    If they did half the posters here would be banned within a week.

    Or, they'd stop using racial slurs.

    Some here couldn't survive if they weren't allowed to show their racism.

    Plenty of people manage to survive here without calling other posters pedophiles. If that prohibition can be enforced, so can others.

    I imagine that a sliding scale of punishment could be put in place by the Moderation team for people who use specific racial slurs.

    For example, a ban of 1 week could be imposed for a first offense, 2 weeks for a second, and so on.

    Frankly I prefer things the way they are now. It makes it so easy to figure out who to ignore right off the bat. Does this subject mean something special to you? I am just trying to understand why it's important.

    Once again, what is the guide line for a racial slur?
    SEDITION: incitement of resistance to or insurrection against lawful authority.

    The CONSERVATIVE half...
    What kind of country have we become?

    One in which federal prosecutors can take “evidence” before a “grand jury,”

    and that grand jury can “vote to indict” a former president for 91 alleged “crimes”?

    I've never seen BAC or Bourbon use racial slurs. BTW, I don't consider "cracker" or "cracka" racial slurs, although one may be intended when lefties use it. There's just no reason to be offended by such weak sauce, IMO.

    Oh but "repeating" what another poster said in order to highlight their racism makes the poster a racist.

    Talk about weak sauce.

    I learned long ago people can be extremely racist without using racial slurs. So just because they don't use them means absolutely nothing.

    I wonder what excuse you'll try in order to avoid acknowledging that Desh used racial slurs.

    Will you dance, Zappacrite?

    Will you dance to my tune?

    The first quote you attribute to desh is actually a comment from CFM.

    Desh was QUOTING a JPP conservative.

    You can't get that right so I feel no need to check the others.

    Maybe you should check your facts once in a while.

    You won't make such an ass of yourself.
