corrupt government

[Numner]

I'm sorry, that is simply nonsense. Nonsense that's been spoon fed to you by your news outlet of choice. Even if it were true, the oil that it is talking about is not the kind that's worth getting at. If it exists.

um its true my father works for the one of the largest oil companies in the the US, and he works right in the office in huston tx. and it is good oil, its just we want to save ours for after the rest of the worlds is gone...its stupid but thats why we are importing it

> it's stupid

Good point.

Sheldon, don't insult others. And no one has a duty to their government.

I think it's wrong to put your moderation statement "Sheldon, don't insult others." next to "And no one has a duty to their government.", which is a point up for debate. Just saying, it's inappropriate.

If I separated the comments in different posts it would still be me saying it.

And insulting others... enslaving others... both are immoral... :gyroidconfused:

Insulting is not immoral, enslaving is. Freedom of speech is not limited by your petty morality.

Hey guys, how about we do what Sheldon says and destroy the lower class so the so much more superior class of as he says "shelfish" people who want to make millions off of your death! Doesn't that sound so utopian?

The government and federal reserve have done the most damage to the lower and middle classes by inflating and wasting money.

It's not really that immoral.

But why not give Sheldon a way to improve instead of making him worse a person.

C&C on life.

And Sheldon, my mom works for a high class oil company too. I didn't really understand your post, but it sounded like you said "My dad is hoarding as much oil as he can so when the world's oil level is gone, we have it all."

Enslavement is violent aggression. Insulting is not violent aggression, but its purpose is to devalue/degrade the humanity of the person you are insulting.

Either way, it is against the rules here and if you or him do it again I will warn and/or suspend you.

And there is not such thing as "freedom of speech" on an internet forum. Websites are private property. The forum is only bound by the market. We support freedom of speech to keep people coming here. But we also don't want people to leave because someone is bothering them. In the real world you have the ability to remove you self from a situation where there is speech you don't like.

No, it's not. Especially since it can be a way to show people just how egregiously wrong and ignorant they are.

I don't think he'll improve no matter what we tell him, because he just won't listen. He's a misguided, close minded conservative under the control of Fox News. He can't be helped. But, you're right, we shouldn't insult him. I'm not insulting, I'm being truthful.

First of all, I have no idea why you chose to quote that post of mine, but alright.

No, we don't have two *censored.3.0*ing options, we have many, many options. And nowhere in those options is killing a billion innocent people.

But it's meeean.

There are different ways to tell people stuff.

I don't go up to people and just say "You look hideously ugly with that shirt on."

If I had to, I could simply say "I think it's best you get a different shirt"

So then you mean not wage war with them? :v

Also our oil?

That sounds selfish.

Insulting others is a good way to lose an argument. Think about a presidential debate. If Obama yelled, "Oh yeah McCain, well you're a big doodoo head!!!1" how do you think people would respond? Sophisticated insults don't make you sound smart either. You are just going to embarrass yourself if you replace debating with insulting.

edit: And for the record, I have no idea what you two(+) are talking about

No good ever comes from topics about politics on TBT. EVER.

I agree with Carlist; I'd type more but that would require effort. ;D

That person has not committed any offense. For example, this Sheldon creep here has gleefully admitted he'd like to selectively nuke the middle east. I'd insult anyone who holds that view.
