Dear members, I really do not want to (temporarily) close this thread due to personal attacks and irrelevant, hateful and emotional debates that keep on going in circles (cf. police thread), but shall not hesitate to do so if deemed necessary. Take a deep breath everyone and let's get back to a factual and respectful discussion.
Thanks.
Thanks for that. I also dont want to it to decend into irrelevant babble. At least not more so than it already has. I was planning on taking a break and then coming back in a week or so becasue i want all foreigners to know their rights and not be harassed by police due to the color of their skin. Many or most of these others absolutely dont want that and therefore wont stop with the aformentioned babble. If they continue when I come back is there any chance of simply removing the messages?
