Africa, the case is NOT that the majority of Afrikaners harbor white-supremacistic ideals. In fact, it's rather the opposite : a more stable state of co-existence has begun to flourish in the country among whites, blacks, and other ethnicities. Excusing Sonix for stating his views just because he's an Afrikaner is a misjudged deduction. After reading several of the posts he made at this forum, it seems that a tolerance against what he commented had been established. Moderation should have stepped in - it wasn't as if his expressing white supremacy was an isolated instance that perhaps might have been overlooked. |

Who cares about Sonix, he's from South Africa...is he of a Dutch descent -some apartheid follower - or just a dark boy who likes to show off? There are all sorts of "white supremacists", "homophobes" etc. who just like to show off on the internet. Who can tell? I for one, could register as "Aryan pride" and start posting crap on the forum.
I didn't even feel his presence on the forum, our paths never crossed. Quote:
I didn't read anywhere that tatysite.net is a "gay & lesbian" forum, it's a Tatu forum, and we don't even know if Tatu are lesbians. I pretty much doubt whether they are ( as much as one might be convinced that they are ). And all that has nothing to do with the fact that it's posted by gay people ( why would I care if you're straight or gay given the circumstances? ) it's just annoying to read it all the time ( not to mention repetitive and boring ). I'd say the same thing if it was posted by straight people, all the same. I'm not expecting people to stop, all I'm saying is that they're raising havoc for a minor misdemeanor. Concentrate on her "homophobic" comments instead. Just to set the record straight. I don't condone the way she put her views across, anyway. Maybe it was the heat of the moment. If gays and lesbians sicken her, it's her problem ( but maybe she's just an attention-seeker these days? just something else to ponder on ) |

Ok.. Personally, I think someone who is offended by anything written or said is weak, and attached to humanity. Maybe it's because where I'm from, but I don't get how words can cause a person any emotional connection. People can say whatever they want, and if someone is offended by it, well then I'm better than them aren't I? Now I realise "governments" have organized things such as censorship and social views, which make you think certain things are bad. If you let the government influence you in any way unphysical, then you are unable to think for yourself and deserved it.

Goku... I'm speechless.
I have already use up all of my energy in my previous rant to say much now, trust me though you'll most probably be hearing from others. That wasn't a smart thing to say. |

I'd say this: let's mind our own lives, try to live as happily and trouble-free as possible, love the people we love, do the things we like to do and leave things like homophobia and racism behind. The past generations have struggled and paid in blood for us to enjoy all the priviledges that we enjoy. There's no need for more blood, and for something as inane and stupid as the "aryan race".

i agree, but i dont think of it as weakness. if anyone is out to offend you, why give them that power? words intended to emotionally injure just don't get to me, most of the time. i don't get offended if someone says "gawd you're so butch" or "wow you're really femme" or "go back to your own country." it doesn't change me, it doesn't affect my life, so why should i be hurt by it? people who say that judge through a purely external perspective and the world doesn't function on everyone JUST making those assumptions. it's such closedminded bullshit. people who judge others based solely on the stereotyped image in their minds should open their eyes and realize that what makes the individual is biological, sociological, and circumstancial. [the last two having more influence because our genes are just the canvas on which things are painted, but the canvas varies from person to person. it's sets how people react and change, but even THAT is subject to change.] it's an instance of people's narrow mindedness and ignorance that i want nothing to do with. however, if these people should want to change, i'll be right there. as for the government, i view it has providing a structure for economic and sociologic control, which in this case is a good thing. it's there to provide certain ground rules while creating possibilities for freedom. and i won't get into the economic side, it doesn't apply here. |

If words cannot hurt you - can they make you happy? If they can't hurt you - what is going to hurt you? Pain is a part of life. Happiness is a part of life. How do people express themselves? By talking, or writing. If I should not listen to peoples words or read peoples notes - how am I supposed to know what kind of a person this is? Alot of information lies in words - written or said. I will get hurt. We will all get hurt. Because it's part of life (but I have convinced myself I can destroy that part and ignore it but will it work?) I mostly do not listen to what people say and think of me. Of course, if they think I am a nice person I get happy. If they want to hurt me with words they can go someplace else. I already know what it's like to be hurt and I will not allow it to happen again. At the end of the day their words have faded and they have most likely forgotten what they had said. And if they didn't forget it - it is because they feel bad and regret it. Quote:

Could somebody please explain something to me - because I think I misunderstood.
Did anyone get any warnings? And were these last warnings? In the rules it says that it is forbidden to: Quote:

I'm led to consider detailing the obvious superiority complex you've developed inside yourself, but I'm at the same time wary of being subsequently handed a warning for stating a blatantly evident fact [even though, according to the aforementioned quote, it shouldn't render any "emotional connection" to what I'd actually be trying to say]. So instead, let me congratulate you on detaching yourself from humanity's grip and rising above such trifle matters as words, comments, discussions, and any other language-based means of communication which might cause your nervous system to react "emotionally". You evidently have transcended to a level of idle indifference to this entire "humanity" thing and should be admired for such an accomplishment. |
