Sounds like a difficult problem to solve. I know in some forums they have moderators assigned to different subsections of the forum, in which they are expected to read and keep up with the discussion. When a moderator that doesn't have time to read everything is notified of a problem, they might make unfair decisions. More moderators with specific assignments might help. I agree too much moderator intervention can be a problem though. They should only intervene when the problem is serious. I see mods stepping in to announce that "things are getting off-topic", even though no one is making insults. This often happens late in a thread, after most people have given their opinion on the original post. If people are having an interesting meta-discussion, why shut it down? It only serves to annoy the posters, and little else. What's with the obsession that threads should be so highly organized? Better that mods should expend their energy where it is needed, violations of forum rules that offend posters to the extent they will leave.

I can understand if it annoys you that someone is different, but would you have them 'silenced'?

Native Ceremony takes place at a public school

Even better is their ability to sell the white man cheap tobacco. That, and running casinos. " In multiple provinces, the provincial governments have entered into agreements with First Nations which give them the rights to develop casinos on First Nation lands. These nations have agreements with the Canadian and provincial governments that allow them a great deal of autonomy in their powers to govern members of their nations and decide what they can do on their land." -
America under President Trump
OftenWrong replied to betsy's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
The software is fine. It takes a little adjustment to get used to it, and we all need to be "challenged" once in a while. -
I would love to see your data re: number of posts being reported, and the political affiliation of those posters.

So what, the guy supports somebody in every election. That doesn't mean that his racist views are shared by the person he's supporting. -
More likely I'll be gone, and sniveling shall leftists remain. Those who hit the report button the most shall win.

It's not the skin colour or the nationality that's a problem. To paraphrase your hero Clinton, "It's the culture, stupid."

Your posts are funny and you are very cute. Don't believe anything these miserable apologists have to say.

Your thoughts on official unilingualism?
OftenWrong replied to Machjo's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
Seems I heard that New Brunswick is the most bilingual province. "Of Canada's ten provinces, only one (New Brunswick) has voluntarily chosen to become officially bilingual. New Brunswick's bilingual status is constitutionally entrenched under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Sections 16–20 of the Charter include parallel sections guaranteeing the same rights at the federal level and at the provincial level (New Brunswick only)." -
Native Ceremony takes place at a public school

They should stick to teaching the standard curriculum, nothing more without parental consent. In other words, learn about reading, writing and arithmetic. That and anal intercourse. -

You're lack of cultural sensitivity is showing! -
Urban vs. Rural Culture and the US Election
OftenWrong replied to Michael Hardner's topic in Arts and Culture
How would you get states to remain in the union if they didn't get some kind of say in an election? At that point they might as well secede and form their own country. You know this is how it works in Canada too, of course. -
The Left aren't taking the Trump Victory Well

No, she still shines like a light in the sky... hallelujah... -

Conversely, I see a lot of misplaced outrage right here. Would you call it dumb? -
Well, since the thread is about Donald vs. Hillary I would say, Trump doesn't need to raise the standards for things produced here. Hillary on the other hand would represent the status quo. Production will remain outsourced to India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and all those places where the workers suck toxic fumes every day, so that you can wear a pretty pair of blue socks for $3.

Probably the best thing that can happen for Canada anyway. This country's been sucking on that tit for far too long.

Vast numbers of people in rural communities disagree with you. -

Why thank you Sir, and many of yours have raised a good chuckle when I read them! -
President Trump's cabinet
OftenWrong replied to Derek 2.0's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
Amazing. What we're seeing is actually continuation of the former President's policy, which he carefully concealed with his smile and soft demeanor. All that's happened is we have someone now who doesn't need to hide what he's doing. This shit is chess, not checkers... -

" Several articles have estimated his IQ at around 156, which would make him smarter than 99.98% of the population." Trump is so smart, he made you think he's stupid. -
Rampant pollution without environmental controls in these third world countries -which they use to their advantage to lower the cost of production. To hell with the environment, right? Just different standards. Probably, more realistic standards.
-
"Different standards" demonstrates the leftist thinking. They're not wrong in the way they live, just different. Many third world countries that produce cheap goods for westerners to use have a high rate of child labour. Child labour isn't a problem. Just different standards. Probably, more realistic standards.

Ironic that the media was against Trump, but mainly showed and talked about him, and ultimately this may have been in his favour. Some say Trump knew what he was doing, knew how to get that "sound bite" out there because of his TV experience. Any press is good press?

Because sometimes it takes a prick to do the thing that needs to be done.
