Why do we have so many threads about bibles and showers?

bigfootofget...	Date: April 19, 2007 @ 4:11 PM Why does this site have so many threads about masturbatin' in bibles, showerin' in poo, crappin' in bibles, weein' in the shower, showerin' in bibles etc. Is there really much point?
moam	Date: April 19, 2007 @ 4:12 PM no... Does there have to be?
bigfootofget...	Date: April 19, 2007 @ 4:16 PM Well.... no but it's kinda gettin' crazily out of hand, I mean, "showerin' in the bible" is that even possible?
kingo	Date: April 19, 2007 @ 4:31 PM Does it have to be possible?
bigfootofget...	Date: April 19, 2007 @ 4:33 PM Haha, I suppose not, to be fair, I do actually laugh everytime I think of the silliness behind some of these forums but don't ya think they are maybe gettin' a bit too daft?
sinai	Date: April 19, 2007 @ 5:09 PM the monkey we pay to watch the dial says the needle is still safely on "acceptablely zany" but he'll let us know if it tilts over to "too daft"
ShadowMom	Date: April 19, 2007 @ 5:11 PM So your response it to start another one? And the monkey is watching. "Daft" is acceptable, offensive... is not.
sinai	Date: April 19, 2007 @ 5:13 PM isn't offensive really a matter of perspective anyway? getting hit by a bus is pretty offensive, unless your the bus, in which case it really isn't that big of a deal.

Well, you DID resurrect one after 2 weeks of it slowly being buried, and also created this new one so that attention could be brought to the old ones... so I would not be complaining too much.
shadowself	Date: April 19, 2007 @ 5:24 PM On 19th Apr 2012, sinai said: isn't offensive really a matter of perspective anyway? Very much so. Also, there is nothing in the forum rules about being offensive. They state: We do not allow threads created nor maintained for attacking, threatening, slamming, nor harassing other users, artists, admins, or DMusic in general. We also shall not allow spamming the boards, profanity in subject lines, subjects in all caps, nor continued off topic posts. These rules have not been broken in any of the threads. Different people are offended by different things. If you see a thread that may offend you, don't read it. Some people may be offended by far-right political views, some by the thought of working on Sundays, some by country music - but we all have the right to free speech as long as we're not breaking the rules. And we're not. So deal.

shadowself	Date: April 19, 2007 @ 5:46 PM Wow, that will totally kill the Battles forum, won't it? I guess it's just a pick-and-choose thing.
kingo	Date: April 19, 2007 @ 6:02 PM It also kills pretty much every halaka track ever uploaded here. So far I haven't been asked to remove them. Perhaps there's a hole in the soup?
ChillinBuzz	Date: April 19, 2007 @ 6:12 PM The day this place bows to religious, political or racial pressure, is the day it officially becomes the crappest place on the planet. As Shadowself says, if something offends you, don't read it. Too many bloody do-gooders who think they know what's best for everyone. Well fck them and their fcking stupid narrow minded opinions... but considering the most active and interesting forum subjects lately have been about showers, wanking and bibles (bleh) it would be nice to read something else... like dirty rappers wanting to put their private parts in your mouth... oh wait, that's already happened. Anyway...

sinai	Date: April 19, 2007 @ 6:52 PM do you shower in the terms of agreement while reading the bible and masturbating?
Israfel	Date: April 19, 2007 @ 6:56 PM wow...okay...hmmm I think that comparing a few silly threads to an actual genre of music that happens to have battles may be stretching the idea of free speech just a tad. But that's just my opinion... And while I'm all for free speech and the argument that if it offends you, stop reading it...I also have to admit that it is a fairly shallow argument. But that's just my opinion... Perhaps the point of starting a thread asking if we really need umpteen forums about showering and whatnot isn't really a comment on the actual forum content itself but rather a statement about the rules of comedy. When you have one joke and tell it a thousand times to the same audience, it kinda loses it's humor. But that's just my opinion.... Now, obviously, I'm all for tom-foolery of all sorts, I have been a Catholic, I consider myself spiritual in a way and think I have an open mind about most things, but I can understand from a human point of view how some could be offended. But that's just my opinion... Maybe I'm just being overly sensitive in light of what has been happening here in the US over the past couple of days with the shooting in Virginia...and what has been happening in Iraq, with the US marching ever forward into oblivion... and in parts of Africa, where genocide seems to be the flavor of the day. And maybe political correctness is on overdrive these days too. Surely, a few silly forum threads don't measure to the ridiculous heights of all of that. So, it seems it's a slippery slope...from a random, funny joke to something that could be percieved by some as an outward offense to their beliefs and even their selves. I'm also completely against censorship. So here I am sitting on the fence, seeing both sides and wondering... Is the answer really, "you don't like so don't read it"? And are people really narrow minded if they just don't agree with you? And does speaking up with a different opinion really make you a do-gooder? But that's just my opinion, and as it has been said, if you don't like it, don't read it.

