A biologist, a physicist and a mathematician meet on the terrace of a café and see a couple enter the hotel across the street. A few minutes later, the couple leaves the hotel with a child.
The biologist comments: it's clear, they have reproduced.
The physicist: no, it's simpler than that: 2 people entered, 3 left, except for the error of experience, nothing happened.
The mathematician: do you realize it now only takes one person to enter the hotel for it to be empty?

So nice to be welcomed by so-called patriots. I'm a retired U.S. Marine... I can't believe the racist and hateful BS on this site. So much for one nation under God INDIVISIBLE. I'll take my down votes now. BTW... What is the big deal about upvotes and downvotes? I don't get it... You need votes to facilitate communication and free exchange of ideas? When did free speech become a popularity contest? Commie horseshit in my humble opinion. And for the record, I'm a white Christian, flaming heterosexual male, combat veteran from the South. (I include this info only to indicate that I'm not a fag, n$gger, kike or any other label the abundantly tolerant natives on this site like to sling at the new comers - and that is sarcasm in case you hateful idiots didn't get it.) Gunny out...

"The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter." Churchill
I presume you understand the implications of above quote. That sometimes you have to roll with the bad to preserve the good? Voat with our up and down vote system is very much like that. The privileges of new accounts are slightly lower than the 'made' accounts to prevent garbage that the boards doesn't need. You have to earn your right to post that. If you were a Marine I assume you can relate to that. That privileges are earned and not a right!
Serialbrain2 and the rest of the Reddit mod team burned all bridges with Voat when they tried to rig the game. We do not take lightly with dishonest intentions. Not in our house with our rules. Again as a former Marine I think you'd find that relatable.
But that's on them and then there's you. You are just 3-4 decent posts away from getting the same posting rights as I have, you know. Venture out in Voat and see for yourself and it'll all make sense. Your door is still open with us.
There is no word filter to dance around here btw. You are allowed to say nigger as much as you please.

Greatly appreciate the explanation and the quote is absolutely appropriate. I completely understand rules and the need to screen users, as well as privileges vs. rights. I agree with all of that... I'm just having a hard time with the name calling and lack of civility. I'm far from a delicate flower or prude... Just expected a little more from other "Americans." I try to be respectful of others and thought that maybe others might possibly reciprocate. I didn't have a good grasp on the voting thing and how it relates to info sharing... Screwed that one up! Lol. Thanks again for the explanation and advice! Semper Fi! (And yes, I really am a Marine in a non-active status - a proud retired knuckle dragging grunt)

I don't disagree, but again you have to take the good with the bad. There's just no variation of passing on information without hindrance(the true purpose of free speech) where there isn't some hard counter to it. As things are being called a nigger, kike, faggot or whatever once in a while is a low price to pay in my opinion.
