I ain't bitchin about the owners, I'd be the first to agree with what you said. It's the others here that expose their lust for regulation that I find ugly. Do you know what was said? Can anyone tell me what exactly was said?

Your debate is geared more at trolling.Last I looked the name of the site is Cannabis.Com. No one is saying you can't talk about pedophiles or racism or anything else your heart desires but as someone has already decided,most people here dont want to hear about creepy old men taking showers with their nieces.My point is,it's their house not yours.
If you feel the need to talk about pedophiles i'm sure there are places you can go besides Cannabis.Com.
Insinuating that we are breaking the rules by having this chat now in this way is missing the point and ludicrous.
If people don't like one talking shit in their house then they have the right to throw them out too whether you agree or not.
Sheltering yourselves from reality with regulation and rules won't make what you find disgusting go away. You can lock yourself up in a protective box, but the disgusting things your hiding from will still be there when you emerge from your box. You should not fear what you don't understand, you should try and learn from it. It's no wonder this world can't solve it's problems, everyone wants to hide from them and act like they are not there.

You know you're a stoner when you yammer on and on about a guy that's been banned...oh, wait, wrong thread.
Libertarian Toker, I know you're trying to make a point but what I've learned from theses boards is democracy rules. So, you can type until your fingers hurt but Boogle isn't allowed back for 6 monthes and I doubt you'll change anyone's mind. Don't yell at me, it's just my opinion, I can only speak for myself!:)
I'll be honest with you and say I didn't hear it directly,no I didn't.I wasn't really trying to make any points about what the guy said but more as to whether bannings are a good thing or a bad thing.I've been banned from a few sites myself I can understand your point to a degree.
In my time here so far tho....thats not been all that long I know...I haven't personally seen any unfair bannings.But,even if I had its not my site anyways and tho I may say hey that was wrong,that is the best I could do besides just leaving.
You know you're a stoner when you yammer on and on about a guy that's been banned...oh, wait, wrong thread.
for a moment there I thought I had posted in the wrong thread hahah
" C. Kill them on the spot. "......
"I don't recall anywhere in the Bible,where God or Jesus ,said that pacifism should be pursued until the destruction of Man,is complete. Nor does God or Jesus,command us to slay ourselves,in order to avoid sin..pacifism,is suicidal,if blindly pursued."
Do excuse me... NWM, please don't ban lunatics anymore, could you shoot them on the spot please, thanks.
"Unless their crazy old coots, then the fuzzy feel good BS turns into a cry to have them banned. I have my own reasons for coming to this board. The "we" part of that is interesting in that it would seem you think you speak for all. You don't speak for me, so try not to say why I come here. If you ban everyone you think is screwed in the head, who will you help with your good advise and support?"......
"What right do you have to decide what it is "we" wanna hear? Personaly I don't wanna hear others speak for me. To me that is worse then some idiot talking about sick crap."
Ah, the old 'what's normal' argument. In this I would ask that one point be considered. You're talking to law breaking, free thinking people, who, in the most part, are rather opposed to 'normal' acceptance of restrictions to "free speech". Although I agree with the right to post pages of incoherent babble, and many would say I enjoy that right, I would not choose to join a site that promoted such. The chosen moderators of this site do not speak for any one person, they speak for the reflected majority of members comments. I believe that's called Democracy.
"Socialist are way to cuckoo for my liking. Can they be banned too if they come around spouting their commi BS? Why no, as much as I don't like them I would still think that was a bad idea. Wanting to punish someone because you don't like them can lead to all manner of BS. Acting like you care so much and are concered with the well being of others here, and then liking to see one of the people that needs that the most banned, is a little confusing to me. Can you explain this method of support you have going a little better, and how banning someone is helping them?"
Strange argument for a "Libertarian", and strangely familiar. Sounds more like the argument a conservative christian might use. To my knowledge this site has not been promoted as giving psychiatric guidance in any medical publications. You are correct to assert that this person needs help but this is not the place for him to receive that help. Nobody here is qualified to give psychiatric help, that I know of, and if any were they were obviously unavailable to assist him. To the result that this forum was not able to help this person.
"People are being conditioned to think it's ok to silence speech from people they don't like. It's becoming an accepted practice now-a-days. To bad! One day it will come around to bite US in the ass. Some times you don't know what you got until it's gone."
Absolutely and utterly agree with you 100% Pity it has no relevance to this debate.
" So where do you draw that line, and who does the drawing?"
Moderators draw the line here. Usually with the full support of the majority of users. Sorry, it's that Democracy thing again.
" As free as possible. Restricted Freedom doesn't seem much like Freedom to me."
I think you're the type of person who likes to call a spade a spade. And in the most part you are free to do so. But if you insist on calling a spade a tulip and threaten people who don't agree with you, you are freely choosing to be committed or incarcerated. Therefore freely choosing to restrict your own freedom.
"A racist spouting BS doesn't scare me, as my voice would be much louder then his. Personaly I would rather know who thinks that way, and try to get them to see the error in their ways. Your just sweeping it under the carpet by chasing it into hiding. It may just be racist's now, but what about later when it's something else offencive to someone else? What about if someone decided talking about drugs was equal to talking about hate, and banned it? Old Ben said it pretty good, those that are willing to give up Freedom for a little temporary safety, don't deserve either one."
You are attempting to give bloogle's statements validity by comparing them to a hated stereotype? Where you've managed to find a comparison is hard to understand. His posts were, being polite, absolute drivel. He was not putting forward an argument of any kind, thereby not defending a chosen stance other than being an arse.
And if I may say, I believe in defending these actions you are displaying the same qualities.
"Sheltering yourselves from reality with regulation and rules won't make what you find disgusting go away."
They will make them go away from here.
"You can lock yourself up in a protective box, but the disgusting things your hiding from will still be there when you emerge from your box."
Yes, but we can talk freely about the issues we came here to discuss without it being in our box.
"You should not fear what you don't understand, you should try and learn from it."
bloogle didn't understand his own statements and admitted such on many occasions. There was nothing to be learnt.
"It's no wonder this world can't solve it's problems, everyone wants to hide from them and act like they are not there."
Yes, you do don't you. You'd rather troll.
peace :)

"If you feel the need to talk about pedophiles"
It's not about pedophiles, it's about Freedom. When it become acceptable to the public to ban speech that is found to be offencive, then that drifts into politics and soon after translates into laws. While it may be the right of the owners to say who gets to talk here, the trend of limiting speech with regulation streches a little farther then just a private web site on the net when it's the guest's, or the public, crying for the limiting of speech at a place designed for speaking ones mind. It would seem that not only do you think his speech is wrong, you are starting to sound like maybe you think mine is too. If you invite people into your house to speak, then you can bet people will want to do it. Me, I would be interested in what everyone had to say. I even think the people that want to limit speech have a right to say that. Get this, I would even fight for their right to say it if someone was saying they couldn't talk about it.

"Your debate is geared more at trolling."
Is this how you try to discredit? Look man, all I am saying is Freedom of speech is very importent. If you don't agree, well that's up to you.
