It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

My friend had a minor head injury and his doctor advised him to wear a full face helmet whilst riding his bicycle. The cops pulled him over and he had to show them the note the doctor had written about it. I guess the concern is that if your face is obscured they can't track you down if you commit a crime? Still seems pretty dumb to me.
Cops are just nosy. No justification. They don't like people who look weird. That's how they're trained to think.
I don't know... think seems like the wrong word. Maybe trained to react?
i know a couple and i think bullied is a better word
over here they are sometimes bullied into being a certain way
that has to be UK, it just has to be. the CCTV surveillance state is crazy there. (saying this as a Canadian whose face is recorded probably 200 times a day in my city)
Bingo, it is indeed the UK
What country? That's pretty dystopian.
Almost certainly not.
