Oi, oi,

People complained to me about a problem, and I decided to ask others about it. Whenever possible, I'm going to ask everyone about their opinion on a given issue, because I think I can be a fair mod that way. I'm not here to exercise any sort of authority. The PDD is a place where I think I can have mature discussions with the users, and I hope I'm not wrong.

True, I don't have to. But, like I said, I don't want to take any measures just because I (don't) think something is right. I want to debate, to gather new ideas, and all that.

So, no, lads, this post isn't unnecessary or anything. Hell, just because I'm Brazilian it doesn't mean I'm fine being a dictator

No, we want a simple thesis sentence, AS THE MINIMUM if someone is going to copy n paste an article. No one is being silenced!!

What's so hard about 1 thesis? Are you people scared that your opinion might be hammered in a real debate? Namely Latinlover, who can't debate worth SHIT..

Damn I hate haters. Why do you got to hate on me MisterOpus? I havent claimed that im smarter than anyone here. But I do got to tell you, come on Im 19 y.o and you are how old? I bet you I know more than you about this country. Considering I wasnt even born here. I told you if you want to debate me you know what you have to do. I mean I dont even try hard in this forum unlike you, I come here just to chill. But ive seen how you try to debate, but your wack! I mean if I was a 30 y.o and be at that same level you are thats sad man( ill commit suicide). No offense but if I was 30 I'll already would have been the mayor of Miami. What are you again, your still a student trying to learn? correct me if im wrong

Thats it I had with this type of people this is going to be my last post in the Political Thread forum. Im going to retire, sadly all these past days ive wasted my time with this type of individuals clowning. I called it quits

Good riddance... You don't know shit about debating with supporting sources. We're not here to "chill", otherwise we'de be called the "Chill Out Room", DUH!? You can take your immature ass out of here for all I care. I'm only 1 year older than you, and I 100% agree with everything Opus has said regarding almost everything, including addressing your antics. Age isn't an issue numbskull....

I'm afraid you have, all too many times. Shall I quote you on those occasions to demonstrate or will you concede that you're lying through your fucking teeth when you say that?

Much older, unfortunately.

Don't move to Vegas with such betting habits.

It would be nice to actually see you follow up on your bullshit rhetoric, however, instead of telling us how incredibly smart you are.

But that's a wish in vain, I suppose.

What's wrong with debating here? Still not quite sure what exactly you're scared of or what you're waiting for. We know you got some crazy mad skills that could easily surpass and embarrass us. The anticipation of it is just killing me.

Pleeeeeease show us your mad skills?!?!?

Wrong forum. Chill Out Room down the hall, second door on the left. Don't forget to take your nickel bag of skunk with you.

Your heartfelt thoughts of empathy are almost overwhelming. That's not the drugs talking, is it? Because I really wanna know the REAL you, man. The REAL you.

Wanna hug?

I'm running out of things to say about you. "Fucking tool" just keeps circling my mind.

"No offense" or anything.

Sorry. Can I switch my vote? Admittedly, I'm having too much fun as things are (you converted me, Josh! You converted me!!!!!).

I agree with Josh's conclusion if not his way of articulating it.

Sometimes an article can stand for itself; simply summarizing it is hardly "giving a thesis" or whatever that means. If I post an article, I'm looking to generate a reaction to the article based on others' interpretations of it, not a reaction to my own personal interpretation of it.

Not gonna lie, amidst all the fluff he posted in here, he does have a point. This forum is extraordinarily anti-establishment and radicalized, with the promotion of fringe conspiracy theories and outside-the-mainstream political ideologies. And though this is an international forum, US-based discussions are the only ones generating any responses, and those truly international issues that do get posted always reverts to some neo-con/communist bashfest. PDD could be a lot better than it is if people were more open to other opinions (including the opinions of LatinLover, however disagreeable you may find them).

Chasing away a contributor, no matter who that person is and how he/she contributes is no victory in my mind.

My 2 DKK.
