You should be able to talk on any thread.

Sometimes you get redlined.

That's not good.

i have never been redlined.

This is a thread that discusses political science frequently. You can't make that dispassionate. Perhaps this is not the place for me because I do not see an objective moderator. Sorry, dino. I believe you place your thumb on the scale and you might not even be aware of it. Take care, everyone.

it isnt my fault that a lot of trump supporters are the ones breaking the rules...that does not make me non - objective....i keep out 3 trump resistance guys also and that is an objective fact.

I have no doubt, dino. Non-objective does not mean political bias. I believe you are trying to stay fair to both sides while clearly expressing your own opinion.

Non-objective refers to personal bias towards certain users...probably based on past behavior that I am not aware of. There was nothing wrong with cccp's retort to wylie's post a page or so ago. Your reaction to his post showed a personal bias that was out of proportion to what was actually said.

Anyway, you guys survived for 480+ pages without my presence. I have no doubt you all will continue to thrive after I'm gone.

you dont know cccp....he was trying to get back into the bickering and he succeeded...be comfortable with who you feel comfortable with...i dont like pot stirrers...actually it is 2 threads equaling 1000 pages.......i have a personal bias against those that want to change my thread into something else....that is as succinct as i can get..

No doubt. I don't know cccp at all. I do know that I was close to posting the same exact comment (almost word for word) before cccp did. I don't believe I am a pot stirrer. I will defend a position but rarely post something intentionally inflammatory, unless truth or sarcasm is interpreted as inflammatory. If that is pot stirring, best I leave now before I accidently step on a landmine. You have a good thing here and a lot of time invested in it. I don't wish to rock the boat.

The Hues Corporation Rock The Boat

LOL - wylie and I do this all the time. Not insulting at all.

Your posts are super insulting btw.

You haven't had many experiences with him, god bless. He is a troll. He personally attacks everyone who disagrees with him, is close-minded, and when he loses an argument immediately falls to ad hominem. I am close to blocking him.

Not a troll.

Tom Tomorrow ain't pulling his punches!

That third panel...there do seem to be a lot of instances lately of red hats calling the cops when they see a black person.

wow...so timely for this thread.....spot on.

having great institutions will not save a country if the citizens do not cherish them and protect them . hate precedes the disintegration of the institutions that protect us and provide the ideals that we should strive for.
hate blinds.

if president moon goes for peaceful coexistence with n. korea and allows for a nuke freeze and a long term plan for de-nuking he might get a nobel prize..he would deserve it.
if there is an agreement trump will jump up and down and take credit for it and say it was his idea all along it...then he will get a binkie.

Moon would surely deserve the Nobel if he could get any positive outcome whatsoever from the Fat Man and Little Boy nuke talks. I'm not holding my breath, though.

I wish I could say I was shocked in the difference between the two.
