This is Professor Bill Ayers from the University of Illinois at Chicago. He admits to bombing several American Installations back in the 1960's and 1970's.

Considering this, should he be allowed to hold a teaching certificate? Should he be allowed to have any Government Job?

Should he be prosecuted for his Actions?

Why shouldn't he be allowed to be a teacher?
And, freedom of speech. For. The. Win.

Didn't you ever watch The American President?

If he was convicted of Bombing American Installations, he wouldn't have the freedom to teach or speech.

You didn't answer the question about his past.

For. The. Win.

There was no question about his past. Senility is not a good trait to put forth, Harry.

That being said, if he's admitted to it, and no one's charged him... I'm pretty sure your view doesn't fuckin' matter. Call me crazy, but... y'know.

You missed the point of my post. Considering his Past, should he be allowed to Teach?

It's in the Poll, and I said, "considering this" referring to the poll.

You are just an idiot who can't read.

Hah. Wow. You've got such amazing judgement.
You're right, Harry. I'm a fuckin' retard. You got me.

My point still stands. Way to not cover that.

You're annoying as all shit. Do you not read half the shit people write? Your responses are always nothing short of fucking idiotic. I'm glad I don't know you IRL, I'd be exhausted from bitching you out all the time.

I know for a fact that a ton of my teachers smoked a ton of pot in the 60's/70's. Some of them are amazing teachers.

Because a guy made a few mistakes thirty years ago doesn't mean he should have to stripped of any ability to have an actual job.

Is this even a topic worth discussing?

Bringing up petty issues that you ran across while browsing various websites for debate is nothing smart, neither is your calling someone an idiot and implying that you're making a valuable point that others don't get.

Also the title of this thread is fucking ridiculous.
Obama and him are acquaintances, they aren't fucking best friends. I find it funny that Americans make such a big deal about this...yet the Bush family is great friends with the Bin Laden family. This country is so assbackwards it kills me.

MISTAKES? as with the other post about a guy who robbed a clerk at gunpoint, planting a BOMB is NO MISTAKE!

I only skimmed that article...but I'm pretty sure people smoking pot has next to no relevance to this topic. CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG.

That pic of him stepping on the US Flag might be an indicator that he still hates the United States. In his case, I don't think he has changed. His wife and him said they would do the same thing if they had to.

It can be. Ever hear of regrets? People have 'em. Everyone in the 60's wanted to make a difference somehow and lots protested and caused some sort of violence some way or another. It sounds like a great idea when you think of it, but when a plan is executed, sometimes the visual image of something makes someone think "Shit, this was a bad idea."

You're just too dimwitted to realize people are human.

If they have to prove a point? It kinda makes sense. A lot of things only take hold post-revolution. It's not necessarily that they hate America. Simply the direction things are going in.

It's ironic that I'm paraphrasing a representation of George Bush with the following, but...still: You don't have to love your government; just love your country. Or, something like that. I need to watch Harold and Kumar 2, again.

He and his wife*, for the record. Do we need to go over grammar, again?
