2 x 2 = ? Is it too complicated?

Calum:
to all those who would remove free speech:

ranting about politics is one of the things that makes this forum a good read.

i used to like the free speech emphasis on this site, but i notice you are all loudly saying that politics should not be allowed on this board after more than a year of free speech. this would be pretty bad on its own, but what really astonishes me is that while you say that out of one face, you use your other face to do the one thing you abhor: argue about politics!

if you don't want to talk about politics then do not talk about politics, however if you do, then do, it's THAT simple. If a political discussion comes up on this site and you don't want to talk about politics then DON'T reply to the topic. it's not hard. many of the topics on this site are, in my opinion, full of useless rubbish and not worth my time to read, let alone reply, but i still post on this site and i don't get my knickers in a twist if somebody posts something that i myself am not interested in.

I say again: if you DON'T want to talk about politics, then DON'T, but it REALLY pisses me off when people start telling other people what they can and cannot say. You will notice that this forum (The Lounge) is for any discussion whatsoever. This thread is therefore on topic and i think it is inappropriate to ridicule or insult the original poster or those who reply to this topic or any others like it.

I will not chill. All of the accusations are bull shit. Saddam needs to comply regardless of who is in office. We just happen to have someone in now with some balls and can make it happen. If people can't handle that, fuck 'em.

i am sorry, but i laughed out loud when you said bush had balls. he doesn't even have brain cells or a vocabulary, let alone balls. luckily though he is too stupid to try and make himself look benign. Clinton would not have been able to handle this situation in the same way bush is, but it's not because clinton has no balls, it's because clinton would have wriggled around trying to get out of his responsibility and making his own life easier, whereas bush just lets those around him pull his strings and says rough approximations of what he is supposed to say, and all around him the real movers and shakers gear up for war, maybe for funding reasons, maybe for reasons of oil supply, who knows?

Just to add fuel to the fire, Go to the BBC's website and in their search box, type the words "taliban" and "Texas", two words that you wouldn't think of using together all that much, and just see what the first item is in the results.

I think when people talk about right wing idiotic despots like bush having "balls", they're referring to the enormous amount of courage it takes to sit behind a desk and order thousands of young men to their deaths. Oh my hero.

Oh, and please don't bring up that piece of piss air national guard commission he got during vietnam. which he barely ever turned up to.

This is the very reason I hate political threads on this site. I do not allow political or religious threads on my site (yep, I'm a Nazi right wing censor). Have fun with all your Bush and U.S. bashing...

this site is very big on freedom of speech and your site is a linux site. i fully applaud your decision to use the editorial scissors on politics and religion in your forums, it is most welcome and allows your forums to stay focused.

In the same way i applaud this site's eclectic nature and the fact that it is host to a wide variety of opinions about a wide variety of things. i really think that on this forum, as long as it stays in the lounge, it's fine. i draw the line at racism and genuine hate being expressed, but other than that i don't know why we should be trying to keep so rigidly on topic all of a sudden.
