Censorship of the Communist thread.

[Jack Napier]

"keep your mouth shut you havent earned the right to complain". I think your forgetting that this is America. Paying 1 in 24 Americans to spy on one another will not improve anything in America. It doesn't really matter though because the House through it out of the Homeland Security plan. For your information it isn't all about what the President/Vice President wants he wants to do. Clinton actually wanted to go in and take Osama out, but the Pentagon wanted it carried out full scale.


Why was the last thread closed?

Explain.

The Pntagon does not tell the The President of the United States/Commander-in-Chief of the U.S. Military what to do. In fact, its the other way around. If he wanted to "take Osama out" then all he had to do was tell the military to go get him (OK thats a simplified version, but I made my point).

Ok the last thread was locked because in the forum rules we are not supposed to discus religion politics and what not because those topics lead to bad Karma this one will be locked as well im afraid
*EDIT* just read Clinton comment Ok clintion never wanted to do anythign with the Military that didnt distract the publics Eye from something he screwed up. This is the kind of bad karma i was speaking of

Geez, do we have to go through this ordeal every stinking time? It was locked for obvious reasons. Read the rules. And besides those rules apply to the other forums, with FC we reserve the right to lock/edit/delete threads for any reason... of course we don't go on a whim, we do for good reasons.

This is a privately owned board. There's plenty of boards on the internet where you can talk about touchy subjects all you want... but not here.

Now dont get me wrong Miscue, you can do whatever you want, but i just do not think a discussion regarding Communism(an almost dead way of life) or the Nazi's(gone too) could make anyone upset?? I do however think whoever posted this thread obviously is newer and wasnt around for the whole "you dont have freedom of speech on AO thing, because it is privately owned."

I have one question though, is it legal?? Honestly, if you had a private piece of land or something where you held slaves, it doesnt matter, the constitution still overrides the "private property" thing, and this server is located in delaware i believe?? I am not trying to cause problems i just do not see how the privately owned forums rules can override some of the nation's rules and not others.

Warning, no cussing.

Now, I know you've been warned already. Next offense = ban. -Miscue

ThePatriot... read a book or something to answer those questions if you haven't figured this stuff out by now.

You tend to argue for the sake of arguing. Quite frankly, the professional victim routine that you pull all of the time is annoying.

Discussing Communism and Nazi stuff couldn't make people upset? These are emotionally charged subject matters with a long, ugly history. Wake up, and quit playing the stupid game... you know better, you're just trying to stir things up.

Knock it off.

ThePatriot:

I think you are missing the point. AO is a private forum for the discussion of paintball and other non-controversial topics. Its not about legal, its about keeping things friendly and fun. The rule against the controversial topics is there to keep it that way. If you feel the need to discuss that sort of thing, there are other forums where you'd get more interesting and varied opinions.

You wouldn't go to a political forum and start a topic about level 10 mags, would you?

[ThePatriot]

Listen, im not trying to stir things up, i was merely trying to get an answer to something i didnt know. Isnt that the best way to go about something? Asking?? Isnt that we are all taught to do, ask a peer before researching? I am sorry for thinking, from now on i will just be a good American and do whatever i am told to do, regardless of how I might see the topic, or feel on it.

Fine, you will obviously never agree with me because you have to uphold AGD's rules, and of course I know no one is going to ever actually change the rules AGD has here regarding what can, and cannot be said, its just not worth it. However, in principle, what I am saying makes perfect sense, you argue AGD pays for this, so its theirs, well if a man said he paid for land, therefor he can beat his kids up on it, that would never hold in court. I should have realized this isnt a major issue, its one of those exceptions to the rules because its better for everyone, or else this place would be a gigantic mess. However, in principle you should be able to say anything you want.

I am sorry AO for being dumb and somehow offending you all by bringing this up, apparently it is I who are twisted in my thinking and you are all correct.





Sorry for the whole principal thing, i just realzed why I have been like this. I am reading The Theory of Everything by Steven Hawking right now and its about the creation of black holes and the universe and such and it talks alot about principles and theories. The real world is not always based upon principles, the real world isnt perfect.

Sure! its legal! And Delaware.net is a private company too. And not only is it legal is a darn good idea too.

Hey, im just going by what i am being told by the good moderators here at AO.

There is a time and place for things. That is the simplest way to think of it. You can scream (insert your favorite type of music) lyrics in the privacy of your own car, but you wouldn't do it in movie theater when the movie is playing. Even though there may or may not be a rule against it, it is annoying just the same.
