I've only just seen the post below that started the whole thing...I wasn't intending to stir stuff up, I just saw the later posts mentioning Chicken and Melons and my weird mind went and did that ^
I find b3ta a strange beast in the sense that a lot of the board users/regulars posts some pretty close-to-the-mark stuff. Things that people I know 'wouldn't get' but people on here deem ok. But then on occasion, those regualars deem other posts totally unacceptable.
I, personally, can see the clear distinction between what's acceptable and what would be classed as not, but I do feel that the lines are blurred sometimes. The difference between a racist post and one depicting, say, Maddy McCann, are 2 totally different entities/situations but would still cause the same amount of upset to whoever took offence to them in the particular way they feel upset by (racism/child abuse).
To censor certain things or tell people not to post certain posts is understandable but not (in my reckoning), the answer. This just causes arguments as seen earlier.
People need to (and I point my finger at nobody here), take a bit of responsibilty in what they think may or may not upset the masses...

pretty much anything is fair game around heredead children, queer bashing, drug (ab)use, nazis. but as soon as someone steroetypes someone's skin colour, the whole world and their granny lines up to take a swipe.
draw a line, but with a big curve in it like the A15.

Point well madethis place is full of hypocrites ready to be judge, jury and executioner on what is or isn't acceptable. I think the difference with 'racism' is that they are programmed and know that if they throw the race card around, it will arouse there ilk and give them some sense of importance in the group. Who knows or cares. I am not a racist, despite what they say--but they will not hear that, nor accept that. So fuck em.
