I don't think there is much you can do about that, people often believe what they choose to believe, and the 'truth' is not always absolute. The recent thread about Trump vs Clinton provided some nice examples.

If only these people would read Machiavelli's "The Prince" - and see what's being done to them and how long it's been done to people.
The current election cycle has a theme: J'accuse ! - prove me wrong. An an ill-educated audience lapping up the manipulation.

Most of them would not even know the book exists, and even if they did, would probably not understand it. To be honest it's not an easy read. However, I get your point, and tend to agree with you, but ... boys will be boys.

Your last name, and you are a master mason?

Nope - the website's not Masonic at all (although it is a squatter on a Masonic Website).
Balboos is not Masonic at all. The "W∴" is.
It's not super exciting but being a man-of-mystery, even if for a few minutes, must be worth something.

Seriously? He builds walls for free? Does Trump know about him?
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

You actually made me chuckle. Good one.

Wow, what an attitude based on ... nothing but the shit in your head. Thus proving opinions are like assholes: everyone's got one and they're usually full of shit.

Never apologize. It's a sign of weakness.
As an example, liberals are always apologizing...

I see why you'd post that but it's not quite why.
The hope was (originally, but it didn't last) to separate from any specific topic and jump in on the whole. If it had gone as hoped, there could have been some good thoughts generated in any number of heads, my own include.
Meanwhile, I leave this for you so you can understand me better:
I fight with people on the left.
I fight with people on the right.
Until they all realize . . .
. . . I'm the only one who's right!

Welcome to the HRC Apology Tour...
And this is a perfect example of why we need the ability to set "ignore" on selected users.

<satire>
The posts in this thread have clearly illegally immigrated from the Soapbox. Therefore, we must build a great firewall around this thread in order to stop any more Soapbox undesirables from violating the border and we must make the Soapbox pay for it. These undesirables have invaded our culture and are threatening to change our very core values. If elected WebMaster, I will put an end to these troubles, through any means necessary.

You can always request the operator to move the thread to the soapbox. But, as for soapy threads, this one is pretty mild.
