    That's a mind bender if I ever encountered one. :D

    @Baron, I appreciate you making your stance clear at least. After all P&R contributes a large number of posts to the overall total, if not the majority.

    Would you mind please closing my account on this site. I don't think I want to be part of a site that does not denounce lies that contribute to and promote racial hatred, by not taking a clear stance against it.

    Or is there a way I can close the account myself?

    Thanks

    Well, it depends I would say. If a large number of the population is mislead by certain elements that have no qualms at making up lies with the intent to stir up hatred towards race and religion instead of focusing on individual cases then the majority should not sit silent and watch on how a few fuck it up for all of us. Let's procecute crime to the harshest legal extent but splitting a society as has happened in the US can't be good for any nation. When some would rather shoot a bullet into a Hispanic's head or bomb the whole black ghetto without regard to individuals then something is clearly seriously wrong. Would you not think so?

    Let's have a debate about Islam or Muslims or blacks or whoever but why do we need to tolerate those who try to make a point with lies and falsehood? It only shows how weak their arguments are. Unfortunately there are a lot of gullible people who are easily swayed without checking facts. I simply don't find lies acceptable.

    In Canada, we believe that racism and some "hate" is not covered by free speech. While it may be true that said content is legal in the US ( for now ), it still reflects badly on your site to have a section dominated by such content. This has nothing to do with being "easily offended", for many of us ALL racism offends us. We can choose to oppose it or give up on a certain club or populace that refuses to be civilized.

    Your stance on this is no different then golf clubs that only allow white members. There are I am sure numerous aging directors at said clubs who could rhyme off numerous excuses why this is an ok condition. All the outside world can do is exert some political or economic pressure on said clubs to essentially force them to change or they become isolated and eventually irrelevant to many. A country may in fact make it illegal in some cases.

    ps I'm not "left leaning" at all. That's just another example of the propaganda that some
    use on here resting on labels rather then the actual subject matter. Go ahead, show me
    any posts I have in history that support your contention that I'm "left leaning".
