If time spent moderating this thread remains a distraction from moderation of the wiki itself, the thread will need to be locked. We want to avoid that, so please follow the forum rules

In line with the general forum rules, 'gravedancing' is prohibited here. If you're celebrating someone's death or hoping that they die, your post will get thumped. This rule applies regardless of what the person you're discussing has said or done.

I cant say I agree with this.
But I would chuckle (sorry, I would laugh out loud) if he actually got deported.
It would be like a Monthy Python sketch.
Edit: Of course he is not going to get deported. Besides he is not the first bothersome british guy we try to deport (Lennon I am looking at you!)

You petition has 46 signatures.

Currently Mr.Morgan has made his situation worse by calling for a Gay Marriage 'Amendment' To Bible.

Everything is Possible. But some things are more Probable than others. JEBAGEDDON 2016Currently the 'deport Piers' petition is the third most popular petition created.
The Second most popular petition created is one calling for the Succession of Texas from the Union.
I support both petitions! (not that I think they are right, I just find them hillarious)
Besides Texas leaving the union would ensure total democratic control of the House, Senate and the presidency I would beleive.
All do my favourite so far is: Have Dianne Feinstein be try at federal court for treason.

I got responses on my little encourage-local senators-to vote for pass-med weed bill- project. Both IL district senators had told me they're voting for the medical marijuana bill in January. Sweet stuff huh?
"I don't give a rat's ass about going to hell. I guess it's because I feel like I'm already there." -MugenCan we please stop bringing up the goddamned Texas secession petition? Again, those things can be signed by anyone from any state, and it's been signed by what amounts to a very tiny fraction of the Texas population. (Which is 13 mil last I checked.) It's getting annoying and borderline offensive. There's plenty of stuff to complain about without bringing that up.
I guess that is sweet. Not quite sure how far along my state is going; we get a lot of the cartel crime here so it's difficult for me to gauge how willing the populace and thus our politicians to are to legalize anything. We do have a lot of libertarian and liberal "let people do what they want" going on, (yes, both at the same time, check out Austin sometime) but there's major organized crime issues on our border.

I pity those foreign leaders if Chris Christie ever becomes president.
Michael Moore: ‘Leave Piers alone!’
I read this in that annoying "Leave Britney Alone!" Voice.
