    this board leans to the right IMO

    I have noticed for the most part some MOds and members lean towards the right a little. I am just a little disgusted that an honest discussion thread about jesus being president was locked when nobody was flaming anyone and there is a 5 page thread still open asking about and professing christianity? WTF, this is just like the equality we are trying to achieve with steroid laws and here we are locking threads that are very good discussions and no rules broken on the thread. Can I just ask why this is fair?

    Dude, right and left have nothing to do with religion. I'm as right as could, but not religious at all.

    There could have been things that could sway or piss off other members in that thread OR it could have been spiriling down to that in which it was locked so it didnt happen. Religion and politics are very touchy subjects with people so if it looks like it may go in a bad direction then it gets locked. Trust me, ive seen it happen b4 where everyone is fine and being respectful, then one jackass ruins it for everyone.

    Every thread that I have witnessed being locked has been offensive/extremely negative/against the rules... to imply that the mods on this board have a political or religious extremest agenda is down right silly...

    im glad you see what i mean, it upsets me a bit that he would lock that thread. It was either an abuse of powers or clear bias to another frame of mind. This are you a christina thread is still going strong though?? WTF

    Just go with the flow, someone with the powers that be didn't like your thread so it's gone. Start a new one of a different subject...your baby is dead.

    btw one of my posts got deleted in the christian thread, I was just stating my views. Anyway the people in charge need to keep everyone happy. If my post pissed people off, I'm glad it's gone.

    im just not on this kiss ass thing, where all my posts are me trying to get the attention of staff so i cn be a MOD like 80% of the people on here, I dont want to be a MOD on a steroid board so I dont go around repeating things like a parrot.I have my own views too, and that was a very good discussion if you saw it like it was intednded, and I dont recall anyone on there being pissed except the one who locked the thread to show everyone he was a mod i guess. I am pissed about the thread being locked only b/c it isnt fair that the are you a christian thread is 5 pages deep and still not locked???? how about that are you a christian thread pisses me off? then what? so only 1 other person is going to step up and say this is BS?

    How about that statement from your other thread that could be quite insulting to some Muslims making the insinuation that Muslims are cultists.... maybe it got locked for your racism here or maybe due to images posted in the other thread clearly depicting jesus in a negative light/making fun of your religion or maybe the mods thought that was offensive either way the insinuation that you pose is rediculous...

    Maybe they thought one religious thread in a steroid forum is enough. The christian thread going on now is pretty popular so ther're keeping it going. After all, we don't want this site to turn into a religious one. Jesus for president? ha ha,lol

    it was meant to show how good people that do good things get caught in the political system, thats all. it was intended to prove a point, what if Borak Obama has the ideals that can change this world right now? its unfortunate that because of the political system things get taken out of context and turned into "this is not PC!"

    i just re-read peoples responses and it seemed like a lot of people understood the parralell i was drawing there, how the political system can take a good man and turn him into a bad person by taking things out of context and playing semantics. I didnt see any need for the pictures in that thread, nor did I post them, but most people were responding with emotional inteligance.

    If you follow the "in the news" forum way more people that are conservative leaning have been banned.

    I reopened the thread... as long as it stays cival it will remain open I did not see a problem with it the title said what it was... as the rules state... I did see where it could have taken a turn for the worse but you all handled it like adults and got back to what the jest of it was... anyway it is open...

    please take a minute to reread the rules and stay within them thanks...

    *admin




    The lounge is just that the lounge and you may talk about what you want any subject...


    Please try to make the title appropriate to know the content....if you see in the title that it is something you do not what to read... do not open it plain and simple...

    you may NOT post links to porn...

    We are adults act like it... there is things we will not always agree with or like but lets agree to disagree...

    No posting of private messages without permission from both parties as it is not fair to either...

    No posting a persons personal info on the board...

    Please enjoy and have fun... and remember to be respectful to others while doing so...

    No bashing or personal attacks... lets have fun...

    one more thing no bashing the system please we do try our best...




    of course we do not want horrible extreme gross things so some monitoring will be needed for the most extreme things but most will understand I think or hope

    people need to make sure that in the title it mentions if it is graphic (not extreme as mentioned) at all or about religon or anything that may be offensive to someone reading it in which case they shouldn't open it...

    who said I'm trying to do anything here except waste time at work. Although maybe your thread was started with the best intentions, the direction wasn't great. It was only a matter of time, but for now looks like its open.

    Yes I could def. see that thread leaning towards the wrong direction in why it was closed. Numerous posts in there that could offend a lot of people and to save that from happening it was closed.

    As Admin stated keep it clean.

    Agree with your concern. There does seem to be recently more tolerance for conservative views than liberal on this board.

    Not dramatic, but just enough to irritate, like with the locking of this thread.

    I definatly wasnt talking about you Krat. and to confirm, my thread was intended for an intelligent discussion. I too was a little preturbed, not offended, by the pictures etc. they have no pupose, i dont like them in any thread unless they really serve a point.


    BTW thank you Admin, I will understand if womeone gets out of hand it will be locked

    Yes I understand why it was locked because it can be ofensive to some and does heat some... as you could tell by the posts that is why it was locked... however we are supposesed to be more tolerant in here as long as it is titled and doesnt get to far out of hand.... come on guys have some fun...

    well he has a point.

    Maybee Bill O'reilly is moderating.

    I would love to see Anthony Roberts on the Bill O'Reilly show, that right wing clown.
