Did you know in a recent poll that 30% of German teenagers didn't know what the holocaust was about? It's you teens and 20-somethings that are brainwashed and ignorant about the future of Europe because they shove multiculturalism, at the expense of your own culture, down your throats, and you young twerps eat it up like candy, but the time will come when you will have to bow to Sharia law...democracy in Europe is dying a slow death...OZ could be next...
Quite so. I wish people like chancre would stop trivialising the opinions of others by insinuating their root cause is spitefulness and jealousy.
Originally posted by WulebgrI still maintain that few people hate Americans. They are, on the whole, a remarkably friendly bunch, though terribly insecure for some reason.
If Americans ever begin to understand why most of the world hates us, we might stop behaving as juvenile delinquents. In fact, the bubble in which most Americans live shields us so thoroughly from reality that "anti-Americanism," as you call it, well may be evidence of the absence of bias.
However, I think most people don't really understand the pathological flag waving or why their own country has to adapt it's policies to suit the American administration or face punitive trade sanctions. Free trade would seem to be a one way street.

Did you know 99% of Americans didn't know Holland is not a country or where the hell it is.
These kind of statistics aren't a problem in themselves as people can live how they wish but when these same people make sweeping statements about foreign lands, the statistics kind of make them look silly.
Originally posted by WheelyI'm not so sure that the shoddy moderation on this site has to do with anti-americanism. However, I am quite sure that everyone hates

Americans. Perhaps it is just the people with the most hate that are the loudest, but every other thread feels like it is against Americans.
That is why I hide in a bunker as millions of terrorists attack the country every day. Don't believe me, FOX told me so!

Yes I own a passport and would love to visit Holland. I could probably point it out on a map too, hehe.

Actually the Holland thing isn't really fair because I imagine 99% of Europeans don't know that Holland isn't a country either (excluding the Dutch of course) though a higher proportion could tell you were Amsterdam is 'cause it's such a trippy place to hang out.
Holland is actually a region of the Netherlands and the Dutch get very upset when people don't know this 🙂

What ever the size of his 'nuts', his brains and common sense are clearly superior to yours.
Maybe you should state exactly what your problems are with me and then I'll answer them, each and everyone, with an answer that will probably satisfy you and stop clogging up each and every thread with your obvious dissatisfaction of my comments and opinions.
Do it in a new thread so everyone can join in or do it in a PM.
Not in this thread though, then we can leave people to discuss matters in peace.
Originally posted by chancremechanicThe reason you were banned and the other user was not is because I had PM'd you several times only days before warning you about swearing in the forums, to which you responded saying you would refrain. Then hey presto, you were swearing fouly again. Theother poster wasn't banned because (for want of a better way of putting it) he was on a first offence, not final warning as you were.
Bias is a major problem, especially if it's anti-American bias. I admit that I use foul language on the forums but no more so than most of the posters here, yet they "party on" while I get banned for 5 days, etc...
As for why you didn't get a PM explaining the ban - you've shown clearly in your posts that you know why you were banned. Your only complaint is that the other user wasn't banned, which I have now explained. When the cause is obvious I'm not going to spend my time explaining it to you again.
Anyway, this thread is quite entertaining. Of the two posters that have a grievance one is accusing me of being pro-Bush and the other is accusing me of being anti-American. Neutrality proven then? It's funny how neither poster thinks to blame themselves, isn't it?
Originally posted by belgianfreakI wished all moderators would give a warning before banning people, and give an explanation in cases in which the reason isn't obvious.

Which makes me wonder - don't you have some kind of protocol you have to follow if you are a moderator? It seems that different moderators handle things completely differently.

I wonder how this is possible ?
