steve2470's JournalWhen are posts or threads actually deleted, rather than hidden ?
I think the beauty of hiding posts is that they can still be read, if one wishes to. I think deletion is much more serious and worthy of discussion, if people deem it unfair.
Did the corporate media ever interview GWB as intensely as the CBS interview of Obama ?
Perhaps my memory is faulty, but I don't ever remember the corporate media EVER interviewing GWB as "non-softball" as Steve Kroft did with President Obama. I think Obama handled the interview very well. My only point here is, liberal media my ass. I think the bias is extremely clear. Interview ALL Presidents of ALL parties with equal intensity.
Same level of political apathy in UK as in USA or less ?
Thanks once again for your patience with my Yank questions.
I love watching PMQ, moreso than my own Congress. Is the level of political apathy the same in the UK as in the USA or is it less ? I find the PMQ very enlightening about the real differences between Cameron and Labor, etc.
I like the jury feature
I normally lurk or post news articles, and the jury feature helps me feel more connected to the community. I admit, on one post I was too harsh and voted to hide it. I learned from my mistake. I will be much more lenient in the future.
I can see where the jury feature could be abused in theory, but I have faith that the vast majority of DU'ers will take my attitude and really try to assume a "real life" attitude towards the jury duty. My value is towards greater freedom of expression and of debate, and I think the vast majority of DU'ers share my value.
Just my $0.02. Thank you for reading.

"hard-line communists"

I'm not a communist, but as one can see on DU2 GD, this phrase has sparked some discussion.
Any admins care to discuss this ? I'm simply curious.
