    Well, it doesn't have any relevance to the topic at hand, does it? Doesn't an international playboy like you know that you never ask a lady her age?
    Do you deny that the current situations with undocumented migrants coming across the southern border AND the issues in the middle east were at least in part caused by Reagan's policies?

    What does that have to do with the reality that the Berlin Wall came down after an East German politician rambled so long that he lost track of what he was saying and then when he had to summarize his remarks he ended up being so confusing that he failed, upon being questioned about what he meant by journalists, to properly read his own press release that he'd been talking about and said that the borders were open effective immediately?
    This is literal reality. It is not affected by my date of birth. The wall came down because someone didn't read a press release correctly and rambled incoherently for too long. That is literally how it came down. Are you suggesting that St. Reagan came down before Guenter Schabowski and told him to screw up reading a press release?

    Yes, and as we all know, St. Reagan was the greatest president who ever lived and definitely didn't sell weapons to Iran (eventually leading in part to the current situation in the middle east), fund wars in Nicaragua (leading in part to the undocumented migrant issue currently plaguing the US), give 160 billion to propping up banks that were failing or cause the bank crisis that resulted in them needing to be propped up.
    Nope nope, St Reagan was the greatest of all presidents.

    Yes, because knocking people in the face definitely will get a person elected as president...

    It's a good thing that as he tried to give amnesty and stop undocumented migration, Reagan didn't fund wars that would encourage undocumented migration.

    Oh. Wait.

    Probably because, like your other questions about where people come from, it has zero relevance.

    And whatever other foreign achievements the Reagan administration had were pretty much undone and put in full reverse by Dubya.

    Yes. Exactly. I mean, we have a situation where moderators literally sit as regular users and participate in conversations where someone is called a Mr. Cheney in increasingly creative ways and that legitimizes the calling of someone a Mr. Cheney, but when someone gets what I have always called 'butthurt' and complains about that, then it's dozens of posts removed (even if most of the post was legitimate discussion with a single line calling someone a Mr. Cheney) and thread bans threatened--even whilst said moderators have participated in the Mr. Cheney calling.
    It's really sad to see censorship at this level. It means that moderators are busy being called to issues where someone is being called a Mr. Cheney and not to actual issues that require nuanced moderation. It contributes to family UNfriendliness, if anything.

    Maybe just consider getting a different language pack for your censor. Basically, if the word is allowed on basic cable, it's completely ridiculous that it's not allowed on a site where the percentage of people under 18 is basically nil--I've seriously seen perhaps 5-10 16 year olds in my time here out of thousands of users. The ex-vice president's name, for example, is allowed on shows that are aimed at the teen crowd (Supernatural, among others). There are a ridiculous number of words that are banned on this forum that I literally have not seen banned even when I've moderated or worked on forums for teens. The closest thing I've seen to the ridiculous level of censorship on VJ is the strictest setting of the USER-SELECTED language filter on Gaiaonline, a forum for teens and youths. And when I say user-selected, I mean that the user can select from a set of 'strictnesses' on their profile settings.

    There's a point at which you lose family friendliness by treating adults like children and, frankly, the VJ language filter crosses it.

    Said this before. It also makes it near impossible to enforce supposedly unacceptable language in a way that is consistent or which has the appearance of being fair and transparent.
