were a roadie and animal trainer for Motörhead for all those all those years and he wanted to meet Lemmy.

Are there really people around here that support Hamas? Like, "Go, Hamas go!"?

Thanks man.
Funny thing is everyone else agrees with me too when it’s convenient for them. I was hear for a lot of the heated threads where there were hateful people obviously trying to stir pots and provoke clashes. Those threads had a common theme from the veteran members, its freedom of speech.
Now suddenly it seems to be a problem because people are critical of a foreign country we have no foreign treaties with. They’re the biggest beneficiary of our foreign aid in history, we’ve lended our military assistance multiple times, and just recently stationed two aircraft carriers, one of our most advanced subs, and intercepted over half of Iranian ordinance. To my knowledge they didn’t give us aid when we were in their sphere of influence in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Yet, they’d be the only nation that we’d have laws and bills in place from speaking, protesting, or boycotting. I could boycott goods from a US state without anyone blinking an eye.
Even more ironic, some of the members in this very thread have said Palestinians=hamas, hamas=terrorists, and they want to see all the terrorists and terrorists supporters die. The thread is about exiling citizens, a bill proposed by lawmakers. So some are fine with a whole nation of people dying, and US citizens dying or exiled for protesting… all while they call anyone opposed to this bill Nazis. The irony is dead on them.
I didn’t report them to the mods. I don’t think what they said is illegal or against the rules of the site. I just disagree. I don’t need new laws to protect me from things I disagree with.

If you want to bring harm to American citizens for the "crime" of having different opinions than you, you cant say that you care about America or its ideals.

Um ... no. This bill, which will go nowhere, is not punishing people for having different opinions. It would be sending CRIMINALS ... those found guilty of trespassing, assault, burglary while engaging in pro-hamas protests ... to Gaza for six months as their punishment instead of to jail here.
And as far as caring about America and it's ideals ... the 'protestors' don't. They are the ones trespassing, assaulting, vandalizing, and burglarizing. They are the ones hugging Hamas and calling for the genocide of the Jews (From the river to the sea)... and they are the ones screaming to 'kill the Jews', and 'we are hamas', and 'we know where you live', and 'every day will be october 7', and 'guillotine the administration' etc. That's not protected free speech and that's certainly not caring about America or it's ideals.
