Ed, I must say I disagree with you. <br /> <br />Old Dad pulled a Kevin Special.. He read the post in the wrong manor, and reacted in a fashion which I would have done myself, and have done so in the past. <br /> <br />I did it at Dan too! And to this Day, I remain greately sorry for doing so. No, I shouldn't have jumped on him like that.. Just like Old Dad openly admits he shouldn't have. Because of that incident with Dan and I, I now wait at least ONE HOUR to respond to controversial posts, so I have time to think baout it, and guage my respsonse more corectly, rather then base my response on rage, because that is just like pressing the accelerator and the break Equally, at the same time -- it'll get me no where. <br /> <br />Now Ed what you said may be correct, or not.,. why? Because i wouldn't know what a "DA" was if he bit me in the butt! <br /> <br />But i'm looking at the more Broad sense of this topic. <br />I'm glad it's in the open. I'm glad I REALLY AM. Everyone has a right to voice what they want to say, Now comming From A Canadian Society, honestly, and i'm not going to lie, It took me a while to adapt to the rules on this site. <br /> <br />However, this topic Does not deserve to be closed. <br /> <br />I formulated this example.. <br /> <br />Each Thread is like a painting, It's a work of art that took time to develop. Now let's say this painting was posted inside a museum, and it depicted.. Uh something Really controversial. Imagine in your own mind soemhting Really controversial.. <br /> <br />Does that mean someone has the right to walk in and take it down?? <br /> <br />In Canadian Society, Were all taught that if we don't like what we see: <br /> <br />Walk faster <br />Change the channel <br />Overt your eyes <br /> <br />and attempt to forget, if you don't like it, what you've seen. <br /> <br />were also taught, Don't complain about what you see, because it's solely your choice that landed you there in the first place. <br /> <br />If i decide to watch Sex Tv, And then write a letter and complain about what I saw.. My complaint would have no Backing whatsoever. If i was really offended, That is why a remote is there. <br /> <br />If i decide to go to an art gallery (God, no) and see some crazy crap, and decide to complain.. My complaint wouldn't stand a chance in hell. <br /> <br />Thats the Canadian way we looma t things, Now trust me, I know it's different in the staes, why..? They don't have Sex Tv.. And i'm not necesarily saying it's a good channel for five year olds to watch. and i'm not necesarily saying that I like that channel. <br /> <br />Waht i am saying is that, I don't have a right to go to the Sex Tv studio and blow up their things which they use to Broadcast an image so they would stop Broadcasting <br /> <br />I don't have the right to go to an art Gallery and destroy a Leud painting of some naked woman. <br /> <br />I don't have a right to offer the Statue of David a free.. yikes. lets not go there. <br /> <br />But your all syaing, that someone has a right to decide weather your threads are socially or unsocially unfit for public display? <br /> <br />I know if it were Trains.ca.. i could complain to the people who own .ca and tell them that someone was canning my freedom of speech by erasing my threads, and they would then come under the Gun. Because up here Freedom of speech is like the right to bear arms, everyone does it / has one. <br />
