The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

No one moves the goal posts more than you do.

Accusation without evidence. See how easy this is?

I refer to them as free speech in action.

Loud noises at all hours. Sounds like freedom!

I worked at a Planned Parenthood affiliate for over 10 years. Almost every day of that 10 years (dude, get a job!) there were a handful of protesters holding signs, yelling at staff (often with a megaphone), abusing clients, and disturbing a lot of people who lived in apartments around us. Heck, one year we had some bat shit crazies from Texas who traveled north to surround our affiliate for 2 weeks (family vacation, I assume). Man, they were obnoxious and loud. But as Americans, it was their right to protest peacefully (even loudly).

You worked at PP. Now I understand you better. And I bet you never had this happen:

X (Twitter): Post, by @KatieDaviscourt

Breaking — Independent photojournalist Chelly Bouferrache (
@hunnybadgermom
) was brutally assaulted by a black bloc Antifa militant outside the ICE facility in Portland.

She was mobbed by an unruly crowd of protesters, resulting in Bouferrache deploying mace in self-defense.

The Antifa suspect then tackled her to ground and punched her repeatedly.

More faked video for this board to ignore!