Get the fuck over it Those of you I offended I'm not sorry and I never will be, but I did you guys a favor and put it behind me...can you? Seriously. Get. The. Fuck. Over. It.
Israfel	Date: April 19, 2007 @ 7:06 PM Nope...just my opinion.
GTOriginal	Date: April 19, 2007 @ 7:11 PM Did someone say Pot Shot? Bravo to Mary Everyone is entitled to their opinin. Maybe all these kinda threads can be dumped into a single folder or something, this way the experience is preserved for those who don't want them, and those who do alike.
sinai	Date: April 19, 2007 @ 7:13 PM ease back captain cranberry, i didn't mean it that way
GTOriginal	Date: April 19, 2007 @ 7:16 PM Yeah sure...

Gary, you mean sort of like the Battle Forums? Separate but equal?
GTOriginal	Date: April 19, 2007 @ 7:21 PM I dunno, just thinking and typing at the same time lol, but yeah I guess like that. I am not interested in the battles, so I don't go in there & all is lovely.
K3VIN	Date: April 19, 2007 @ 7:27 PM The whole if you don't like it don't read it is kinda stupid. That's like a racist telling the person he is insulting to put in earplugs when he's shotuing slurs
DeadraveN	Date: April 19, 2007 @ 7:31 PM On 19th Apr 2012, ShadowMom said: Gary, you mean sort of like the Battle Forums? Separate but equal? yeah, we really need a showers/wanking/scriptures forum

Why people jump into threads that they are obviously not going to like and then get all huffy and self-righteous is beyond me.
sinai	Date: April 19, 2007 @ 7:32 PM well, we are trying to be unique among music communities aren't we?

The reason we have so many of these threads is because the ones here who consider themselves the "comedians" have run out of original material, so they feel the need to keep rehashing and rephrasing anything that gets a reaction... hehehe
Israfel	Date: April 19, 2007 @ 7:40 PM Now that's a pot shot! Huffy and self-righteous? Was that aimed at me? I didn't feel huffy or self-righteous when I wrote that. I was just telling my opinion. Sorry if I came off huffy and self-righteous...that wasn't my intention at all.
DeadraveN	Date: April 19, 2007 @ 7:41 PM I used to own a huffy 12 speed. It had lightning bolts on it. I ended up wrapping it around a tree.

