Admin warning
This is not really a political forum, and I have no qualms about closing this thread if things go awry here.
Several people almost got suspended in this thread. Instead let this serve as a warning.
hooah212002, the first post was fine as far as it was satirical. It should have been clear, however, that your opponent had not noticed and was taking you seriously. Continuing the ruse could therefore be seen as trolling. Remember Poe's law.
Nuggin, you clearly have problems with discussing this topic in a dispassionate fashion. Please consider desisting from further discussion in the tone you have set so far. Arguments that your opponents are compassionless monsters are irrelevant to your responsibility to debate dispassionately and respectfully.
New Cat's Eye, I can't say you've done anything terrible. On the other hand, your participation here could be interpreted as you attempting to give your opponent enough rope to hang themselves with which is basically sophisticated trolling. Maybe this isn't the case, but you have been a little vague and you know Nuggin well enough to push the right buttons while appearing to be on the good side of the forum guidelines.
This is not a discussion, please do not respond with your outrage at my characterisations of you. This is just a warning to encourage everybody here to do their best to avoid problematic discussions. Any further nonsense could result in suspensions, and I don't promise they will be completely fair. So...you have been warned.

Re: Admin warning
The thread is "free for all".
Sorry, thought it was coffee house. Carry on being assholes to one another.
1) You delete this post because you are embarrassed
2) You suspend me for daring to question your authority
3) You close the thread in hopes that others won't see how you've overstepped your bounds
4) You admit your were wrong and go away.
Is there ANY chance of it being #4? Don't think so.
Wrong, asshole
