half my games are aborted because of my flag

So why you say sumthin if I get to react and all the stuff huh?

yeah sure give me 5 downvotes and three thumbs down reacts with an exploding head emoji, I don't care.

Well, good for you, but you care enough to react to my own reaction, then claim I've got the right to react, which your own reaction to my reaction tends to deny. Is nonsense.

I haven't reacted to any of your posts besides respond to a comment you made. A comment, to which I disagreed with.

I'll keep reacting to the ongoing aburdities of the people within the time I live in. Years ago it was other topics, but the foolishness remains the same. Yesterday righties denied speech to lefties, now lefties deny speech to righties, and in the middle, people are driven nuts and take side for things they know nothing about. Feh, it's nauseating.

Nobody's preventing you from reacting to others online, wtf?

You don't get it. You may re-read and try to figure out. Or not.

I'll try to clarify nonetheless: you can't claim one has some right to do a thing, then jump on their back, even verbally, every time their try to exert that right. It does set "social pressure" on pipl's liberties, you both claim they have, and then tend to suffocate by posting against their reactions, with negative comments upon the fact they only reacted.

And in case you would want to believe social pressure is no biggie, I got beaten up so many times out of it, I can't count anymore. yeah it's illegal, but guess what, cops are not always around, and proving anything to justice, when you're poor, is most of the time a battle lost in advance. I'm only mentioning that, in order to underline, social pressure is no small thing.

sure, ok

Don't worry matey, I'm so old now, it matters not anymore.

I'm about old like that guy:

There's never ending debate in geo-politics! For me? I will DO whatever it takes.. even I don't feel like it (example: exercising but its good for me) to improve myself in Chess!

Just play Chess guys.

Every time half of the planet is against and the other half is for, one must admit a debatable thing is going on.

And if it's a debatable thing, one should be prudent with taking side, out of what can probably be considered like incomplete and/or biaised informations upon the topic.

What makes me furious, is to see people take side, literally out of nothing much, without, of course, trying to take a trip to any place and try to talk to people involved in the story.

Man oh man, when is it you guys will learn to be cautious with the very instrument that turned common folks in Gemany into nazis?

It is a shame that we as a species must always choose conflict over peace, and I think it's wonderful you are proud of your country, we all need to be more like that. Unfortunately that's not uncommon, even chess.com decided that Russian players couldn't display their countries flag! And that all started because violence was chosen over peace! I'm sorry to hear we're not learning from our mistakes and still widely mistreating those we disagree with.

And Hamas attacked Israel out of the blue and took hostages, the following retaliation was swift and brutal just like any war. That's no ample cause for discrimination of the people on any side. Do you think every Russian individual agrees with the war and that's the sole reason they wear their flag proudly?

No, they reacted to the Ukraine joining NATO, just like the USA reacted to the soviet attempt to set ICBMs in Cuba back in the 60s. Yet, their invasion is still unlawfull, regarding International laws.
