Memories....
but i know there's around 6-8 Arab blogs same issues, go and read what there blogs there posts .. they proud to be gays and fight for that and they simply talk about it frankly and made there blog to say hey am GAY ...
almost each post talk about the sub .. honestly its not GOOD , gay its ur feels put if going to post and mention it in every single post its become SICK ...
There is a huge point that everyone is missing. This is not a case of censorship. This is a case of organizing Blogs.
You choose to organize a list of Blogs (Qwaider Planet) with a certain theme, the Blogs you include in your Planet are hand picked with a certain criteria.
Including or excluding Blogs in your Planet has nothing to do with censorship, no one is stopping him/her from expressing their views, but they can do that on their own space not yours.
Peace
sorry for being so rude and tough, samer, but ....
peace to all...
there's little room for religion, beliefs and morality any more.
so here's what i think.
you as qwaider, can either stand for something or stand for nothing. it can't be both ways. your planet should be a reflection of that.
i'm not saying you should add blog that only agree with you socially, politically, religiously, morally, etc-ly.
i'm saying judge the blog for its content not its author and his life decisions.
is it what you want others to be reading? is it what your readers want to be reading? young and old? male and female?
make a content decision.
You do what you believe in your heart is right. I tried to join 2 or 3 times iToot or whatever site. They never accepted me or bothered. I think they didn't like my site's title or my site's contents. I don't see it being any different than the rest.
So if you think culturally, and religiously, it's a big no no. But if you think democracy and freedom of speech. Than it is you should add him. He is still an Arab.
Tough call eh..
The part that is annoying me is that this is not a Blogger who happens to be homosexual or whatever. It's a blog about some one's sexual orientation and regardless of the gender or the orientation, the result is still the same. Someone is discussing their sexuality. And Qwaider planet is about anything related to Arabic culture which considers this to be a "behind closed doors" matter
Sex on it's own is not a taboo to Qwaider Planet, actually there are no taboos. But dedicating blog just for celebrating one sexual orientation or another is a non-goal
I'm still not sure what I should do. I stand for diversity and tolerance, which drives me to accept it. At the same time I do want to be sensitive to the readers. This empathy drives me to not accept it.
I'm so confused!
but then again, if you don't and his blog isn't about bing a homosexual, then why not add him? i mean, people are entitled to be whatever they want, eventhough i personally disagree with the whole concept of homosexuality, i can still tolerate a gay person and their thoughts on anything else. but as lots of jordanians are, i'm still somewhat homophobic.
again, i say to you, this is your website, this is to reflect your beliefs and thoughts. you must be true to YOURSELF and YOURSELF alone. write down a mission statement, if homosexuality fits in there then it's a different story.
You are responsible and accountable for the content you spread on your website... I'm talking about your moral obligation... Media is a very powerful tool and you can't just say this is about tolerance, its not... its promotion for a gay community in Jordan, no matter what he says... What is your stand on that issue and that issue alone? Its not about being cool and tolerant... What is your reference in deciding if something is wrong or not... There is always a reference... Mine is Islam and it says its wrong just as stealing and prostitution is wrong you might want to steal or be gay and no one can judge you based on what you want at heart if you refraine yourself but when you promote it and when you do it then you're guilty... What about promoting adultry, a new intersting blog would be about confessions of a prostitute in Jordan... It's gonna be a hit...
Qwaider don't be a building block in promoting a gay community in Jordan... You're website represents Jordan, this is not Jordan as much as adultary is...
Every one made a good point, we all blog about our views, beliefs and life in general. but this dude is dedicating the blog to his sexual life ! I don't want to read about that! its not about equal chances or tolerance its about having standards, I don't care what a bloggers orientation is as long as they have QUALITY posts, and diverse ones. which is not the case
I vote NO
fact is, with the existing blog directories, we don't know and we don't care about the the person's sexual habit so long as they don't shove it down our throat. and yes, it's don't ask don't tell BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO KNOW ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE'S PORN.
