Cause you don't think they are as offensive?
What are we fighting for? Cause it's complete BS that this particular thread was singled out. Whilst some of those favoring it's removal are firing off offensive posts in other threads at the very same time they condemn this one. But yeah you know what they do isn't really offensive(in their minds).
Hypocritical BS is what it is. Got nothing to do with the pics.

Political and religious leanings are a choice and a fluid one at that. Conversation and discussion can change opinion on political and religious leanings. How many people were 'born Catholic' and are no longer Catholic? How many were born into conservative households and became liberal?
How many were born female and through conversation, just became male?
Yes, it's possible to change your gender, I understand that. It's also rare and complicated. It is not rare or complicated to put thought into your own personal beliefs surrounding religion or politics.
Do the conversations become personal and offensive? Absolutely they can. Should that be stopped? Absolutely. Political and religious discussion however is not inherently offensive unless those partaking in the conversation make it so. It has the ability to open a person's mind to other possibilities if done in a respectful manner.
A thread dedicated to the discussion of women as if they were cars or food is inherently disrespectful and if you can't understand that, you need to look more carefully.
