    No call for insults.
    If I have offended you, I apologize.

    However, I would point out that we both have points.
    On one hand, the racism was not specifically directed at me (at least, not based on any post that can be provided as proof) and thus I cannot lay claim and report it.
    On the other, it is a matter of principal, legal precidents, and loopholes. As best as I can recall, the same rule stood when Che was banned for that anti-semitic picture in his sig. While not specifically directed at anyone, it still was a racist post and he was banned under the same principal: prohibitig racism on the forums. Basically, as this forums is not entirely strictly bound by following the laid out rules to the letter (though crossing them is a sticky matter), a certain flexibility still exists. The point is prohibiting racist content that may offend anyone, not merely preventing the offense that may occure to the reciever of the post.

    Either way, the mods will decide when they see the post.

    This whole thing is retarded because it's clearly not racist. You pull the race card every five seconds, even when it's clear that you're the one who believes they have some kind of innate superiority because of their national origin.

    I myself am a Conservative Republican. I believe the Federal Government needs to stay out of our daily lives. That the states need to be the main governments in our lives. Taxes should be low & fair for everyone(flat tax). Abortion should be illegal(this is the only social issue I believe should be nationally illegal). Gay Marriage & Legal Marijuana should be voted on by the states & then laws should be passed based on those results. I believe my nation is too regulated & that some regulations should be lifted in order to achieve Economic Growth.

    In short...
    -Less Government the better
    -Low Taxes
    -State's Rights(except on abortion)
    -Lift bad regulations

    Insensitive maybe, but I don't believe it was racist, I think Imperial is just trying to start stuff.

    When did I state that I had an innate superiority from my national origin?
    Oh, that's right, you missed my rebuttle last time I argued this because you abandoned your post.
    Hardly.
    However, for all his talk of dispising racism and accusing me of pulling the race card 'every five minutes', I don't think that one can miss the trend in his posts.

    Compared to him and this?

    Though I also think Kali posted fully knowing this would be the reaction, thus he was trying to start something.

    Demondaze asked him to, if my memory serves. (It's on the 2nd page, in case you were wondering) So that's probably not it.

    Yeah everybody Battaliono is a minority because the European nation his family is from is different than most people's.