Jordan is a conservative country and we like it this way. no plans for hetro or gay parades, or necro day, or pedophile freedom week.
Not adding him will not take any right he have, and adding him is not a right of him (or anyone)..
Now as I said, I'm a little bit confused, but hearing from everyone is a good thing. I think I will eventually go with the consensus.
Qwaider planet is not mine alone. Sure, I maintain it. But it's everyone's
but it's up to you to add or not.. if it was me I WOULDN'T!
but i guess he got the attention he wants...there is no need to add him to any planet he now his own planet :)
its ur place, and ur choice. iza meqtene3 go for it, iza bi3ared what u believe in then dont. full stop :)
la3anno ma 7ada 3ajabo ya zalameh!
ba3dein you have a social responsibility towards the jordanian bloggers, already i can tell that the people do not want him to be added. so just dont!
If you decline his request (which you have full authority to do), this might raise a question of who's standards this planet lives by. But it's called qwaider planet so i guess it's kind obvious :-p...
In the end, it is your planet, and you get to select it's denizens. Just do what you believe in most.
PS: I have to say that i'm against homosexuality, true that they are human beings themselves, but in my view they are attacking the very fabric of society, and thus shouldn't be allowed to "infect" other people!!
you definetly should add him, and let everyone express his feelings! :)
He isn't posting porn on his blog! He is blogging about his experience in life. Qwaider planet is a diverse place. People can read what they want to read.
We can't keep on outcasting people like Mohammad. Maybe he really has a message that he wants to share with others. Why not hear it and think about it?
Why do we have to cover our heads in the sand instead of facing what's really going on in our society?
Wouldn't we want to read about that and know what's going on?
Every person would prefer not to read one blog or another. Thats more or less a fact. So its best if you provide a handy tool where users can choose to skip the content of certain blogs. Something like [ignore blog] button.
This way everyone is happy. You are being an admin that is pro-speech, without forcing people to read things they don't want to be exposed to.
You can have a control panel with options like:
[X] Hide sexual content
[X] Filter vulgar language
[X] Hide political blogs (I personally would pick this :P )
[X] ... etc
This might be a lot of work, but its well worth it.
How about adding it with a warning or within a seperate category of blogs that some may find too risqué... that way people who aren't interested in reading that sort of stuff, just don't have to click on it.
As for cases of children, who read blogs and may click on it, I say "Hey parents! Keep an eye on your kids!"
end result is, am never going there again. in my humble opinion its bland an uninteresting.
getting to discuss moral issues is too much of an overkill, not everytime the word "gay" is thrown you have to open that can of worms.
simply quality wise its as generic as it gets, if it was my planet i would refuse it for that not for being gay or whatever else that person might be.
I am talking objectively what my simple mind says stressig that I am not standing with him nor sympathising even, 2enta fi mawkef la tu7sad 3aleh..I suggest to make voting system and readers can decide.
since u guys were rejected by most US blogospheres...why do u think arabs should make an exception for u...!!! if the culture created u has rejected u...why ask for others to accept u...doesnot make anysense..
yeah arabs mentality will change by time for teh best, hopefully...but as for an open minded arab, i dont see accepting homosexuality (or any abnormal thing by our society)is something to do with being liberal...
cannot deny that there r old ACCEPTED things need to be changed in society, but as for those rights u ask for...i donot think anyone will stand with u to fight and change it... and with all respect for ppl saying that gays do exist in jordan, yes they do and i have seen some of them years ago, one of the gays is downtown selling lottery tickets and most ppl know he is "one of those ppl"..and u can tell if a guy is a guy or not...by cetain things...we, ppl know and "those ppl" donot need to promote and say "hey we do exist!!"...have ur own blog and promote for it...away from normal ppl...plzzzzz.....
sorry, samer if i sound so rude or tough, but i donot want them to use this excuse "freedom of speech" as a tool to find their way in ur planet...it is true it is urs and u can decide, at the end, but i hate to say it going there....trust me...some ppl will be turned off by seeing someone like some abnormal ppl around...
peace to all and respect to all ppl around here...
