it is a sad time in the world for sure. when I was young two people could have two different opinions on a topic and that was ok. It seems like todays society doesn't disagree with views anymore....they are offended by them. The real world is going to be very hard for these people. I wish them luck.
Really?
Damn, that bites
are people getting offended or like Nephets stated, are people getting offended because it does not align with his/her thinking?
Remember the good old days when someone got offended they just punched the other guy in the face and it was over with. I miss the old days.
People need to get a grip. Everyone wants your head on a platter now if you speak out against them in any way.
It seems like no one can take criticism whether it is valid or not anymore.
What happened to "sticks & stones will break my bones but names will never hurt me"
All the psychologists have made it an issue now saying it does matter...waaahh... you hurt my feelings and now I'll never amount to anything because you said something mean to me...wahhhh!!!
I say "Suck it up Buttercup!!!"
If people were so offended why would they continue to check the thread in question and be repeatedly offended?
Ppl are not offended by political threads, ppl are getting offended by racist and xenophobic posts.
Just remove the racist ppl and political threads (although can be heated) will not be offensive.
Let me add, that when I say ppl above I mean myself, it is my opinion.
Being we are on the subject of offending people I would like to file a complaint and have all topics on age banned.
One of the members called me old the other day in a thread and it really hurt my feelings.
that's not a difference of opinion....you are old.

I have been asked by a few so I am posting this for clarification.
offended in the lounge?
man have times changed. Racist shit should be done away with, no place for that here.
Understand where you are coming from ADMIN, just shaking head at how soft we all are getting as a society.
can we set up a safe place thread, so everyone can feel safe. ( kidding here)
Euroholic.
Somebody must have forgotten to take their ai.
well I'm offended by anyone who gets offended by what goes on in here in the lounge...I hate racist crap as well but this is the internet people wtf?...but I do get it just the same...
Well just so everyone knows the only one I offend is Nach and on a daily basis.
Yeah now I think about it I had to get on GGR for sexually harassing poor Doc saying he was eye candy.Poor guy may never be the same after something like that.She is such a BULLY :)

true but iv seen the mess many other boards end up like once you let the stupid racist people have their field day. its like flys on shit, more and more gather and post... Iv been blown away at some other forums with comments iv seen and even had put at me years ago. eg. my ex, i mention shes half black. reply "so your saying shes only half bad then?"
if seen lounge and off topic areas make the whole forum look bad.
I am all for no censorship. but only to a degree. a warning then a ban for bigoted racist views should be applied for sure.
but I say let them post, let them make threads, then we see who the disconnected people are and just ban them IMO
ugggg....looks like gramps didn't take his meds again today.
Its really just how you discuss things sometimes.
Extend the "no flame" policy somewhat and issues can be talked about without what would constitute openly racist remarks.
We all have our stereotypes and when discussing certain subjects it's easy to forget we're actually talking about other people, and not just other people's political ideals, depending on how you phrase it.
I don't like censorship about anything really,
but yes I've noticed that in some areas, perhaps we (many of us) should be a little more political correct /PC, because when you stop to think about it,
I'm sure that the issue isn't with other people really,
It's about the perceived idea of some people's culture.
(Which sometimes is what you think, many times not, or somewhere in between)
Shit, enough ranting, I obviously need to go work out now as this pre workout supp seems to be working, my hand ain't fast enough for typing this shit.
Yeah , so , bye! :)
well well well...and lots of likes!...wasnt that veru rude and hateful then? Telling me i should delete all my posts. I am a citizen of this hood. I have rigths. Freedom to speak. I know thats is important for u americans.
Yet, a former Monitor and a Vet tells me to not have opinions at all. But ill get u some day. BG likes me deep inside and i will work myself up to deserve a new title which will make u jealous for the rest of your life.
Btw, i dont think ur back is that great. I said it only to work on my standings.
Pretty sad
a douch bag says what?...listen sil, its obvious you are oblivious to what the rest of us see in your "advise" and your attitude to anyone that doesn't think your a "Norwegian god" of some sort...we are trying to co exist with you here but you give the worst advise..do you even proof read what you write before hitting send?... how about stepping off that huge pedestal you have made for yourself and realize you are just a human being like the rest of us...sure your a big guy but I can get fat too I just wont go around thinking I'm something special or more than I really am...if you want to be taken seriously by anyone beside the newbies how about taking a step back from your "I'm all that" attitude and be more humble...(yea look that word up I know its not in your vocabulary)...otherwise stop stirring the shit, that's all you do and it stinks man...
