TPP there is wisdom in you admitting you do not understand politics.
But some of us come here to first talk about that subject.
Bought up in a world that told us not to talk politics or religion,a few know we should.
No offense OUG none, I can not ever agree with Ginx, nothing she says is of interest to me now, once she had some thing to contribute it has been a long time from a post that did not offend some one.
I Think a few , well lets talk about my other hobby , ham radio can be anoying if, and it happens, the person you talk to is affected by drugs or grog, so I stay away from key board and mike when drinking.
OH politics, yes we have confrontations, but mostly ok ones some who get deeply in to the subject in my view know less about the subject than you say you do so wade in it can Be fun.

Belly babe:”TPP there is wisdom in you admitting you do not understand politics.

Yep so I don’t mess with their threads. It’s difficult to understand for me anyways but way worse when you are new to a country.

“I Think a few , well lets talk about my other hobby , ham radio can be anoying if, and it happens, the person you talk to is affected by drugs or grog, so I stay away from key board and mike when drinking.”

You should see the chaos it creates in an online war game. Saturday mornings here when the northern hemisphere gets happy is a nightmare. Nothing compared to the Aussies on a bender though, damn good giggle.

Belly why so harsh about Ginx? Did you two have a bit of a spew sesh or something? I’m really sad I missed all the stirry stuff and not by too long either.

not talk about religeon/politricks...gasp
talk about a flame-up...i take exception
its as i just said..to ludit-E..[i would have made a new topic..but too many reject slips..from grayham]

luck..had nothing to do with it ludwig
anyone...with a basic grasp of histry...can figure things out

enron..[the most clever_guys..in the room]
most polititions are or were lawyers

see how bankers..*are in utopia
and capitilists..getting their bailouts

look at polititions...nearly on xmass holidays..TILL febuary
AND..gaining a lifetime pension..for serving only one term...lol

or look at your electicty bill..!

then look at those getting brand-new solars_cells on the roofs of those MORE CLEVER..[while the rest of us..pay for THEIR cash-back...and their back up power...and the grid...and they get free power..and free solarcells..[they certainly are..'in utopia'..lol

[yet they still get offpeak...and cash back..!

or the farmers..getting huge water-grants...
and now a buyback..its not their fault we are so dumb

life is what we make it...yes others might not like it
but hey they can allways get drunk and complain to others more dumb than they are...[its better than doing something to change things]

let others decide,..who gets the next..govt handout..or the next subsidy to build a tollroad..or a bypass..or a tunnel..or a new sportstadium..or grandprix..[at tax payer expence]

those of us who figured it all out..have earned our freelunch
because others thought it too hard to even think
[im being sarcastic]...lots of workers are on holidays till feb

the clever lawyers/teachers...too..not just our polies
heck many are in utopia...just look at the main intrest..on the web

things have never been beter..if your as clever as they are

OUG please forgive ,not aimed at you or your belief.
It has been said for generations,and in my view should not be said man has every right to know every thing.
Now TPP I can not let myself get involved in a lets kick other contributors thing.
You missed nothing,it has been a problem from my first month here, once I described Ginx as the rudest poster here, nothing has changed.
In such a forum we are bound to have differences.
It is life and the difference make it worth while, I try to ignore some times others not.
But I have seen apparent evidence of drinking in some posts and been caught answering a call from a bad mannered drunk on radio, no place for it.

Belly:”But I have seen apparent evidence of drinking in some posts and been caught answering a call from a bad mannered drunk on radio, no place for it.”

Can’t do much about it, OLO don’t have no alcohol abstinence while online rule.

Tell ya a cool thing being online did about a month ago. In chat on this game (few thousands users per server) a woman said she was in trouble, heart pains, and then went silent.

I have no idea how the Canadian boys did it but they traced some IP thingi then did something else and found her phone number, when she did not reply they rang an ambulance for her… turned out she was in Aussie somewhere.

Yesterday in articles I left a quick message about my drunk neighbor being abusive then left it on screen – just in case. Should really have left it in word but was in a rush because I thought he was going to come in my house so I wanted to get outside fast.

“You missed nothing,it has been a problem from my first month here, once I described Ginx as the rudest poster here, nothing has changed.”

Ginx honestly topped your list here?

jinny:

Thank you for being so gracious.

It's slightly more than just a case of individual v. individual.
Most forums have rules by which the participants have to abide or else the moderator will step in, and in the worst case scenario - ban them. As for freedom of speech - there are laws in place regarding things like libel, defamation, hate speech, inciting violence and so on.