And the little dots girl is gonna read this?!!
and that madness up there??!!
May allah help us..wallahi i'm sick already..
With gays, zionists and goats..it's like hell's doors broke loose!!
Qwaider..Do something!!
This has got to be the LONGEST comment ever!
Dima
It's not up to me alone, this is a community and in a community we all need to think collectively
Manal Y
It's not the matter of up to me or not, there are certain things that are causing all sort of confusion to me in multitude in directions. This is not a "black and while" situation. Although I sincerely hoped it would be
Verbal Alchemy
I'm more confused than convinced. And this is what's bothering me. On one side I have my tolerance and diversity. And on the other is my cultural and social sensitivity. It's really hard to decide
Mazz
I'm not sure that's what he wants. He states clearly that it's not his intention. But if you read through you find it all over the place.
The thing that bothers me is that there is nothing wrong with a writer who "Happens to be" gay. But there is a huge difference between that and someone having a blog with it's title "Gay in Jordan"
Al Faisal El Dajani
It's not mine alone. I am trying to be a good citizen in this community, it's not Qwaider planet meaning my own dictated wishes on top of everyone.
Freedom of speech with limits of course. Where it doesn't contradict with the wishes of the masses. It is not that easy.
I think the social views are a little bit skewed on this matter, and I totally see that people are more open to talk about Atheism than homosexuality. And this by it's nature puts the Taboo triangle back online. Religion, Politics and Sex
I don't see anyone bothered with the former two so I'm not sure why Sex and ONLY in the homogeneous way is the remaining Taboo
Weded
Now what's that supposed to mean!? :(
Roba
Thanks for your short straight answer. I'm taking it under advisement and seriously thinking about it. Yet, the decision is still too difficult to make. I am more inclined towards agreeing with you on this
Haitham
Thanks, Like I said to Roba. I'm considering it
TheObserver#1
Thanks buddy, I'm considering it
TheObserver#2
These are not the same. Alcoholism, substance abuse is totally different matter than homosexuality and we really shouldn't equate the two.
Vas
Thanks, I'm considering it ... and will see what will come out of it
Devil's mind
I was waiting to hear from you on this. Unfortunately, user-side filtering is really not an option because it will mean that everyone needs to register to get access. Not an easy task
The language on the blog is not worse than the language that you would read on Moey's blog for example or Rebellious Arab girl. Moderate profanity but of homosexual nature (especially when it comes to comments), which I don't aggregate
It's hard to have an Ignore blog button, sometimes I wonder if there could be such a thing for human beings ... But there isn't
It might be worth it ... I don't know .... I'm still considering the alternatives
Beti
That's the problem everyone is facing. We are looking from our cultural, religious and parental eyes and not through the broad view of everyone in the world. The fact is, homosexuality exists. We try to look the other way but it will not go away.
I totally agree with you on Parental guidance in these cases and I prefer to see blogs with better ratings. Things that will keep younger audience away from harm's way. A blog needs to be clear on the fact that it's G, PG or R and X rated for older audiences
Wedad#2
I don't believe in many things, but I still find room to allow others to have it. I don't eat pork but this doesn't mean that I don't want anyone else in the world not to eat it!
Bambam
Yeah, that's right. I often use the word "interesting" when I have mixed emotions and I'm not sure I want to praise or curse the issue
RedRose
Yes my friend, it's very tough. I think Qwaider planet is an attempt to contain as much of these different views as possible. But there are apparently some social Taboos that no one is willing to accept. Many criticized my move to keep Arab Lady in Qwaider planet. But I disagree and think it's her right to express her feelings. So why not him!? very hard question to answer!
Sameer, Mustafa, Marwan ...
I got the idea, and I agree with you that the west is committing discriminatory actions against our culture. But the solution is not by reverse-discrimination against universal values. Its really tough
By the way, I love goats they have such good meat... :)
Take it easy my dear. I totally understand where you're coming from. But I think those two comments are there to make a point. And I get it.
