1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.

Flag burners shall be punished to the FULLEST EXTENT OF THE LAW!

(There is no punishment proscribed for violations of the flag code.)

watch some nutjobs in robes rule flag burning to be a 'hate crime' against white male morons, or a 'threat' against the 'president'

Next step indeed will be where it is a severe offense if one desecrates the image of Trump, creator king of the new USA.

Thailand is to be the example in this matter.

The fullest extent of the law on this issue is famously not at all, though mild harassment by cops is permitted as they don't need to know the law
