Hi Bob,
I think thats a little bit harsh to want to censor Ceri for his outspoken opinions, even though I myself think he was a little over the top there...
If you have friends and aquaintances in the Lebanon, maybe you too would understand his anger. As for this being a damned fine MC forum,well, couldn't agree more, and as long as the "political" shit stays in the lounge, I don't see the problem. This site has a huge range of people from all around the World dropping on in, brought together by passion for motorcycles first and foremost, but still a real representation of 21st Century humankind. If we can't jump around and sqwalk a bit here, where else can we go ? Other sites full of people who think like we do ? Thats nice, but not very constructive. I don't agree with a lot of the stuff you, Simba, Sburns or some of the others say sometimes, but it makes me think, and sometimes makes me validate my own entrenched points of view, or even change them...so that can't be a bad thing, no ?
Whether we like it or not, politics dominates our lives. From some asshole in DC deciding that MC's are dangerous, to some morons in the World starting a war, this crap touches us all, and if we are not free to discuss it, then what kind of World, and what kind of legacy, are we leaving our kids ?
We have a common passion, lets use that to draw us together.
If you think you have a good argument to persuade Ceri that the "Jews" don't control America, tell him about it. Exposure to light makes most silly shit whither and fade. But asking for him to be banned,....hmmmm. A bit too much Big Brother there, methinks.
Just my humble opinion.
Peter
