It's usualy not smiled apon to post stuff with that kind of language due to some of our members being minors.
I understand what your post is saying and i agree with it, but do not agree with the profanity do to minor members.
Please try to show restarint and forthought in your future posts.

I'm pretty sure I'm the youngest active member, and there's a lot worse coming out of my school (oh and my mouth)  

But I edited it to something more G rated? Or at least PG 13. For all you lurkers out there.

True as that may be profanity is not welcome here.  We get all sorts of people reading our forums; different age groups, backgrounds, religions, etc...  We're going to keep our content appropriate for all of them.

I stand rebuked. My sincere apologies to any Slinging.org member who may have been offended. I wasn't thinking (Obviously!!) Thank you for the edit. Appreciate it.

First, I promise you that you can't find language that would offend me.  I don't think that anyone is making a big fuss.  No one is upset with Greenman and he isn't being reprimanded or punished in any way.  Many of our members, myself included, have occasioally needed a small reminder from time to time that slinging.org is a class act and we intend to stay that way.  It's really not a big deal.

okay - so blanked out word aside. And my personal opinion is that people who frequently use swear words do so because they lack the intelligence and vocabulary to use the correct word instead of just something beginning with F.

Anyway, the storm in a teacup aside - the poster is rubbish. Sorry torc but EVERYBODY has the same freedom to choose what they read and watch and see. Nobody is being forced into anything.
Information is easier to find and access now than at any point in previous history. So if someone choose to be informed - they can be.
If they choose to think modern literature is what you read on the back of cereal packets - that is their choice and right to do so.


Some people prefer apathy to activity - and that's their choice.

It may not be yours, but so what - who should you care what they choose ?

Yeah when I was at college I knew everything, nobody could tell me anything and what I believed was right and what other people believed was wrong.

Fortunately most of us grow up and realise the world is not black and white and that what someone else believes is up to them.
Live and let live becomes something you actually understand the less time you have left to live.

Some people never grow up and insist that their way is the only way.
Don't let that be you

Fair enough. But there is such a thing a "Majority Rules" If enough people are filled with fear, doubt and suspicion, and someone gives them an "Enemy" to focus their fear, doubt and suspicion on, they will give up their rights to a government that promises them a solution. These same people are stupid enough to miss that the government probably came up with "The Enemy" in the first place.

Those of us who do not stupidly accept the reality we are given now have to battle the government and our own who believe the lie, simply because they are too lazy, willfully blind and gutless to stand up for their rights. Easier and more comfortable to give them up instead and sit there and complain.

To me I see Zombies.
