yikes, what a volitile subject. i'm sure emotions run deep, but here is my 2 cents.
when those objectional issues arise, please let us remember that making someone a victim, regardless of age (but especially children), is wrong and should be avoided if possible. we are here to share and relate. i enjoy getting to know the people on this site and hope that we can all be adults and control our urges to take advantage of kids.... at least adults are better equipped to handle the mental anguish of abuse. let's give the kids a chance to grow up before we start in on the negative treatment toward them... what do you think? can we all just get along?
*agrees with Reefer Rouge*
My 2 cents, I think the Mods here do a great job! Like Lulu said you can not be a Mod 24/7, I am agree with freedom of speach too, but when it comes to some fucked up asswipe talking about kids in a sexual manner, I feel it's way over the line!
Understand we have some sick, sick people in the world! If you ever see that in chat again just report it and tell the perv to fuck off!
Talking about kids in any way sick is just not on i fucking hate those kinda weirdos.

I think pedophilia is sick. But remember free speech. If somone is being a predator in anyway, it's an attack.
I'm a beleive in free speech, and that it holds no bounds (as long as it doesnt infringe on anyone esles rights). I also believe that banning (or poo pooing) on group of people, even if the group is in need of help, or not, is an attack on people. And an attack on a brother/cusin of mine, is an attack on me. Were all connected here, were all humans. Lets try to understand issues. If someone is being a predator, thats a completely different issue.
Dont' become the predator yourself, lets try to understand, or help these people. Otherwise your the only one attacking anyone.
I'm not saying i know the answer to this. I'm just giving my 2 cents. I really wish these chats that are apprently happening don't happen anymore. Mabe those people chatting should be banned. I wasnt avaiable in the chat to see this. It's a completely new issue if the pedophiles are chatting with kids. Thats somethign completely different.
you got it in one, man! Im not trying to piss anyone off, and even if I was, so what? Freedom of speech. lolQuote:

Look, im not condoning paedophilia!! Why the fuck would I do that? Seriously? Even the thought of paedophilia makes me physically sick. I hate it, I hate people talking about it, I hate people joking about it.
But, (and yes, theres definately a but) it's not my job to decide what people should be allowed to talk about, and its definately not yours. Sure, the mods can ban whoever the fuck they want, its their job. But its also our jobs to express our opinions, as this is a message board, and thats what message boards are for.
So, heres my opinion. Paedophilia is the lowest of the low. I hate it. But I also hate arrogant fucks like you, poorman3, who think that their word is final. Just because you dont like somebody talking about something, doesnt mean they shouldnt be allowed to talk about it. People are free to talk about whatever the fuck they want.. Thats the society we live in. You cant have Restricted Freedom Of Speech; it would never work.
"your no different than a scammer stealing money from sick people and kids."
That confused me. It makes no sense. Im not taking advantage of anybody. If you feel that im in someway taking advantage of you, then thats your problem, not mine.
Now, back to paedophilia.
When I was in Primary School (the equivelant of Junior High, I think) there was a substitute teacheer that used to occasionally work at my school when a teacher was away. I remember him being a nice guy, even though I was really young. He's the kind of teacher that everyone liked - he used to take us out to all sorts of places, when we should have been at school doing work, you know? So as far as I remember, he was a normal guy, if not unusally friendly for a teacher.
Anyway, I have three nephews and four neices, all in their early teens or younger. One of my nephews and one of my neices both went to the same primary school that I went to (i'm not going to mention the name, az666 might know what im talking about, though...), and this substitute teacher still worked there when my nephew and neice went there. He also worked at a number of schools all over the island (also at the school my other neice was going to). Then, one day, I see his face in the local paper. The report says hes being arrested for having 'indecent images and videos of his students on his personal computer'. It turned out, that while fixing his computer, somebody found thousands and thousands of indecent photos of young children on his computer, and thousands of videos and images of students that he has taught in this island. Automatically, I thought of my two nephews and neices. Had he done anything to them? Had he taken photos of them, or videoed them? My first instinct was to go out, find him (it would take 5 minutes) and kill him. Seriously, I didnt even know if he had even taught my nephew or neice, only that he worked in the same school, but I felt physically sick to my stomach, and wouldnt to find him and tear his throat out.
And now you, poorman3, are saying that im condoning paedophilia? Youre saying that I am 'laughing my ass off'? That im "no different than a scammer stealing money from sick people and kids"????? You better be high, because nobody can be that fucking stupid on their own.
Anyway, im babbling. Back to my original point. Freedom of speech is freedom of speech, whether we all agree or not.
Chat sessions often get into personal topics, such as gossip, sex, etc - that's just the nature of chat most everywhere.
There is more than one chat room on the CANNABIS.COM Chat - folks seeking more focused discussion should try using one of the other rooms listed in the room list.
While some moderation is definitely helpful, and of course appreciated, in the chat, the focus of moderation is intended to be here on the message boards; another mod or two will likely join in the near future.
Adding more mods just to cover chat won't change much there - more likely to result in flame/ban wars ... there's no way to 100% control a chat, especially when folks can't collectively agree what is acceptable and what isn't...
Often it's best to just ignore discussion one doesn't agree with, etc in a chat unless it's creating problems for other chatters, such as flooding the chat, writing overt violent threats, etc.
Lastly, I realize this is not the answer some folks want to hear, but that's just the way chat is ... for folks seeking a more focused chat, please try using one of the rooms in the chat room list; cafe members only chat is coming soon.
