Member Sponsorship: Retardedly Cheap.

[SMG]

Jeff,

Make the Member Sponsor tag $15 a year will ya? The 30-year membership is crazy.

That'll pay the hosting bills and make it better for everyone.

Peace!

I'm been told we're not allowed to use any form of the word "retard" on here.

[SMG]

... If all the .Org has to say about me offering it more money is that I can't use the word "retard", screw it.

Continue to lose money and have sketchy hosting, I really couldn't care less.

We can't use the word retard on here? What happens if you have to tell someone to retard their timing? Well I guess they are screwed, this PC crap is just that, a load of crap.

The official approved new vernacular is: you must "decellerate" the timing...

You must state your argument in a manner deemed non-offensive to any being, animate or not, or be subjected to scorn and be re-habilitated (just like in the former Soviet Union)...

Oh lord! That is the dumbest crap I've heard all week, and it's just the first day of the new week. Nowhere to go but up from here.

So I guess it makes no difference to them that non-offensive language offends me.

I'm glad that my last statement offends you because it also offends me and every other American who treasures the right to free speech and expression...

That's like the wussification of the NFL. God forbid if they celebrate or taunt. So do we have to ask for a hall pass to go to the bath room too?

It's not like anyone who's retarded is going to be reading these forums anyway. Political correctness is out of control. Retarded means receded and the fact that it's use as a word to describe people with mental disorders has made it inappropriate to use as a car term is insane.

Wait, is 'insane' an offensive term? Because some insane people might come on here and be offended.

Feedback left for everyone who values free speech.

Sorry, you can't use the word "feedback"...The proper term you were vainly searching for was "over-modulation"...

[SMG]

Damn, and I used the word 'free' as well...

Now I've done it, I've offended all of the inmates who regularly browse the org.

Hey, i fond the word insane highly offensive.

I like to use the term "mind not tethered to body"


i keed

Now if we maybe had a section like hot topics where we could say words that shouldnt be said freely.
I love to read unedited and definately not pc reants.

[Breez]

Not too get too on topic here...

...but its NOT 15 dollars every 30 years... Jeff said that was the longest setting he was able to choose.

LOL its 15 bucks every LIFETIME.


hehehehehehe.

There are a few threads now offering Jeff more money in order to hold the site up better and to also re register the chat.

Of course we have a section such as this.

Also, I hope everyone is joking here...I don't think I saw any mods or admins come on here and say that Retard is offensive.

We do tend to like the site to be child friendly so basically network broadcasting standards....sorry if folks are offended by that.
You can go to Vortex or Vixens (if they were still around) and through out curse words all day if you like...just not here.

[SMG]

The internet isn't child-friendly. If only my parents knew what I was looking at on the web when I was 10.

Also, the word retard isn't offensive in the least. The use of it to describe people with mental problems is only a secondary use (as someone posted above). It's like censoring the word 'black' because it's used to describe black people.

The internet isn't child friendly, but Jeff intends to keep his site child friendly.
You wouldn't go to Disney.com and see cursing and sex ads because they edit their content so it is child friendly.
I think that there is a pretty thick line that we allow on this site, we just ask that you post with others in mind.

[SMG]

Ok, but you don't have to be 16 years old to drive Mickey Mouse. This is the last time I'm going to try and step up and fundraise for the .org, seriously.