I do see homosexuals as normal people who have their own existence and issues to discuss and I'm not opposing that if the blog was about that. It's in fact, NOT about that but rather about other details that I wouldn't normally accept from a straight guy or a girl. And this is the true measure at the end.
So we're back to the evil triangle again, Religion, Politics and Sex
Caller
See what I said to Afaf, I think someone was just trying to make a point. And they exaggerated it a little bit
[Whisperer #1]
I totally know that "Hadith" and believe in it. And I think I will eventually end up offending some people. I'm just trying to keep that to a minimum.
[Whisperer #2]
I understand, you feel upset if you see this stuff from anywhere and won't go back. I know this is a HUGE can of worms and that Roba and "Shillet el Ons" will come and parade through it. (and I happen to respect her views by the way), But I totally believe that there is nothing wrong with seeking advice and "testing the waters" to see what could work. Don't you think?
And I'm glad you like the new enhancements :) I made them just for you
As for me, add him in.
wallahi if i am queen drama and came up with a blog all about tragedies and depression all day long just projecting depressing feelings...do u want me to come over and ask to add a link for my blog...i guess u would say "heya na2sakeee??"....so it is the same here...
i never considered the evil traingle to be evil...my standard was always not to discuss religion nor politics, cuz it is neither win nor loose situation...i believe in what i believe in..and noone can change that...as for sexuality...i am normal person, have limits to discuss it publicly...
sorry for my lengthy comment...u know i should start my own blog!!!
again samer, sorry if i sounded rude or harsh here...
peace and respect to all of u ppl here...
You don't believe in that now do you. if you do, there is a Zionist, KKK, Skinhead, pedophile, necrophiliac out there who will demand you respect his point of view. Universal values exist in text books and wen we want to impress our audeince. in the real world, there is Iraq, palestine, lebanon, Kosovo, Rawanda, Vietnam, WW I, WW II, Hiroshima, Nagazaki, Comfort Girls, Cultural Revolutions, etc.
I'll decide soon ... and please ... stop playing with your name and settle on something so people can get your point!
So if we can fix the mistakes of the west, why do we need to hesitate?!
We might not like something but this doesn't categorize it as Taboo immediately.
THAT'S why it's so hard to take a decision
That was funny guys. Infact, I wish you were real because I would find it interesting to read about both of your views.
The problem with us is that we want to close our minds. We don't want to think. We think that thinking would harm us. Knowledge would kill us! It is sad.
Qwaider, I think that you are in a position to really make a difference in our Jordanian society. You can be the first one to really give us freedom to express whatever we feel like to say, or you can be like many others who suppressed us over the years.
Be a leader and do the right choice for the sake of humanity.
Don't evade the question with any talk... just be honest with us and with yourself... Cause promoting it is encouraging it...
I would be chocked and disappointed if he has been added ... cuz u should be selective and it's ur site and u can decide ...
another brutally dull cliche. you seem to watch too much Matrix, not to mention you are being totally absurd, not open-minded, to suggest that those who don't tolerate colonialism and fascism are closed minded. there is a point after which your show of "tolerance" goes even beyond the theoretical and into the twilight zone of intellectual masturbation. and it's right at this point when i respectfully bow out of this discussion since there is little value in it.
Some of the bloggers think this is personal and he can do whatever he wants and express his feeling in the way he wants…and it is up to the other bloggers to read his blog or not..
I have to say this people…this is not a personal thing…in Islam what is he doing is forbidden (haram)...it is written so clearly in Quran…
So NO it is not up to him…he is frankly saying that he is making haram things…we can't encourage him to do so…
I Believe these guys know what they are facing…for now they are not looking for acceptance…just discussing this in public is more than enough for them..
Read what that guy wrote:
" dear jasmine
I will not call u narrow minded or HOMOPHOBIC
just talking about gays issues is a gr8 step in acceptance of homo's in the community
& u did this step
:)"
Enough said.
