5. WHAT I SAID WAS THAT THE BOSSES WERE TOO FUCKING PREDICTABLE YOU IGNROANT LITTLE TURD FART. Before you make a counter argument, at least understand what I am arguing in the first place.
...yeah. I think there is a fine line to draw somewhere. The one thing I don't think you can safely do in this thread is lean somebody away from making a counter argument.

People need to be more tolerant of opinions they disagree with and people who are offended shouldn't be the ones to end the free speech of others causing the offence to the offended. Noone should retract their opinion if what they said cause offence to those that need to grow a thicker skin unless if said opinion is objectively slanderous (as in, lies that cannot be positively proved, statements made specifically to cause harm to others, and statements made without adequate research into the truthfulness of the statement). As such, I fail to see the hypocrisy of that statement MarioLuigiToadandToad made.

Aside from this, I agree with what you said. I made a list of my Top 15 favorite Geometry Dash songs and people were telling me "wtf man, you forgot this song" or "you like that song, you have no taste"

What is wrong with people -__-
Turtwig, though the wording of his is rather poor, he wasn't specifically insulting that person to go fuck himself, let alone putting forth a cautionary statement on what is to be expected of his behavior. What is not expected is that a salty individual shuts down a conversation because oh we are supposed to give a fuck about how he feels when we communicate with one another yet that salty person gets his way without resistance. This is why I fail to see the hypocrisy.

Some more unpopular opinions:
- Moral dissonance should be practiced in more situations.
- I honestly will say that our Western ideals should be pushed to nations that do not readily accept them.

Ok, this really got out of hand. I already handed out two warnings, so drop the heat in the argument before I hand out more.

This goes for everyone. Be more respectful and considerate with what you say. I have the right to end this topic altogether if we can't respect each others' opinion.

I honestly hate it, as I feel that imperialism usually leads to war like it did in Iraq and with Isis. We Americans always have to have a say on things and I honestly believe that we don't need that on the world. America isn't that important.

Ok guys..I edited the post. I'm sorry I offended you guys, and I promise I won't do that again. But for real? That was what you guys payed attention to? A rude curse that wasn't necessary for me to say? Yeah, it was unnecessary, but you guys are overly sensitive. That's the problem with people today. I shouldn't even need to apologize. But I offended all you all, and that was wrong of me to do. I had no intentions of spreading hatred or expressing hatred to person I don't even know. I just added that out there because it was possible.
But I was issued a board warning, so I guess I messed up. I'm sorry once again, but seriously, STOP. PAYING. ATTENTION. TO. LITTLE. THINGS.

Apparently "IGNROANT LITTLE TURD FART" isn't rude at all, so instead of cursing I'm just go ahead and say that. *roles eyes*

And if you're going to call some one ignorant, don't spell "ignroant" ignorantly.

Actually, he did get a warning for doing that. Just saying.

This is going to be a hard thing to say...forgive me for any rough edges and if I sound like im some sort of conspiracy theorist.

Imperialism was a necessary evil in this world in spite of its double-edged sword status. Economically, because capitalism goes in conjunction with it in order for our own nations to continue to prosper, we wouldn't be where we are today without it, which is being global players to this world's commerce. It has also allowed former third-world nations to determine their own infrastructures that is sustainable for the 21st century with regard to foreign relations as much as I do condemn the historical means to achieve that end imperialism has sowed. Culturally, it allowed for an open exchange of knowledge of different cultures...appreciation and criticisms of each other's culture that comes with the exchange, as much as it created stereotypes at it's extreme.

As for your others posts, I apologize if I haven't gotten to them sooner so:

How do these go together?
Though I was primarily getting some from another forum I visit that I may have similarly posted, I will say on how they go together is that free speech also allowed our current so called "progressives" to say whatever indoctrinating rhetoric they want that is not necessarily good for those they oppose what they want, with less impunity considering that they have more influence due to the fact that more pulpits are available to them.

Also something I don't want to do but I have to say this:

TNTimelord, he was only apologizing for his actions. Its not right to still be mad at him when to others that if he had taken no corrective action, he would have been worse off in this community. I would have done the same thing he did if I know I have messed up.

He did more than simply apologize, and I think that's what TNTtimelord was referring to. If it was only an apology, I think TNTtimelord wouldn't have responded the way he did.

Now im going to argue on something else...how a whole bunch of you conflate a rational response with not dropping an argument. Or any moral statement. (Double as an unpopular opinion within this community)

Another unpopular opinion I have to state is this: If one can gain the most influence, they may have to use unconventional tactics.
Another: TV stations really sensationalize news just because of their political ideologies ahead of finding the objective truth.

Let's all drop it after this.
I messed up.
I didn't know I messed up.
I didn't mean to mess up.
I'm sorry for messing up.
I think you guys where over reacting to my hypocritical and rude cursing mess up.
Nevertheless, I offended you guys for messing up, and that was mean of me to do. I didn't mean to be rude, and I don't like to be rude. Apparently I was rude, and I feel bad for being rude, considering I don't hate this person, and I don't have a reason to.
Again. I'm sorry.

Now let's get back on topic.

I believe Cannabis should be legalized. I think weed should be legalized for medical and druggy reasons. This would make cannabis look less "cool" to smoke because and expose the stupidity (as if it wasn't obvious it's stupid already) of what Cannabis can do to a person, and show all the other stupid teenagers my age and above that weed is as just as dumb as smoking and all the other drugs in the entire universe. I also think it would increase tax revenue by ALOT here in the US.

That's actually true: most TV news stations are totally biased towards one party.
