"Ban" religion from being discussed

[Leeroy]

on this forum publicly. its like street racing, it only stirs shit up and gets everyone pissy. my .02

[spoolie]

Funny thing is....we're thinking of allowing street racing threads.

[Leeroy]

well fuck..

[StacyNHVL]

Matt, you know it'll never happen. As much as everyone loooovveeessss talking about it on here, it's pointless to try and ban it. Remember how schools tried? Yeeeaaahhh. About that.... haha

[Leeroy]

just a suggestion. if this is an open/ shut idea, then by all means, lock this bitch up and send it to the shitter

[85rx-7gsl-se]

Why would we ban religious discussion? I mean I guess if we banned insults towards religion then it may be fair.

The thing is so much stuff on Tennspeed is not car related why should religion be singled out?

[StacyNHVL]

Because it stirs things up like politics, but it won't happen.

[Leeroy]

thats one thing alot of people can take too far and others take too seriously.

its one thing to sling hate about a kids rotas on a dumped civic

its another thing entirely to sling said hate about jeebus

at first, i was going to put only ban insults towards religion, thinking that we (as in the members of tennspeed) would be mature when it came to such a sensitive subject.

wrong-o

[85rx-7gsl-se]

So Stacey should politics be banned too?


I realize than religion is a sensitive subject and usually turns into lengthy off-topic debates but why should it be singled out? Maybe we should adopt Article VII Non-Discrimination standards...That should cover everyone of concern haha

[Leeroy]

theres only a couple things that have stood the test of time and gets everyone upset, one of them being religion. thats all im saying, i just want further arguments to be taken to pm if anything.

not saying it needs to happen, but think about it

[StacyNHVL]

Anyway, no. I was just saying it would be like trying to ban politics.

[85rx-7gsl-se]

PMs are boring Matt.

[Leeroy]

PMs are boring Matt.

fuck yeah they are.

i get all excited though when i see one new notification, and it ends up being a friend request............. *jerk off motion*

[zurawek]

I dont feel like there is a need to ban religious discussion. argue what you believe in.
bashing on someone's should not be done but that is a different thing.

[Mitch Detailed]

it's okay Leeroy, Jesus still loves you and will accept you. :)

Dave, you've done your fair share of stirring as well ;) LOL

[Countrydave]

yep pot calling the kettle black here :)

[gotzboost?]

I believe there should be a section for these kinds of debates in the off topic section. A lot of people will view it, and it would be kept out of the general off topic section. Plus it provides something to kill boredom, and it provides entertainment.

[TWINKIE]

lets take away freedom of speech too.

lets take away freedom of speech too.

lol seriously...these debates get my mind of the shit in my life and provide hours of entertainment...i love tennspeed:thumbup::-D

[M-Technic owner]

see, this is exactly what i mean. the religous debates carried over into 3 threads last night. wasteful. i was enjoying the whole "sunshine-wyatts gf" pics and that shit started up. fuck

just a little update on that, they're not together anymore. if he wants to say anything about it i'll let him do so. but most of you will be in for a laugh.

[Leeroy]

yeah i saw that, haha, the macully culken (not even bothering to check spelling) "hey wyatt i'm married" had me rolling

[tjs3r]

lets take away freedom of speech too.

haha, might as well right if they're banning religion and street racing, maybe whoever decides what to ban and what not to ban is god?

[steps]

i think we should ban threads about things we should ban. then we can ban threads about banning threads about things we should ban......:razz:

[5series_4_Me]

I like the way you think. :hsdance:

[FNEG]

i hope the mods stay the same for a long time because if it was up to the people of the forum then tennspeed would be empty and all thread will be deleted. lol it just seems lately there has been a lot of debate on what is okay to talk about. me personally i like the way it is and i like the drama/controversy this forum has to offer that is way i am here a lot.

[FNEG]

85rx-7gsl-se i like they way you answer with questions to keep the debate going but staying neutral in the topic. lol

[Leeroy]

i think we should ban threads about things we should ban. then we can ban threads about banning threads about things we should ban......:razz:


i think we should ban people that bump old threads :ugh2:

[xrannie]

we all joined here to talk about our cars, i hope.

Why anyone would start a thread to discuss religion on here after reading the way most of us use swear words and razz each other is beside me... but it's a topic, and no topic should be banned! only members who get out of hand after fair warning should be banned.
bumping old off topic threads is silly, but no one should be banned for it, especially old threads in the tech/help sections!!- at least they're looking at something besides the top page . & bumping your own f/s threads should be limited to once per week.

that's my $.02
