...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.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.
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.Turtwig wrote:StrikeForcer wrote:To be fair, MarioLuigiToadandToad has a point. 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"MarioLuigiToadandToad wrote:RULES:

What are your views on imperialism? Not being sarcastic, I really want to know.StrikeForcer wrote:- I honestly will say that our Western ideals should be pushed to nations that do not readily accept them.
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.AeroMatter wrote:What are your views on imperialism?

Sorry, I also failed to see that. I'm sorry for being hypocritical. I didn't even think about that when writing that.Bomber57 wrote:Mmm, delicious hypocrisy.MarioLuigiToadAndToad wrote: What I'm saying in response to you is my opinion. If you are easily offended, go fuck yourself.
Did you not see me say drop it?MarioLuigiToadAndToad wrote: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.MarioLuigiToadAndToad wrote:Apparently "IGNROANT LITTLE TURD FART" isn't rude at all, so instead of cursing I'm just go ahead and say that. *roles eyes*
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.AeroMatter wrote:What are your views on imperialism?

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.AeroMatter wrote:How do these go together?StrikeForcer wrote: -Not everyone has the right to express an opinion, especially opinions that are slanderous.
-Echochambers lead to repetitive rhetoric and make the conversation take a dark turn.
-Moderators do not have the right to censor someone's argument.

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.StrikeForcer wrote:Also something I don't want to do but I have to say this:Spoiler: show
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)8bitmushroom wrote:Do you guys even know how to drop an argument.

That's actually true: most TV news stations are totally biased towards one party.StrikeForcer wrote: Another: TV stations really sensationalize news just because of their political ideologies ahead of finding the objective truth.
Not an unpopular opinion, really.Zeldamaster12 wrote:Cigarettes are a lot more harmful than marijuana.
