    All political parties have rights and dumb people.  If you read the thread headings and posts,  you can obviously see the disparity.  Some on right use similar verbiage and wind up in the box.

    None is safe over there that is one of my main points of your country being shit - when it is highly likely you might get shot for stating your opinion - there is something wrong with the country not the opinion - what can go wrong when you allow any deranged or mentally sick person to go buy automatic weapons in the grocery shop - am I right ?

    No sir.  Not ‘of course’.  
    I know people that are a combination of both. 
    Smart people are generally richer. 
    Dumb people are generally poorer. 

    But I know a lot of dumb rich people and a lot of smart poor people. 
    So, for sure, you can be both.

    …when it is highly likely you might get shot for stating your opinion…

    I would need a definition of ‘highly likely’.

    Well you are 26 times more likely to get shot in US compared to the 2nd worst homicide high-income country and 1 out of every 2739 citizen is statistically going to be shot on a year to year basis - and since everyone can basically buy a gun you can potentially get shot the first time you are disagreeing with someone to a certain extent or you are bypassing someone’s property (here you are free to move around as you fucking want to - without anything happening - which just show how violence ready you guys are) - that was also what was hinted in the original post - I am pretty sure more are shot by police officers alone per capita than people shot here in total - of course there is more violence in a country that glorifies weapons - that is also why you guys are scared saying “bad words” etc because you come from a culture where the threat of getting shot is very real (you have no history as a nation of taking care and bother about how your actions affect others - so don’t say the reason you don’t call people black, fat etc is because you guys as a nation respect their feelings)

    I come from a country where the consensus among most people is not to look down on those people groups so we can say most of those words without any problems - gay people here has the same rights - black people are treated exactly the same as the rest of us etc. therefore those aren’t hush hush words here (they are just used to describe men that like fucking men or if someone does something in a femine way or describe the skin colour of a person - also what I have told slim. When he tries insult me by calling me gay - that only works if both the sender and receiver of said message - think that gay people is less worth) - so I still hold the opinion it is fair I don’t get boxed for it - because in my opinion it is what the intend of using said word is and not the word itself - that should give the ban - but I don’t really care if they box me 

    Don't mention the frogs - we don't want to scare the toddler - we want him to sleep

    @Calde13

    You think the folks in the USA are that much likely to get shot for stating their opinion?  I have not noticed a difference there as compared to many other places.  I think there are people there that state their opinions very freely without being worried about getting shot for it.  

    You are saying they are 26x more likely to get shot for simply stating their opinion?

    Where are you getting those statistics from?

     gay people here has the same rights - black people are treated exactly the same as the rest of us

    When he tries insult me by calling me gay - that only works if both the sender and receiver of said message - think that gay people is less worth)

    What rights do they not have in the USA that you have?  The country I am in they have less rights, maybe since they just ‘recognized’ marriage and things like that.

    But the USA has always seemed to have large communities that are plenty accepted everywhere.

    Of course an insult does not have to be acknowledged as ‘less worth’ to be an insult.

    That would be like calling someone ‘fat’ and then thinking there are not ‘fat’ but ‘big-boned’  — it is still an insult and used as such.

    Most of those words at one time were replaced. By person in an autucorrect feature you actually had to utilize similar words with a character instead of letter to get a word to become hateful speech. Most everything it went to box..... 

    I found fhis word J3W obvious 3= E to have then autocorrected to person

     

    After tesearch the correct term is Hebrew cause their is no J sound in their language. Next tone and in past drunken rants I went to a time out as well

     The penalty box

    Lastly was not being supportive of this forum or being derogatory to management

    Have not crossed that bridge that I remember that was a ban. Asee if you can't behave when you are boxed than you are banned for life. This isn't a government run or government sanctioned ngo sponsored site it is run maintained by an independent business people who continue this platform. It is free space to use and make aware of our views but it owned by the collective of stakeholders ..to put this simply I am not going to tell off the owner the cook and a waitress at a resteraunt and expect to continue to frequent the establishment.peace

     so I still hold the opinion it is fair I don’t get boxed for it - because in my opinion it is what the intend of using said word is and not the word itself - that should give the ban - but I don’t really care if they box me 

    Yes, that is the point.  From what I gathered just perusing through here it would be your ‘intent’ for sure.  It is not just intent that makes it look that way, but included with the connotation it looks worse.  
    When folks have to result to that sort of language it just seems they are at a lost point in the conversation and frustrated and cannot find a better argument.  

    But words are just words to me.  But apparently this site is supposedly less accepting to that sort of thing than other sites are.

    I have said multiple times I use retard or retarded like slang to point out someone behave in a very stupid way (and it isn’t a bad word as such here) - that would be similar if I said you couldn’t say “argument” or whatever because that is a hush hush word here - you can’t just tell me a real word (that often is used like slang btw) is bad to use - just BECAUSE it is bad in YOUR country

    That last one was just for joking - I will ofcourse do my best not to use it anymore as I do respect it apparently rub you guys the wrong way - back on topic - do Trump still portray the tariffs as the greatest thing ever - after he basically 180ed on the entire thing or has he admitted yet that he was an idiot with no clue what he was doing ?

    Hmm it wouldn’t be considered harmful or abusive here - it would be considered more a diss if you said that someone liked Trump - which you have proven on several occasions you do - so it is almost like you deliberately try to give me something to diss you about

    Thank you and yes true I will also try to use it less in here if I can - so I am happy for the concept that it was pointed out
