Okay okay, let's take a second here and actually talk about the thread.

William, the reason you've received so much negative criticism isn't because you've got an opinion. It's just that this is a Minecraft forum, and we see no reason to focus on politics. Now personally, I'll discuss politics with anyone. However, this is because I enjoy friendly, informed discussion regarding politics. Therein lies the problem with the post, it doesn't encourage discussion. It encourages argument, which is the exact thing we aim to avoid on the forums.

From your post we can conclude you're very right-leaning politically. That's fine, we're all entitled to our own preference, I myself am a moderate. However, there's a much better way to encourage discussion, and these forums aren't the best place to have it. However, that's simply my opinion. Please respect that many will disagree with your opinion!

EDIT: If William changed his post, I apologize. I'm responding to what I saw, which was his post about Obamacare.

This wasn't about politics, he edited that!

OP changed content?
Before it was written: "How did you found thread" or something like this.

Posted from IE, because Firefox derped - illegal character in thread title or something.

Duly noted! However, now that he's changed the post to be about politics, it's just as logical of a reason to have it locked.
