Beastialty, incest and violence. Bah, they could avoid such charges of indecency if only the publishers labled it fiction.

Sever 05-17-2007 02:43 PM

Bit slow off the mark today...

That was a bit under the belt...

Klorox 05-17-2007 03:42 PM

Under the belt? It's downright offensive.

Firestormalpha 05-17-2007 04:14 PM

I'm thinking it's either borderline or right into the whole taboo on religious discussions, I do find that offensive, and would appreciate it if the images were removed please.

Bungleau 05-17-2007 04:21 PM

Yep... a bit off the mark, Johnny. It is what's being debated in Hong Kong, though... as Klorox' link at the start indicates, back when this thread was more focused.

It's a bunch of anti-christian crazies trying to stir up trouble, of course it's offensive... it was designed specifically for that purpose.

I like it!

Ivelliis 05-17-2007 05:27 PM

Ditto LoA, but I also found that video about the angry pirate/donkey punch funny...

johnny 05-17-2007 05:46 PM

Well, i'm not out to insult anyone if that's what everyone's getting at here, i just like to poke fun at things, wheter it's religeon or whatever doesn't really concern me. I'm not deleting anything, i leave that to the mods. I'm sure some of you already hit the "report post" button several times just like you did with the Lego pic the other day. Some people take offense on just about anything. :rolleyes:

Firestormalpha 05-17-2007 05:59 PM

Joke's are all well and good, but if someone takes offense, you might consider at least making good on the issue, whether offense was intended or not.

That you refuse to edit the post, implies that the offense was indeed intended and that you have no remorse whatever for causing it.

I'll delete it if one of the mods or Ziroc tells me to, not sooner. Like i said, some people take offense on just about anything, the Legopic was just another example of how long some people's toes can be.

At least i got people posting again, it was too damn quiet here. :D

Now you're accusing me of intentionally trying to offend people? Shows how well you know me, who's offensive now? Again, i was poking fun, wheter you like my sense of humor or not is not my concern, i can't make everyone happy at the same time, Some people think it's funny, some people don't, and that's it. I'll leave this to the mods like i said before, if they think it's inapropriate, they can take it away, or tell me to take it away, but i'm not taking it away because one or two devoted christians are offended. Sheesh, first the muslims start a riot over some cartoons, and now this...

Firestormalpha 05-17-2007 06:29 PM

not accusing, merely noting the implications.

Cloudbringer 05-17-2007 07:28 PM

I'm gonna close this. Johnny, I'm sure you had no intention of offending anyone but as religion isn't an open topic for debate/discussion here and it has struck a raw nerve for several members, I think it's best to just let it rest.

</font>[/QUOTE]Your intention was right but maybe your method was a bit OTT. No real harm done at the end of the day, but for moratorium purposes (yes, we still do have one) it's probably left closed. [img]smile.gif[/img]
