What We've Become
The question should be asked: are we a good people anymore? We are not a great people – that much is certain. Not in a land where more people watch "American Idol" than the State of the Union address. In reality, we are still, as Martin Luther King pointed out nearly four decades ago, "the greatest purveyors of violence in the world." One day, if we are not careful, we will choke on our myths.

Be kinda neat seing yankee land getting back what it has unleashed on the innocents of the world.Unfortunatly,that will never happen!
maybe it has to do with oil being slippery?
Finally! You make a post that does not violate the rules in the FAQ!
My personal views have nothing to do with my moderating comments. Read the FAQ, look in the forumns why your posts were deleted, there is a record of them and why. You might have the right to your own views, but you have no right to use this place as a medium to spew them.
Might I suggest you and your house mates use your computers or browsers capabilities to use multiple profiles, then everyone can have their own username and posts from the same computer will appear to be more coherent?

Personal attacks are one reason 'your' posts have been deleted. Kinda tough to tell one foaming at the mouth Anon from another.

My response was to the above. If you failed to notice (amazingly) an apology was made to "4canada". I still do not believe in violence, but am for more peaceful means of resolving conflict. Two wrongs do not make a right. I still stand by that ascertation. I see you have decided to single me (and others like me)out yet again(funny how you always do that, isn't it?) for YOUR personal attack and " mouth foaming", but you never seem to single out the hater types that you apparently agree with continually. Such as the above mentioned advocate of violence. You chose me to focus upon instead. Seems as though it's become very personal between you, and the IP address of the computer I occasionally use. Harassment isn't something I, or anyone else hereabouts enjoys being subjected to, kind sir. I have yet to see you come to the defence of myself or any others who have views differing from yours when we have been "personally" attacked. Is this sexist protectionism in action perchance? If so, then why aren't you "protecting" me too? Or IS it more appropriately that for you, it's all about intimidation of those with whom you disagree? Objectivity and neutrality as a "mediator/administrator" would be helpful for everyone. Maybe you should stick to the server in the backroom and cease harassing the participants. There seems to be a conflict of interests of sorts between what you have been assigned to do and what you want to do (and have been allowed to do). Maybe you should resign from your "position" and join the fray as a participant free to "let it all hang out" (not that it's ever stopped you before). People shouldn't have to be afraid to participate if this truly IS a reputable site, should they? AT least they shouldn't have reason to fear the "establishment" running the site. Unless they make threats (like who?) or unless they advocate violence (like who?). Otherwise, might we be left alone to exercise some modicum of freedom of speech? I think I would have some right to protection from YOU by a site administrator!

Please see above. Who is being more "personal"? You are sitting there looking at the IP address of the machine I am writing from. You know what you're doing and who you are addressing quite well.
Speaking out against violence is now considered "foaming at the mouth" by vivelecanada .ca (or at least you, personally) - I am deeply saddened. I thought you were capable of rising above that. I appear to be wrong. Like I previously stated though. There is plenty on the site to hold the interest of certain people. And 99% of it judging from your archives occured before I even became aware of your existence. My friends and I (excluding those who you ran off already) will be watching with at least mild interest. Maybe even comment here and again. Unless of course you DO ban us. We have been noticing a domino-like effect of interest in your site as an example of a certain "mentality". You are becoming quite the specimen. Does this one go in file 13 too?
Might I emphasize this...I intend to ALWAYS be on the side of peace, and against killing, violence, bloodshed, and physical/mental/emotional/finacial intimidation. Your censorship is NOT going to change my mind Dr. Caleb!
P.S. I do NOT want Iran, or the United States, or ANYBODY "bombed"!
