    Uh... if you don't mind me asking, since when were we talking about politicians ?

    As we're talking politics, it seemed a bit apt.
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    As a moderator... we are always accused of being biased in favour of the right by the left and the left by the right.

    So as long as we get complaints from all we know we are doing the right thing.
    Same school as thought as not being a racist because one hates everyone.
    Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.

    It seemed excessively pessimistic - and not a little over-simplifying and hence populistic - to me...

    But then again, we don't have a two-party system here.

    If I'm not in on it, it's categorically wrong.

    Well, obviously there are nutty people at both ends of the spectrum. Most people are really only a little to the left or right but very few people are truely in the centre, unless they hold no opinions.

    You'll find a lot of people have views from both "camps". For example, I believe in public healthcare and a strong military able to project power overseas.

    I think what often happens is that when people argue they become entrenched in their position and both parties move further and further from the middle ground. Human nature in any arguement.

    That's why you should try to get to know someone before you discuss the big three.

    I'm not accusing you of being rightists... So it appears you're not doing things right after all!
    Still maintain that crying on the pitch should warrant a 3 match ban
