Where did the meme come from that civil disobedience requires you to sit in jail afterwards?

206. Now you're just getting desperate

Here, allow me to make a three-point summary for you.

1) Despite your cockamemie rhetoric, someone who does what Snowden did is by definition not a coward. A coward would have kept quiet, went along, minded his own business, never said anything, let it slide. On the other hand someone who so brazenly defies one of the most powerful and potentially dangerous alphabet soup agencies of the United States of America, in an effort to expose what he feels is a wrong perpetrated by them, is pretty far from "coward." There's all sorts of other things you could call him, but "coward" is just factually inaccurate.

2) Meanwhile you are sitting on your rump behind a keyboard, bellowing about what a coward he is for not spitting in death's eye. Yes, you're a real hardass, aren't you? You have no patience for people who don't live up to your (completely arbitrarily-applied) standards of bravery. grr, grunt, grr.

3) when called on how absolutely ludicrous your "principled and tough" statement sounds, you snivel and cringe that you're being picked on because you're a woman, and the person pointing out how dumb and goofy your "me tough, me hate coward, grrr!" statmement was is an insensitive ogre who probably drowns puppies (but only the black ones, be sure to get that nonsense in there too)

There's a level of irony there that I'm certain you're not going to ever pick up on. So I'll spell it out for you - It's a hell of a thing that someone proclaiming "I HAVE NO PATIENCE FOR COWARDS!" doesn't even have the guts to stand by their own words when they're criticized, choosing instead to flail at things totally unrelated and pretend they're being attacked because of their ovaries or their bumper stickers.

Frankly I'd be more impressed if you'd just threatened to beat me up or something, at least that would have been staying in theme with your "ME HATE COWARDS GRUNT GRRR!"post
