Topics should never be deleted. Period.

When we can not have conversation and debate on any subject, we are all screwed.

Things are not always pleasant but unless we are able to debate and have our voices heard, we can not move forward.

When people talk, things happen.

I did think of that in the very beginning. haha. that's why I was trippen. Yea.. I also agree, how can you delete a topic in life. You just have to ignore it, if you really don't like it. I mean I can understand deleting the post, but the whole topic. it's crazy

Just keep this in mind. It took a 7 out of 10 vote. I'd rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6.

i guess you could restart the topic. that political discussion could go on forever. it goes so deep. there are things that will never be uncovered. it may not even be conspiracy, just human nature/the nature of power.

that's true lhb... in some ways a petition could be mass censorship

Yes, a petition could be construed as "mass censorship". However, it depends on the focus of the petition.

Devil's Advocate wears thin my friend.

What most don't realise is that there's a serious problem with limiting free speech. The problems don't go away if you can't get them out into the open and discuss them freely.
This may be a dating site and not the best place to debate politics or religion but I'd rather know as much as possible about someone I was hoping to meet or date. I wouldn't want to wake up someday next to someone speaking in tongues and handling any snakes around the house other than my own!laugh Especially if they voted for Georgie!:wink:
Censorship doesn't do anyone any good. If you limit freedoms in any way all it does is keep things simmering below the surface until it explodes. Better off to have people let off some steam once in a while without fear of persecution rather than having to suspend or ban individuals.
We're all better off knowing who's who right from the beginning, no holds barred. One way is to let them speak their mind.:wink:

"Censorship doesn't do anyone any good."
i would have to disagree with that in certain cases, but in general i agree with you.

I didn't delete anything.. I voted to keep it.. I barely ever delete a post unless it is entitled "Any hot ladies/guys wanna chat? I am looking for someone to get with to show me things" That is ridiculous posts.. I vote to delete those silly things...

Sigh.. you have alot of built up aggression my friend.. chill.. life isn't fair.. but once you learn to accept it.. you will be a happier person.. and even though our economy might suck.. there are countries in which their inflation is way over 100%... so.. be happy lol..

HELL! Harry! Thats the most I've seen you write in ages!!

Spot on that man!

I think that a lot of people forget that this is primarily a dating site.

The heavy handed debating style of a few of the people on here is actually necessary.

It shows these people for who they actually are.

The censorship of swear words can be overcome. D1ck, fkuc, etc. We have all done it.

I think that the few redneck idiots on here who prescribe to the idea of the real world doesnt exist outside of the tabloids and when they are force fed to believe, and dont question, will eventually take over the site and it will not be a pleasant place to come.

When you dont want to go to a whole topic of conversation because some loud, obnoxious idiot wants to ram his ideas of the world down your throat, when you know they are pasted and copied from another source, then its a sad show.

Bring back masturbating for peace in the naughty chair!

yes, masturbation has its place. However, I'm f*cking tired of some idiot crying "I'm offended" over something I've said in the name of discourse. If this was ONLY a dating site, there would be no forums.

as far as pent up aggression goes. Yea, because I like freedom. I am sure Ben Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and George Washington and the people fighting against the king had some pent up aggression too. You as a writer, should know this better then I do. Sorry I was a retard though.

Hiya Duncandrinker

Gustava, the masturbating for peace idea was something from another place from a long time ago. I wasn't involved but I did get the opportunity to read the aftermath of what wasn't deleted. drinker
