The Debates (country, Europe, American, members, title)

Wendycal, other countries aren't nervous that Obama is in the lead.

I know in Australia he is by far the favoured candidate, and most European nations are far more liberal than Aus, so I think it's fair to assume he is popular amongst most of America's allies.

What happened here. I understand that you don't agree with what she has to say, you don't agree with what I have to say either. Threatening to ban a member for posting her opinion in an opinion thread? Could you do me a favor and start a list of where members can and can't post? It isn't trolling just because you don't agree. I remember being attacked many times and many posts being edited or deleted to cover them when I posted my political opinions. This forum is dominated by liberals, but that doesn't mean that a conservative isn't entitled to their opinion. Try being a moderator instead of a bully.

And in case you we wondering "Am I real American? Am in one of those true red, white, and blue pockets?" Nancy Pfotenhauer just confirmed what real America is. Ready for it? Real Virginia (Northern Virginia which is full of democrats but everywhere else is real), Northern Wisconsin, The Iron Range of Minnesota, South Central and Southeastern Pennsylvania, St. Louis Suburbs and finale, the rural areas of Missouri. So to everyone else in the country, McCain has this to say: fuck you!

So in case you fake Americans (myself included) want to know about what we aren't. Governor Palin went on! "This is where we find the kindness and the goodness and the courage of everyday Americans. Those who are running our factories and teaching our kids and growing our food and are fighting our wars for us. Those who are protecting us in uniform. Those who are protecting the virtues of freedom." So, if you're not from the Midwest and you signed up to fight in the middle east and died it doesn't count! I bet you feel silly in your grave now.

Where is the unfan with his slippery slope comment?

Not quite a slippery slope. He attacked a real quote based on the grounds of what it means. A perfectly reasonable response no less.

Obama didn't ruin America's economy. Thats not a liberal opinion, hate to break it to you but it's a fact.

I'm just pointing out that rather than being in this thread as a member, you are here as a bully. if she is being stupid, point it out like everyone else. Threatening with a ban because you don't like what she said is abusing the moderator powers given to you by admin.
I think its pretty plain and simple what the general political leanings of this board are when you take a look here:

I'm not saying that I agree with anyone here. I'm just saying that everyone is allowed their opinion.

If you read the thread instead of just coming to her recuse you'll realize everyone pointed out her stupidity several times and she wouldn't shut up and it was ruining all other discussion. She wouldn't even back up her "opinions" no matter how many facts proved she was wrong.

He took a real quote and assumed that it was an insult to every American that did not live in the areas listed.

Sarah Palin says "We believe that the best of America is in the small towns that we get to visit, and in these wonderful little pockets of what I call real America, being here with all of you hard-working, very patriotic, pro-America areas of these great nations", so that means that John McCain says "fuck you" to everyone else.

What is your definition of slippery slope?

sleepy jack · 10-21-2008, 11:09 PM

I hate to break this to you but I wasn't being completely serious. Yes I had a point to make in there but I was conveying that point in a humorous manner.

I did read the thread. You have been a part of it from the beginning. You are coming across as a bully. You have the ability to ban so you threaten to do it. You cannot moderate a debate you are part of. Ask one of your fellow moderators to provide an unbiased opinion so this debate can be fairly moderated.
I never said anyone was right or wrong. I'm not even a part of this debate. You have seen in my posts that I write off anything presented as fact if it isn't backed up with valid references. If I were taking part in this argument I would have pointed out that she was not providing valid references. I'm sure I would have called her stupid just like everyone else. I only want you to understand that you cannot fairly moderate a debate that you are part of. If you try, you come across as nothing more than a bully.