Life didn't stop at Palestine. Life didn't stop at Iraq, And life is sure not going to stop because some silly kids with blogs are putting what they think of on paper
Yes, many are clueless, but many have valid points and I think our society, like many others is undergoing labor. Many good things will come out of it
People are dying everywhere, and people are being born everyday. Life doesn't stop for death. In fact, Death yields to life, it takes priority. The positive over the negative, joy over sorrow and diversity over discrimination
I am fully aware of what Islam's position on this. But this is different. Anyway, I already made my decision and may Allah forgive me if I have erred
Before you come here and shout your junk, tell me what YOU have done to the Arab world and nations? I don't see you standing in the front line fighting. Go ahead ... be my guest!
We on the other hands try to present our issues to the world. Don't look at it in the context of THIS specific post. This is post number 678 out 681 posts. You can't judge a book by a single phrase in page 500!
We try, and we are gaining grounds and the world is starting to listen to what we have to say! We are making a difference and we're changing the world.
You are projecting beliefs either way (personal or not)... Unless you think that the material we read doesn't affect our thoughts in any way...
I don't know what else to say... simply put, you drive traffic to his blog (we all know the content its not appropriate in your eyes as much as in mine)... and if giving him more exposure does not support him I don't what does!!
What has this to do with us not being in one tone with other Arab countries...
The reason why this has more comments than anyplace else is that in this "Planet" we can actually have a saying or some sort of control "if I'm not mistaken"... Yes its about a gay man in Jordan which is nothing compared to the atrocities in the world... but here we have control over this seemingly tiny issue...
I'm sure that if one of the decision makers ever asks bloggers to have a saying (voting) as to should we march on to Iraq or Palastine... you will find millions of votes and actions from the same people who are commenting here....
Your last line said it all... so go to your gay rights and Johny Walker... fight there cause you're doing a great job, I'm sure Palestine and Iraq are appreciate your stand on these issues!!!!!!
Let me know if you support the decision or not!
Thanks
thank u for starting this wonderful modern discussion about my blog
2 be honest with u I'm surprised about this explosion!!
it's obvious that the majority here don't like the blog & they don't want it 2 be added 2 QWAIDER PLANET
but let me tell u something
الإنسان عدو ما يجهل
ppl r afraid from what they don't know
I'm Jordanian & I know how most of ppl in Jordan think about lesbians & gays
but I will not give up from trying 2 make ppl in my lovely country 2 understand homosexuals in a better way
It is sadly 4 me 2 c someone mixing between homosexuality & pedophilia or Femininity!!
it seems there is a long way for homosexuals 2 pass before they become understood in Jordan
I can't understand why some think the blog is porno?
if u think poetry of Nezar Qabani or songs of Kazem ALsaher is porno so u can think my blog is porno!!
(sorry 4 saying this)
but plz I'm a person with good manners & from a good family I will never ever write a bad language in my blog
It is a matter of expression of my internal feeling which I can't say it in front of my friends or others because they will disrespect me!!
I will be very happy if u add me 2 QWAIDER PLANET because I want 2 enter Jordanian bloggers community
now it is a wish 4 me 2 be accepted from u and from ur planet readers & friends
plz think about me as a human who is normal the only deferent between me & heterosexuals is in sexual orientation, I have emotions like others & I have the right 2 express them, I'm not asking anyone 2 read my blog if he/she feels disgusting from it (simply u can ignore the blog!!)
be sure I'm not looking 4 famous or something silly like this; it is the opposite way!! it is dangers 4 my life 2 post in the blog because I'm writing about my daily activities and someone may recognize me & tell the others!!
We live in small country!!
sorry 4 being late 2 comment here; I discovered the discussion today!!
In the end it is ur decision 2 add my blog or not
plz think twice before u decide & plz be biased 2 the side of speech freedom
and QWAIDER PLANET readers & friends plz be biased 2 the side of human respect & equality this is all what I need from u
dear Sid W #6
there is no comment from u arrived 2 my blog
I will publish any comment comes 2 my blog whether I agree with it or not !!
