Hey now! Grrr...

oh my god..sorry for the shit storm...I did post it in the wrong place..I wasn't very nice about it...I promise to think before I post again..I'm a douche

Well you apologized and seem sincere, so apology accepted, and no hard feelings on my part. I hope everyone else feels the same.

By the way, I think it's funny that the thing is supposedly offensive because it's a political figure being portrayed. Does that mean it's fine if it's a random person nobody else knows?

and yes I would have found it offensive regardless of the subject

Ok, good to know. In the sense that it's an individual who other people care about (no matter how dishonorable a person I may see them as) I can understand why it can be seen as offensive.

but there i s only one honorable thing to do...cancel myself....

Not sure what you mean, but I can't help but think it sounds a little extreme.

Yeah, I was picturing Slainte hitting the Delete button and *POOF*

Now that people have apologized and gone back to their kind ways:
Please stop throwing the word censorship around. It sounds like some people actually believe using the word makes some kind of important political statement. There are people around the world who are killed for speaking their minds. Censorship is a tool used by tyranical governements to suppress their people. People, such as journalist, artist and musicians, have to flee from their native lands to avoid censorship. I just feel like someone bringing up a point about something they find offensive has little to do with censorship. It is about one's opinion. I think an avatar of any exploding head is gross: my saying so is not censorship. Censorship would be if you were denied a job or schooling or a safe life because of your avatar. Think about it: your avatar and how people feel about it is very trite and insigificant in light of real issues in the world. I don't care about your purposefully shocking head. I remember being young and doing things just for the sake of doing them. So what.

I hope Slainte doesn't leave. All opinions are good. I hope JustAnotherLonelyGirl keeps her spongebob avatar (I also hope she finished her college applications). I hope I can stop getting huffy and offended as if my opinion matters to anyone but me.

However, please calm down about issues like censorship unless there is truly something at stake. Really. Come on, now. I'm just sayin'. In my opinion. etc. etc. etc. Most-Condescending-Post-Ever... "shut up, gogo!"
"why don't you make me?" "I don't make trash; I throw it in the sewer!" "Well, I'll be sure to say hello to your family when I'm swimming around in the sewer..." "gogo, you're so stupid." "Yeah, I know..."

hahaha that made me smile


oh, and i think it would be sad if slainte left just because of my avatar and this whole silly discussion. i don't have any hard feelings, because i know at the end of the day everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and i respect everyone's opinion greatly.

All opinions are good. I hope JustAnotherLonelyGirl keeps her spongebob avatar (I also hope she finished her college applications).

this is completely off topic. but i always wondered what would happen if the people in the movie "IT" would just simply walk away from the clown. he doesn't seem to do a lot of chasing.

Thats because he was in their imaginations, he was their fears, kinda like Freddy Krueger, can't run from that dude.

I guess I can't explain it too well.
