      Last I checked, you don't work for CP. If someone from CP told me to tone it down, then I'd care. I don't care particularly care about what you have to say.

      Your actions say you don't care. Only a fool would see "they need a hobby" as you being concerned with what people think.

      Which proves my point. You don't care about and/or ignorant regarding other people's views. I have no respect for that.

I'm not so insecure I need dorks to be envious of my life so I'm compelled to say what I've done. But anyway, that's not the reason I'm against retards like Josh. Kids don't need to see this stuff for one. For two, hypocrisy and disrespect are bad things, not good things.

          Look, just because you and Josh have a difference of opinion regarding what you feel is appropriate in the lounge isn't a reason to call him a retard. Marc

            Good, next time someone posts a programming question, religion, politics, etc. in the lounge then you don't have a right to be less than cordial to them. And don't give me that crap, you have no problem being downright rude to people here that didn't deserve. I've seen it.

                  It's not just one event. And on top of that, there are a lot of people that do take a huge offense to that and would consider it bad.

                  There are a lot of people who would take offense at pretty much anything. Discussing fat people, how much a particular sports team stinks this year, baldness, emotional disorders, eating disorders, the poor, the rich, etc. is bound to piss someone off. Everyone has issues with different things. I've never met someone who thinks that mentioning condoms is offensive, but, sure, there must be some people out there who are offended by that. You happen to be one of those people. I'm sure there are people out there who would be offended by the fact that you referred to me as a "retard" (no, that didn't offend me). My point is, political correctness is subjective. Not only that, many people assume (incorrectly) that it is their right to never be offended by anyone, anywhere, anytime. That's just not true. The only people who can decide if the condom joke was inappropriate for the Lounge are the folks at CP. It's their site, so their version of PC-ness is all that really matters here. If it was inappropriate, I'm sure they would have moved it by now. Now, let's enjoy this weekend before it's Monday again! :)

                    We've been through this before. And, I may not be a CP admin, but that's your excuse to say hey other people's views don't matter then shame on you. There's nothing difficult about going to the SB with it.

                      Definitely.. as I stated in another post - some of the namecalling around here could be considered more contreversial, and also borderline PG-rating. But somehow official (i.e. non-colloquial) references to male genitals is totally inappropriate! I just don't get it :doh:
