It takes a lot to offend me. I see this as more than poor taste. What bothers me is what INGO chooses to keep or excise.
I had to actually look at it for a bit before I understood the "offensive" part. For some reason, I had gone with "he was a bad boy, and got a GIANT lump of coal for Christmas".
I need to work harder at being offended.
You are correct sir. Let us race to the bottom.I understand the reason for the offense, but I heard Representative Sheila Jackson-Lee use a tone of condescending contempt as she referred to all African-American Republicans as "Uncle Toms," so, I don't care. Offense is a two-way street, whether you want to admit it or not.
I agree with you GFGT. I considered the source. That's not what bothered me. INGO's governance for letting this go bothered me. I now applaud them. I don't want to be a scold, but sometimes you have to step up. "I will not hang myself today."I find being constantly offended by poor taste tiring. One of our LEO frequent contributors made a poor taste joke in another thread basically saying God does not exist. Yeah, as a Christian, I could claim offense to that but I consider the source and move on. Maybe if we all did more of that there wouldn't be all these pissed off people wanting to shut each other down.
Really...? We're trying to get the FUNNY PICTURE THREAD locked over this???
