Steve, "How many times do have to say it."

Once was enough. The issue is that people don't believe you.

About the whole "free speech" thing, in most places people shut up about whatever and get on with life. Here, they just re-hash the SSDD. So we have the guy who hates, not so much religion as people who are religious. We have the guy who hates the idea of gay people getting married and having kids, and we have the guy who hates that guy. We have the guy who thinks not believing in any god is a religion. We have the guy who talks about historical things such as WWI non-stop, and we have the guy who hates him. Then we have the guy from 'so called sanity' who obviously is from somewhere else.

I have no doubt mostly everybody knows exactly who I'm talking about, even if I haven't mentioned one single name. Telling, no?

You look at arguments these people participate in permanently and repetitively, and you notice that it's the same people all the time, and new people don't ever get involved, and those participants not only don't have a clue what they do to the forum, but don't care. They're either stupid or numb. The repetitive nastiness drives me nuts, but not for long because I usually can't be bothered paying attention to it.

I truly wish Max would just declare a moratorium on BS until maybe the new year. (Not sure which one.)

Free speech doesn't exist here. Most of the people who bitch about not having it are trolls. I wish we were arguing about infringement on free speech because of someone's point of view instead of them feeling entitled to attack people they don't like.
