Rules of the Blog
Topic: Blog Rules
Yesterday, I actually had to delete some comments from a participant, and almost banished him from posting here anymore. Then I realized, I had never really posted any blog rules. So, here goes:

Rule #1: Censor yourself if you must curse. Typically, you'll notice on my posts will have a word with a dash in the middle. These words suggest a bad word without being the bad word. Also, you'll notice that the only time I'm using foul language at all is when I'm quoting someone else.

Rule #2: Avoid threats whenever possible. I give a little more leeway on this one, because threats can be interpreted in different ways.

If we all stick to these rules, it will help contribute to the flow of dialogue.

Thanks,
Al

Al,
For someone who considers yourself some kind of "true American", I'm surprised you fell the need to censor, or corrall people who post to your site. You should be happy that people what to share their opinion on your POS website/blog, regardless of their use of language. What about the first ammendment.

Jeff,

Thank you for defending me, but Al is right. In my fervor, I got carried away yesterday and posted some over-the-top things. He had every right to censor me; and truth be told, I'm glad he did.

To answer your question: Al and I believe very strongly in the first ammendment. As long as people don't use it as an excuse to spew immoral or anti-American rhetoric. Text that speaks of communism and/or child pornography doesn't deserve constitutional protection in my book.

Peter,
Thanks for seeing things my way, but actually, I think the Bill of Rights is highly overrated and very antiquated. The fifth Ammendment should especially be repealed. We'd have a lot more criminals behind bars where they belong that way.

Good point, Al.

For that matter, I'm not too crazy about the fourth ammendment, either. Illegal search and seizure? I mean, you KNOW when someone's hiding stuff. Can you imagine? An officer finds ten kilos of cocaine in the back of a negro's car, and the criminal winds up walking because a "proper" search wasn't conducted. Not only that, but that fine man in blue winds up getting freaking CHASTISED for his "failure"!

This is supposed to be America, last I checked.

Hello all,

I have been lurking for a few days. Ans so I feel compelled to ask

p gozinya says "Al and I believe very strongly in the first ammendment"

Are you two a couple or what?

As far as the First Amendment thank god people like you don't get to determine when it is appropriate. It protects peoples right to express whatever ideas they want even if they disagree with your narrow understanding of the universe.

It is ironic that you would talk about spewing immoral rhetoric considering some of the homophobic and vulgar words that you p gozinya have posted on this site.

Actually, Horace, the courts hold us to a "community standard." It is not "people like [me]" who determine what is appropriate, but the members of a community as a whole. THAT is what democracy is all about -- majority rules.

And last I checked, the majority of Americans -- the MORAL majority, if you will -- are hard-working, white Christians, who don't want their children hearing about prostitution, gays, violence, etc. And we can do without the swear words, too.

So put that in your heathenist crack pipe and smoke it.

Horace,
I've got a question for you, and I wnt you to think real hard about it, okay. Why is it that every person who posts on this site feels compelled to ask if Peter and I are a couple, simply because Peter agrees with a lot of my ideas? That's like saying that since you agree with Michael Moore so much, you want to be gay with him, except in that case, it's probably true, so maybe it's not as good an example as I originally thought, but you get my point.

My other thought on this is, when you do this whole, "are you a couple?" thing, you are poking fun at gayness as well, which only proves my point further (view my previous post for thoughts on that subject).

Lastly, I do not spout any vulgarities on this website, and have posted the rules which in turn we are replying to here. I don't feel this is ironic. Ironic is more like what you've posted here, except what you've posted is stupid.

I thought that might be the case, superhaha. I have a feeling you share my opion that Oprah's actually looking mighty attractive these days. She'd probably rank 7 or 8 on my list from yesterday, in fact.
