we should not discuss any types of politics here,the site is compromised. (1803 views, 67 replies)

WE are not on an American site any more,and now that we have people here from"behind the iron,or bamboo curtain." none of we Americans should even discuss any kind of politics here any more.If you must discuss it, at least do it on a site which you know is "less-eavsdropped" on,if there is such a thing any more--which prob. aint true.Probably if you dont'
want yer politics spied on,(goddamn spelling) you should NOT put any of it on the Web any more.just stay off the web.if you must have political activities.--its bad enough you do not want to get on any
"lists" one way or another.I'm not discussing any politics here any more, the stupid web itself has no kind 0f privacy--not now.

YES,I AGREE THAT it helps us to keep up with current events,and the news online is less censored than the Media.But now that Apple is building their internet with China,
China only believes in censored web access.==and I don't see how that would avoid impinging on us too eventually..

I did know of a reporter,who deliberately learned written Chinese,and got a Chinese letters keyboard,so he could go over there himslef,and get news.That really sounds like a good way to find their real news.However,the Chinese alphabet,is thousands of letters,and all the letters just stand for different words.--they are not"a" "b" ect.

(so they know Pres.
Trump gets his toenails cut while he tweets? hmm....that is just silly.Why would he mind that people knew that?I did go ballistic,locally,one time on a site in Oregon,and they called the FBI TO GO TALK TO ME. THAT was scary.

They just saw a little old lady,and I told them,"do I really look like I could -physically manage to go around and bomb certain people or co.s?" I had just gotten too verbal,and told them I never wanted to bomb anyone myself.
... But I guess that website took it seriously.--which is how I learned that everything you say on the web,stays there,and can be dug up if they want to use it on you.

I did hear a rumour here in Oregon,that there WERE BOMBINGS HERE,and they never let the news out.--only a rumour.cause they have some really extreme crazy people here,and I read that the different nationalities here,are not accepted as they think.someone was destroying the front windows of Chinese restaurants here--they finally caught the guy.-

-but someone said that vandelims or revenge has gotten racial here.I do not think that Oregonians are racist,they just do not like having millions of fleeing Californians come here,and use up all the camping spaces in forests. NO STATE likes having their neighbor states invading in huge droves,and trying to develop all the property,change the farms to houses,build freeways,.and generally turn Oregon into L.A.

OK, since we are on this subject, I think the system should reject any News links that are from YouTube. I constantly see fake news and ridiculous YouTube garbage posted in the News section, mixed in with valid news stories. YouTube is NOT a valid news media outlet!

There's an old Bugs Bunny cartoon where they say the same thing. as if talking about gossip would break national security,, lol...... I guarantee that nothing anyone says on this site is a national secret.. it's not at all like it was during WWII cuz the internet is an open book to hackers,,,,,,,,,,, but I have seen no proof that any media (either side) actually tells the truth anyway.. and passing bad info and propaganda has become an American pass-time...
Americans can't seem to pass privacy laws, like many European countries and yet we end up knowing less and less about what the government is actually doing..

Liberals don't care about revealing state secrets. Their leader did it on national tv during the debates.

You have to care about the country to be concerned about national security.

I've always made it a policy to never say anything on the Internet or in an email that I wouldn't say out loud in public. It's amazing how many adults don't seem to understand that.

Yeah, the spooks give a huge fuk what you said here. REALLY?!?

The same person will vote one comment down and opposing comments up - leveling the playing field -So, votes can swing from one to the other very quickly with just 2 individual users.

We're hardly talking huge numbers here. It's very rare the thumbs even go into double figures ffs. There's been over 375 views on this thread in just one day - over 700 users online right now. Maths isn't my strongest subject, but...

442 Views - 38 replies from 18 different user names. (18 I think, I skimmed the page)

So you're saying all those views are only by the commenters? That would mean we averaged returning 24 times each LOL.

Or maybe 400 of those views was just you refreshing to watch your thumb count? LOL

the obvious fallacy here is that both US and UK media are very heavily left-wing biased these days as well as most social media sites which merely follow the agenda of their owners.

No web platform with any integrity is going to allow the mass spewing of falsehoods and veiled hate speech. That's why you end up here, on a site that doesn't care about laws, only views generated from content, and contentious posts bring views. It's all about the clicks.

If you don't like the social media platforms available to you, why don't you build your own to compete? Like Murdoch did with Fox? Naw, easier to just demand that others allow you to stand on their stage and use their megaphone to slander them.

Like I said, you guys are adorable.

FB was started by a few guys in college. Are you saying there's no one on the right smart enough to write some code?

Do you people actually go back and read the stuff you type? If so, give me some of that falling over water. Got to be better than what I can buy.
Politics is the hight of our stupidity. In the UK they sit on their bums and say "hear, hear" then get payed silly amounts of money. I don't imagine that politicians in other countries do much more.
Do you think President Trump bought his way to the white house? You'd think he could buy a better wig? Really, what a cheap skate. well worth a few episodes of 'The Simpsons'. Just on the wig.