shadowself	Date: April 19, 2007 @ 7:46 PM scrolling back Actually - I totally MISSED that post, Israfel!
moam	Date: April 19, 2007 @ 7:49 PM but seriously though. do we need to keep raising this from the dead I think its retarded that people get all upset over these threads and I stay with my opinion. Let's drop it and forget about it, unless you people WANT me to keep making them to keep this boring drama going... Cause like I said, I don't care what anyone thinks. Just drop it. K, I'm done responding in these threads...
Israfel	Date: April 19, 2007 @ 7:51 PM Okay, shadowself!
DeadraveN	Date: April 19, 2007 @ 7:51 PM **************This thread is locked from the outside. Those still in here will not be let out***********
GTOriginal	Date: April 19, 2007 @ 7:59 PM On 31st Dec 1969, DeadraveN said: yeah, we really need a showers/wanking/scriptures forum No, but I definately see the need for an "Anything Goes / Free For All" forum around here. On other web sites, admins simply blast these threads and ban the posters with no discussion whatsoever. DM has always been less agressively policed that those inferior web sites, and that is a small part of why it kicks their asses all over the web. Just offering a solution that should make everyone happy.
kingo	Date: April 19, 2007 @ 10:08 PM 1. Those threads DO fit in the "thoughts for the day" forum. Unless "thoughts for the day" means something specific that isn't made clear in the bible. 13. SOMEBODY PLEASE START A THREAD THAT'S INTERESTING THAT GETS A BUNCH OF DMers PARTICIPATING. In the absense of that, I'm gonna continue to wank all over everything until I get tired and fall asleep. 17.5. If I offend anyone by attacking any and all religious beliefs, that's because I'm offensive about that subject to anyone who doesn't agree with me. 105. Ex-claymation point.
imemine	Date: April 19, 2007 @ 10:11 PM What I want to know is---WHY DO YOU CARE? Ohhhh----I love claymation!
kingo	Date: April 19, 2007 @ 10:15 PM Did you mean something in particular when you asked why I care? Cuz if you're referring to #17.5, it'd take a lot more than a forum thread for me to answer. If you're referring to something else, I plead the Nth. If you're not talking to me, I'm sleepy anyway.
ChillinBuzz	Date: April 19, 2007 @ 10:17 PM "And does speaking up with a different opinion really make you a do-gooder?" Issy darling, don't take out the context. I was referring to those more extreme groups that don't so much voice an opinion as force it on you. 'Tis all. A free for all forum would be good BUT it's going to need age verification at this rate The other problem was that this forum WAS being more aggressive with its' rule enforcement but people were complaining then as well... Can't satisfy them all.
hate9wicket	Date: April 19, 2007 @ 10:24 PM If we didnt have the type of insanity that is forum insanity, the insanity of the real world would drive us insane. My
imemine	Date: April 19, 2007 @ 10:29 PM 1) I wasn't talking about you. 9) We agreed that 17.5 was never to be spoken about unless we were drinking! 27) WHY? 32) NOTHING IS SACRED ANYMORE!!!!!
ChillinBuzz	Date: April 19, 2007 @ 11:53 PM 69) Yes please.
evansorchid	Date: April 20, 2007 @ 12:21 AM Moam, wake up.... ....I think you left the shower running.
LiQuidMetamo...	Date: April 20, 2007 @ 12:27 AM Everyone has something that pushes their buttons and/or has a crappy day and feels the need to vent on someone. you know sometimes it isn't the content, something just riles you to the point of venting. What I don't get is that people post stuff which is very provocative and offensive to some people, then are surprised when people react with an opinion against it. I would have thought that this goes with the territory. People are surely intelligent enough to know that posting racist, sacrilegious or plain vulgar material will draw a reaction? Some understand and are attention seeking but others seem naive to this ?? That's weird to me. Free speech works both ways, people are free to post immature Beavis and Butthead style postings on showers, peeing and bibles if they want to but people also have the right to respond to it too. That is what a free society is about. So self-righteous do gooders might annoy people posting controversial topics in the name of 'humor' by dissenting but they have as much right to post their opinion. And Amen to it. I am against censorship and pro democracy. And also learn to not take things personally, I have said plenty of dumb and offensive things in my time too
Opossum	Date: April 20, 2007 @ 12:37 AM We need more threads about cabbages and kings.
GTOriginal	Date: April 20, 2007 @ 7:33 AM Racism? Wasn't that last week? Catch up.

Ok, so if daft is acceptable, then that rules out the ones about peeing in the shower and stuff, but if offensive isn't, doesn't that include anything refering to the bible, coz I would class that as offensive.
kingo	Date: April 20, 2007 @ 11:20 AM Everything's offensive to somebody.
bigfootofget...	Date: April 20, 2007 @ 11:23 AM Yeah, but reference to the bible is offensive for religious and racist reasons, which I don't and I know some other people, don't think is right.
kingo	Date: April 20, 2007 @ 12:03 PM Yes. You don't think it's right = you're offended by it. Everything's offensive to somebody = someone doesn't thing any given thing is right.
kingo	Date: April 20, 2007 @ 12:03 PM thing thing, thing = thing thing, thinK, TryThePreviewButtonIdiot, thing thingTHiNGthink.
bigfootofget...	Date: April 20, 2007 @ 12:05 PM So you totally agree with bein' offensive to religions and races?
HenriRoger	Date: April 20, 2007 @ 12:09 PM I'll try an other angle ... Water is a symbol of purity in many cultures . Using the word shower refers to watter,purity and cleaning . By using the word shower and scatological words ,the threads creators subconsciousness is trying to clean up their dirty souls ....
NickSawyer	Date: April 20, 2007 @ 12:24 PM the reason: because we're all stupid. Not counting me of coarse
kingo	Date: April 20, 2007 @ 12:38 PM On 20th Apr 2012, getphatrecords said: So you totally agree with bein' offensive to religions and races? I am fine with saying things that offend peoples' religious sensibilities, just like I am fine with saying things that offend peoples' political sensibilities, because those things are things that people can (and should) hold by conscious choice. I am not so fine with saying things that are racially offensive because a persons' race is not arrived at by conscious choice. If your contention is that racially offensive things and religiously offensive things are the same, I'd like to hear an explanation.
bigfootofget...	Date: April 20, 2007 @ 4:32 PM Racism and religion are grouped together. You can often tell what religion someone is by looking at them. E.g. someone with Asian hertiage is often Muslim. So it shows how they are linked.
shadowself	Date: April 20, 2007 @ 5:24 PM Wow.
BOWILLIE	Date: April 20, 2007 @ 5:27 PM i guess looking like george bush makes you a asshole.

