Reading that now. All too likely. Add in technological advances in bioengineering etc. applied in a polarised fashion dependent on social strata and y...

:lol: Fuck, the UK is already "narrowed". Ireland is still green. Hang in their lads!

(And before someone starts shouting that we're overreacting, you're not there yet, but authoritarianism and the continued erosion of constitutional ri...

Trump's clear model for the US is Putin's Russia. Only with more Walmarts. But the left is "authoritarian" and against "freedom". Anyway, yes, it pose...

Yep, just that there's absolutely no corner of ambiguity for them to hide in now. Video of police flash bombing, tear-gassing, and beating peaceful pr...

On the positive side, it's useful evidence to demonstrate that the American right and their representatives don't essentially care about the constitut...

Anyone who continuously posts low quality like @"Chester" will be banned. Take him as a brilliant example of what not to do on the site. If you still ...

Of course, it goes without saying that not only do we consider the guidelines, we consult each other in most cases. Even with @"Chester", I made a sug...

Honestly, @"Chester" didn't need baiting. He was politically, ethnically, and personally insulting anyone who disagreed with him from day one. And all...

Not sure about logic, but the secret to getting us to do what you want is just to complain about us publically. We hate that and will probably give in...

It's fair enough to complain. We mods get blind to our faults sometimes and can end up acting unfairly and intemperately. It's good to remind us when ...

Apart from the Irish jokes, which had me in stitches. Ok, no...

His posts were garbage and he was a fool.

Yes, absolutely, those need to go. :clap:

I'm guessing we can close this now as the main issue seems to have been resolved.

Thank you, frank. :up:

As I said, frank, I realize now you were genuinely concerned about my well-being in asking me if I was drunk as you were the time when you said you th...

:lol: It all makes sense now.

I think we just don't understand each other tbh. That's all there is to it.

And I'm sure frank's PMs to me claiming he was concerned I was drunk were not an attempt to annoy me so he could claim he was being harassed. I need t...

I'm sorry I was mean to frank everyone. When he said he was calling Hanover for help with a sad face emoji, it sounded like a joke and I responded wit...

The systemic oppression is so heavy here we haven't yet banned @"NOS4A2" and @"Chester". We may have to up our game.

As above:

No, I didn't say you're due to be banned nor did I suggest that you're generally badly behaved. Yesterday, you called a post bullshit and then when as...

What you'll find in the political discussions is many emotive posts interspersed with some decent ones. That's just the nature of politics. Emotionall...

Hm.

It's not baiting. There is some good stuff on here and your post was a low-quality complaint about low quality (a sweeping generalization). I don't do...

Thanks for introducing him to me. :up: Having said that, there is still some pretty good analysis to be found here considering what an emotive topic t...

Trump stooges attacking "the enemy of the people" again. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gprIBmd_9go

No worries. The whole thing is horrible. That can't be said enough.

Oh, I know, concerning the situation, I was just referring to the statement.

"White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany on Monday pressed the notion that the far-left “antifa” movement is largely behind the violence that has...

Yes, the "returning fire" excuse doesn't hold much water if they decided to shoot randomly at protesters, which is what I suspect happened as they wou...

Your high-level English reasoning has this poor Paddy confused. What I would do if I had a gun in my own house determines what people in America think...

Show me the evidence you have, the polls and such, that the majority of Americans support the idea that looters should be shot. What you would or woul...

Your argument concerned the "majority". Not "many". Because it aimed to support the idea that Trump will be re-elected. So, do you think the majority ...

To make it clear, @"Hanover". I said this re the specifics of looting etc. And that doesn't yet mean that burning down Target stores is justified or e...

And do you think the majority of people want black people shot for stealing TVs?

Again, try quoting my position. That usually works if done with context and demonstrates a minimum of comprehension.

Nah, you haven't bothered to read my posts and are completely lost.

Yes, you said that several times. Any evidence for it?

Point taken though that's not exactly what I meant. @"StreetlightX" gave a far better answer than that anyway. For the rest, pretty much, you've seen ...

You poor sad little man. It really is all you have, isn't it? Bless your silly little soul. Anyway, the topic is Trump so back to making a clown of yo...

Is that really all you have? No intelligence, no wit, no real humor, just sloppy attempts at ethnic insults that for some reason you think embarrass a...

What you think doesn't matter because, as is evident from your post history, you have nothing remotely intelligent to say. Nothing that couldn't be bu...

:up:

I think it's because the ideological discourse is so skewed. Cops protect scared rich white people from their worst nightmares. In return, scared rich...

Just to reiterate, we reject the framing that this is just a "bad apple" event or, if systemic, one that the authorities are willing and able without ...

This is very salient. In what ethical universe is a call for shooting people for looting—which they began as a result of a situation where a member of...
