• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

If a rocket falls and no one is around to hear it...

Those who have nothing to say, often say it the loudest... :shocked: :roflblack:
This is just proof that I need to be working harder, when I'm supposed to be working! :opps:
 
My only beef with some on this forum is that there are very neutral conversations taking place and in many ways informative, interesting and sometimes even incorrect. They are rarely political or personal at first, until these individuals drop a granade, then are subsequently disagreed with and or attacked followed by the granade thrower claiming things are too political. you know who you are and take a look at your posts. The conversations almost always go south after you start in with your polarizing comments.

I'm all for following the rules and love learning and reading the off topic posts forum. However, I don't think I can get away with half of what some of our otherwise highly informative Spyder Super Stars can get away with and not get booted from the forum.:mad:

Your posts as far as I have observed are always measured and fair. Don't let the fear of consequence prevent you from continuing to be who you are.
 
I had a feeling this would go "south" when I noticed the subject matter. Discussions about Israel and the Middle East in general are about as hot button as they can get. I think that when there is an opinion on this subject, it is going to be very strong--either pro or con.

I am in agreement--this is not an issue for the SL board to discuss. I would like to see it go away and lets get back to Spyder stuff.
 
Yes, you're entitled to your own set of opininions, but NOT to your own set of Facts.

Firefly likes to make things up based on what he has read or heard from a bias source and tell us all that these lies are facts and he is entitled to his own set of opinions.

Your opinion that we should not give aid to Israel is valid.

But to lie and say that Israel is occupying Gaza or blocking food and water, when Israel are the only ones supplying them with food, water, medicine, school books, clothes, and the PA teaches the children that they should blow themselves up in coffee shops.

THERE IS NOTHING AND WILL NEVER BE ANYTHING THAT ONE NATION OF PEOPLE CAN DO TO ANOTHER THAT WILL JUSTIFY BLOWING YOURSELF UP AMONGST UNARMED, INNOCENT CIVILANS. THERE IS NO ACT THAT JUSTIFIES MURDERING WOMEN AND CHILDREN ON PURPOSE.

I agree with most of what you say, but to think Israel is just some innocent victim in all this is simply historically incorrect and nonfactual. Some very simple research will show you that Israel certainly still is occupying and destroying Palestine homes.

I will agree 100% pertaining to killing innocent civilians and children, etc. .. it is wrong and needs to stop... including when we have done it....

Has anybody mentioned the fact that our Ambassador to Libya was killed last evening and our Embassey burned??? :shocked: :gaah:

Yeah.. how terrible a thing.. all over some silly religious stuff... ugh......
 
There are no innocent parties to that whole mess in the Middle East... The entire "Eye for an eye" message has been given its own frightening reality! :yikes:

The entire place needs to take some time out and cool down; will it ever happen? NOPE! :gaah:

I think what you are referring to (religious stuff) happened in Egypt yesterday when they tore down the USA flag and put up two black flags.

According to the news today, the incident in Libya was terrorist initiated and there had been chatter for a few days before it happened. The 'powers that be' are looking into why there was not added protection for the US Ambassador and those with him.

No politics here

You're right Bruiser, and until Firefly got involved, there was nothing political about this thread.

If missiles start falling on eastern North Carolina, it would not be political for me to let everyone who has not heard about it yet know.

Stop crying wolf.

Your subject matter was 100% political from the start. How on earth you cannot see this is beyond me.

If we're not supposed to get political... it shouldn't matter what side of what issue one is on... it just so happens I'm on a different side than you on this.. so you feel it's my fault for this turning political......:banghead:.

It's also unfortunate you've been unable to discuss this topic without getting personal. It is possible to disagree with other opinions in a respectful manner... something I myself have struggled with... but try to work on.

Good day....
