Now, I see it's full of self-infatuated, moronic conservatives and other various idiots who wouldn't know real debate if it smacked them across the face. Trying to talk reason to a brick wall would be more effective than with some of you. Many of you don't think the world likes America? Then try to actually be more bloody likeable.
At least I can find solace in the fact that consevatism is called that for a reason. Progress means that society moves forward, and the values you believe in will be dead before my own generation is.
I'm gone. I've got better things to do than put up with a bunch of narcissists.

***You are way off base here. DP doesn't require having a thick skin. DP requires having a thin skin. The moderators here have proven over and over again that they are biased toward the liberal side. "The Political Shootout" forum has legions of Conservatives that have been banned from this site because they spoke their minds (they have thick skins). I'm just getting back here from a week banning because I spoke my mind. BTW, the moderators over on the "Political Shootout' forum allows for thick-skinned opinions without the concern of anyone getting censored or banned.

RightatNYU said:Hahahahahahaha, if by "legions of banned conservatives" you mean you, skilmatic, and occasionally trajan and navy, then yea, I guess its a veritable plethora of "conservatives."
Navy Pride said:You name me and I probably should have been banned that time.......You name other prominent conservatives.........How about naming some prominent liberals that have been banned....
Please don't name Champs for the obvious reason......
They got there own "DP Sucks" threads goin on. I personally like all the smack. Cause'.........you gotta have goals.Originally posted by RightatNYU:
I'm not saying who is and who isnt banned, I'm just making the point that the "legions" of disgruntled conservatives that ptsdkid claims exist over there consists of those 4 people who ive seen over on that website complaining. I'm not in the business of saying who has and who hasn't been banned. And what "obvious reason" is that?
fooligan said:Y'know what, you're right. My response was not fair, nor balanced. I sincerely apologize. When I read the title for this thread, I had a knee-jerk reaction, and posted a hasty reply.
Is 'Debate Politics' fair and balanced? Of course it is. Try finding another politics forum where Dems & Reps & Inds & whatnot come together for discussion in a real way. Join one of those other sites; the first time you disagree with the Koolaid drinkers (on either side) you're banned.
Of course membership with DP requires a thick skin, as does life in general. If you can't handle someone dissing your party, or proving you wrong in any way, then look elsewhere. I know from experience how easy it is to be proven wrong, and I'm always open to ideas and advice.
I was a registered Republican for years, and almost always vote as such; however I'm not happy with the way my ex-party is being run. So now I call myself an Independent (heavily conservative).
Yes, DP is fair & balanced... moreso than any other political forum I've found in my years online.
If any of that made any sense, you're welcome.
Well, I was banned for awhile, for good reason. Whether you call me "prominent" is up to you.Navy Pride said:You name me and I probably should have been banned that time.......You name other prominent conservatives.........How about naming some prominent liberals that have been banned....

Edit: nm, found it. It wasn't so bad. I love how everyone in the thread had been banned from somewhere and we are the ones in error. But, I feel honored that we got a thread over there.

Sorry, we only ban conservatives! Or was that liberals?AlbqOwl said:Damn! I've never been banned anywhere. I'm feeling left out.
This deserves a response. I would guess (my opinion) that since RightatNYU is a conservative that he would mention conservative bans more so than others. Kinda admitting that even "our" team gets hit.NP said:Hmmm, its ok to mention me and skilmatic getting banned but not ok to mention any liberals huh?

As a mod, it kinda sucks when we agree with every word, but when those words are against the rules - we have to take action. Those are the type of posts that I remember the most.
