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

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.

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.

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...

not accusing, merely noting the implications.

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.

[/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]
