I'm as liberal as it gets but I don't think this falls (or should fall) under first amendment protections. Would it be ok for her to have a burning cross in her front yard as well?

I'm currently racking my brain thinking about some of the negative implications of barring this woman from posting signs on her property.

Grow your own food. A 20' x 30' garden can supply enough fruits and vegetables to feed several people throughout most the year. If you're like most people you have a large enough space right in your front yard. Dunno bout you but I find that tomatoes taste better than grass..

Also, chickens are only $5...and then you get an egg every day.

This just isn't fair! I have tried growing pines from seeds, and even just seedlings in my yard, and they just die! Do I have to start planting lungs on my front yard to have a growing fir tree!?? And if not just any kind of lungs?? No wonder my trees keep dying.. NOT fair!

This also can turn deadly here in Pennsylvania. Not 5 miles from my house there was an old man who had a junky front yard. Old cars, washing machines, farm equipment etc. He really liked the stuff and was a bit off. Well the busy-bodies came down on him hard and eventually the county got involved and passed a law specifically for him. When he resisted, the county sent bulldozers and trucks over. He first chained himself to some of the junk, and when that didn't work he went inside his house and shot himself to death.

There's a house here in Los Angeles with a similar story.

The owner placed a statue in their front yard, and the neighbors went ape-shit. Signing petitions, threatening the owner, taking him to court etc.

So he did what any sane person would do, and turned his house into the tackiest thing in the city. He added an additional 18 of the same statues to his yard, fenced it with the tackiest shit around, and painted three of his cars in gradating rainbow colors.

At XMas time, he colors some of the statues black, and dresses them as negro-Santa Claus.

Yes, the few Canadians you know represent all Canadians. All 2,000 of them right?

>> ^Rotty:
Although Carlson was incorrect and rude in calling all Canadians retarded, he's hit on a valid point about being resentful. My observation go way before Carlson...he was probably wearing a bow tie and knickers in high school during my early encounters. I must say that Canadians are not shy about their attitudes. They'll sit down with you at dinner and bemoan the great American opulence, stupidity and wastefulness. They'll reside (in the US) next door to you and plant a Canadian flag in their front yard. They'll recite all the musical, comedic and media persons from Canada now in the US (Rush!!!, Peter Jennings...yada...yada...yada).
Carlson is right, many Americans really don't care. I don't spend my time worrying about Canada and keeping count on who does what and where. Look, you can have hockey back...it's not our fault that the bulk of teams are American. And yes, the Aneheim (Mighty) Ducks did win the Stanley Cup in 2007 - making Henri Richard turn in his grave, I'm sure. The only time I really consider Canada is when I start hearing the complaints. And then it's "On ,yeah...the Canadian thing...".

The bigger my belly gets, the harder it is to maintain. I can't see what I'm doing and slash willynilly at my yard.

Hey. I don't have a bush. I'm not really into yardwork.

Heh, I can just imagine the scenario, where we are in each other front yard ducking under our respective bushes.

This bring back memories. We don't get much snow and ice where I live, but about every 4 years we do get an ice/snow storm. One time the power was out, there was nothing to do, and a friend of mine lives by this hill in a neighborhood that's a popular shortcut, so we all went over to his house, played in the snow in the front yard and had a laugh at all the cars coming through trying to get up the hill.

Dan Barker is an idiot though. Stop being fucking offended by Christmas. Yea, we all fucking know it comes from winter solstice. How you celebrate it is up to you. If you don't want to put a nativity scene in your front yard then don't. Stop showing your stupid face on Fox news and saying that it "offends" you and that it shouldn't be tolerated. You are the one giving atheists a bad name.

Wonder if this is the neighbour of this lady...

ps. NO EMBEDDED VOLUME CONTROL! IT STARTS OUT FULL VOLUME! Not Entirely Safe For Work due to that.

This guy acted like a total douchebag, failed horribly at representing himself, mocked a judge in court and refused to sit stating it was under duress. He thought he was going to go into court and act like a total badass and it backfired horribly.
All this over a dirty, fucking couch he left in his front yard.


Wasn't just a dirty old couch it was a decoration. Personally I think he did a good job, they called his name.

When they call your name you are supposed to stand, otherwise you are called the Plaintiff, or defense. He did not mock the judge, He was brought back to court after the Judge entered a Non Guilty Plea without his consent. So This court is a mockery of itself.
