Despite the fact that I am not listed amongst GW's buggest fans, I don't think it was really tactful to throw up that sort of joke with that sort of headline on what is largely an American dominated board. I expect you to recieve some angst over it.
Davros walks away muttering "This will all end badly it will".

I agree. I do think that it was funny, but I guess something like that might not have belonged on the boards. Hey, I was born in America and have lived in America all my life, and I am not 100% against everything that George Bush has done, but I just tried to look at it in a joking manner. It's not like it's going to happen actually... [/QUOTE]You two are talking about CENCORSHIP, that's the bloody opposite of what our democracy stands upon. You are not seriously thinking that just because most of the people are American then we should not be able to have critics on them, al be it in a joke form?
Once again, freedom of speech, REAL freedom of speech. IMHO, you can say everything what you want, but it is up to yourself to be a good person and shut your mouth when it is really needed. [/QUOTE]IW is Ziroc's home, he owns it, and you're a guest, so all that 'free speech' rhetoric isn't applicable beyond the ToS and common courtesy.
I'm going to change the title of this thread because it severely misleads people as to the topic and while I know the title was done in the spirit of a joke, it is in very poor taste as Davros mentioned, considering the large number of Americans on the board.
The joke is fine, but the title is changing.
