    It is impossible to get good debate when the left wing of this site can't form anything more then trolling comments, which now turns out to, can get your whole thread shut down when the thread itself was never Flamebait to begin with.

    Amazing, just amazing.

    That's on this website. I am no longer very active here, for the reasons I have described.

    Don't personalize our exchange. Insults accomplish absolutely nothing.

    Your people have been servants of the English for centuries. Their hands are unclean.

    Your people visited Ireland as part of the Cold Stream Guards, or the Black and Tan.

    As I percieve it, the American right-wing is drugged-up to the eyeballs and wants to spend all its time spouting about its crazy visions of someone called 'Obama', a vision with little to do with your right-wing President, expressing (negatively) all their forbidden yearnings for freedom and equality in a way that is not offensive to their rich masters. What sort of debate one can have with these junkies I leave any sensible person to judge: they are so used to ranting, bullying and dominating that they regard any contradiction as 'trolling' (it is 'trolling' to suggest murderers might be better respected if they did not urinate on their victims, for instance). I do very much hope the US recovers. It used to be an admirable country until this flood of filth covered it.

    Britain has never been an admirable country. It has always been a blight upon the earth. Imperialism is the British way. Too bad they don't kill themselves out of remorse for their sins.

    Glad at least 1 mod admits there aren't enough mods for this site. Why don't you create more mod positions?

    Yeah, good luck with that.

    I've been around the block and almost all forums are way worse than this. Either they are heavily biased in favor of one ideology or another, or they are graveyards with no participants at all.

    Hello - it is one of the Seven dwarves, ranting! It works best when it knows nothing of the person it is addressing or the history its drunken forebears misinformed it about. Hey ho, hey ho!

    a big part of the problem is information from "news sources" is questionable at best. Blogs are considered to be reliable resources when they are far from it. Actual media outlets no longer ask and tell who, what, where and when but instead opine as to "why"

    The reason your "flamebait" thread was deleted was because you called TFM, a "useless piece of dog crap". You caused your own thread to be shut down, no one else did it.

    All you say is exactly what's going through my mind right now as i'm watching the ignorance of some of the users on here..All you claim is just the truth and this feedback has to be well-checked in order to get the surfing experience better......the basic way of starting an effective conversation and debate is friendliness and care about each other's views.

    No, 1 comment to a troll 7 pages into a thread does not make the entire thread Flamebait. If that were the case then every single thread where a mod has deleted a single post due to Flamebait or trolling would be shut down.

    See this very thread for confirmation of what I just said.

    I see you have only one eye...

    Nobody targets US, Al. People are just speaking the truth.

    Or full of Mods who are kids/schizos/authoritarians... The Mods here are by far the best I've seen on any forum. I don't know if anyone read the updates to the Forum Rules, but issues are already being tackled.

    Albert, it's just too much fun playing you... I mean, you do understand that this is what's happening from your colonial British Masters, right? I thought we all understood this!?!

    You can't be expecting Floyd R. Turbo to know what he is doing. That's what makes Republicans so cuddly and lovable.

    I'm not a Republican. They collaborate with leftists. If the Boy King wins reelection lots of Republicans will move away from the two party system.
