WTF happened here, my new comments are all flagged as dead, why???

I swear I have nothing to do with anything you are implying, why should I reply with a different account when I could have used this one? and BTW my comment had positive upvotes!

And failing at that is something no politician can survive.

smoking in public places.

alcohol sold to minors.

unlicensed doctors.

guns.

hard drugs.

tanks as private vehicles.

old polluting cars.

the list is endless.
