Why is it....

[eakers]

everybody has different thoughts and ideas and thats why you feel criticized (or however you spell it)
not everybody is going to agree with you.
i mean there wouldnt be much of a discussion if everyone felt the same now would there?

*kat. <-- doesnt let ppl get to her.

If you post opinions against the norms and morales of soceity, expect to get abused for it. I mean, if I started a thread saying, &quot;This is just a question, not my opinion, but do you think rapists shouldn't be sentenced for their crimes...&quot; I would expect to get flamed... If you're coming up with these topics, your obviously think there is some merit in them. DOH!!! Some people!! :|

 

[Pretender]

It was a valid question, and I don't see the harm in it. Just as asking if you would like to pull the plug on someone who's going to be indefinately in a coma in the hospital, asking whether retards should be kept alive and supported is a valid question, and if you can't handle it, I think it may be time to grow up and enter reality. This is a tough world, and unfortunately every minor upsetting detail can't be hidden or shielded from you, especially on a public place like the internet. If you don't want to deal with it, maybe you should go watch Barney tapes instead of responding irrationally.

Oh yeah Pretender, real fvcking valid!!! NOT!! Do we kill people because they aren't as smart as the next guy? Because they are blind? Because they are missing a hand or a foot? They are a human being for crying out loud, a real person! Just because they are born 'perfect' it doesn't mean they have to die for it. They might be different, but they are still human!

Apparently not, George Dubya is still alive.

Sorry, I had to throw that in

 

[Pretender]

This is not the time and place for the retardation argument, I'm simply stating that he might've had a valid point that was worth arguing over, not making attacks on his persona and somewhat ignoring the topic altogether based on their preconceived beliefs.

Vi_edit:



<< what else did you expect posting a topic like that? >>



Answer: An intellectual conversation, which really did take place untill the flaming began and then every post became a flame and I haven't heard the end of it.

To the rest of you, had I not posted, it probably wouldn't have been an intellectual conversation, it was either Elledan or I that posted and there was valid arguements on either side of the debate. My intention with that thread wasn't to create enemies, which has happened, That is why I'm choosing to leave, If you can't accept other peoples opinions, then it kind of defeats the purpose of the ATOT... Most of the posts on here are either polls or your opinion on a news event. It's really a waste of time, for the time that my thread was up, I had a great time with it, I loved getting into an in depth debate, I'm sorry that it was the subject that it was, but allot of thought went into each post, if nothing else, just by the length of each post. I'm no longer sure if I'm going to leave with the known fact that people want me to stay just for having the balls to post such a controversial topic knowing the fact I'd get flamed. If they're not behind me for the Subject matter I'm glad that they're behind me just because I had the balls to do it. So thank you, you've managed to keep me.

Uhhh...anyone here who thinks they have it bad when it comes to getting personally attacked for their views on other things, like, oh say, music , obviously does not know what it is like to be Deeko.

 

[Pastore]

deeko, you listen to boy bands, noone takes you seriously anymore... hehe

 

[hpkeeper]

hehe... I think he has bigger balls than me then.

 

[Yeeny]

Deeko: Your one of the people I was defending in that thread....

Kidding, of course. Hey, I like NSync too...

 

[GreenBeret]

The world is grey. Not black and white. Some people compare white to grey in their arguments... *cough* DaLeroy *cough*

It could have been a intellectual debate about grey... not an inferno.
