I concur with the content of your post. Unpopular viewpoints
ought to remain. The hateful use of the N-word, I opine, ought
not remain (I know you aren't advocating that they should). It
is possible that Dodger11's posts got thrown out en masse.
Dunno.

Your post should not have been moderated.

Unpopular opinions ought not to be moderated.
Obscene language ought to be (as per the rules
of the site).

Somehow, your post got caught in the backdraft.

Because the Moderators here are lame and like to feel that they have some kind of power over you. Much like a lifeguard at a waterpark or public pool.

Picture it.

"Hey you! You brat! No running around the pool or you'll be banned! I mean it!"

"TWEET!!! *blows whistle* You! With the cut-off jeans! Out of MY POOL!"

"I've told you already! NO HORSEPLAY!"

At least these $h!thead lame-os get paid minimum wage to feel powerful. Plus they get to work outside. But you guys? ... There's no excuse for such blatant gayness.

Get a life.

I started a new thread entitled "Weapons of mass destruction discovered in Iraq..." which then went on to explain this was in the early 1990's when Britain and Europe were secretly trying to supply Mr Hussein with a large ballistic projectile launcher in contravention of their own embargos!

Indeed the British Government gagged the defendants from producing evidence of Government export certificates to cover their own hides in the interest of public immunity!!!!

This thread was deleted several times with no explanation.

However this is not surprising as the CIA will certainly have infiltrated this web site, cos that's their job!

I have to agree with flexmore... Iraq will never be free as long as the US continues to occupy it.

I think that if the mods be striking "Tuco Marruco the Muslim Mexican Gangbanger" they be doing the right thing... just like Iraqs striking "Al Jazeeras" privileges.

unpopular opinions aren't removed by the moderators (that I have ever seen). Looking about the number of topics that are freely discussed from all sides should make that obvious.
Examples of what can make posts eligable (but not necessarily doomed) for removal are:

n people alering a post
swearing
personal abuse
flooding & spamming
links to inappropriate websites
quoting a removed post

If you have specific concerns about a certain post being removed the contact a moderator for investigation. Sometimes there are errors (like the "wristwatch" case - there is a swearword in there somewhere) which can be rectified, or if you feel that n people have unfairly gagged you then your case can be reviewed.

So they don't have to be slaves anymore. A slave master can kill his slaves with impunity. Just like Saddam did for all those decades.

So the answer is as simple as watching the elections of last week.

People must be free. Slavery is wrong.
