• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

So your dumb ass is OK with an American citizen being locked up abroad for speech?... In what people are claiming is a free democracy? LOL. You are too stupid to insult.
Of course I’m ok with it. That’s a country facing genocide and under martial law. People there have no right to free speech let alone speech that is detrimental to the war effort.

The same limits would apply here if we were under martial law and facing a conflict in the homeland.


Writing for a unanimous U.S. Supreme Court, Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes declared in Schenck v. United States (1919) that “[w]hen a nation is at war, many things that might be said in times of peace are such a hindrance to its effort that their utterance will not be endured so long as men fight, and that no Court could regard them as protected by any constitutional right.”



In other words, the Supreme Court declared that the government could restrict speech more in times of war than in times of peace.