In my opinion freedom of expression is holy
by the way could plz give me a technical support?
I'm new in blogging!!
Do u know how 2 make comments published without a permission from the blog owner??
dear Mohanned #15
I'm not editing comments and delete what I don't like!!
It is a new blog not a lot of ppl have heard about it so most of the comments r still supporting 2 me!!
I swear I'm not filtering any comments !!
my blog is not a sexual mission!!
it is a freedom mission
I respect that there r ppl don't care about the blog or it's content
It's ok 4 me
there is no sexual crusade, It is only a mater of feeling expression
dear u suggest 2 make a gay directory, there r already gay directories I did not participate in them because I don't like 2 be categorized according 2 my sexual orientation
I'm a normal person I wish if I can tell u who I am in reality ( I mean my real full name, what I'm studying....etc.) because I'm next door man!!
Have you ever excluded other blogs? Based on what? Content? Riske martial? Just treat it the same way.
I personally think you should add it, as Mohammed said, he does not have any bad language or sexually explicit martial (his blog is not interesting by the way, badly written)
I don't like maybe 80% of the blogs on ANY planet and I don't click on them, it does not mean you should exclude them.
I don't like to preach or lecture but here's a previous comment I left on The observers post (it was edited a bit to fit this discussion):
You fail to see why we should try and "protect his rights" or “respect them” because the same Arab rules that do not let him do what he wants to do without being harassed or called names does not allow an Arab Jordanian woman to give her child the Jordanian citizenship or a Saudi woman from driving.
It’s all connected you see.
We have to look beyond being Arab or Muslim here
It means a lot from a humans rights perspective to look beyond religion or culture and let them be. He is human and he deserves to be respected regardless of his sexual orientation (unless he is a bad person of course). Depriving him of his rights means depriving other people that are different from their rights too and using culture and religion as an excuse.
Let me give you an example, there was a bill here in Canada to allow gay marriage, this bill was passed in Parliament. Then comes another new government that wanted to disallow it again on the basis of religion that a marriage has to be between a man and a woman, the bill passed again to allow gay marriage.
I was for it 100% because if we allow the government to disallow this it means that some day they might disallow other things that mean a lot to me, like for example they might decide to disallow people from taking religious time off or they might disallow women from breast feeding in public, you know what I mean? (I just threw these out as examples).
At the end of the day, Nas had the best advise to offer.
dear gay jordanian, cut the crap please and do not insult my intelligence. I am old enough to tell the difference and you ARE on a sexual crusade. that's your business but keep me and others out of it.
"I don't like 2 be categorized according 2 my sexual orientation"
PLEEEEZZZ! now you are being absurd. You are not a mainstream blogger just because you say you are. it seems the majority of jordanisn bloggers who are part of this discussion think your blog is a sexual crusade. we all think you have the right to say what you want, and we have the right to read what we want. When you create a blog not focused on your sexuality, i am sure no one would care about what you do in your private life. else, just join a blog directory that focuses on sexuality. that simple.
7aki Fadi, Qwaider planet is not a safe heaven for sexual crusades. the gay Jordanians human rights are not violated. he can create 1000 blogs and create his own planet and do whatever he pleases.
We could care less what Canadians think of gay marriages. if they consider it moral and legal for gays to marry and adopt and OK to have extramarital relationships but they consider it retarded and criminal to marry two women, then we have a case of hypocrisy at a minimum or outright racism. I am not an advocate of polygamy or homosexuality but there is either consistency or there is not. When there is not, there is no credibility. and at the end of the day, each culture makes its own rules, consistent or not.
I fixed it for you
Yes I have, for inappropriate content. and ONLY once. The content was way too inappropriate
Those didn't have the luxury of having their voice heard... Just got chopped off!
