No. It would be classless to say I hope they try, and get the shit kicked out of them.

For inciting violence. Don't know weather that's a banable offense, but I'll leave it up to the mods to decide.

If my political beliefs that removal of government and replacement with anarchy offend i suggest you stay off the internet.
I do prefer it be done without violence but if violence happens I will of course use ti to further my agenda.



Inciting violence against anyone is against NS rules, no matter your political views.

It has nothing to do with being offended. There are a great many things that offend me which I would never go to a moderator about. Inciting violence is another matter. In any case, I'll leave it up to the mods. Whatever their decision, I'll gladly abide by.

I do prefer it be done without violence but if violence happens I will of course use ti to further my agenda.


Like I said, no moral compass.

Besides, it didn't sound like you'd prefer non-violence. It sounded like you were cheering on violence, saying it would be a good thing, and hoping it happened.
"Our progress in degeneracy appears to me to be pretty rapid. As a nation, we began by declaring that "all men are created equal." We now practically read it "all men are created equal, except negroes" When the Know-Nothings get control, it will read "all men are created equal, except negroes, and foreigners, and Catholics." When it comes to this I should prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretence of loving liberty -- to Russia, for instance, where despotism can be taken pure, and without the base alloy of hypocracy." - President Abraham Lincoln.

"...I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." -MLK Jr.

Despite the fact that the bill had numerous ideas proposed by republicans in it. All it shows is that the republicans never were going to vote for the bill, regardless of content.

It's better than nothing I suppose, and can lead to better, more comprehensive reform down the road.
