wtnhunt Posted June 7, 2006 Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 Re: dumb old backwards MS Apparently there is a fine line where maybe some in here consider that a poster is in a way condoning an activity or taking part in an activity. Maybe this is why this particular post has not been locked or deleted yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slugshooter Posted June 7, 2006 Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 Re: dumb old backwards MS I don't think he was saying homosexuality is OK, it's just the fact that any topic regarding alcohol/tobacco has been locked/deleted, and this topic discussing Batgirls newfound gender identity is continuing on.

[/ QUOTE ] No one has said that talking about alcohol or tobacco products was taboo. There is always room for discussion of the woes and dangers of drinking and using tobacco products, if they are discussed in that light, and not discussed in a casual sense. If they are discussed in the right light, with the youth of the forums in mind, then it's fine. Homosexuality has been and is a social and political topic, that isn't going to go away any time soon. There is nothing wrong with discussing how the homosexual agenda is being forced on us, through all types of media. When the discussion takes a turn to casual gay jokes, or glorifying homosexuality somehow, then the thread would get zapped, or someones post might get zapped. Those of you who have been on forums for a while, know, that a discussion can be going along just fine, for a while, until one person makes a post that turns the discussion in the wrong direction. Talking about the dangers of alcohol in front of youth, is a good thing. Taking abut the dangers of using tobacco products is also a good thing. Discussing the moral decay of society, is not a bad thing....is it?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted June 7, 2006 Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 Re: dumb old backward MS I do recall a somewhat liberal minded youngster I think from somewhere in Ga, that we used to see in here occasionally who would not only post about this kind of stuff homosexuality, but also about drugs and do not remember any of his posts ever getting "zapped". Trying to remember his user name. Think times and SOME mindsets of what has and has not been allowed in here have changed somewhat since all the crap from the martin bowgirl ads and other controversial topics that shortly followed kind of kicked off all this. Really is a shame in a way that people can get away from being civil minded and that posts do end up having to be edited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
