Ban 1997RangerXLT?

So in this racial mix thing, what percentage are Aussies? I want to know where I stand. Am I a minority or not?

and I still feel that the author of this thread does not warrant removal, in fact, without his amazing insight into matters complex and controversial, many of us would remain more confused than we normally are.

Theo.

I vote you out. You really get on my nerves, you and all of your communist friends. But on a lighter note, I have never read a thread from you that was not well thought out or didn't make perfect sense. We should all be so lucky as to have more people like 1997 here. So stick around, I like a worthy opponent!

Let me clear this up:

Conservative - right wing

Liberal- left wing

Communism- is far left wing!

So, to call a conservative a communist is not very accurate :-)

I disagree with 97 a lot, but he has every right to state his opinion. I appreciate the fact that he can make a point without using the word "Liberal" in every other sentence and I have no doubt that his opinions (albeit often wrong) are considered and true to his beliefs. Besides, he can't be all bad - he does own a Ranger.

It looks like the no's are way outnumbering the yes'. It must be part of some vast right wing conspiracy

Hey Ranger, take your little truck and get lost.

Leave or we'll make your life here miserable.

Just kidding. Stick around. You have some good points, and some not so good points, but they are your points. So, the ones that don't like it.

Ain't that just like a right winger. 'P's everybody off, but still has a high approval rating.
Whenever I see that yellow face changing moods in the corner of a post, ya know it's a another 'good one' about Rush or something ===> 'far right'.

I've eat beaver, 'possum, and grennel. Worked in almost every state in the continental USA. Slugged beers with whites, blacks, reds, yellows, browns, mixed. Lived off the "Fat of the Land" a time or two. Washed in a pond and dried off on a pine limb. Been shot at and missed, but ***** at and hit. Been knocked down, dragged out and locked up with the worse of 'em. Looking back everybody I've met in my life has enriched it - made me what I am today - a God-fearin' free-born American with a mountain of bills and - by God - proud of it. Can't say that it would change a thing if everybody thought like I did, but I do know that I would hate to go outside if they did. My vote is NO.

I would like to explain myself.

I never meant to offend anyone. I was just commenting on how many disscussions/debates on the forum seem to get carried away, and I was hoping that our love of Fords could prevent that from happening. And then I go and get carried away myself.

I'm sorry 1997RangerXLT if I offended you. I don't care if you are conservative, I just spoke out wrongly, and I certainly don't want to see you leave because of me.

I hope you can accept my apology.

P.S. I voted no.

When you are almost 60 you need to look for attention from others.

You must realize that not everyone can agree. It makes no sense to flame somebody because of what they believe, it only creates stress on your side.

Matt, you certainly didn't offend me. Your apology is accepted and unnecessary at the same time.

P.S. I votes Yes. I like the quote from Grocho Marks, "I wouldn't belong to a club that would have me as a member." Lighten up.
