People have the right to be stupid, AND I have the right to tell them so.0

What gives *you* the right to say this? Haven't you ever heard of the first amendment---- or whichever one gives the right to free speech?
<<<trolling>>>>
The First Amendment protects citizens from having their right of expression restricted by the GOVERNMENT, and even then there are exceptions.
Are you people missing the Trolling tag she put at the bottom of this? I think you are. This lady said something funny, just move on.0 -

It seems that with the advent of the internet everyone now has a voice that they think allows them to be outraged by the most meaningless things said or done by someone else.
Anything someone does is probably going to go against the morals or ethics of someone else.
Do they have the right to preach their brand of morality back at you?
Does someone else have the right to try and force what they believe to be good, right and proper on the rest of us, because we see the world differently?
Or, does this just show that person's lack of self esteem, confidence in themselves. When I see this behavior what I see is that the person preaching is uncomfortable with who and what they are. That's just me though.
What are your opinions?
Old saying "One man's poison is another man's food".
Your whining offends me.
Your whining about the OP's whining offends me.

if your religion is not the same as my religion
you are clearly persecuting me, all people like me, and everyone else who SHOULD be like me
by believing differently.
you're not me, so you're WRONG, you stupid Troll.
The beliefs I was raised with are THE ONLY VALID BELIEFS EVER
and i shall practice my first amendment rights spamming you about how right i am
and how wrong you are
and how horrible you are treating me with your non-confrontational different-ness

Respectively, if you put something out there into a open public forum then you open your self upto the critisism or public ridicule and being called on your statement(s) if you want an honest opinion and cant handle the answer you were looking for or wanted to hear, then dont ask!!!!!!!!!!!-Ty, i hold myself to the same accountabilty, in the end you didnt have to post, OWN IT!
False, you can jump on the forums and say a bunch of insane crap and then log off and never check back for responses.
Also- too many people on here have alternate fake accounts so they can get away with saying asperger-y nonsense anyway.0 -
Everyone is entitled to their opinions even if I don't happen to subscribe to what others may or may not believe. Given that the internet is a free market for soapboxes, I would just say that if you happen to disagree with what someone believes or doesn't believe, ignore it. Arguing about the differences isn't going to make someone change their minds.
When I was in high school, I was one of those kids who was always "preaching" for people to come to Jesus and get saved. While I felt that I was doing some good, I wasn't for the most part. People did come up to me later and say that they respected the way that I stood for my beliefs (even when other kids were throwing milk cartons and food and yelling mean stuff).
Later down the road, I realized that me harping on my fellow students wasn't going to make them change their life and love Jesus. It may make them angry or resentful, though. And that wasn't my intention...
Now, I still love Jesus and I talk to people about Him but only when the conversation permits it. I am not pushy. I am not trying to convert every person that I come across. I am hoping that my life will be an example of how Jesus would have treated people. Who knows.
I said all of that to say: People can say whatever they want, we don't have to agree with them and we certainly don't have to argue about it.
Stepping off of my soapbox now,
sam

OP you have a point but if you (or anyone else) see a thread or posts that you consider rude or unnecessary then hit the report button and let the admin/moderators deal with it. Thats how to deal with it if you feel you cant ignore a comment or thread
Topics like this, although started with the best of intentions, only cause more friction on the boards and end up being a moderation nightmare, so, for that reason I'm now locking this thread
At our discretion, this locked thread may be deleted entirely in the near future.
With respect,
