Something I GOTTA know!

@Zooey72:

I was watching some protests, and it really doesn’t matter what the protest was about; however there was someone who was a counter-protester who was very peacefully filming the whole event.  Police were present and there was no violence.  However a group of the protesters walked in front of the guy filming and blocked him filming with their signs.  Can they do that?  I wouldn’t think that would be legal to do, but they did it anyway and the cops allowed it.  I wouldn’t even think this would be a state by state thing either, the First Amendment is pretty straight forward with this kind of thing.

Anyhow, I would be curious to find out if anyone has the info.

Thanks.

He’s allowed to film it, they’re allowed to block it

:-o :-o  8-) :lol:

well, you still have the chances Jenn

if not this year then 2012 :mrgreen:

Maybe you have to read the comics more often.  The cat is Bucky’s english cousin he’s talking about football.  Sachel, the dog, is always trying to be eveyones best friend.  So he’s trying to be suportive but realy has no clue as usual.

Like I said it’s probably just my sence of humor.

This reminds be of when I was in Belfast last year.  I’m sitting in a pub shooting the bull with some locals (much more interesting that going on tours)  On of the guys says “So you a football fan?”  I say “Well, European football isn’t that popular where I’m from.”  He says with a stern look,“You do like sports though, right?”  I am quick to come back with “Oh of course, I’m just more into American football and baseball.”  He looks at me with some relief and says “Well thats something anyway.”

That’s probably not as funny as I think it is either…

How can somethinf that was banned after the “Lenin’s Bolsheviks” took the power be history “long before Lenin” ?

..In fact they were banned in 1921 after Lenins' Bolsheviks seized power in 1918\. Your "menshevik" thing was way back in History long before Lenin. ... Thats exactly why the brilliant Germans saw this opportunity to push the allready problematic Tsarist regime.

menshevik party started around 1900 pushing some reforms , while many of its members became dissatisfied with some of the ideas and broke off to form their own party called the Bolsheviks. Eventually these Bolsheviks came to power and banned all the other parties including menshevik party in 1921. My comment was you confused Lenin as a menshevik but he wasnt , he was Bolshevik. That party existed before the Bolsheviks started and got banned after they got into power. Thats your answer.

If Lenin was not released from a Swiss prison, its quite certain the revolution would not have suceeded w/o its charasmatic leader. So thats exactly why the Kaiser allowed it to occur … so he could destroy his enemy from within. Thats a brilliant concept.

i was pleasently surprised at your listed “problems for continuing the trade embargo” - particularly number 4. Given this new perspective on the type of person i took you for, i was then re-disappointed with your subsequent posts

The truth must be enabled and tempered by both sides so it can be clearly seen like a forest thru the trees. My “experience” takes into account “your” sensibilities but the conclusions are different because we are arriving from different footpaths in the forest of our ideas. I hope that i disappointed you because to believe as you do i would be unable to leave this forest at night…

well of course, but he totally ruined the lightsaber fight

There are still some issues I have to resolve at these forums. So I’ll try to stay here on a limited basis until thinks cool over.