The internet is an open speace .. or at least that what we think of it ... the freedom we all asking for could be tow ways highway ... so as i want to express my thoughts/feelings via the internet i expect other ppl to agree or disagree with me .. but no matter what other ppl thing .. the respect is all what it's about ... so even if i don't agree with u i'll respect u .. and i expect the same from yr side ... that's what we all seeking for ...
and about this topic .. my opinion is ... u MUST respect all others opinions no matter if it's fitting u or not .. u can't take freedom just when it's fitting u ... and leave it when it's not ...
another point .. why u ppl defind any homosexual script as a pornography but when it's about hetrosexual scripts it's just expressions ! ... let's be fair with others and let's act the way we expect others to act with us ...
that's it :) ... and thx for reading
RAM, YOUR CLICHES ARE KILLING ME. So you will respect a Nazi or a Zionist if he expresses his racial supremacist views? What about a pedophile expressing his love for child sex. would you respect that? PLEEEEEEZZZ PEOPLE, SOME ORIGINAL THOUGHT WOULD NOT HURT.
Thanks Verbal Alchemy. If I was to invite such a person to my party at home. I would fear for their life!
Qwaider, that's a colossal cheap shot. you are hiding behind your commentators to cover your disdain for gays. it's not a nice thing to do. no one, in all the comments I read, suggested anything other than live and let live approach to differences. this is very neo-liberal of you, to claim openness but blame your hard-line decisions on others and society. Sounds like so Arab leaders we know.
Qwaider you know you can add a gay website and no one can or would stop you or even would care to stop you and there would be no repercussions. But Qwaider you want to have your cake and eat it too. You want to ban a gay website, position yourself as a tolerant guy who is a victim of his community of bloggers.
This is the last time I participate in your blog or consider adding my blog to your directory.
I said that out of genuine concern for the person's life.
But regarding the matter, See that Poll up there on the right? Cast your vote. And I promise I will follow what ever it says.
I don't need to prove that I am tolerant to every person who challenges that! It's enough that there are people who I have a lot of conflict with on the planet. Believe it or not. I don't agree with everything written there and believe it or not, I do nothing about it! Because I respect other's right to express themselves
This is the extent of my tolerance, and if you know how to do this in any better way teach me how and light a candle .. instead of cursing the dark
This poll has two factors to check so, unless someone has unlimited number of IP Addresses, they will not be able to do anything
Second, I said (100 comments back) that I could just hide behind it and no one would be able to blame me, so what you're saying is not new
Third, are you enjoying all the drama here?? I'm glad you are
Apparently, someone is schizophrenic here
I suggest that you don't "test" the limits of my tolerance here.
fact: anyone logging in via an ISP will have multiple IP address every time he disconnects and reconnects. so one person could vote 100 times if not more and skew the results of the poll.
I fail to see what you're going to accomplish with this! But I'm just going to entertain the idea
you can test this theory by disconnecting for some while (varies from ISP to ISP) then logging in and visit a website such as http://www.showip.com to see your IP number.
All online polls are flawed and results can be forged.

Please don't argue with an MCSE unless you are one.
Anyway, go ahead, influence the decision for the poll, this is not like we're electing the president or anything ...
LOL!! This will provide the people who know me with a really good laugh ...
Thank you ... Seriously, Ignorance is bliss
Little steps ... maybe one day people will see past the texts and their own phobia... but I don't think we're ready yet!
add for the quality of posts and blog.
if you find it capable of making your criteria regardless to the author's personal sexual favourites, religion, race or whatever
just add it.
It's risky as hell though, I can't deny.
I would say that as "one thing or another"
But I view that in it's specifics as in, I might stand for freedom of speech when it comes to women's rights but when it comes to gays not be as tolerant! I'm after all human and since I found that this is clouding my judgement. I appealed to you; the community's help
I guess you have to make a little poll and see the results!
Don't let any one decide on behalf of u .
i read what u write
and i think he doesnt deserve that ... he is free to put anything in his blog ... and that dont give u the right to delete it

The most optimistic of ALL (and quite disputed statistic) said the number is still less than 10%. I explained earlier why 10% is a magical number
and all have the right to speach
