It's not a ban, it's not close and you remain factually challenged, again.


Teri, I have every right to respond to any and every post on this board as I -not you- see fit, just as much as any and every person who populates this board enjoys the same access.

I've run out of ways to say it. Anything else would just be repetitive.

Sure you do, but you seem particularly interested in following me around and personally attacking me, no matter what the issue is. READ THE RULES. I am trying VERY hard to ignore you, since I realize I am personally biased, and this election is igniting a lot of passions, but you're not going to run me off. You're not going to shut me up, and I'm not going to put up with a trail of attack spam behind me everywhere I go. I don't have to agree with you, and I have every right to present the opposing view to just a fraction of your countless Hillary-Hater posts.

SO BUGGER OFF!

Recruiters are like used car sales men. They tend to make everything a bit rosier than they really are. So I have a hard time feeling bad for them when someone is doing nothing but making things a little more difficult for them.

So what would you call a city counsel measure that states that Marine recruiters are "not welcome in this city"? A friendly suggestion?

Fucking Berkeley. Sell'em to the Russians. Annex it to Venezuela.

It's Berkely CA, not the O.K. Corral.

They didn't give them until sun-up to get out of town.

They are the city council, not Doc Watson.

Have I mentioned the word 'gesture' yet?

If you can over react to this mild of a protest, WITHIN their own democratically elected council, then you leave them only the option of meek acceptance of anything they disagree with.

You know...The American Way.

They're all, individually, 10 times the American you are. Why don't you go goose step off to some country that doesn't allow free expression?

I see your point. But if the city counsel passes a measure that says people cannot have, say junk cars sitting in front of houses. They can take legal action to enforce it. I don't think this measure is enforceable or legal, and I see why they're upset with recruiters, but I don't think they have the legal authority to pass such a measure, and I would say it's the wrong way to go about it anyway.

babylonDon

What's to enforce? Unwelcome-osity?

They voiced their opinion as a community. What's the right way to go about that?
