This is seriously troubling

This is why I don't venture into these threads often, because it raises my blood pressure to actually interact with someone as dangerously ignorant and out-of-touch as Rupert. But I'm glad you like the police in America looking like Mubarak's army in Egypt in that video. It should tell everyone never to take any of your libertarian "get big gubmint out of my life" bullshit seriously ever again. Because the militarization of the police is the biggest government overreach there could be and while it was happening you stood there waving your pom pom's for it.

What planet do you live on and what are you smoking? If I lived out on some farm in South Dakota then I could be accused of being out of touch. I live in a big city and I go out into the city every day. How would you know any more about what's going on in America than me? In addition, I am highly educated. I have a BA in Political Science from UCLA and I have a MA in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine. What are your credentials, aside from having a PhD in Narcissism?

You are one of these typical liberals who thinks he knows more than anybody. It is so funny listening to guys like you who think that anyone who has a different opinion from yours is "ignorant".

By the way, I never claimed to be a libertarian but I do have libertarian views on some issues. With regard to the police, they are a "necessary evil" in a civilized society. And unfortunately we need more of them, not less. I hope we get to the point where there is so little crime that we need less of them. When that time comes, I will be the first person to demand that police departments stop hiring. But I highly doubt that will ever happen.

I have to question what country you live in if you think the big problem is the police, rather than the criminals. Anyone listening to you would think you live in Iraq under Saddam Hussein.

With regard to Mubarak's army in Egypt, who would you rather have in power in Egypt, Mubarak or the Muslim Brotherhood? I would take Mubarak every day of the week.

Your arguments are so childish saying that I wait for Fox News to tell me what the problem is. First of all, it isn't true that I make my opinions based on any specific news source. I use 30 different news sources and still always form my own conclusions. Second of all, I could make the same accusation to you. I could say that you wait for MSNBC to tell you that the police are to blame for all the problems. Does that sound like an intelligent comment? No. So why do you constantly make comments like this? Anyone who has the opposite viewpoint of you is "ignorant" and gets all their info from Fox News. You won't be winning any debate contests any time soon. In a debate you should always focus on the facts. But if the facts don't support your case, you can always tell people how much smarter and how much more well informed you are than they are. That wins a lot of points.
