Post by: Eupher on August 26, 2017, 02:35:57 PM: Didn't there used to be a policy of including a photo on "Breaking News" threads, along with up to say 5 paragraphs of the story and related commentary?

Is this what it's come to? Some ****ing prisoner complaining about rotten potatoes in a prison now qualifies as breaking news?

Americans used to believe in free speech.

This site is private property. What do Americans believe about private property?

It's not.

I don't see where you are defending freedom. It seems more like you are the guy standing on the street corner with a 'Repent, the end is near' sign.
