    I just hate how stuff gets censored! As long as someone isn't writing anything *illegal*....I love reading people's opinions...especially if they clash with mine or are controversial...Idk. It's just interesting!

    Agreed. Plus they give me an interesting glimpse into society at large.

    I love reading them also because I need to develop a well rounded view of people where I can put my own values aside and learn to tolerate other viewpoints, especially due to the field I am going to be working in (nursing).

    I think they should eventually be locked down but not deleted because they are a fun read :smile:

    I just disagreed with the title to someone elses post and I posted my disagreement and feeling it was inappropriate but still I don't think controversial posts should be deleted. We all have a right to our own opinions.

    This, I love seeing people express their opinions rage etc even if I am the one raging sometimes.

    No.
    We are all 18, the mods need to treat us as such.

    If you can have an opinion without personally attacking the person, then yes. But if your opinion is "Yeah well, your opinion is different from mine. YOU SUCK!"

    Then that's not fair and should be deleted.

    Agree!

    One time I asked a question on a forum post and got SLAMMED for it. Slammed slammed slammed. People were jerks. And the topic is still up as far as I know...just locked...It made me wonder...why did that thread stay up but others get deleted? I wonder what their criteria in terms of locking/deleting is.

    If they were all deleted, I'd have absolutely nothing to keep me entertained all day.

    Some people just can't handle the heat that they bring upon themselves. They know it's coming. And the mods are like "*kitten*..This again? Delete." Nobody posts something asinine and expects positive results. Maybe they're new to the internet..

    Only if they violate the forum guidelines and rules, which most of them do.

    I have chosen to ignore them now. It's crazy. Although it is a good way to weed people out.

    I see the same thing here as on fb or comments under any given article....hate hate hate. Get a group of humans together and it doesn't take long before moral superiority takes over and the list of who to hate and why starts. lol.

    Sadly, a moderator is going to come here and shut down this thread because this thread criticizes the policies or practices of the mods.

    How do I know this? Because I started a light-hearted thread about the same topic and it got shut down. No strikes.

    No, people should be allowed to have opinions either way and express them.

    This. I've always lived by the theory that you can't really understand what you stand for unless you make an effort to know the other side. I'm very opinionated, but if it's a topic that I'm not especially familiar with, I like to get both sides of the issue, instead of just reading "Your opinion doesn't matter because it's different from mine." That's not a good argument.

    I spent an hour reading the last thread.....that's an hour that I could have gotten off my rearend and burned a few calories. Now I feel foolish and I'll never get that hour back again.

    The way I see it, it's our constitutional right to express our freedom by opinion, whether the majority or minority agrees with it or not, it should not matter. We're constantly shut down or ''looked down upon'' for expressing opinions on touchy subjects. Its absolutely ridiculous since we're supposed to have freedom of speech ... yet thats what John Lennon was murdered for..just because his values and opinions were different from the ''norm'' ... rip lennon.. :)
