    Did the skeletons have hands?

    I can neither confirm, nor deny such statement.

    Is that OK?

    Again, Tned, I'm not trying to stir the pot, and am just looking for answers as to what is acceptable, and what is not. Behavior wise...
    It's a different debate. This one is about whether members should have to be subjected to corpses, and similar, images.

    It may be that we need to have an additional discussion about images that could be considered anti-American, or simply designed to upset the masses, but that is a dangerous line to draw in the sand, because once you start censoring unpopular images/sigs, where do you stop???

    I agree 100%. As previously stated, I'm not really into censorship, although some images are pretty offensive - to nearly everyone with eyes and vision.

    At some point, however, a line does need to be drawn. If you saw someone burning the American flag outiside your home, what would you do?

    I know what I would.

    When I agreed to create and subsidize this forum, I made a commitment not to impose my will or opinions on the message board. So, what I would do doesn't matter as much as what the community as a whole (the best that can be determined) wants.

    The exact reason I'd never start a forum. I admire you, Tned, but I could never run a forum that allows some of the clowns that post here. Football smack is one thing, dissing America is another.

    Again, that's why I could never run a forum. Don't get me wrong - I love the P&R section, but my allegiance to my country runs deep.

    Mine does too, and some of the sigs and opinions make me sick. However, I need the members of this message board to define how they want THEIR message board, their community, to be run, and I will enforce that.

    Which mean of course that if Joe wants to start a town hall discussion and get a vote going it is his prerogative.. It gets the ball rolling..

    I don't have Guevara in my signature to "piss" off "gun-toting Republicans". I have Guevara in my signature because he is a fellow Socialist who shares in my ideals. I had Guevara in my signature long before people made him an issue on this board. Just as I had Lenin in my signature.

    And I had Che Obama in my sig because I was supporting you.