I'm not sure where to even really start with what you just said. Maybe I shoulda just stuck with what Clarke said. Wow.
evansorchid	Date: April 21, 2007 @ 1:47 AM scatological.....that's such a fun sounding word.
bigfootofget...	Date: April 21, 2007 @ 3:26 AM The whole point of this topic is, ya ain't offended by talkin' bout masturbatin' on the bible, but others are, and I know ya gonna say that they shouldn't read it, but when ya see the forum topic there it's kinda hard to ignore the fact that it's there.
ChillinBuzz	Date: April 21, 2007 @ 3:33 AM I agree... although the bible might have been more interesting had God uttered the words "Let There Be Spunk... and the spunk was good."
ChillinBuzz	Date: April 21, 2007 @ 3:34 AM Now THAT was offensive... so for all you bibleheads... STICK IT UP YOUR @$$!
bigfootofget...	Date: April 21, 2007 @ 5:05 PM It's clear people don't have the same views as me and a few other people. So shall we just forget about the whole thing and continue?
Woof	Date: April 21, 2007 @ 8:50 PM I don't think that it ought to be forgotten, because the subject has come up before, and probably will again. It's like this... You don't walk in to a B&D club, and then complain to the management that the club patrons are practicing B&D. This place is kind of like that... it has a certain character, and people who want that character hang out here. Those that don't find other places on the web to be. That's the sensible thing to do. It would be different if there was some kind of glue holding us all together. In other words, if we were united to accomplish some kind of common goal, we would all be willing to have a little give and take, so that we could work together as a community. I've seen no such common goal. Railing against the RIAA? Too weak of a cause. There are other places on the web doing a much better job of it, than us. Providing a real alternative to commercial music? I'm afraid that's also not very binding. Many folks in this community are recording for fun... at home... and I don't see a lot of people here looking seriously at what the majors are doing, and using their own resources to come up with something that can really compete. This is a hangout. No more, no less. For some, it's a cool place that they want to spend quality time at... and for others, it's just another website. Is it for you? I don't know. That's a decision that every one of us makes for ourselves.

LiQuidMetamo...	Date: April 22, 2007 @ 8:29 AM Woof, I agree with much of what you have said but also think it's a very broad statement. There are some musicians here who are producing excellent work that stands up to the 'pro' major label work (in terms of songwriting and musicianship) or at least close to 'pro' demo standards and given that most of us don't record at the Record Plant or Larrabee etc. but squeeze what we can from a few hundred to a few grand worth of recording gear that's to be admired. And we're not exclusive, we don't say 'you recorded this vocal and acoustic performance using a 5 dollar computer mic into a freeware program, so we don't want to know about you or your music'. Which is a very good thing, big and beautiful things start from small seeds, right ! Dmusic is also a good place to hang out 95% of the time, which is a bonus, I try not to let myself be ruled by it though, that would cut into my music time too much. But for a few minutes in between work, family and music commitments, I enjoy my Dmusic fix !
GTOriginal	Date: April 24, 2007 @ 7:46 AM Attention! Please check the toggle settings: Sucks that they cancelled Solid Gold, doesn't it??? Next time I wanna hear a bunch of pretty boys lip synching a Britney tune, it's off to Sam Goody for me. Meanwhile, for homespun musical art (as opposed to prepackaged commercial fluff) I will stay right here on DMusic. I may, however, start making character judgements on others because it looks like fun...
zedsalt	Date: April 24, 2007 @ 10:31 AM Every time I read this thread's title, the jukebox in my head switches over to the Muppet's "Rainbow Connection", even thought the prosody's all wrong...
