It's time we rat out our neighbors, family & friends - New England Patriots Forums

With all the news about extremist groups from the right and the left building in America, I would hope all of us would report anything we know about such groups to law enforcement. We should ask all our friends and family to keep their eyes and ears open and also report anything they might know as well.

The only way this nation can survive is if it stays in the middle of mainstream Americans. Extremists are cowards.

No, it's 100% sincere. Why would you think it sarcasm Wildo?

We should ALL have zero tolerance for extremism in this country. Do you agree?

No I don't agree. If someone is going to commit a violent act then by all means, notify the authorities. But I believe in free speech, even speech I despise. Who are you to determine what is and what is not "extreme?" What exactly is the "middle of mainstream" America and why must we "keep" it there in order to survive? In other places America is considered far right or far left depending on their "middle," so I don't see any inherent value in what is considered the "middle" of this country nor do I think we need to suppress those that want to shift it by reporting them to an authority figure.

I'm with Wildo on this. I thought you were kidding at first, and I'm kinda wowed that you're being serious PR. Rat on our neighbors? It's late, but isn't that how it was in Germany, or Russia or something?

Holy *****,
Wildo, I agree with you, we are free thats why the Dictators of the world hate us, that's why people try to sneak in but nobody ever trys to sneak out, Hitler wanted neighbor to spy on neighbor, Stool Pigeons are the lowest life form on the planet (next to politicians).

GOD BLESS WILDO

Wildo, America and our system of government MUST represent the majority. Therefore, it has to stay in the middle of mainstream Americans. That's just common sense. Now, if the majority moves right or left, then it will be time for a change.

The groups we should rat out are MILITANT groups who believe in violence. I should have stated that from the start and I'm sure you agree with that. How could anyone NOT agree?

I though I've heard some pretty stupid arsed crap around here, but this takes the cake.......I'm not looking out for anything, but if I see my next door neighbor heading out with a vest made of dynamite, I'll go get my black powder gun, load it with a hollow-point round, and he will cease to exist

How can ratting out anti-Americans who plan acts of violence be stupid arsed crap? If anyone ever asked me to join some group that plays army in the woods with real guns, I'd report them immediately. What's the big deal?
