"Freedom" is a dirty word for those who are willing slaves. The dirtiest. o.O

Thank the fucking Cthulhu someone gets it!

From someone who thinks abortion isn't a political issue that counts for precisely jack and shit. ;)

You agree with him and I agree with you.
Can we go now? :D

The Netherlands plays Canada in three hours!

In which sport?

Women's World Cup.

I know, I know, not the be all end all tournament, but it's cleaner than the Men's World Cup.
No offense to the men, but the last two Men's tourneys had so much diving it completely ruined the flow of the game. Whistle after whistle after whistle. I might has well been watching golf! :P

The women are fast, amazing passers, snipers with head balls, and the games have a great flow to them.

So, if you came to these forums which are mainly gaming-centric (I know you said 'general forum' but it's still the general forum of a video game website) with the intent of talking about politics AND the intent to voice opinions which you know will annoy people who aren't on your side of the political spectrum and are worried they might get 'triggered' and cause a ban... I think you can expect some sort of fallout for sure!

Just saying, that's not going to end well no matter if there's free speech or not, and I can totally understand why a company like GOG would like to keep that stuff away from their community forums. After all, if a liberal customer checks these forums and sees the majority of posters being anti-'whatever it is this liberal believes', they will associate the whole website with this trend and go somewhere else.

But yeah, technically you can say what you want but if you intentionally trigger other customers for no other reason than to voice your opinion and step on someone's foot, you'll get clapped. I'd say if you just want a place to shout your opinions, I would suggest 4chan or whatever and I don't mean that as an insult. I just think anonymous forums with dedicated political forum threads would be the best place to go.

Ah so woman's football.

Hope you enjoy the game, football is sport I simply can't enjoy. I prefer Age of Empires 2 or Tekken.

And you seem to think you know what the staff/site owners had in mind when they made the vague "No politics" rule and how they want it enforced. ;)

On a more serious note: Do you not see how at odds with your/others(seeming) goals of a better forum this sort of derailing you/others do in certain threads is? If anything it would seem to be geared to drive people off even more form posting/staying on the forums.

Kids, kids why are you discussing politics here? You should go out to 4chan. I'll join you!

(No, actually I won't)

Do you mean my mentioning the rule? I would assume mentioning the rule to be allowed by the rules....or am i wrong on this bit? :\

Oh, I am just friendly trolling you and mister Greasy over there.

Politics is retarded when compared to morality anyway.

I kinda got that, but I was just checking to be sure. BTW what morality do you prefer? I tend to favor towards chaotic good myself.

Oh, if we are going to talk about D&D alignments, then I prefer my own morality which would be (according to my friend's assessment) Chaotic Neutral followed by Chaotic Good. I do have respect for Neutral Good and Chaotic Evil as well, though.

Didn't you say you aren't human? So, what sort of critter are you? And do you believe in inter-dimensional beings?
