If I’m going to be a serious candidate for something, I need principled issues to run on and inspire the nation. So what is our great nation missing? There’s not enough violence, I say.
Look at Europe: A bunch of sissies. If that’s civility, who wants that. But look at the Middle East: A bunch of violent idiots. They got barely anything else to do than kill each other. Can’t we find some happy compromise between the two extremes? My idea is that it should be socially acceptable to punch people in the face.
Why is this important? For one, we have freedom of speech. When America first recognized the right of freedom of speech, there were duels. So, yeah, you could say what you want, but someone might bust a cap in your ass for it (but in a civil manner). We don’t have that now. And what do we have? We have hippies running around denouncing military in a time of war, the biggest losers in the world feeling empowered to troll the internet, and people generally saying things about America that aren’t very smurfy. Freedom of speech must be tempered by a right to punch jackasses in the face.
If someone denigrates the military to you, isn’t that basically consent to be punched in the face? And wouldn’t the internet be more tolerable if trolls were regularly hunted down and beaten? Freedom of speech is too important to not hurt those who abuse it.
That’s just common sense.

Clinton, Edwards hold private post-debate meeting MYRTLE BEACH, South Carolina (CNN) What were they talking about? Hillary Clinton and John Edwards met privately backstage following a very contentious Democratic presidential debate in this coastal city, sources with both campaigns confirm to CNN.
hair products? hillary’s advise on hormone replacement therapy pros and cons?
Nope, can’t vote for you until the JavaScript errors on this website get fixed.

‘Freedom of speech is too important to not hurt those who abuse it.’
That is the most intelligent thing I think I have ever heard you say.
What do imaginary javascript errors have to do with FrankJ’s candidacy? Frank, punch him in the face!
In IE -> Internet Options -> Advanced -> Browsing -> uncheck the Disable Script Debugging cbx and reload the page.
There are 3 error popups on the main page, and 2 on any comment page.
It’s driving me crazy!
yeah, frank. we can’t vote for someone who has javascript errors and slow page loads…
but when you get that fixed, i suggest we bring back duels, but with tasers instead of guns.
that way, no one dies, but we get hours of hilarity on the youtubes…
“but when you get that fixed, i suggest we bring back duels, but with tasers instead of guns.”
Guitar solo battles?
I always get the message “Done, but with errors on page” at the bottom of the browser.
Still, I like your idea. After all, isn’t my punching someone in the face a form of expression? I always felt that if a hippie can burn a flag to express digust for the country, I should be able to burn a hippie to show my digust with hippies.
Free Speech!
The javascript is probably directly responsible for the slow page load.
“Freedom of speech must be tempered by a right to punch jackasses in the face.”
Hahaha. Perfect!
When Europe was given the choice of punching islamofascists or hippies (eurohippies wear suits and call themselves ‘socialists’) they chose neither, and instead chose to punch fans of rival soccer teams. I think we need to rise above this divisiveness and sectarianism by punching all of the above.

BTW – I get the “Done, with errors…” stuff too, but I think the slowness is dependent on which ads are coming up. Some of them take FOREVER.
Quit running Linux on your Mac, you hippie! PUNCH
(Well, OK, mine says “Done, but with errors on page” too….I just want to punch some hippies in the face!)
java has to be updated on the readers end from time to time and many of us have found using Firefox helps with the slow loading
Let the threadjacking be complete!
Java and JavaScript are different things. This website does not use any Java. It does, however, have many JavaScript problems. They are getting worse on the comment page today.
And Firefox is for commies! 500 to 1 all the Ron Paul trolls use Firefox.
But if Firefox does help with the slow loading, that would indicate that the JavaScript may very well be to blame for the speed. Firefox has a different (actually better) JavaScript engine than IE does.
JavaScript needs a punch to the face!
Ohh, but Frank, violence is wrong. Didn’t they teach you that in elementary school? Right along with “if anything bad happens, the victim and perpetrator are equally to blame”?
Now I have to go wash. That little exercise in zero-tolerance-speak made me get my arms covered in BS.
Can we start in SC? It might take awhile but I’m thinking there are about 140,000 or so that need it.
I like punching people in the stomach. That little “squish” feeling is just so satisfying. Can I do that instead?
Yeah, Wacky Hermit, you’re guilty! Now go put you head down on your desk. The kids in the back were noisy.
Frank, I’d vote for you for any office on the basis of that statement alone. Heck, I’d vote for anybody, for any office on the basis of that statement alone.
The world would be a much better place if it was kosher to punch loud-mouthed morons.
