Sorry I disagree, I have seen this double standard quite often, comments about the US get reprimanded yet say something about Canada or France, the UN, or any other country that was against something the US was for and the comments are part of the conversation. Sorry if I have offended any of the mods with my comments but this is just something I have noticed.

Yes,

And I have seen this whine quite often, and usually with little or nothing backing it up.

How about this:

If you have a problem with a mod, REPORT IT.

Shit, take it to Halx if you feel so inclined.

I guarentee you he'll listen and you won't get into trouble. (He may not agree to your point of view however.)

But I am friggin' sick of the "poor little ole' me" attitude being exhibited lately, especially since the mods are pretty balanced (politically speaking).

In your case, you're complaining about a French bash when I can post a dozens of negative threads about America and Bush including many YOU'VE commented in or posted.

You call it adding "fuel to the fire", where I see it as calling a spade a spade.

Get over it.

There comes a time when we heed a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
and its time to lend a hand to life
There greatest gift of all

We cant go on pretending day by day
That someone, somewhere will soon make a change
We are all a part of Gods great big family
And the truth, you know,
Love is all we need

[Chorus:]
We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So lets start giving
Theres a choice we're making
We're saving out own lives
its true we'll make a better day
Just you and me

Send them your heart so they'll know that someone cares
And their lives will be stronger and free
As God has shown us by turning stones to brend
So we all must lend a helping hand

[Chorus:]
We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So lets start giving
Theres a choice we're making
We're saving out own lives
its true we'll make a better day
Just you and me

When you're down and out, there seems no hope at all
But if you just believe theres no way we can fall
Let us realize that a change can only come
When we stand together as one

[Chorus:]
We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So lets start giving
Theres a choice we're making
We're saving out own lives
its true we'll make a better day
Just you and me

Really? I'd love to see some examples- screw it, one example- of a mod coming down on someone for anti-US sentiment. There is anti-US sentiment in every mother-loving thread in here. I don't see where the gripe is.

If you manage to find me something worth reading, PM it to me, because this train has derailed.

Thank you, Billy Ocean, for your totally random, yet calming words.

I think it's interesting that your avatar is a gnomish being with middle finger extended, and right below that is "Location: The Greatest Country CANADA!!!"

Looks to me like "Fuck you if you're not Canadian"

A bit of a double standard, eh?
