there are several things that perplex me about peoples reactions to the sites we create.

The first is this idea that everyone feels they have the right to tell others what they can and can't say. there was a time when the values of this country were centered around freedoms guaranteed and protected by the constitution.

"oh my god... we have to have this site taken down right away... even if its a joke"

Really?

Where does that end? ANYONE can say that about anything. ANYONE can use that same logic and reasoning to construct arguments as to why this forum shouldn't exist... why you should be able to talk about things you care about. But of course, you would never accept that because it would be someone telling YOU what you can and can't do rather than you telling others. Why do you feel you have the right to tell others what can and can't be said, what can and can't be read and decide for them what is and isn't funny? I've got news for you... you don't. Protected speech is protected speech. Period. End of story. You do live in the USA... we do have a constitution. Something that many have fought and died for and made unimaginable sacrifice to make sure you and I have these rights. Now you are playing God? Huh?

Since when did the US become N. Korea?

Since when did you decide that you now are Chairman of The Peoples Glorious Committee Of Kim Jong Il for What Can and Can't Be Funny Or Laughed at In The Peoples Republic of North Korea??

The other thing that has truly perplexed me is the absolute, complete and total stupidity of people. Really? You can't think for yourself? An obvious hoax site, making impossible claims that soooo obviously can't be real and YOU can't figure it out in a couple seconds? You really want to believe that not only is there this massive underground dog fighting league... but that some guy is actively running a website to sell it as a "get rich quick" opportunity and the FBI, state and local police don't stop it? Are you seriously that dumb? the entire site is filled with humor (whether you find it distasteful or funny is another discussion) and clearly not written to be serious.

I think you people need to get a grip... stop and take a hard look at your over the top reaction to a bad joke and start asking yourself what that says about you.

Then, maybe put a little post-it note on your computer that simply says "learn to think for myself" - just because something is online, doesn't make it real. a 10 year old could create that site that you are so worked up about. I mean really... thats one domain out of over 130,000,000 - and a few web pages out of billions. You are going to get pissed about everything? About a fake dog fighting site?

How about getting pissed the economy, about starving children, growing use of meth in public schools, or genocide or war?

A bad joke?

Seriously?

Thats what is giving your life meaning right now? A sense of purpose?

What a shame... and what a waste.
