It's not a rant, but rather this was a grow forum. He posted a question but rather than focus on the question you put your energy into something that was irrelevant. Will you make it a habit to do that often as well?

Each of our stances in this matter are subjective.
You're right it is, and because it is subjective you don't have to comment on something else such as his quote. As I said before this is the grow forum, not any other social forum.

But since your morals and my morals are obviously on a different course...frankly I really don't give a shit what you think I should and should not be offended by.
For someone who's not offended you sure seem on the attack here. I'm glad you don't give a shit what I think. Obviously you not caring is allowing for some true colors to bleed through here. Good to see.

ROFL!!! Have you seen some of my posts? What do *I* of all people have to do with political correctness. HAHA
Quote:
as it really relies on the drgradation of American values, traditions and religious beliefs, to recognize deviant morals as being acceptable. IMHO...YOU are the one "way out there".
Really? You are the one trying to enforce that FlyingImam is spreading hate and racism through his quote. This would seem to fall under being politically correct would it not? Yet you are not fond of political correctness?
Well ok, you lost me on that one. If you like to contradict yourself in one breath then by all means be my guest.
Again, the words that were quoted were not bad in themselves. You can't look beyond the name. Anything can be made good if it's said by the right person. If Winston Churchill had said that you'd be singing a different tune.

Either way...it doesn't affect my grow
Hrm, you're here for growing but you berate people based on their signature. Yes, I see the relation between growing and bashing people. Thank you for the insight </sarcasm> :thumbsup:

which is why I'm here in the first place. I do not come here to be insulted, offended or indoctrinated. Nor do I come here to practice my political dexterity.
You could've fooled me. Here you are taking a quote out of context, trying to force your own skewed view of that quote onto the rest of us. If you came here to talk about grows then talk about grows and leave it at that. Otherwise if you continue to do this you're just practiciing hypocrisy. Which if you want to do that then go for it.

I come here because this site has been the best example of a legitimate Medical Cannabis information source available at this time.
You're right.. it does. Thank god that we don't come here for people's signatures that talk about how regardless of what type of government you have that you can gather the people back under you through the use of fear tactics; which holds no racism in it's words. I'm so grateful that's not why I come here; what a crappy forum that would be. </sarcasm>

Do you really find it acceptable to allow nazi bullshit, Islamo-facist rantings, false-prophet musings..., in a medical cannabis forum that caters folks from 18ish to 70ish? Obviously, I don't think it's appropriate.
Actually yes... I do find it acceptable. Again maybe your posts are better suited for the political forum. I don't believe flyingimam is a nazy, islamo-facist, or false prophet. I'm not so blinded by his quote that I can't see beyond the obvious.
Want to know what the obvious is? IT IS JUST A QUOTE AND CONTAINS NO RACISM IN IT!!
Quote:
Do you really believe the bullshit comparison between the quote and US policy? Gee...sounds to me like that quote is exactly how the democrats teach their lackeys to degrade conservative values, and twist facts to suit their agenda.
And here you are trying to poke fun of whatever affiliation you may think I am. I am pragmatic, leaning admittingly a bit to the right. Due to your lack of understanding throughout this entire thread I'm fairly positive you don't know what that means. So here is the definition for you:
prag·mat·ic Audio Help /prægˈmætɪk/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[prag-mat-ik] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation
â??adjective
1. of or pertaining to a practical point of view or practical considerations.
2. Philosophy. of or pertaining to pragmatism (def. 2).
The whole reason for bringing up people would like to label me conservative was to point out the fact that here I am, someone that everyone wants to label conservative in the politics forum, yet I'm defending this guy on what would seemingly be a liberal stance.
Want to know why? Because your attack was unjustified. You saw the affiliation of the quote and decided it would be a nice gesture to berate the guy for no reason. All he asked was a grow question.
Guess what, if you didn't like what was in his quote you could've easily bitten your tongue, or given him the answer about his grow and then contacted a mod about it.

This is short-sighted, and likely a good way to lose all credibility from those that are a bit more mature, seeking info on their meds. You seem to want to turn this into an immature 'anything goes' playground...I'm fighting to keep it from becoming just that.
I'm not looking to gain or lose credibility. Honestly you look like a fool and you're fighting a battle that you've already lost.
No Racism, No Personal Attacks on Others and or Co-Ops/Dispensaries, No threats of violence and/or the Like
You attacked him, but there was no actual racism in his post or in his signature. Again, you are the one in the wrong.

I've mentioned this before...it still stands...
If you want to discuss the facts of politics, let's do it in the right forum. I'll never back away from good political discourse with someone that's ready for the challenge.
You're more than welcome to come into the politics forum. You're the one I never see in there. You bring this up as if this is some sort of grand master challenge when honestly I could care less, but if you bring up a topic that interests me in the politics forum you can be sure, as everyone who hates me in there can attest to, I will be there to disprove or agree with whatever points you bring up.
There is a difference between debating and discussing your opinion. I rarely discuss just my opinion, majority of my rebuttals are based on fact.... Fact is you jumped the gun.. you attacked this poor guy for no reason other than he quoted a Nazi.
No offense to you Rusty Trichome, but judging from these two posts I'm pretty sure you wouldn't last too long in the politics forum. I hope you're able to gather your thoughts in a more concise and organized manner that contains actual relevant information.
So one last time Rusty. Show me EXACTLYwhere the WORDS FlyingImam used are racist. :hippy:
