Double Standard? 4 or 5 months ago........ - Page 2

I followed the thread very carefully, I remember seeing a whole lot about the UN being useless, but nothing like your saying, It got heated no doubt, but that because people don't respect other people's views I said respect not like, just because you don't like the view doesn't mean you can't respect it. Have you served in a UN mission before? Have you been asked to go to another country to straighten it out (Haiti)(Somolia)(Chechnya) these are the three biggest clusters that come to mind. Has it ever occurred to you that someone may be speaking from experience.

I believe that's why the chit chat was created to express ourselves and see the differences we all present

Tell me the difference between the UN with the red cross thru it and radiationboys "bush sux" in my mind there is no difference it is someone expressing his views(political) and nothing more.

Still waiting for an answer on the difference.

Why should I explain that? You asked for me to explain the diff but that's not my task really.

I was involved in the thread where Zonko exploded, that's why I entered here with something that maybe should have been labeled IMHO.

Then I have explained some furthermore. It should be enough, I think it clearly shows me standing behind Free Speech and the alike. I'm afraid two different questions are beeing mixed, it's not necessary to get confused.

(I'm a trained nurse, I have been to former Jugoslavia, working with Bosnian kids injured by mines. So what? Does it give me any special rights?)

Good thing MS missed those posts; otherwise, they might not have recommended this board as a place to go for help with XP and other software.

No offense meant but I didn't think you would explain it, because you don't see it the way I do, no biggie but it proves my point what offends you doesn't offend me and vice versa. I am not confused to me there is no difference between the two avatars to you there is.

as long as it's not at betaone
[quote]Maybe you can do like me and keep to computer related stuff. That's the way to go as we all want to keep this place as friendly as possible.

as long as we adhere to these then I see no problem:
Hello and welcome to BetaONE.

One thing: When saying "as long as it's not at betaone" I don't think you really remember the different threads I'm reffering to. I really tried for quite some time to push for Free Speach here at B1. I have no problems with it now and at first glance it might seem like a contradiction when I ask Zonko to keep to computer related stuff.
No biggie though - not for those that know me.

Then I also really think that we should try to know each other - and thus allow a lot of subjects to be wented. I'm not native englishspoken and that sometimes holds me back.

With your last part about the rules I think you put us back on the track again. Quite good. I'll try to stay there...

there is none. and although radiationboy's signature expresses my political opinion pretty good it might be offensive to some people, like a crossed un-flag with some strong-language signature is to others. i'd say keep the freedom of speech as long as you dont flame each other...

I have them pasted (even the ones that were deleted) somewhere in my documents on the computer in back, I saved them because it irked me that bad and I wanted to remember. We have lost nothing and gone full circle without getting derogatory or inflammatory, who says it can't be done, and you can bet they were watching, but we learned a little about each other and thats a good thing.

People lets just all remember something ok? We are all allies here. We are part of a community, and a very big and diverse family. Things are going to happen or be posted that offend people if taken in the "politically correct" mindset.

Just try to remember that when you make your posts and/or sigs and/or "whatever" and we will all be able to do what we want to do here. Play nice with each other and learn about software etc.

Enough said.
