I think we need to all become a tad more open-minded.

Not naming any names, but many have become very... aggressive... towards alternative views.

Why don't you go read the morely hotly debated issues of recent times? Then you'll understand what I mean.

That's why I don't even interfere in the political threads.

Chill, I was taking your own advice. Reread your first post, you can't tell me that second line makes it sound like you like to lead an 'alternative' lifestyle.

I was rather hoping we could get together for some hawt buttsecks later...

Yeah, I got the post but I didn't want anyone mistaking its meaning - and going on a flamewar.

he's right though the other day someone disagreed with me, and the most constructive way they could do this was posting 7 or 8 pictures saying shut the f*#k up. not very constructive if you ask me(seeing as it was the debate section) but hey monkeys it seems can type so we'll just have to ignore them and continue with the people that dont drag their knuckles on the floor

After getting some good conversation going in the last pages of the Atheist thread where noobs aren't like "God is weakness" and "You fail at beliefs" I was starting to feel good that despite differing views, we users are more alike than I believed but one thread in particular has semi ruined that for me through 3 users who have destroyed my newfound trust in the other members.

I think Bubbalo is crazy, and i have never agreed with him about anything, but I really surprised when the ban topic was posted.  How do you have a D&ST forum when anyone who has a differing point of view is banned?  Everyone agreeing is boring.

There's a difference between simply having a different point of view and knowingly posting a tasteless thread (on December 7th of all dates) with the sole intent of trolling and starting a flame war. IRONCHEF got himself permabanned for that reason.

Really?  That is crazy in my opinion.  I live in a country where even dumbasses like the KKK have a right to argue what they believe.  If you don't want to argue with them, YOU JUST IGNORE THEM.  They should still have the right imo.  It is pretty easy to ignore someone online.  Even lunatic Aussie's deserve freedom of speech.

Guess what, buddy? This is an internet forum. Freedom of speech doesn't exist here. Don't use the KKK to justify trolling and sparking a flame war. That analogy is idiotic at best.

I am going to back Fancy up on this.  There is a line, when you disrepect people that is different then having  different view.  One of the linked post on the ban post, shows that he was just trying to disrepect people.  He placed hijackers from 9/11 on a list to honor the freedom fighters in Iraq.  Other then the 9/11 caused the Iraq war, they have nothing in common.  He should have just titled the thread, lets honor the terrorist of 9/11.

Also, I was the one that started the post, and you can tell that I have taken a lot and seen a lot of abuse/disrespect in the DS&T thread.  I have even had a very good debate with Bubbalo, because he had a different point of view.  I created the ban post because I think that he crossed the line, and it was not a difference a point of view, but disrepect.

Amazingly, you are actually proving Bubbalo's point.  How embarrassing for you.

Watch a video of a KKK parade sometime.  You don't think they are "trolling" for a reaction?  Trying to cause a problem?  But you know what, at every parade they are protected by armed policemen.  No matter how inflamatory and ridiculous people are, they have a right to speak their mind.  If the analogy still eludes you, read a fucking book.

Maybe freedome of speech doesn't exist here.  That is too bad.  It would be nice if people were secure enough in their own beliefs that they could let others express theirs.

This whole thread is proving Bubbalo's point.  That dumbass must be smarter than I gave him credit.

Yep...  and Bubbalo was collateral...  Although admittedly, I can't say I feel sorry for him.
