    It's pretty damn cowardly not allowing conservatives to post in board sections other than this. Way to be "open-minded". If a peoples feels the need to restrict the airing of others opinions on subjects its just cowardice. But then again, what would I expect from lefties? Honestly. Eh, I think I'll post wherever I feel anyway. Then you can silence me and be all proud of your ability to restrict free speech. But of what limited mental capacity must one be, where one's opinions are so misguided, that you'd have to stop others from expressing theirs, for fear of being made a fool of.

    You are not having your free speech restricted at all. You can post in this part of the forum. If you are unhappy, please feel free to join a conservative forum.

    "We were forced into this meassure by some cappies which infiltrated the community and turned every thread into a general debate, a healthy discussion was impossible. This is a leftist BB (a private place, not a society or country&#33, so please hold on with pathetic speeches about freedom of speech now."



    How is it a healthy discussion if only one set of viewpoints is tolerated?

    I mean, I can understand that you're afraid that your opinions will be shown for the true shenanigans that they are, but please, allow us common-sensers to refute the obvious!

    The problem is, most people with opposing ideologies just troll the forum.

    Haha I still visit conservative forums, but they all agree with me, and where's the fun in that? I'm just saying if President Bush said from now on a certain ideology was only allowed to be expressed in one small corner of the media, I'm sure you'd all be quite afronted.

    Don't be a twat. You know full well that you'd just come and disrupt the board.

    Way to be "open-minded".
    Sorry, I think you were looking for a Liberal forum.
    If a peoples feels the need to restrict the airing of others opinions on subjects its just cowardice.
    You are airing your opinion, dolt.
    But then again, what would I expect from lefties?
    I have no idea. Given that you're probably an ill-educated hick I would hazard that you would expect us to kill everyone and build attractive displays with their skulls?
    Honestly. Eh, I think I'll post wherever I feel anyway.
    Go for it. What will happen is your posts will be removed and you will loose the ability to post anywhere other than here. If you think this is unfair please offer a reasoned argument as to why or storm off ina huff.
    Then you can silence me
    You know that you're just being silly now? You won't be "silenced", cretin, you will still be able to say whatever inane shit comes to mind, you just won't be able to do it where it would be an undue disruption.
    and be all proud of your ability to restrict free speech.
    Are you familiar with the term 'hyperbole' at all?
    But of what limited mental capacity must one be, where one's opinions are so misguided, that you'd have to stop others from expressing theirs, for fear of being mad a fool of.
    The last thing I fear, especially from someone with such salient backwardness is being "mad" a fool of. Also, though it is probably quite correct to use "one" in that context it looks very clunky and you would possibly do better to use "you" anyway as you are addressing a particular group, namely us.

    Oh, I'm sure you would. Destroying civilian's lifes just because you hate their government, like the US did in Vietnam, much of Latin America, Afghanistan and Iraq. Its always the civilians who suffer most in war, but poor little America can't have them not being policed by Washington.

    Tell me, are you somehow deluded enough to believe that by showing Iran "a thing or two" you will somehow either A) be defending some greater good (freedom, democracy, whatever) or B) Defending America from some ill defined threat.

    I totally agree. Which is why we have so many different viewpoints from various leftists. This is, after all, a "revolutionary leftist" forum, so we're here to discuss how society will be post-revolution and so on. You'll find that if I went on a conservative forum and posted my political views, I'd be banned (or restricted to their opposing ideologies section, if they even had one) which I couldn't exactly argue with - they're just debating their politics amongst themselves, and the same applies to any political forum.


    I mean, I can understand that you're afraid that your opinions will be shown for the true shenanigans that they are, but please, allow us common-sensers to refute the obvious!
    Well if anyone was going to refute our beliefs, it certainly wouldn't be you

    To answer TAKN, that is me representin' my little brother, I've long retired from military service. Oh, but what I'd give to show Iran a thing or two.
    Hahaha, you're pleased your little brother is fighting a war against an unwelcoming civilian population who want him dead at the roadside? Why? I wish them luck anyway, send my love to your mother when little Jimmy comes back in a box "for his country"
    People think they have taken quite an extraordinarily bold step forward when they have rid themselves of belief in hereditary monarchy and swear by the democratic republic. In reality, however, the state is nothing but a machine for the oppression of one class by another, and indeed in the democratic republic no less than in the monarchy.

    Hah, I hear political correctness is running rampant there too.... Oh well. But I must congratulate you two so far on your civility, truth be told I expected to just be smashed with insults, I'm fully prepared for that to happen sooner rather than later, but so far I'm pretty impressed. Now for me to start some real debates! (I won't troll if y'all won't either)

    But honestly, as a hard-working american, I've gone from the son of a single-mom waitress, who could give me and my brothers very very little, through the military, in which I gained priceless skills and discipline, and I am now a very sucessful developer. I've worked hard as hell, and I never asked for a handout, not once, and now my traditional family structure and I are prosperous. I'm able to send my children to private school, vacation regularly, my old lady even gets to stay home and watch soaps all day (If she watches the View Di-Vorce! haha). Sure it took hard work but I made it. Im interested to find out the leftist socialist view on why I pay taxes out the ass for handouts. I worked for this, now I have to give some away? Unfair!

    You do realise that in a society we envisage, everyone will be be given what they need. We won't have children starving whilst some rich guy eats his way through a week's worth of food in one sitting.

    Beautiful story. If I wasn't a heartless bastard, I might even shed a tear.

    Sounds like you'd be better on a liberal forum. Communism isn't about welfare states.

    This website is for discussion amongst leftists. There are plenty of forums on the internet where you can debate politics with people with varying political views.
    You seem neat, but...

    Aw, come now, I'm trying to have a civil discussion, there's no need to wish death on my family. Honestly, if I came off harshly its because I was a bit miffed I couldn't post in some threads I would have liked to. There is no need for that.
