Religion and Politics

**zzzMarcus** · 01-31-2003 10:02 PM

For the time being, there will no longer be any discussion of religion or politics in any forum, including Anything Goes. Or was it Almost Anything Goes? Maybe I'll change the name.

Eventually, this will go away.

No problem for me Marcus. I need to keep my flow on the light side from now on, I'm getting too old for that stuff! The older I get, the more irrelevant all that stuff is to me. I know my path and don't feel like sharing or arguing it with anyone, anyway. Sorry it came to this though. Too bad some folks just don't get it...

Even though I am guilty for inflamming a few of the arguements that caused this, I would like to know what the punishments are, just so I have it in the back of my head in case I fell like shooting my mouth off again.

Hey,

You forgot the other traditional taboo subject, sex! Although I notice drugs and rock & roll seem to work fine as a topic... :crazy:

**Pablo Diablo** · 02-01-2003 06:03 AM

Understood Marcus. Sorry if I caused you problems...

**Docter M** · 02-01-2003 01:57 PM

i just like to keep myself out of political issues. htey all scare me and i could care less about what is happening elsewhere in the world.

right now, i care about my broken board and the Columbia shuttle...

may they rest in peace

I was always taught not to discuss either in polite company...

RIP astronauts.

I'm not on here as often as I was but I take it that these subjects cannot be discussed without attacking one another?

**raven6241** · 02-05-2003 08:39 PM

Without us attacking each other, yes.

**ol'dude** · 02-05-2003 08:43 PM

We've all agreed to disagree...

Just like Religion and Politics.

Sometimes, the voice that speaks the loudest, is the one that utters no sound.

**Docter M** · 02-09-2003 07:13 PM

whoa

thats almost deep.

**ol'dude** · 03-30-2003 06:14 AM

The last time we mixed Religion and Politics, people were burned at the stake.

**Arizona Zeller** · 04-04-2003 11:55 PM

Speak for yourself, ol'dude... I never agreed to disagree, and I never will!!!!!!

There should be only one religion for all which involves the Trinity:

Surfing
Longboarding
Snowboarding

The 3-in-1 Boarding

I will be the Pope and you guys can be my archbishops and cardinals.

leave it to Cruiser

**Momona Boe** · 05-14-2003 07:15 AM

I was an altar boy, does that count?

**mauiskategeezer** · 05-16-2003 09:14 PM

Yes Boe that counts...

Well, after 5 or so months of having an open discussion forum on the Mauiline website, I can better appreciate what Marcus has to work with here.
Myself? I can let pretty much anything fly on my forum and it doesn't compell me to stop it or take it down.
Marcus has a different view of this, and has provided a forum free of, shall we say, heated political discussion.

There is an irony here. I was rather disappointed at first when Marcus put the brakes on... I was very much against it! I labeled it censorship but it inspired me to build an anything goes forum on my site that has it's own niche.

Some people log on and rant like hell, then they calm down and it's cool. Others log and take advantage of the fact that one can "swear" on my forum (of which you are made aware the first time you log on) and they go off with the F word and others like crazy for a while, then they quit using it so much.

Honestly, I hope I have provided a place for the kind of discussion that can be controversial, so that Marcus doesn't have to impose a heavy admin hand as it were.

Anyway, I still like both forums, and they both have their place on the web.

Skating is a religion is it not?

oops, forgot!
