Yeah there is. You have plenty here. If you really understand the First Amendment, it doesnt mean ABSOLUTE freedom. It was recognized that we all have freedom to worship as we please and to criticize the king without retribution. There is no stifling of free speech hereFYI no such thing as free speech on a discussion boardFor foreigners being unfamiliar with American politics is not really an option. They get bombarded with our "news" and alleged views. So perhaps some prefer mixing it up here with actual Americans as a check against what their media tells them about us. Some undoubtedly stand to profit or maintain by promoting their political agenda here just as many who live here obviously do. Maybe this and that,.. but just stop and consider how politically uninformed Americans generally are about politics elsewhere. And what if all suddenly began shutting out views due to fear of foreign influence? The whole notion is anti-free speech, anti-transparency, anti-American, and ridiculously isolationist.I don't believe some of these guys are from away. Why would they be on an American board, knowing so much about American politics? Half the people in America don't care about politics. Why do they?The sitting president affects the entire world.
I have no problem hearing thier points of view.
If they upset you so much, use the ignore button.
What about the gun thing? Americans having a Second Amendment and having guns does NOT affect the entire world though. Why does some random shooting in say a TINY town in Ohio bother the Leftist Non-Americans to the point where they will post threads DEMANDING that ALL Americans should be FORCED to hand in their guns?
I agree about Foreign Policy issues affecting the entire world but America's Domestic Policy does NOT affect the entire world.
That goes for Lucy, too, though. Don't understand it, except I'm sure in Austria they won't allow her opinions on social media.
The mods and admin can restrict as much as they like no law against it.
