It's funny that you accuse me of putting words in your mouth when my mouth can't take much more of what you're stuffing into it. (Easy now boys.)
You've done almost nothing but put words in my mouth, or accuse me of supporting socialists, or ask me if I support Obama killing babies somehow.
You're cute. I like you. Let's snuggle.

I said... Who are you defending... Communists, socialists?
Then everyone accuses me of calling Obama a communist...
It was sarcasm...
You understand sarcasm, right?
"I like you, let's snuggle"
THAT (you're snuggle statement) was a straight up insult. It also was kind of immature (no offense, but it was. you know it)
Sorry that I do not return the favor.
I don't care enough about you to come up with an insult.
A spokesman for the State Dept. later admitted that Daniel Russel, Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs, had a conversation with Sony executives but vaguely denied having any direct influence on the creative direction of The Interview. The spokesman also said that Ambassador King “did not view the movie and did not have any contact directly with Sony.”
But an email dated July 10 from Ambassador King to Bennett (who then forwarded it to Lynton), says otherwise. The email included a link to a story about North Korea lodging a formal protest at the United Nations against the film, including North Korean UN envoy Ja Song Nam’s claim that allowing The Interview to be released constitutes “the most undisguised sponsoring of terrorism as well as a war action.”

If you weren't able to understand that the snuggle comment was sarcasm, and you thought that your comment about Obama being a Socialist Communist was sarcasm, I have a feeling that your grasp of what sarcasm is has a real flaw in it somewhere.
Besides, dude. You aren't arguing the right side of this. Since I like to mix it up a little bit, maybe I can help you stir the pot and come at this from another angle.
How about.. instead of Obama coming out IN FAVOR of free speech, he is actually coming out AGAINST free speech by telling Sony that they are WRONG to do and say what they did.
Who the hell is HE to tell Sony how to act if they aren't violating any laws, right?
OBAMA IS TRYING TO CURB SONY'S FREE SPEECH!

I'm done watching the news and It's really early morning for me, and that means bedtime. If you'll U2U your Janitor question to me I promise I'll answer it as soon as I can. I have a date with some friends later today and I want to be bright-eyed and bushytailed for it. We're going Yukata shopping for christmas! Maybe there will be cake. Mmm, cake.
Anyway, I REALLY DO PROMISE to answer your Janitor question honestly. Send me a U2U. Have a good morning/night/whatever time it is in the US!

I really hope you're wrong, but I can see the signs as well. I hope the American people take a stand on a free and open internet. It wouldn't really affect me much here in Japanland, but I'd feel for my friends and family back home.
Though, if they do tighten internet in the US, that would mean I'd need to change the proxy I use to talk here.

So a sitting president makes a stand for Freedom of Speech, and you deride him for it.
Just making sure we're clear here.
