I guess some people just get automatically downvoted due to previous views on various topics.
Not a great way to use the system!

Many european newspapers dont write about the no go zones anymore, as european people get "uncomfortable" and cognitive dissonance reading about it. These days if you take a flight and you land in Paris, you will think you took the wrong flight to Beirut instead - yea, you may even ponder if you dammit ended up in damn Baghdad. After that you will desperately try to spot the Eiffel Tower somewhere and ask people if this really is Paris. Trump may be right or wrong about many thigs, but he hit the spot on Europe - particularly Sweden.
I had a couple posts on this thread up voted to about +5 then in the space of a few hours downvoted to -5, why aren't these silent readers commenting?
I'll fess up. I just gave you -1 for living in Manchester.
What is this thread about, and why has it gone in the directions(s) it has? Perhaps we should just discuss everything all at once, connecting random un-analyzed opinions in long chains through our individualized violent private alice-in-wonderland fantasies, with all reason left in our wake? Many hear seem to be writing like Donald Trump talks - would be easy to blame this on the Americans who still believe that Trump's election, and their own choices, represent something close to democracy, except for the fact that many contributors seem not to be from the US.
My pessimism grows with almost every post - how to Resist this tidal swamp of irrationality? Seems that Trump is merely a sign of the times , but what IS sanity, anyway?
Redjon is a typical Man United supporter, in that he does not come from Manchester. ;-)
Perhaps Trump could also qualify as a Man U supporter.
These posts further strengthen my previously-stated opinion that Trump, in himself, is far from being the main problem. I'm beginning to appreciate the escape into football, a decent sort of environment - but it's sad & scary.
My bad. I had originally hoped that people would discuss Trump in some kind of civil manner in this thread rather than dropping Trump bombs in unrelated threads. @Napolean was right, I shouldn't have brought it up. I apologize. May this thread die a quick death.
who would have thought it was that complicated?
