My favorite thread of FYZ was the quotes thread. We aren't all too proud to listen to some great men from before. Throw your favorites here. If anyone has a copy of the FYZ thread please please please post here. I lost my copy in my last reformat. Here goes. They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary saftey deserve neither liberty nor safety. -Benjamin Franklin "It is the first responsibility of every citizen to question authority." -Benjamin Franklin "it is the duty of the patriot to protect his country from its government." -Thomas Paine "Dissent is the highest form of patriotism" -Thomas Jefferson "All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent." -Thomas Jefferson
Then of course the random bumpersticker ones
Annoyed by immigrants? Tell it to the Indians...
They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety
You cant be pro-war and pro-life
I support our troops. I question our policies
We're all wearing the blue dress now.
Religious Fundamentalism: A threat abroad, a threat at home
zif the fetus you save is gay, will you still fight for it's rights?

"Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative and creation, there is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favor all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and material assistance which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now." --William Hutchinson Murray
"Every era has a currency that buys souls. In some, the currency is pride, in others it is hope, in still others it is a holy cause. There are of course times when hard cash will buy souls, and the remarkable thing is that such times are marked by civilty, tolerance, and smooth working of everyday life." --Eric Hoffer
"People unfit for freedom - who cannot do much with it - are hungry for power. The desire for freedom is an attribute of a 'have' type of self. It says: leave me alone and I shall grow, learn, and realize my capacities. The desire for power is basically an attribute of a 'have not' type of self." --Eric Hoffer
"The savior who wants to turn men into angels is as much a hater of human nature as the totalitarian despot who wants to turn them into puppets." --Eric Hoffer
"In a time of drastic change it is the learners who inherit the future. The learned often find themselves equipped to live in a world that no longer exists." --Eric Hoffer
"Bolt actions speak louder than words." -Gun nut saying
"If you want me to die for your country, you'll die first." -Me
"Ethics is to politics as truth is to lies." -Me
"Anarchism is political atheism." -Anarchist saying
"A man is none the less a slave because he is allowed to choose a new master once in a term of years." -Lysander Sthingyer
"In order to rally people, governments need enemies. They want us to be afraid, to hate, so we will rally behind them." -Thich Nhat Hanh, Vietnamese Buddhist monk
Edit: GET THE f**k RID OF THE WORDFILTERS. Seriously, most immature, stupid "feature" to ever disgrace forum software. I can't even type Lysander S-P-O-O-N-E-R's name without it wordfiltering it.
And who seriously believes wordfilters do any good anyways? Turn that nuts off.
Edit 2: Okay, seriously. I can't even complain about wordfilters without getting wordfiltered. And the wordfilters are set to dumb words like "thingy" and "nuts". Turn that off.
