good for you

 

This is what the cons on here would like you to believe. I can only speak for myself, but the recent supreme court decisions on same sex marriage and Obamacare show a decidedly liberal trend. The younger generation of voters is more liberal in spirit and with their votes than ever before. The right is shackled to religious crazies, and will continue to lose out on all aspects of social policy.

As far as the number of right wing posters/content on here, don't confuse this tiny cross section of posters with the general populace. The majority of the right wing threads are not substantive, and therefore not worthy of reply. It's clear that many just make a post to grind an axe versus initiate a debate. When the bottom line of a right wing thread is just more crying about Obama, there's not much you can do to change that point of view. A lot of righties are religious as well, which excludes them from rational, reasonable thinking.

I don't think you need to worry. At all.

 

Sure, just make sure you don't offend anybody staffers sympathize with.

Not from this one, you're not, because I don't identify with that at all. Just give me the latitude to give as good as I get and staff will hardly ever get any complaints from me.

 

True it is a handful of righties that have gotten banned, mostly from the new influx the site got a few months ago, seems like some cannot take a simple warning by the Mods to behave, and I bet they also wonder why the site the came from failed.

No one has silenced the right, in fact the yapping has gotten even more frequent, maybe when the right can stop yapping and start talking real discussions can become more common here again. As if that will be happening.

Me thinks your first statement cancels out your claim in the second.

 

Hey mods/admin,


While I have your attention, will you please take the time to give me one of your brilliant answers as to why or how this thread meets your standards of thread creation:

As I understand the facts, a former CIA operative by the name of Andrew Basagio, claims that Barack Obama was teleported to Mars (as a teen) and while there was almost eaten by a martian plesiosaur. This was under a DARPA project by the name of Pegasus. Basagio himself a time traveler was photograped shortly after Lincoln's Gettysburg address and has evidence he was there..

 

No one votes on SCOTUS decisions and Obamacare was passed before anyone could read it. Those are NOT examples of national political trends.

Ya I see the same thing with left wing posters on here.....not substantive and not really worthy of reply, axe grinding (especially when it comes to Gays, race and feminism). I have seen probably hundreds of left wing threads whining about Bush as well. A lot of lefties are Atheists as well which excludes them from having a truly moral base.

 

PF is dominated by extreme left wing crazies from the US and Britain, plus some guys from Russia who fell off the turnip truck. Reading the posts of leftists reminds me of the bar scene from the movie Star Wars.

 

The fact that we have an axe to grind with the right is the fault of the right. And really, how many threads on the topic of homosexuality are started by right wingers, vs left wingers? Come on, man- be honest. The vast majority of threads on the topic are started specifically to bash gay people, especially in Current Events. You can't possibly be blind to that. So if we get defensive in those threads, you only have yourselves to blame.

 

The way Colonel Sanders treats chickens is the fault of the chickens.

 

Ya it's everyone's fault but yours....Typical lefty thinking.

 

Echo Chamber.

Echo Chamber.

Echo Chamber.

 

So you are denying that the vast majority of threads regarding gays are started by right wingers in this forum, and that they are started specifically to bash gays? Really?

 

Ya lefties do echo their whining a lot. That's how they fabricate unsubstantiated 'truth.' (Example: Hands up don't shoot)

 

I essentially said that lefties like to blame everyone else but themselves. Your reply makes no sense and, you can't prove it anyway. Lose/Lose

 

Oh yes because in order to be a moral person, one needs to believe in bronze age fairy tales.

 

I didn't say that, exactly. What I was getting at, as I've observed elsewhere, is that top-down enforcement of civility is a lot like banning guns and depending on the government to protect you.

But since you ask...

This thread was locked, supposedly for violating rule 11. Here's my thread about it in Feedback.

who the hell cares

 

The moer militant variety of atheist hovering on message boards desires to eradicate religon. I believe the pathos is much more malignant than simply not believing in God.

I was agnosttic for most of my youth, but I thought it bad from to insult, denigrate, deride and mock another's belief. Apparently manners escapes this new variety of militant atheism.

 

So we start anti-gay threads ourselves? WTF?

If you want proof of what I said, go to the Current Events section.

Amazing, isn't it?

My manners tend to go out the window when people use their religion as an excuse to try to deny people like me our rights. Things would be a lot different if that were not the case.

 

Would you want to copy and paste your OP and let the members decide whether your thread was flame bait?
