In the world of capitalism we are given a choice as to go somewhere else if we don't like it.
You're comment is spot on. That's why on the site I admin on, we moderate so efficiently- that and it's family friendly G-rated too. So we have to monitor it all.

TBG, good thread, it's thought provoking. I suppose there's been times that Times daily wouldn't thank me for my comments. I'd rather though just have fun, and thought provoking- so the last little while, I've been leaving posts that hopefully make people think.
Hope you're all having a beautiful day today. It's definitely a pretty one.
