Thu'um Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Unless there was a previous Counter-Point that's now missing/archived, no, it hasn't been discussed before. Though, by the logic of "people have ragebonered over this before, so let's ban its mention forevermore", we should no longer be allowed to mention Krystal because of all of the arguments people have had because of her. Or you know, just furries in general...half the locked topics I keep finding are furry-related. actualy, speaking to mod right now, there was ,aparently, some thing that was close to an abortion topic and it failed terrible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Monroe Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 I find Robert's lack of faith in us a bit insulting, actually. I vote that we should be able to discuss it. I never took a very strong stance on it, considering I'm not a woman and this don't give a shit if I can legally get an abortion. Doesn't mean much to me, you know? But it is a topic that could get a lot of fun debate, and I would enjoy a thread where we could. I think we can handle it. My lack of faith comes from FIRST HAND EXPERIENCE of SFO. Not everyone can be as cool as me or you or Milky or Dras or whatever. SFO is populated by easily anal devastated babies who can not handle THE TRUTH. They couldn't handle Jack Nicholson telling them they couldn't handle the truth. Hell, they can't even handle me telling them they can't handle Jack Nicholson telling them they can't handle the truth. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vy'drach Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Not particularly interested in the subject, but those that are should be able to talk about it as they want. If someone gets mad because their opinion is not held by everyone, tough titties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psygonis Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 I'm for being able to discuss it. 'Also think it might quickly derive to a religious beliefs topic though, as Rob pointed out. But still, we should have the chance to discuss it, so people that want/need to talk about it can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redeemer Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 I don't see why we can't discuss it as adults. But due to the diffusion of not-so-smart people to debaters in SFO, it would require heavy moderation. It's a touchy subject, as is rape, child molestation etc. so it should be handled the same way. I guess we can see what DZ thinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harlow Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Well, the causus is for exactly what it says on the tin. As long as you follow the normal rules of not spamming with lovey messages or clinic directions or gore, I think it would be technically fine... i agree with AJC3000FOX. abortion really should not be discussed because it is a very fragile topic and it could seperate people on SFO. I would rather it not. They BANNED a guy because of a furry poll. They had to temporalily close a Bullfighting topic. We slit our wrists on pretty much everything... At least it isn't the Maury Povich show D: DNA Tests have arrived! Dras... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icy Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 My lack of faith comes from FIRST HAND EXPERIENCE of SFO. Not everyone can be as cool as me or you or Milky or Dras or whatever. SFO is populated by easily anal devastated babies who can not handle THE TRUTH. They couldn't handle Jack Nicholson telling them they couldn't handle the truth. Hell, they can't even handle me telling them they can't handle Jack Nicholson telling them they can't handle the truth. Rob, you're on a roll this week. I can't really say anything other than what Rob has already said in his two posts. That pretty much sums it up. Too delicate a subject, at least for SFO. Although it is odd that it is singled out of everything else that is also delicate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoneWolf Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Do not talk about abortion, even on the internet. It's a really sketchy topic that is best left alone. Too multifaceted, and religion always gets hauled into it. It's just too big of a thing to talk about, like the death penalty. So I would advise against talking about it.

Xidphel Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I don't see why not unless there's a topic about it. It's still a controversial subject with good reasons to be pro and against abortion and it's a good idea to let your voices be heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Alright then, DZ hasn't answered in the staff board, but seeing as all the mods and I agree that this wouldn't get off hand if we watch it carefully, the go ahead, make a topic in the pub talking about abortion, I'll take responsibility if things go offhand. Assuming you guys want to do it, anyways. So to finally answer the question "Should we be allowed to discuss abortion?" yes, you can now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
