    Are you being helpful here? 

    You've already expressed your opinion, I've acknowledge that.

    What's the point of beating the dead horse?

    because it's so egregious it deserves a thorough beating

    outrageous

    if you want me off the forum

    keep doing things like this

    and I will bail

    Simply not true.
    The rally was organized by white supremacists. They lost $26 million in a lawsuit afterwards. They called themselves “pro-white activists” and were protesting, among other things, a proposal to remove pro-slavery Civil War insurrectionist Robert Lee. The rally attracted hundreds and hundreds of Proud Boys, Nazis and KKK members. They were not a small minority, they were the organizers and key members. There weren’t a bunch of cheery nice non-racists who wanted to preserve the racist statue. 
     

    Again, all we need to do is look at the rally’s purpose: Preserve a statue of a white supremacist who waged a massive war against the United States. 

    the rally was organized in light of the statue controversy

    most of the protesters were not Nazi's

    and attempting to paint anyone who didn't want Robert E Lee's statue taken down as racist is beyond asinine

    the vast majority of those who wanted to preserve the statue are not racists

    which was precisely what Trump was getting at in his comments

    It's an attempt to remind members who are quick to use insults towards other members to rethink the words they're using in their discussions.

    If it doesn't work, I'll remove the feature.

    remove the feature

    this is insane

    bad word filter

    what a joke

    Some of you might have noticed that I've activated a "bad" word filter on the site.

    I've only got a few bad words on the filter - I need to do some brain storming to come up with some more... so the list will slowly grow as I add to the list.

    In the past, I've avoided implementing this type of filter because I figured we'd all be adults and there would be no need for such restrictions.

    But here we are!

    Note: the filter will ONLY filter posts going forward (i.e new posts). So any past post that contains a "bad" word will remain.

    Any issues or questions, post them below!

    this is the stupidest idea

    a forum ruining idea

    Canadian nanny state run amok

    As far as I'm aware the arrangement whereby the British monarch is the head of state of other otherwise independent countries stems from a time when the vast majority of the populations of Canada, Australia and New Zealand consisted of people who really didn't consider the British as foreigners or Britain as a foreign country. 

    In the following decades things have changed and demographics have changed. Large proportions of those countries include people who have no ties to Britain therefore no affinity but also the descendants of those who didn't consider Britain as a foreign country they do consider it as a foreign country. 

    The current arrangement would be unacceptable if there had to be a decision on it today. 

    nonsense

    British isn't a race

    and it isn't a place

    it's a system of governance

    and those people have an affinity for that system that cuts across demographic lines

    those who don't are foolish and ignorant and should be ignored

    y'all speak of treason as the if it's the reasonable position

    but it's not

    the current arrangement is vastly superior to any arrangement that is likely to replace it

    there has been one exception in history and yet some people want to roll the dice anyway

    "Both sides" says otherwise. But thanks for at least TRYING.

    I didn't say he did. I know he denied that.

    Except he didn't say that. Thanks for YOUR INTERPRETATION.

    I JUST ASKED A QUESTION. You just posted a nonsense ANSWER.

    the two sides were not Nazi's and those who protested Nazi's

    it was both sides of the statue debate

    of which a small minority were Nazi's

    and Trump condemned them

    My evaluations of Trump's credibility are based solely on HIS contradictory words.

    He OFTEN contradicts HIMSELF within weeks or even days. 

    that's what politicians do

    Trump's political opposition does it far more than he does

    and yet you think they are highly credible

    just because they say what you want to hear

    You mean like his passports that PROVED he knew the documents were there.

    And maybe that he was planning to flee the country with them.....

    I mean his medical records, newspaper clippings and Melania's clothes which have nothing to do with anything

    among other things that had nothing to do with what was in the warrant or the case

    and you just excuse all these violations of Trump's 4th amendment rights

    because Orange Man Bad

    The US Constitution says that a warrant must state the objects to be seized. Wasn’t that the case in this warrant? They intended to seize documents which were the property of the US Government. They did not seize his assets, his clothing, his fish tank, his golf clubs…

    they seized things that weren't in the warrant

    like Trump's medical records, newspaper clippings and Melania's clothes

    What were the "both sides" which contained "fine people"?

    One side was marching with torches chanting "Jews will not replace us." Fine people there?

    One side was protesting the neo-Nazis. I'd say all the fine people were there.

    Maybe there was more than 2 sides?

    I'm betting you have NO GOOD answers.

    of course there was more than two sides

    Trump did not call Nazi's fine people

    he said people on both sides of the Confederate statues debate were fine people

    he explicitly said he wasn't talking about the Nazi's and condemned them totally

    you buying into the fine people hoax is the ultimate sign of Trump Derangement Syndrome

    But as usual your definition of “Democrat shill” is anyone who isn’t a Republican shill ….so your comment is worthless. 

    no it isn't

    independents are very much against this raid on Mar-a-Lago

    non-shills oppose this

    only those suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome support it

    USA is a Republic and it’s far worse than Canada, but I don’t necessarily accept that we need to change all that much considering the monarchy is ceremonial and doesn’t ACTUALLY do anything. Politicians wield power in the monarchs name the same way Iran’s Ayatollah wields power in Allahs name. That doesn’t make it impossible to govern a country without Allah. 

    At the very least we can just do away with  the British royalty  part and leave the head of state as the Governor General, an eminent non-political Canadian who has earned the honour instead of being born into it, and is already chosen by the PM anyway and currently simply rubber-stamped by the crown…we just do away with the rubber stamping part  

    The castles and the pomp and ceremony…all a total waste of time and money. 

    the GG is a partisan crony of the PM

    that is not a better head of state than an apolitical monarch

    your anti-monarchist position is not based in reason, but based on feelings

    it has nothing to do with how well they do the job or how well an alternative would do the job

    That is a sad fact. The monarchy is a waste of time and money and really in opposition to everything modern democracies stand for: virtually irrevocable power, privilege and wealth by birth, immunity from many/most laws etc. 

    It would however be quite entertaining to see Charles, William, William’s kidd, and Harry all abdicate just so Archie could ascend the throne and send the conservative monarchists into a tizzy over his quarter-negro heritage. THEN everyone would conveniently discover a quick and simple way to end the monarchy. 

    republics are generally far worse than British constitutional monarchy

    there is only one major exception

    this monarchy is not a waste of time and money

    precisely the opposite is true
