• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

I would have never imagined that mentioning an historical date just for the sake of remembrance, as it was done here by so many other members so many times before, would have stirred such a reaction.....

P.S.: I beg forgiveness to anyone else here if my words were too strong, at first I did not want to reply. In the end, I had to. Thank you for everybody else's support.

I thought the thing was dead and buried...

Remember what Bearcat cited above... THERE ARE TWO SIDES TO EVERY MEDAL!!!
and "nicely" abrasive... is still abrasive... ("being helpful is better than being right????)

One should not turn to downgrading anyone's knowledge of a language... ability to read... etc. etc.
the retort will still be abrasive and aimed to HURT... No Isis referrals here please....
People who live in glass houses should not throw stones around...
Facts are facts and emotions are emotions... AND NEVER THE TWINE SHOULD MEET!!!
The old adage says "From discussion light is borne" well, NO LIGHT CAN BE
BORNE FROM SUCH A MIXTURE...

Oh, Common Sense... wherefore art thou.... Political discussions should be refrained from in this forum...
Most folk just "ain't got what it takes" to peaceably discuss politics...

Passive aggressive is still aggressive... (i.e: You sound like an idiot... Oh, I don't mean you are one... Sorry if I
sounded too harsh...) I am still calling you an idiot... and that is a fact... No way to soften what I said...
So... everyone... let us put our brain in gear before we "floor" the word pedal...

p.s.: Sorry if my words seem to judgmental... hahahahahaha! Have a nice day... (mmm???) (do I mean that?)

ma va a quel paese...

I quote Jorge Agustín Nicolás Ruiz de Santayana y Borrás (George Santayana in the US):

"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it"

"Only the dead have seen the end of war."

I think all parties have been able to voice their opinions respectfully. Before it gets out of control, let's call it a day. If anyone has more on this, send me a PM and we can continue the conversation privately.
