It seems like other countries are trying to actively influence things. Which is good and bad.

And very strange. I wonder if people will actually think, "I better not vote for Trump because these other countries will not be our allies anymore." Or something to that effect.

The UK bans people who practice 'hate speech'. This about THEIR immigration policy, not about influencing us. -- nm - ty97 Jan 6, 09:25 2
- When did you put me on your ignore list? - Spawn Solo Jan 6, 09:28
- It's similar to why Australia banned the abortion protester last year. -- nm - ty97 Jan 6, 09:25
it's not really about influencing the US, it's about 'we don't want this guy here.' - Andie Jan 6, 09:24 5
- I actually don't think I agree with this. I think they are trying to make a point and make it apparent to American voters. How often does Parliament - pmb Jan 6, 09:26 4
  - It could be, dare I say.... both! -- nm - Spawn Solo Jan 6, 09:29
  - Or I guess I should say, it's really about both. They are trying to make a point to their citizens as well. But I think it is intentionally both. -- nm - pmb Jan 6, 09:28 1
    - I just read and it is indeed due to a petition with over 500k signatures. -- nm - Spawn Solo Jan 6, 09:33
  - such a public speaker? who violates their hate speech laws? i don't think it's odd. -- nm - Andie Jan 6, 09:27
It is not uncommon for the UK to ban people for hate speech. -- nm - Spawn Solo Jan 6, 09:23 7
- Interesting. I didn't know this was an active practice for the UK. -- nm - sycor Jan 6, 09:30 6
  - Over there, petitions actually work sometimes. - Spawn Solo Jan 6, 09:32 5
    - They totally should have built that Deathstar too. -- nm - sycor Jan 6, 09:33 4
      - I expect Trump to annouce it soon. - Spawn Solo Jan 6, 09:34 3
        
        Well when the aliens come we will all be wishing it was built. -- nm - sycor Jan 6, 09:36 2
        
        Donald gets his information from smart people, so when ID4-2 hits he will get right on it. -- nm - Spawn Solo Jan 6, 09:37 1
