The Freeman Movement and England

[magellan]

... so when you mentioned the bill of rights, you didnt mean The Bill of Rights but some bill o' frights?

 

[332nd]

It's either in your soul or it's not. It's also between your two ears.

But don't bother. Just go back to the ball game.

So one just has to believe it and it comes true?

 

[Pikachu]

Perhaps Especially, you could just give the Wikipedia entry on the European Court of Human Rights a quick read through?
(I wouldn't normally recommend Wikipedia but its the quickest way)
Then meditate on the fact that just because an idea appeals to you -doesn't mean it's true!

You are conflating legal theory - the ideals of justice and fairness that underpin the law whether statutory or common in the English system (and in my opinion are one of our greatest gifts to the world) and legal fact.

 

[Nogbad]

Do turkeys vote for Christmas ?

Yes, yes they do - especially if you promise them Christmas presents.

 

[saraban]

I never agreed to being subject to gravity (he said huffily)

Or floatily even.

 

[Elizabeth I]

NOT 'English Common Law' (which underpins the legal system of every state of the USA) but the Common Law.

Actually, Louisiana state law is based on the Code Napoleon.

But, if not, just join the oath-swearing, fraternal takeover squad.

You know, since they seem so far to be the winning side, why wouldn't anybody want to join them?

The Freeloader side is promising $8million per person.

 

[Elizabeth I]

The Freeloader side is promising $8million per person.

Won't do them much good as long as the other side has most of the guns.

 

[jargon buster]

Unfortunatly they are "Human Beings" and not "persons"

[Sledge]

I wonder if the Freeloaders would refuse to contract with bullets?

 

[jargon buster]

Taking a quote from their favourite movie The Matrix when Neo is shot at in the closing sequence he raises his hand and says "No".

I guess the directors cut has the word "contract" on the end.

[Elizabeth I]

I wonder if the Freeloaders would refuse to contract with bullets?

Of course! I'm sure they're all devoted followers of the transcendent philosophy of The Matrix. When somebody shoots at you, just say, "No," and the bullets will stop before they reach you.

 

[Sledge]

I wish the Matrix would stop turning up in these threads.

 

[jsfisher]

Has there been any evidence supporting Especially's claims? I don't want to miss any evidence.

 

[Mojo]

Unfortunatly they are "Human Beings" and not "persons"

No, we've established that they are "persons":

The FOTLers are clearly "persons" as defined by section 4 of the Vagrancy Act 1824 and the case of Evans v Ewels [1972] 1 WLR 671.

 

[ComsatAngel2017]

Which land is that?

I think the words "La" and "La" feature quite prominently in the name of this land. There's probably a few cuckoos and clouds in there, too.

 

[Ladewig]

I never agreed to being subject to gravity (he said huffily)

I never agreed to being subject to gravity he said with levity.

 

[Cuddles]

Thank you for granting me the right to leave

You're welcome.

 

[jsfisher]

Not only has the right to leave been granted, it has been "encouraged" in a somewhat forceful way.


Buh-bye, Especially.

 

[LightinDarkness]

Well now, this is a bit of a dilemma for the FOTLers - how can Especially be forced to leave without consent? I do believe we need a court trial on this! Just make sure none of the flags have a gold fringe (these tricky mods might try to take us into admiralty jurisdiction!).
