Holy wow, JB!

Your understanding of every dimension of this issue is beyond comparison.

Glad that you aren’t one of those occupy Seattle nutters, then.

I for one believe every politically questionable or offensive film should be shown. Forgetting the past, repeats the future. An educated public is the best defense.

Uncle Tim’s Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe should be read in schools, with the runaway slaves jumping on ice floes to escape their pursuers and all.

What? I can't find that anywhere in his posts.

Have you ever wondered why such a small Belgium is so rich? Former colonial empires should pay ... pay ... for long time... and over the next decades (centuries?) compensation to their colonies. Fortunately, the Euro-Atlantic order is already over. I will never come back.

bit off topic, but i for one would love to **** a bird who speaks like that one at 17.30.

I have to agree with those who say we seem to be having an issue with some recent members who come on here with the main intent of just irritating others with far-Right posts, and may or may not be interested in Cambodia, and we are making efforts to get rid of these individuals. As I've said before, we really don't care what your political stance on things are, and have 'no dog in this fight' other than keep CEO a fun place to speak your mind where all are welcome. But when some come on here to spew a bunch of shit just to ruffle feathers, it's doing the overall community no favors to let them stay. And there's been a lot of good debate from people with all sorts of opinions, but it's up to us to decide who's just here to stir up shit, and we try to be as fair as possible. I've even said very positive things about Trump's administration for the US on here, so it's not even like I'm out to stop anyone who is anywhere Right of center, but I think it's fair to say that if even I'm annoyed by some of the crap a few individuals post, it's probably annoying as shit for many, many others.

Foreigner, you've been banned more than once in the past for some of your garbage, and I think it's clear that you're more interested in pissing people off than discussing anything of substance. So goodbye. And no, it's not just because of this single post I quoted.

I like seeing both sides of things. This whole Gone with the Wind thing is pretty interesting. Do I personally think it should be banned? No. Do I want to hear from people who think it should? Absolutely. As with almost anything, I think you can make valid points from numerous positions, and many topics of discussion can never be 100% decided on by all.

One of the random and many things I've changed my mind over is capital punishment. Believe it or not, it was over a fine bottle of wine with none other than Scobienz. (By 'fine wine' I mean a $10 bottle on some Italian restaurant on Street 172, lol.) I was all for capital punishment. If some shithead murders another citizen or two, fuck em, death penalty. But he brought up some good points, the main one that stuck with me is the government having the power to decide to kill a citizen. Yeah, maybe it's not a great idea to give any government the authority to decide to kill someone or not. Where do you draw the line? I don't know, but it was a civil discussion, and I was glad we had it, and even left with a new opinion on something I thought I had already decided on. Oops, I digress..

And as always, thanks to those who take the time to use the report feature and leave a note telling us exactly why a post should probably be waxed. I know we don't always correct things exactly as you would, or we wait a bit longer than you would have decided, but we also try very hard to make sure people can express things without getting banned over a single post that may be worded poorly, etc. It's always about finding balance, and we will continue to do our best to be fair about modding actions here.

George Washington owned a 124 slaves yet Abraham Lincoln owned none. Why should others pay for other peoples mistakes?

Is there still room for debate?

Betteridge's Law of Headlines says no

Part II is happening right now.
