    Skip, I'm not trying to argue with you, or prove a point for the matter.

    I'm not even trolling for the matter, this is a thread in Random Thought... a forum I frequent.

    I'm just stating my opinion, the key of free speech... Random Thoughts is about thoughts... and responses to them. All I did was provide you with my natural response. I can clearly understand how what I'm doing could be considered trolling if I was posting the same things in the "Events" forum, or anything similar... but, I'm just stating my random thoughts, and rather harmlessly :)

    Yeah, Rubin. If you disagree with Skip, then you're automatically a Right wing Republican and your parents are probably oil barons.

    I mean, Al Gore is such a true conservationist hippy. He is hardly an elitist with an ulterior motive. The globalist UN wants to save the planet from the impending ecological doom that lies before us. They care about humanity and only want what's best for us. We need a one world government to save humanity from the scourge of manmade global warming. You will submit to the New World Order if you know what's best for you

    Never question anything, Pavel, especially if it goes against what Skip says. I am part of the Thought Police, and I'll be watching you. Conformity is a must. Skip is all-knowing, and to question him means you're anti-hippy.

    Well, my stepdad does financially support Bush.

    Anyhow, I wanna watch Metallica live, it'd probably provide a good laugh.

    Shall I troll your threads, and INSULT both of you, too? cause I'm just warming up to this... Tit for tat? I can come and post up nonsense too.

    I enforce the rules wherever I go, or have you never noticed that yet.

    You've just taken this thread off-topic, haven't you?

    Sorry but random thoughts does NOT mean random thoughts within a thread. It only means random threads that do not FIT elsewhere. I suppose now I am supposed to feel like I can't post a serious thread in this forum? Cause if that's the case this forum is completely unnecessary imo.

    Shall i just close it because two idiots can't be bothered to follow the forum guidelines, and choose to troll this thread and challenge me by breaking the rules?

    You've both politicized a subject that transcends POLITICS but a lot of small brained creatures are incapable of understanding that.

    Why do you feel the need to rule the forums with an iron fist, Skip? Why can't people have their own opinions? It seems like if anyone disagrees with you on issues that you hold close to you, they have to worry about being canned for having a different opinion. Pavel said what he believes, and the only reason you're taking offense to what he wrote is because you disagree with it personally. If you agreed with what he said, there would be no debate.

    I am NOT trying to be difficult here, I just cannot understand why you get so nasty with anyone who doesn't share the same views and beliefs as you.

    That's all I am saying.

    That's not the issue at all, bringing up LIES to discredit the point of a thread or the thread poster or others attempting to discuss the subject is TROLLING, or aren't you aware of that?

    Plus insulting the webmaster will get you all the attention you deserve, or don't you know that either.

    I am not going to argue with you, Skip. All I say is to each their own.

    Well it seems like that was your purpose in coming into this thread, wasn't it? Likewise Ruben. You just want to argue, not present facts or address the ACTUAL SUBJECT of the thread.

    Why am I even having to remind you ppl of this?

    Skip, an opinion is neither a fact or a lie. It's an opinion, that is all it is.

    ...and thank you for calling me an idiot, I appreciate it... especially after I've donated yearly to your website, kept the Books forum better moderated than any other forum on this website, and actually made an effort to post discussion provoking threads instead of pure blabber. :)

    I will stay out of this thread now. Crowded House have some fun songs.

    Rubin, I've had enough complaints about you to have banned you long ago. I do like that you speak your mind, but man, you are SOOO misinformed, that I'm going to have to insist you backup statements with more than saying "that's my opinion.", especially if you are contradicting the point of the thread. Otherwise you are just trolling.

    The last two statements are opinions, the first three are statements of fact. You've yet to back these up. I'd also like you to list the million better causes in your opinion. (attach extra pages if necessary... )

    It's my job. Somebody has to keep the level of discourse here above the trash of most other sites, but it's a downhill battle it seems.

    And when ppl first get here they see this place is different, and they love it! Then after a few weeks they end up in THIS FUCKING FORUM, and then come away with a whole 'nother opinion of this site based on the shit they see here.

    Then the next thing is they're saying how this site has gone downhill, and how it used to be so much better (before they found this forum).

    Last thing they're saying their good byes after having too many of their threads trolled by REGULARS on this forum. I've seen this happen too many times.

    Perhaps I need to stick my head in here more and come to a decision about this forum and those who frequent it. Note what happened to the YH forum...

    BTW, If I had wanted to debate the POLITICS of this event, I would've placed this in the politics forum, no?

    So THINK TWICE before you post up LIES AND INSULTS. Esp. if I'm anywhere near the thread.

    Here's a good story on the event and all the other things going on related to it.

    http://www.huffingtonpost.com/huff-wires/20070707/music-live-earth/

    This event is now the BIGGEST EVENT in music history!

    BTW, everyone should be CELEBRATING this event and the fact that it represents more HUMANS coming together for one cause, simultaneously than ever before.

    A LOT of History is being made today!

    You don't have to GO TO THE EVENT to enjoy it. Just click on the link at the beginning of this thread.

    I've already seen over 25 bands playing, LIVE FOR FREE, without commercials on the Internet feeds.

    You will be able to see smaller portions of the concerts on TV, but NEVER again can you see any of them LIVE, along with hundreds of millions of others!

    Yeah, I just made the same point! :)

    It's pretty exciting knowing we are watching the history of our planet changing to a new course right now (hopefully).

    If nothing else this will inspire millions to become more active and aware of the condition of this planet.

    I got to see the Native Americans in DC explain their prophecies that the earth will "burn up" is now coming true. Other spokespeople from native tribes around the world have very important tales to tell of how their lives are changing for the worse due to global warming.

    PPL like Rat can come here and denounce the politics but that is totally irrelevant anymore, and today proves it. The people are a force that is stronger than any conspiracy. And ppl are connected today like never before. Whether it will change much remains to be seen, but the connection happening IS THE REAL MESSAGE today.

    Just like Woodstock, these concerts are uniting those who see the world differently from the mainstream. And now it appears that the vision we share is BECOMING THE MAINSTREAM. And that is what is needed for action to at last be taken by those in power. Otherwise they won't be in power much longer...
