• 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.

A QUICK COMPARASIN

whenever someone wants to post controversy on a website, they argue their amendment rights. Those rights include the fact you can say something, NOT that you have the right to say it on a site you don't own. The owner of this site has the right to not let you post controversy if they choose. You then have the right to start your own site and post whatever you want.

:agree: I made this exact statement on Facebook. 1st Amendment doesn't give you the right to say what you want, where you want. It give you the right to make those statements about and to our government - out in public.
You tick me off in my house, and you'll get B!@##-Slapped, and sent packing.
You post something on a forum (here, Facebook, Twitter...etc) that violate the owners rules, expect the same.

That doesn't mean you don't have the right to go out on the street and say the same thing... You DO!:thumbup:
 
Oftentimes, it's not whether you CAN say something; it's more like, "SHOULD" you? :dontknow:


(This from the guy, with no apparent sense of discretion at all...:roflblack:)
 
With all the saturation on the cable news channels . . .

you have to wonder whether the cable news channels are trying to stir this country into another civil war. Just to get the ratings up, if you know what I mean. :roflblack::roflblack:

Honestly, though. These are all very tragic incidents and I can't help but wonder if we're headed back through the 60's again. Perhaps we didn't learn our lesson, back then.
 
In spite of what the various News Media outlets are telling you;
we're pretty-much smarter now, than we were back then. :thumbup:
 
I will also add . . .

I think it is important to have faith in "the system" (I hate that term) to work. I suspect that in each case there will be a major civil settlement in each case. It won't bring back anyone, but it will force the "powers that be" to stop and reconsider what they're doing before they go bankrupt. Just says. . .
 
But what about if you don't like it, turn the radio to another station. i don't like rap music so i make sure my
presets are not on them.
the reason i did the posting because i want everyone to be aware of the real facts not the ones you only
hear about on tv but perhaps the ones the grand juries hear about. if i wanted to rile people up i would mention
the over $10k on property tax i pay so our mta workers can earn a well deserved $100k a year plus pension &
medical.

since i don't spend my whole life on the forum(i have to work) i am still learning about how these forums work.
someday when i am retired & have an IPHONE 30 i hope that i still have my :spyder2: & wife & then i will know
how the heck to post politically correct.
until then i will probable screw up a few more times.
Now about the slingshot, i saw one yesterday & today........damn they look great, gets a lot more looks then my
:ani29: ever will but it will bottom out on potholes around here & i don't think i could drive to manhattan without
hurting it.

I think it has less to do with whether WE like it, and more to do with whether the forum owner believes it violates his policies.

Since the thread is still here, and unlocked, I'd venture to guess it didn't ruffle his feathers too much.

It IS a topic these days, and IMHO, more of a social issue, than a political issue. As long as the discussion stays there, it should be fine.

Now, as far as the decisions...

Ferguson - right decision. They had to decide based on the evidence they had, and couldn't "opinionate" on whether it he would have acted differently if he confronted a white person in the same circumstances.

New York - Right, and Wrong decision. This is based on my limited knowledge of the case, but I believe the Grand Jury was asked to determine if a charge of murder one should go to trial. I don't think it was pre-meditated, however, that officer IS guilty of a lesser offense, (manslaughter, or the like) based on what I saw.
 
Dave,
:agree:
Perhaps an involuntary manslaughter charge would have been the proper way to go with this one.
But then; we haven't had a chance to see any of the evidence that was reviewed by the Grand Jury.
They must have seen something, that we didn't... :shocked:
