I don't understand what you mean by "Obama's fault" and "Republicans response". Maybe you could explain it to us non Americans here instead of just assuming we should already know.


He's just making a dumbass remark.  

Democrats say Republicans have the blame obama syndrome... Just like Republicans said democrats had bush derangement syndrome.

Actually no. Because the mentality of Americans is so different from the rest of the world I find American politics confusing. Not just politics though - basically everything America is confusing to me.

Possibly because you seem to think that all Americans have the same mentality..
(And you think the rest of the world all has the same, but different from America, mentality???)
That's a bad starting point if you're trying to understand anything...

I actually think that's a good idea. While i am happy to continue this interesting thread it should really go to the coffee house.

But, but... stereotypes often turn out to be TRUE (based on Kesa's observations, even though they're generalizations of billions of people). Are you sure you're not just trying to be "politically correct" (whatever that means) just to spite Kesa?

This thread presents a compelling reason to sell this site to the Spanish Lesbians.

Meh, it's just the good ol' .org - political debates used to be quite frequent around here ten years ago. No reason to start whining about them now. :)

Just want to say thanks to everybody for their show of support here. Well, before it turned into a gun-control debate, anyway. You guys are the best :)

Quote from: Linde;749975
What exactly did you ban him for?
The heinous act that was apparently the tipping point was that after J-Golden made his "no more Mr. Nice Guy" speech, I sent him a politely-worded PM clarifying my stance (re: threads showing up in New Posts not being the same as having to go looking for them because New Posts is core forum functionality) and assuring that I had said my piece in the thread at issue and wasn't "not letting up" as he thought.

So I guess the moral of the story is, whatever you do, don't clarify misunderstandings, don't try to de-escalate conflict/make peace, don't be polite, and don't be private where it's appropriate. Apparently you get banned for that sort of thing. And made an example of in your very own dedicated thread.

Kesa got bored with the original topic and switched it to gun control! :argue:

Oh. I figured the moral of the story would be something like, "Don't be a jackass and get banned for starting off topic crap/troll threads in sub forums." Thanks for clarifying.
