I fully recognize that I have no right to any involvement in the political processes of your country. I see no harm in participating in discussions about it, but actual involvement would be inappropriate.

I know what you mean, though - there have been people who have suggested that USA should open up their elections to the world - that's just crazy!

And some people so readily use derogatory terms to describe others and make contemptuous remarks on them.

@Naomi Freedom of speech. Heard of it?

@guru Respect and courtesy still count.

@Naomi I've always shown respect to you.

@Naomi At one point.... No it does'nt . Especially when the right to use those terms are one sided.

@guru That's my standard, too.

@RemiDallaire One-sided? From which side? The left I assume.

@Naomi All good my friend.

@Naomi Absolutely.... What you like to be called names because of your color an your origin ? You like to be associated with what happened in the 2nd world war even though your country did stand against it (and paid a high price for it) ? Im not a maso .... people have limits to what they will tolerate.

@RemiDallaire Sorry, you've lost me there. It doesn't matter. I'll move on.

@Naomi No Naomi....Don't run away....We are having a discussion....The question is.... Do you like to be called a NAZI with white privilege ? You are from the UK right ?.... Are you guilty of all the SINS the british empire have commited (like every other countries of the past) ? Are you at that point such masochist that you are ready to tolerate such nonsense in the name of etiquette ? Not only that. But you seem to expect others to have such tolerance. i'm not attacking you. We did talk before. I'm just bringing up this point to your attention. You have all the right in the world to disagree.. But ... Listen to my point first.

@RemiDallaire With all due respect, I really don't know what your point is. I really can't relate myself to being called Nazi for being white and the other stuff you call nonsense. People talk about stuff like that on here and on other social media, but honestly, it's not in my reality. And with regard to tolerance, yes, I expect others to be as tolerant, respectful and courteous as I am. Once you become rude, you normally lose the credibility of your argument and people question your level of intelligence. And that's what it is like in my real world.

@Naomi Sooooooooo Why are you still talking to Bastion than ? He is one of the rudest person I have ever met... In fact I seem to remember you defending him saying that you quite enjoy his Tirade. And....Soooooooooo out of sight out of mind ? If it is not your reality in your little microcosm world you don't really care. Fair enough... But YOU ARE aware that people are using words like racist and Nazi right from the get go to gain an advantage in the uncompfortableness of a conversation right ?? I did even unban one of those people at your request I seem to remember... See you don't like rude people... I dislike that too.. I never do first blood... I put my points and reasoning down first...Than I receive the backlash for disagreeing and the name calling etc etc.. What I can't and will NEVER accept...is ...hypocrisys.. That burn me to no end.. Double standard too... It burns me...But I got quite good now at staying calm and just point it out... Have a good day Naomi...I still enjoy your posts

Sorry Remi, I'm really struggling to understand what point you're trying to make here.

Bastion is an "internet troll". A troll has got to do what a troll has got to do. It doesn't bother me. And when he talks to me, he talks like a real person. He lives up to his reputation as an "internet troll", and I know you enjoy his trolling when he intrudes into your empire, The Culture War group, no? Actually, Bastion doesn't use vulgar language but he knows how to trigger other members. He is a troll!

Anyway, does anyone call you a Nazi or a racist to your face because you're white? Anyone in your neighbourhood? Anyone at work? Do you ever call anyone a commie, a cuck, a fuckwit or any other derogatory term, to their face because they have left-leaning views? To anyone's face in your neighbourhood? To anyone's face at work? If yes, your "real" reality is very different from my "real" reality.

I rest my case.
