just to let u know it wasnt a personal attack...despite what it may come across as
and as for the sig thing...i thinks its funny...not because of the subject matter...but just the response
and where is evil, hatred and intolerance...i keep pointing out i like america..and i never start arguments and only enter into them when i feel my opinion should be expressed, but whatever
anyways...l8r days
thats toned down

Goodbye Katie...hope to see you at TT when Filb gets it working again...:(
Sorry Beacon and Katie, just trying to cheer the place up a bit
I perfectly agree with katie. I am 14, i have left the United States twice, both times to go to canada (which despite all the jokes is a really nice, if not cold, place). Since my school is full of a bunch of idiots that are all wasting their life smoking pot constantly anyway, i don't learn too much in school. I have learned a great deal about other cultures and religions through the interactions that i have had on this bulletin board. Lately I have been coming her much less though, in favor of boards where American's do not get bashed as much.Quote:

As seen strictly from my point of view, mind you, (since I'm still upset
enough to not be able to see it from theirs), two people in particular launched a personal attack against me. It wasn't in the spirit of joking or banter. It was meant to upset me. Checkout some signatures and locations if you doubt this. Then they rejoiced that they had achieved
their goals. It seems a constant thread that if you are American you are
not even worth listening to because you're obviously stupid. It is
constant. There is no way of just ignoring it because it's in every thread.
I even stated that I don't agree with a lot of our foriegn policy and I know
our president's a boob and I still get it from all sides. I'm just sick of
it. There is not one thread that I posted yesterday with the exception of
the golden chair that I was not immediately jumped upon. It's not worth it.
There are a lot of good people in VBF, yes. But I can't converse with them
without being harrassed by the people who aren't good.
As far as I can see, the people who are not so good in VBF are very unworthy
ambassadors of their point of view because all I can see is evil, hatred and
intolerance.....not exactly what the Islam religion is purported to be
about. Since my only education in their religion has been through them, I
have been left with a very bad tasting bigotted mindset towards certain members of the forum....not very nice but true.
That coupled with the immaturity of certain responses when it should have been just a dialog has led me to this decision. I don't know what happened to discussions without vitriol or ribbing without underlying sniping but it has left the forum....and so have I.
I remember on September the 11th, how originally i looked at the WTC thread, and saw an outpouring of support for the United States, and i felt truly proud to be living in a great country. Then that thread turned bad, people started saying they agreed with the terrorists, and that they were martyrs for the muslim faith. They did not die in the name of Allah, they died in the name of hate and evil, but thats not the point of this discussion. People on these boards do need to realize that they are representing their respective countries, and most of you are giving your countries a bad name by acting like complete and total idiots
There are quite a few really nice people on the boards, many of them very knowledgeable, and very good representatives of their nations. Most of these people have been hovering away from these boards, and most are members of a board that i visit often (http://www.pchelp.bz) where there is less political and religious tension. That board has trusted moderators, and an admin that is very active in the site (no offense John) and who has not let anyone go to far posting, but does not put up rules unless there is agreement by the regularly visiting members.
VBF is getting ridiculous, i think that there are too many people on the boards, and they are destroying it for anyone who comes here to ask a legitimate question. Though i do not always agree with moderatorship in Chit-Chat, I think that it is quickly becoming needed, though the moderators have stayed away from religious discussion as far as i have seen.
It is sad to see people like katie feel that they have to leave the boards. Katie is a really nice person, who is wise quite beyond her years (and she isn't all that young for those who didn't know) and has many a time offered great opinions on important matters that have come up on these boards. I hope that she will visit different boards that i am on, because i found it enjoyable to talk to her.
I think that is the first time you have said something totally sane that I agree with Eric. I agree. :)
i can help with that!!Quote:

If the venom (on both sides) was toned down, I would stay, but it has not and I don't see much hope that it will.
Gotta go do that Valentine thing with my husband and kiddlets. I hope all of you have good futures.
For the last time....

Katie:
no matter what you say, if you leave, you have failed to understand something.
People are different, and only overcoming and accepting those differences you will overcome your weakness.
I'm not intending to insult you (you know me)
If there's a meaningfull word for matureness, then it is this.
If you leave VBF you're still as much vounerable as before, you can't hide.
I hope you reconsider your situations, if you truly think you are mature, then you can yourself decide what you take as offense or not, and don't let anything anyone say get to you. If you do, you are admitting their accusations and suffering from it mentally.

I have to admit i've read some psychology but that was ages ago, but hey! It's only the most obvious things I say! (but then again people might have a lot else to think about :p)

You have to admit though that most people, dealt with an argument relating to religion, country, etc. on these forums are quite smart and deliver good arguments and intellectually stimulating perspectives. Unlike other forums where you see such brilliant comments as "Yuor Gey!" or "I'm right you wrong nah nah nah...". The folks here are relatively a bright and lively bunch. And personally I like a good blood boiling debate, it keeps the mind sharp.
I gotta reply to this. I read halfway through that i just gotta. :D The american bashing i find amusing. I could go on and on and make little jokes about england and other countries but i usually have my head in a book trying to keep up with you freaks. So what if our mustard sucks. :p That would be that last thing i leave this site for.
I have to agree. I probably shouldn't be saying this because I am a kid myself, but some kids do ruin this forum. I apologize about my previous bush is a h**o. I hope that John will forgive me...:(
By the way, sorry to interrupt on your obviously IMPORTANT:rolleyes: discussion in which I obviously doesn't belong. Let's get my URL back to Gen. VB Q&A.

dude ur mustard blows!! WOO!! ENGLAND'S MUSTARD ALL THE WAY!! WOO!!Quote:

Also, I don't deal with such arguments. Otherwise, I would REALLY be made fun of. I am:

No girlfriends
