    Actually ridiculing Americans as a whole is not against our rules (or I would've had to ban myself long ago).

    However ridiculing our members is NOT OK.

    Everyone posting here is a member of the forums, first and foremost. Their national identity is irrelevant for banning purposes, as is their animosity towards any group BESIDES our members individually or collectively.

    If this individual attacked any of our members PERSONALLY, they can be banned. But if they attacked a group of people, of who some of our members happen to belong to, then it is not bannable.

    It's like banning someone cause they say they hate fat people or think they're gross. So what? It ain't personal unless they say they hate YOU cause you're fat. That's personal!

    Big difference and everyone should take note of it.

    Another example: Zionists vs AntiZionists. I couldn't care less who these people attack so long as its not personal attacks, or rabid posting which is prohibited as well.

    Normally, this would be bannable because we have a special policy regarding ppl who tell Americans to "love it or leave it". That is a specific conservative troll "talking point" used when they have nothing relevant to add. When they say it to attack a member of this forum, it is bannable.

    But here Amoureux is saying exactly the opposite, which is fight for it, or leave it. Exactly what conservatives DON'T want liberals to do!

    I try my damn hardest to fight it. but like many said, I am struggling to just survive.
    I dont have any idea how we can find jobs, and yet go on strike at the same time?
    I know so many that can not even afford to go on strike for one day. this country is too focused on stupid fake so called terrorists, and our supposed national security to see the real issues, to see the crap. I talk to people who are military spouses (I am one too, and part of the military familes speak out group(peace group to remove troops from iraq and afghanistan), and they are not educated on why we are in iraq, they are not educated on the situation they will get into once they leave military life. I spend a lot of time, getting my husband to come home with some bs story that I have dismantle and tear down, and even sometimes give him the honest to god truth. It is so much ignorant people that would rather stay ignorant.
    I try my best. I ask everyone else who doenst like what is going on, to do something about it, even the smallest thing. Bc I do not feel comfortable going on buses, or planes, now. I do not feel I should have to be sexually assaulted, or go through radiation, (naked body seen to complete strangers), or be searched without reasonable doubt. THIS IS seriously out of control. How many people in this country will actually do something about it?? My pessimistic attitude sometimes is realistic. NOt as many people will listen and care, unless it is on tv. It is a sad fact of this nation. I am hoping for change, but where will it come from, if no one cares to do anything??

    these are my bombarded thoughts before I go to a crappy doctor appointment.

    Thank you muchly !!

    I will continue to make insults, ridicule and be a mean person to all americans. Just to the moment where americans do something beside watch TV and complain with Twitter.

    So in my best version of american english that I say to ALL americans.
    Grow up...
    Smarten Up...
    Shut Up and do something about it.. Or leave.

    And if you can not do something about it or leave. Then you are part of problem and just another idiot that merits to be ridicule.

    But if this makes pill of bitterness easier to digest.

    I seeing much of this in my country. So I now started to insult, ridicule the idiots of my country too. And if it gets much more bad and Harper is again made prime minister. I am leaving. I already have a place to go.

    Canada is our sister. She has lived on the same continent with us for a long time and has earned the right to speak her mind, even if it stings a little bit. We may not always agree, but we share too much history and too many miles of border not to cooperate on a lot of things, exchange ideas.

    What exactly does that mean ?
    It sound to me that it mean you will do nothing until they come to your door.

    But then it will be much late for to try and to stop them

    They came first for the Communists,
    and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist.

    Then they came for the trade unionists,
    and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist.

    Then they came for the Jews,
    and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew.

    Then they came for me
    and by that time no one was left to speak up.

    It was a sarcastic remark about how someday they are going to pat us down and scan us just for leaving our houses.

    It's not an issue I care about very much, honestly; I don't care if some anonymous security agents know I have a small pecker. I am active in governmental matters that do interest me.
