dan, i stopped those threads because i had already asked you to keep your comments related to damien rice and stop being so agressive with everyone. i have to pay to have this discussion board hosted and so i don't want it to fill up with your anti-american comments, as i have to pay for them.there are plenty of other places that would welcome you with open arms i'm sure. as for intelligent debate, then if that's what you are after then i recommend spending less time insulting people and more time visiting sites like these:
The Independent,
The Writings of Greg Palast,
Democracy Now, C-Span,
Guardian,
TomPaine.com,
Politics.com
