That account was created on 2014-12-12 08:33:45 and had 216 posts.
Reason: As an incredibly petty and power crazed college kid who will probably never amount to anything this is all I can do to make it through the day. LOL... well deserved, but the ban reason makes me worry... I'm not sure we can find another 89 trashposter, so Kwark can make it through the next 3 months, until that guy is back. I hope Kwark won't suffer from withdrawel symptoms :/ Was going to ask what he got banned for, because I haven't seen him cross many lines, despite him being a bit of a nutter. But here it is: Show nested quote +On August 22 2015 01:03 Alcathous wrote:
They prob just ban me because it's 5 regulars vs 1 occasional poster. Easier to blame the victim. And moderators are just a bunch of college kids who desperately want to have some power over something anyway. Anyone who actually amounts to something in life won't waste their free time on that.
All I was saying is that it makes more sense to view it the opposite way. Maybe that's taking it too far for some here and invites absurd ridicule/online bullying.
User was temp banned for this post. Martyring. Why would you do that?
Funny thing is us looking over the previous posts of the martyring poster, wouldn't you say?

The rest, you can generally chalk up to the internet's rather interesting brand of mob mentality. what does "world standards" mean? I suppose the better term would be "western" than "world." Mostly meant "by the standards of the majority of the population of the world which would tend to have access to the internet." European nations are far more liberal than the US - that's all that means. by european nations, are you excluding eastern european nations just like you excluded most of the world by saying the world means europe? We are obviously talking about people that would reply to the post, which means comfortably English speaking with internet. I think that demographic is mostly more left wing than average US? From my experience, many americans have troubles processing the fact that their left is still our right (and their right is our insane) and this shift is at the root of most online political misunderstandings stereotyping, check. ego-centrism, check. european country designated, check. What the hell is ego-centric about that? And the first word is just hypocritical shit - I refuse to be prohibited from making observations about correlation in human behaviour just because some people believe that we must at all costs pretend that all people are the same regardless of where they were born and what influenced them all their lives. If that's how I would have to beahve if I were american, I am sure as hell glad to have an european country next to my name. I was just commenting on a very visible trend I see - I have met many an american who literaly had no idea that what they call "left" and "right" is by no means universal to the whole western world and I really believe that many misunderstandings would be just cleared if people coming from different backgrounds would first agree what their points are. I also observe that the problem is usually at the american's side, because when most europeans I know who care a bit about politics observe american politics with extreme curiousity and thus are aware of the differences. saying that because americans dont understand this is the "root of most online political misunderstandings" is very ego-centric. this is ignoring the fact that you are condescending as fuck. also, most europeans i have met in person (bulgarians primarily) are racist as shit and would love to kill all gypsies, so should i stereotype to all europeans as well? i wouldnt do that because its stupid. i also like this: "I also observe that the problem is usually at the american's side, because when most europeans I know who care a bit about politics observe american politics with extreme curiousity and thus are aware of the differences." its like you dont even know how egocentric your views are.
I will not discuss with you any further, I am really not interested in opinions of people who express themselves in this way. That's probably a mistake, because a continuation of this could get someone banned, thus making it on-topic.

World means European. We've come so far from the days of Eurocentrism.

I was talking about the first gulf war and the fact that you guys didn't do a thing to end the regime, even when some Iraqi factions wanted to end it and requested your help...instead you imposed crippling sanctions that destroyed the country, killed thousands of children and made the regime last for a decade more. Why wasn't the united states accused of terrorism when they first invaded IRAQ ? Even with reports stating that Kuwait was utilizing slant drilling techniques to steal Iraqis oil. Who pays for all of this? You with your tax money and the rest of the world with their blood ? We didn't invade Iraq in 1990. And even if Kuwait was using those drilling techniques, its not justification for an invasion. Sorry the UN and everyone else can't live up to your standards on how to deal with regimes like one in Iraq. But you seem to be derailing the thread again. A "coalition" did...yes killing infants and destroying a countries future is the best the UN and all the others can do.. congratulations. It's not derailment we are talking about geopolitics and when discussing such topics its important to analyse past mistakes even if the truth hurts. User was temp banned for this post.
this was in the North Korea thread.

We can get banned for sarcasm now? Uh-oh...

That was rather uncharacteristic of swag_bro. The swag_bro I know dispenses mad truths, not sarcastic ambiguities. Maybe he is in a slump, and deserves some time-off to sober up.
