Do you want to remove all bans on drunk driving or texting while driving, because that harms nobody (until someone is killed)?

Yes. However, any crime committed while drunk or high should carry 3x the penalty.

Queers want to be weird

Agreed.

I wouldn't have as much of an issue (and I didn't go nuts in the last thread) because I get that he's unpaid and I remember the clusterfuck in c/gaming when Fishyman was modded. But then he also abuses rule 16 (among others). Or lets others abuse it through post reporting, using him as their blunt instrument.

If he were to get on top of the obvious spam problem, by modding more users or otherwise, and enforce rule 16 consistently, I would have less of an issue. We'd have to deal with the bigger issue of users being constantly banned for "talking about minorities" ala reddit, but it would be consistent, at least.

We currently have the worst of both worlds, and I'd prefer he just did nothing than what he's doing now.

Crying about minorities is not important here. I don't even bring it up unless it's relevant to the topic (see the entire Yasuke mess; try talking about that without mentioning "minorities").

What is important is censorship. The fact that we can criticize any religion or creed on ConPro (and I've criticized Hilter there as well; no ban) means we have free speech. Here you can criticize almost all of them, which means we don't.

Yeah, the argument I'm making is based on the Bible. I don't even need the Talmud to understand that Judaism is both genocidal and supremacist.

Nothing. I want him to do nothing. Clearly, the only solution will come from the actual userbase.

That's what I'm saying. It's better to not have him engage at all, rather than do it in this half ass measure.

He won't though, that's my point. There's no point in putting pressure on him because he doesn't want to fix things.

But he won't, and never will.

I agree it would fix things, but the fact is he wants things to stay broken.

Time to admit that mods won't help this forum and it's up to the community to police itself before we get banned for cp.

Yep, despite the lack of policing of borderline illegal content, he definitely had time to ban me for two days for criticizing a (((certain religion))).

Oddly, he didn't have time to reply to my appeal?

Just do it exactly like student loans. If you can't pay, you qualify for a low/zero interest loan to cover the cost which you can pay back whenever, but can't be discharged via bankrupcy.

This keeps the benefits of a market while also ensuring the poorest Canadians can access healthcare.

We need based Western animation like the kind they have in Japan.

Unapologetically nationalist and pro-heritage. The Japanese, after getting curb-stomped in WW2, which the West won, are still more patriotic than Westerners.

Although I think anti-natalism is a self-destructive ideology and, if they really believed what they preached, they'd move to Jonestown, it's good to see Imp back. Censorship is the refuge of cowards and I don't think the vast majority of people here have an issue with speaking up if they don't like a comment.

Further to this, I'm sick of people trying to apply morality to soldiers.

We can debate the morality of volunteering to serve a corrupt country but, once you join, you lose agency and responsibility. That's the point of soldiers.

If they want to go after the commander for allowing atrocities, fine. Or the general whose plan created the battle, or the politicians who created the situation, or the people who wanted the land. But the soldiers were risking their lives to do their jobs and should be recognized for doing so.

Yeah, fuck that Giant Douche, I'm voting for Turd Sandwich.

Sure, you can call it that. Ultimately it's "trying to change the nature of reality via language".
