[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 2878828, member: 15199"]I had to remove some posts that were on the political side. Looting has always benefited or supported someone or some objective through history, just the narrative changes. Whether it is good or bad depends on the side of the line one is. Discussing looting on other than financial side seems appropriate, but 'naming' possible looters and/or recipients is getting into taboo areas of the rules, so no. The reason is that the ownership does not wish forums of politics , religion, or world events, to be intermingled with the main subject areas. At his own expense, he started a site called "[url="http://www.partisanlines.com"]www.partisanlines.com[/url]" for such subjects, but most members do not want to go there , as ....well, they can say themselves...but it is not the same ambiance as here.
