I'm not opinionated about Margaret, I didn't even know who she was until someone called her "the only woman on earth with 'balls'" last year. The H-con kid doesn't have an opinion on her either, so IDK how we're being political about it

Just remember guys if you want to get all opinionated and fired up over Ol' Maggie, take it to the Bus. It's cool for lighthearted discussion, just don't start any rows.

Considering you started listing some points that are very opinionated, and no one else is saying ... anything, I'd say you're being very hypocritical here.

Just my two 1,-NOK.

I probably shouldn't intervine considering I know nothing about the woman, but wasn't what Fab just explained to me what people disliked her for, not an opinion, H-Con? I think he was just answering my question.

Also, he explained everything she's disliked for to me, answering my question completely, I really don't think what he said was biased at all.

I thought it was too long for you to read.

She was oppressive of the Scottish people and Northerners. That's not an opinion, it's fact.

Aye true. At least now people will try to forget her, put the trouble she caused behind them.

To read in whole is not to read (or skim, whatever) the first several lines bro :)
Tl;dr implies that you didn't read the text.

Are you really that scared of some heated discussion? My problem with referring to the bus is that is where discussion goes to die. I was a lot more active in the similar forums earlier, and everyone knows that any discussion around certain big topics are pretty much pointless, as there is no budge in either part whatsoever. That's what have essentially killed of that entire section, no one bothers anymore. I know I certainly don't.

Also, he explained everything she's disliked for to me, answering my question completely, I really don't think what he said was biased at all.

Oh come on, see:

That's not an opinion, it's a fact

I don't bother debating that (mostly because I don't give a fuck about British politics at the moment), but certainly from a Scottish perspective, the negative sides from that could easily overshadow other things (that I don't care about) and create a bias to make her seem like a worse leader than she was.

Also, while I'm no fan of a lot of the financial sector at all, that paragraph was reeking of opinion and you know it.

When Obama and Bush the younger die is what I'm definately scared of. Two of the most devisive presidents in US history.

The internet will literally go up in flames.

Urban Dictionary: tl;dr

^this is usually what people mean by tl;dr. And since English is my native language I can catch the gist no matter how little I read.
Why would English being your native language decide how quickly you catch the gist? English isn't mine but I tend to understand things pretty quickly.

@H-con; My apologies, I misunderstood you the first time.

Do you not know of Andrew Jackson and Woodrow Wilson? lol.

@Guin: It would have to mean as a native speaker, I would generally catch it even faster as I use it even more often and my thoughts generally revolve around it.

I figure it's a good idea to read the entirety of a post when responding to it. Might catch more subtle points in the text that you wouldn't when you skim through it.

Then again I pretty much got through college by skimming everything xD nobody wants to read pages and pages about contractual law xD

I wonder if we'll even have the Internet as we know it when either of those presidents die.

Skimming is a skill I've yet to acquire, I can waste time in class reading the entirety of something when we're meant to be skimming. I get told off for it quite a lot.

I don't think I'll even come online when either of those presidents die.

They are already dead, and Woodrow Wilson is one of the 5 presidents I admire.

I think a racist is a racist no matter how far he goes to try and advance the country's interests. Which is why Lincoln being revered as a liberator is something historians frown upon.
