:I've decided to no longer eat meat but the Burger and Pizza threads make me crave it and that's not fair
:I feel video games today are damaging our kids and shouldn't be promoted on this site
I didn't post in the debate because the agreement to close the thread was too convoluted as i felt the focus shifted from "is the thread good for CP" to mainly policing people's comments on the internet. Again in my opinion, I always believed we all had the right of freedom of speech here set within the rules of CP in combination with the choice to decide which threads we read. If the title or the first opinion posted in the thread offends/doesn't interest you then the right is yours not to read it, can't we make it that simple? At the very least, i believe the mods should have archived the thread but in the end, i do respect their decision.

That's exactly what i was referring to, when posting i have always followed the guidelines set fourth by the moderators here so when one knows the rules, they should have the ability to express their opinions freely within those boundaries.
The YLYL thread was posted in the The Off Topic Forum section and the choice was left up to the individual whether they wanted to read it or not. Whenever i posted in the thread, i never meant it to be sexist or misogynistic but rather my practice to share who i personally thought of as beautiful while actually trying to see if their was one single women that everyone would find attractive (
in case anyone was wondering the closest i came was with Paris Nichole).
