*Insert any US president here*

Also, while we're on the topic of stupid US gov't decisions:

I thought this was just a silly NationStates option, to set up a designated area where people could protest, but this is a legit thing the government can use whenever they want to. This is from the Bundy case, and while I'm not defending Bundy in any way (although I am impressed at how he's managed to not be arrested due to the efforts of militias and his family), the entire idea of First Amendment Areas is absolute garbage.

I'm more inclined to agree with these images:

Note: with regards to the second image, I can't really say that the government is overreaching their authority by throwing people off their land. It's still for a stupid reason though.

You do know that he's lost multiple federal court battles and that another issue is that he's allowing his cattle to graze on public land for which he has been fined multiple times and paid none of them

i'm sure shoey meant no offense to any russian users here

Why would he be offending Russian users?

well he just called Russia a SHITHOLE which I think would offend users who live there

even if it is going through some tough times, there's no need to offend other users who might live there

Russia is a shithole it's a corrupt semi presidency with a rubber stamp legislature where the main opposition is actually funded by Putin in order to make the opposition look stupid and make the country seem more democratic then it really is.

i'm not arguing with you, i have no opinion on russia at the moment, all i'm saying is just watch what you say, because you might offend other users

Then don't use Bundy's case as a way to reinforce your notion that "1st amendment is garbage".

This argument hardly connects and probably misses the context of the process of nuclear bomb testing.

No, Bundy's case is an excellent example precisely because I don't agree with him. That I'm still against a First Amendment Area despite not agreeing with Bundy is evidence that I'm not just biased against First Amendment Areas because I support him.

And where in the world did you get the idea that I believe the 1st Amendment is garbage? I love the 1st Amendment! It's one of the greatest things this country has, and to see it so drastically limited by the idea of "oh you can only protest in this small area" infuriates me. That absolutely goes against the whole idea of free expression if you're limiting where and when people can express themselves.

This argument hardly connects and probably misses the context of the process of nuclear bomb testing.

It's an exaggeration, but it makes the point that kicking people off government land to protect a desert tortoise is silly, especially in light of what the government has in the past used its land for.

Oops, I misread "First Amendment Areas" as "First Amendment". I don't know how I got that there.

It's a bad example, even if it is an exaggeration and I think it oversimplifies the argument. It's like thinking environmental regulations on mining is stupid because government has done underground nuclear bomb tests.

oh okay, good

i was wondering if i would have to go deep into detail about why free speech is so important
