When you registered are you sure you got your parents permission? Thought you had to be 13... fckin immature bitch. I'm not even religious but I cant believe it could take so much effort to understand such a simple concept as this : "MAKING FUN OF PEOPLES RELIGION REGARDLESS OF CONTEXT CAN OFFEND PEOPLE"

 

I find it odd that you all find some smilies offensive yet the "ghey" and TFG smilies you see could never be seen as offensive to people that don't understand that people on here don't think about what they say. They just say it because everybody else is and it's the "cool" thing to do. This isn't the first time I've brought this up, and it doesn't really bother me--I'm just being a PITA because well, some of you happen to be very hypocritical.

 

I am extremely offended by moronic actions of some girls on here.

 

Please explain to me how saying "ghey" and a crucified smiley that represents everything of a religion that a large portion of the US believes in are similar.

That is mocking crucified jesus. I cant believe you guys could hate on me for pointing out that its obviously offensive to some. Very simple. . .


[FYI: the offensive smiley that was removed, was a bloody crucified jesus smiley on a cross- for the newcomers to this thread]

 

i try not to use those smilies often...in fact i think i may have only used the both of them a total of 5 times since i registered. and they were in reference to Kirk and Deek, mostly. i know that they must be offensive to certain people..and i was actually thinking about that the other day...

 

keep it up.

in case you dont know, the majority of this board is atheist. the religion that the large portion of America believes in, is not carried over onto this board, except by very few members. the smilie, while offending some, would have no meaning or value to others...and some actually find it amusing...thats the way HAN is though..

my arguement is...what place would that smilie have had? absolutely none. there wouldve never have been a single thread that needed that in it.

 

And i agree. But what do you think of the poor catholic/christian who wanders into a thread and see's that shit. My guess is that they would be offended. Which is what i was simply stating.

 

Because they're both demeaning to one group or another. They're both offensive. If you won't accept that then you're ignorant. You haven't been here long, so I'll give you a hint: don't argue with me on this, I'll always win.


I don't find it offensive anymore I guess. I complained to a few people and they acknowledged there was a problem but didn't believe that it was big enough to justify deleting it. It's not going to change anything I guess. People would just write out the word "gay" instead" so why fight it? Although it is kind of like having HAN endorse this type of speach but hey, I don't have a say in it I guess. The issue was more like "You find THAT offensive yet THIS smilie has been on here forever and you don't think that could be offensive?" It wasn't meant to say "support gays" it was meant to say "support not offending people, if that's what you're so about."

Oh and don't worry, I know you're a nice person.

 

i noticed no one jumped on me for posting it
i saw it with the other xmas smilies so i decided to post it
some people are offended, some people arent
thats religion for you
i took it out tho

that was unnecessary


guys too, tony
