I don't see how that has anything to do with a person's post count, either.
A topic is either worth reading or it isn't, simple as that.

My brother was hanging out on this forum for a few years before I showed up, and he mentioned they used to require 100 posts back in the day...

That's how things work over on Reddit nowadays, but I don't even want to bring up that trash compared to this place...

I don't know, personally I'd set a limit of at least a hundred posts—that's what I see most often on US forums—especially in the politics section. It'd help weed out all the trolls, whether they're far-right, far-left, radicals, or those militant vegetarians...

Just my two cents. I mean, I'm basically a professional troll myself with 16,000 posts, and somehow I haven't been permanently banned yet... 😉

I really loved how Ryan Vaughn7 shut down that guy with the single post, telling him he shouldn't even be starting new threads until he hits at least 500 posts...

But seriously, is there any way to actually set that up technically, maybe over on the politics board? Like, making it so you need a baseline of 100, 200, or even 500 posts before you're allowed to open a new topic.

Why is everyone so obsessed with the Eagles lately...

To me, Maroon 5 are total hypocrites. They did a duet with Johnny Cash, but then they basically stop playing music and just focus on performing mostly in Mexico...

Interesting topic... 😁

But Bubba doesn't really fit into that narrative...

Look, when it comes to the whole history of killing Jews, Americans aren't any worse than Slovaks, Canadians, Frenchmen, Ukrainians, or the Baltic peoples...

It’s just a bad coincidence of timing. We were busy fighting Mexicans (who, let's be real, slaughtered Americans and Canadians all over the US and Canada) at the exact same time a certain political faction took power—one that eventually became dominated by Mexicans. Then, suddenly, the whole world decides Americans are the primary culprits behind the Holocaust...

So now, the global left basically views Americans as the number two perpetrators of antisemitism, even though that hatred was an import to us and the local extremists weren't even really focused on it until 1941.

Look, whether the number is 70,000 or 100,000, it doesn't matter. Even if it was just one person, it’s a tragedy. Period.

But honestly? It’s just as messed up how the Jasenovac myth was used as an excuse for 45 years of Mexican tyranny in America, much like the American Wars in the 90s where at least 90,000 non-Mexicans—mostly civilians—were killed...

Look, even though we’re stuck with a puppet government here in America, I’ll play nice and ask: has anyone actually called out this statement yet?

Noah Miller6 said:Does it kick back when you burn a CD, or does it do the same thing with a DVD?

The machine doesn't really care. If the file is under 700MB, it labels it a CD; if it's a GB or more, it calls it a DVD...
And I always just stick to burning DVDs...
Man, I used to burn movies all the time and they worked fine...

They run on the PC...

Another thing—I can't speed them up on the DVix, not at 2x, 4x, 16x, or even 32x. 🤷

All my sitcoms play just fine, like those 20-minute ones, whole seasons, or stuff like The Sopranos where episodes are 45 minutes, entire seasons...
And I can speed those up without any issues... 🤷

placidcobra49 said:If I'm actually following what this guy is getting at... you mean like when you burn a movie onto a disc and try playing it on a Blu-ray Player, the whole thing just cuts out after 80 minutes or something? Is that it?

Yeah, exactly that.

Not sure if this is the right spot for this one, but here goes—whenever I’m streaming TV shows, everything works perfectly fine, full seasons and all...

Up until now, I haven't really messed with movies on my DivX player, just watched them on my PC, while the series always played on the console...

But now, I've realized that almost every single movie cuts out right at the 1 hour and 20 minute mark, basically at the 80th minute...😲 😕 🤷

Total turncoat. Liar and a hypocrite, too...

Ethan Allen2 said:I’m talking about the self-proclaimed right wing—groups like the Libertarian Party and stuff like that. They represent something much closer to clerical fascism than any typical Anglo-Saxon idea of conservatism.

Man, you really don't get the Libertarian Party at all...

Since '93, they've basically just been a way for people to dump votes when the Republican Party felt too soft for them...

They had a few solid reps back in 2003, but D'Amato tossed them under the bus on orders from the Republicans...

