The US military attacking American citizens will never happen. AGAIN ??? When I was in the army I would have steadfastly refused ANY order to engage American citizens. We all pledged to defend the country against all enemies foreign and domestic. Our fellow Americans are not and never will be the enemy. Law enforcement needs to take care of that problem, if it ever becomes one.
.....no cents of history
Define the US Military first? National guard, which DO get deployed, are THEY part of the US Military?
We can start with Kent State.
Or, rather, to further point out your lack of reading or knowledge of US history
Did Patton/McCarthur ever attack US citizens on US soil? (HINT: Bonus Army, early 1930's )
Did a WW1 "flying ace" drop bombs on US citizens, flying over US soil? (Hint: Battle of Blair Mountain )
A bomb was also dropped in Philadelphia on United States citizens.
oh well, he'll just go play with mdlaxfan, as always, and ignore the facts of the world.

I was going to reply to MD's post where he said that If you've had a problem with the moderator yourself, I suggest you examine why. I've never 'had a problem with the moderator', nor have I once emailed or pm'ed whoever the moderator is to complain. I don't know who that person is nor would I think in a billion years to complain...but I do notice the crowd that does, brave/courageous souls that they are.
Here's the real deal: who does run to a mod is a tell on what they're really about. And we all know who does it. And yes, it's strictly a Democratic move...they have this pansy reflexive allergy to opposing thought. The way they demonstrate their 'free speech ethos' is seeking to silence other thought.
That's MD's new crew. The fact he can't admit that bare fact (that the left hates free speech...they do) is pathetic. I simply expect it from Democratic Party members...he says he's not, but his defense of them suggests otherwise.

Re: Yet another racist thread title?
You make a very good point. Now explain to me the subjective nature in trying to define what an offensive opinion is. Moderate Republicans give me hay fever just by their Charley Brown wishy washy nature in most all of their opinions. I may call you a blockhead and you may call me by a derogatory term of your preference. I just hope you never whine to the mods because you disagree with what I say. My entire point was to take your beef to which ever posted the comments that offended you. Only a true blue candy ass goes crying to the mods because their feelings were bruised.MDlaxfan76 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 24, 2020 9:30 amAll Opinions Mattercradleandshoot wrote: ↑Wed Jun 24, 2020 9:20 amYou are correct, and I believe you also are critical of people here whose opinions offend you.

Can't wait for his tolerance to trickle down. Bet my constitutional rights will be protected fervently.
BTW, you have zero Constitutional rights in this or any other forum. Government isn't involved.
Including mine.
Of course I vehemently, though I hope usually respectfully (I'm not perfect), disagree with other posters.
On "banned", I disagreed with the post calling for a poster to be banned, simply because his posts are so often mere partisan trolling. I find much of it offensive, but rarely crossing the lines of the agreed upon behaviors for this part of the forum.
I do think that it is appropriate for this forum to have standards different from Hamsterdam, where it's no holds barred. So, when there's blatant racism, it's a serious question as to whether that's truly ok in this part of the forum rather than Hamsterdam threads.
Or do we say, it's merely offensive 'opinions'?

Re: Yet another racist thread title?
The question is, what is within the guidelines of the forum. So people submit issues to the admin. Like a player to a ref. And Admin either issues a warning or throws a flag or... does nothing and just keeps reffing the game. It's through the reporting of posts that we discover the guidelines of the forum. And, while this forum is pretty relaxed in terms of allowing people to have a voice, there are limits. As Cradle said, that includes personal attacks. Along the same lines, comments that people could easily take personally. e.g. Racist, sexist, homophobic, etc. comments. In some of these political threads, post-ers seem to tip-toe this line. A line that shouldn't even be crossed within Hamsterdam.cradleandshoot wrote: ↑Wed Jun 24, 2020 10:43 amWe should all disagree with the content of what people post when we feel strongly about another person's point of view.

I would not believe that unless I was told by the Admin; I don't know one Republican or conservative or even true moderate (not the self-proclaimed 'moderates' who seem to only support Democratic policies...) that would turn to a mod to suppress a post from the other side.
That said, it's the % that matters; if you told me that 95% of whining to mods comes from Dems, in no universe would that be even the tiniest surprise to anyone here. I only read Dems whining about posts when the posts aren't even personal-insult driven but just general thoughts. The Left hates free speech; once you grasp that, all else makes sense.

We have deviated far afield from my original point. I was commenting on Doc B wanting to have the mods delete or repudiate comments he disagreed with. That is where I was going. If I were to opine to the mods about every post I disagreed with that would be pretty freaking stupid on my part. If I think MD is off point on a particular topic, I will bring it up with him.

The Left hates free speech; once you grasp that, all else makes sense.
Nobody hates or censors free speech more than does the right wing. Too bad you weren't around during the old LP days or you would have seen it first hand in that forum. Come to think of it, with that @#$#@ admin we had you would likely have been the first one appointed as mod and joined in with the McCarthyites in their forum reign of terror against the truth.
It has been proven a hundred times that the surest way to the heart of any man, black or white, honest or dishonest, is through justice and fairness.

Re: Race in America - Riots Explode in Minneapolis
I did not title the thread. I have no issue with the back and forth from everyone on this forum. If someone on this forum says something you disagree with, bring it up with that person. When folks want to go cry to the mods to assuage their hurt feelings... GMAFB.
We don't make mistakes, we have happy accidents.
