These threads are nearly always American-centric.

True, but would you deny that the policies & actions of the President of
the USA have an effect on the rest of the world in this day & age?


Listen, guys, I'm a South African far far away and I find this sort of
OT discussion gives fascinating insight into the minds of Americans,
the Romans in this new age of empire, as it were. I prefer to read it
here because, as a long-time lurker in this group, I know many of you
from your on-topic postings and your lighter remarks. So I have a
sense of your non-political personalities, which gives far better
context than reading the rantings of unknowns in politics-only groups.

And as for those who try so hard to banish OT posts, why don't you
just not read them? Nobody's forcing you.

Which is the equivalent of saying, "**** the leash and poop laws. I'm going
to let my dog crap on the footpath, just walk around it."

Bad analogy... they have software now that removes the poop before you
step in it... why don't you use it, is the real question?

No Al,

The real question is why do you think you're so high on the food chain that
you can break the rules. Would it be so ****ing difficult for you to lift a
finger on your mouse and click the right newsgroup instead of abusing this
one?

The burden is on you, since you are in violation of the rules here. The fact
that this has been brought to your attention many times before indicates an
amazing level of hubris.

You'd think all that attitude could be put to much better use, even if it
were only to go to a newsgroup that addressed your concerns. I guess you must
just enjoy pooping on the path and ****ing people off. That's sort of sad.
