 Topic: Offensive signature
Posted: April 04 2006 at 02:26 |
I believe I've been very tolerant with religious beliefs and disbeliefs, but the use of Satanic symbols is at least looking for trouble, already Drew made a comment and honestly I find it offensive against my beliefs.
USER: DeepPhreeze
I believe this should be stopped, lately some newbies are trying to cause problems.
I'm sure that if any member made a signature asking for people to tuirn to some religion or cult or even saying Jesus Loves You, there will be a lot of people asking for that sig to be deleted with reason, because this is not a place for religious propaganda.
Please delete this signature and tell the kid to stop asking for troubles.
This is worst IMO.

Well, it doesn't bother me that much. Though I was a little confused at first I must admit. Maybe I'm not as religious as you Ivan. But if you find it offensive then I believe it certainly should be removed.

I think that all religious or political statements in signatures should be removed - no big discussion about whether or not the particular signature is offensive or not.

I don't find it offensive in the least.

I believe that avatar and signature are very personal places for everybody to express themselves. Each to his own. So why should we bother? Let's just pay no heed to them.

i really couldn't care less. if that is how he/she wants to display such a symbol as part of a wider belief system then so be it.

^ if you all have no problem with that signature that's fine, no problem. But you cannot demand of everyone else that they also don't have a problem with it.

So de we have to tiptoe around everyone in case it might hurt their feelings or be against their beliefs?

Interesting that the complaint relates to the symbol but not to the mention of the drug DXM in the sig.

A thick skin's all that's needed here. Banning the use of religious symbols is both unworkable and dubious.

How about just banning absurdly huge signature images?

Or, doing away with signatures altogether. Do they actually serve any purpose? I find they are extremely irritating, no matter what the subject.

I've never heard about it either, but if it's illegal, I suppose that this particular signature should be removed just because of the drug reference, right?

I never heard of this drug before either but if that's the case then I agree that the signature should be removed. But only because of the drug reference.

It isn't illegal. Irs an over the counter drug which is used in chest medicines. Google it.
And even if ir was illegal, does that mean that we can't show pics of canabis leaves too?
Alcohol is illegal in most muslim countries, should we ban pics of beer here too?
