That would be 'judgment', "pommy".

And since when do YOU have the say-so on who may post an opinion? It seems to me that you cannot handle any sort of disagreement, at which point you then try to stop that opposition from continuing in a thread.

Sorry, that is not how this forum operates.

As to the thread's topic, what makes you feel that you can stop people from other countries from forming opinions about Americans--especially when so many Americans are closed-minded, short-sighted, and suck up to any and all conspiracy theories?

If 5 pages of "You Are Wrong" can't make a dent nothing will...unbelievable!

Let me get this straight...

Are you saying that it is unacceptable to you (and you alone) for anyone born outside of this country to post an opinion related to American politics?

And...are you saying that in posting an opinion, the foreigner is exerting some magical political influence that we will tangibly see in our next election?

By your reasoning, that would mean that every American poster on C-D will be changing their voting habits based on a single foreign poster's opinion.

Sorry, that is simply ludicrous.

I have no problem with people from other countries forming opinions. I do think it is wrong for these foreigners to post on U.S. forums with a political agenda.