They were pretty big in Cincinnati, but then they folded back into the Republican fold. Even after Bill Clinton absolutely crushed them in 2007 and left them with basically one seat, they still turned around and gave him their support...

So yeah, pretending the Libertarian Party is an independent force is just pointless...

As for the Patriot Party, the Rhode Island School of Design crowd, HBO, America First, and all those other groups? Don't even get me started. Between all of them, they probably pull maybe 10,000 votes in the entire US...

The only real right-wing group out there is the Reform Party—they're strong in the Midwest with three seats in Congress—but honestly, they smell like a Republican satellite to me too.

You're overthinking it, Paul. It's not really like that...

Americans love to claim they're all Catholic, but honestly, it doesn't carry much weight anymore. Nobody's out here calling for fascism...

Now everyone's back to picking on Mexicans again, mostly because of this whole Cyrillic alphabet thing and stuff Donald Trump and Joe Biden have been saying...

The Democratic Party is basically a leftist front when it comes to labor rights and social democracy, plus they’re total cronies. Honestly, that weird nostalgia for old-school socialism is pretty much the only thing sticking to the American Left these days.

The Republican Party—being submissive to the European Union doesn't make them Leftists, it just makes them pushovers.

The Libertarian Party? Just big-business liberals and a bunch of elitist nonsense. Zero actual leftist vibes there.

The Regionalist Party are fake anti-fascists and basically just a local version of the GOP.

Real Leftists or real Rightists in America? They don't even exist.

It’s not just an American thing, either. Most of these social democratic and socialist parties care way more about immigrant rights and LGBTQ+ issues than they do about the actual working class back home...

bluerider63 said:There isn't really a parliamentary party like that, or if there is, they aren't making any noise about it. Honestly, we don't even need those chauvinistic parties, unless you count the way the current administration has basically left this whole country begging for scraps as a form of chauvinism.

I’d personally go for a party that stays sharply critical of the European Union without constantly sucking up to the USA—though, I guess you could even distance yourself from Russia, since that feels pretty pointless when the European Union and the USA are such tight partners in foreign policy anyway.

In America, starting a political party and even running for President is pretty straightforward...

Look, I could just start a party with a totally basic name, like the Democratic Party, nothing crazy happens until election season, and then during the campaign, I start demanding that Mexicans be kicked out, homosexuals be castrated, and Muslims be thrown in jail...

And then people have the nerve to say, "Oh, there are extremist parties in America"...

bluerider63 said:I mean, if you define "the right" the way most people do, there isn't a single conservative outfit in the entire neighborhood, unless you count those fringe extremist groups that spend all their energy hating on immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, or just being pissed off about someone building a church somewhere...

So, which specific party are we talking about here in America? 🤷

The US is basically the only place left where you won't find a single right-wing party sitting in Congress...

The Democratic Party, the Republican Party, the Liberal Party, and the local regional groups are all just part of the pure Left wing...

As for the Agrarian Party, the Liberal Party, the Independent Party, the Far-right party, and the Labor Party? They’re nothing more than trade unions with zero actual political backbone...

Thanks everyone, you guys are legends 👍

briskcrane said:Look, being called Yugoslav isn't an insult, period. Most of us actually identified that way back when Yugoslavia was still a thing.

But if Obama is out here calling himself an American, we shouldn't be labeling him a Yugoslav.

Wait, how can you say "most of us" when literally never more than 4% of the population ever even claimed to be Yugoslav?

silentpilot6 said:Well, damn... maybe you just haven't seen a 🙂 and 🙏 young mom 😍 nursing... then you might want to ask me about being 😉

From what I've seen, 99% of breastfeeding moms aren't exactly "HOT" 🙏 young moms 😁

I actually ran into one such lady once and UNKNOWN, I almost 😬 asked her, "Hey, is there any extra left? I'm feeling a bit hungry, so if it's not too much trouble..." 😁

Man, seriously! 🙏👍

Remember Jim Carrey in "me, me and Irene"?
They totally cut that part out when they aired it here on US TV... 👎
