Title: Whats going on?
coolman - July 2, 2006 12:34 AM (GMT)
First the skin and banner changed and now there is a forum about race and stereotype I mean, as a black person myself, I say it kinda offensive I mean I been through it all my life, I go on forums to get away from all dat

actually its because Hellblaze Headquarters and The Chill Out Zone have merged, so now this forum is the result of the combination. it shares the more mature aspects of the chill out zone while still maintaining the material for those who do not want to deal with the mature stuff.

How is a topic about stereotypes and racism offensive? if you actually read and understood them then you would know that those who have posted in those topics agree that they are offensive, and were merely posting their thoughts about the people who do so.. the only way you could find it offensive is if you were either racist, or stereotypical.. :ermm:
oh and one more thing, you are not the only person one this forum who is black.. :whistle:

What about should marijuana be legalized, have any of u payed attention to dat one episode off of family guy?
Black Angel - July 2, 2006 01:39 AM (GMT)
family guy is a cartoon.. the discussions in that forum are serious.. if you read and paid attention to the posts in that forum, you will see the people in favor of its' legalization are stating for those who benefit from it.. i.e. glaucoma patients, and those whom are suffering from cancer treatments.. did you actually read the posts? or did you just look at the title and form an opinion? :ermm:
coolman - July 2, 2006 01:42 AM (GMT)
chris was dead-serious when he said dat plus why u make polls instead of just a topic discussion
Black Angel - July 2, 2006 01:44 AM (GMT)
what? i am not making polls, these are discussions..
BlackDevilX - July 2, 2006 01:51 AM (GMT)
First off, yea your not the only black person on the forum, it happens to be that black people run this site, sooo that card dont work, SECOND, you go on forums ot get away from racism? Hat eto tell ya this, because of the iterenet and th efact well nebver meat, YOUR MORE LIKELY TO GET RACISM, so that point was completly null, THIRD off they are DISCUSSION! There i sa poll becasue we want you to VOTE on what you feel, then discuss why you feel that way. ya know if you dont want to look at it i could always bump you down to the immature class and you can just view my part of the forum, but other than that there no reason for you to be uncomfortable

I know, dr. tails is black
BlackDevilX - July 2, 2006 02:09 AM (GMT)
I know hes black to. like it or not, from what i see, this forums consist of multiple races

actually BDX and BA are both African-American, and i'd imagine there are plenty more African-American members here as well.
and just so you know cartoons aren't everything, family guy is a parody and a satire cartoon, it makes fun of everything, so don't expect to get any reliable information from it.
BlackDevilX - July 2, 2006 02:20 AM (GMT)
exactly. Also the skin and banner changes from time to time, we changed the banners now and then
thefishofdoom - July 2, 2006 02:20 AM (GMT)

Well thats something?
Plus, it was the moral of the cartoon is what was important

there is so many things wrong with that sentence i don't know if i'll bother with venturing it..
VirusZero - July 2, 2006 03:08 AM (GMT)
i guess someone has to tell you.
not everything has a moral or morals, look at alot of criminals, aside from the "i steal to feed my family" stereotype most hardened criminals have no morals and no issues with what they do or have done. look at companies like the ad companies specifically, these greedy bastards work so hard to make you see their product/ad that they go to the measure to infect our computer with spyware and adware just so you will be forced to see them.
and also not everything has a deeper meaning sometimes what you see IS what you get, nothing more enothing less. sure family guy has it's moments where you may not understant unless you know something else but that isn't a deeper meaning, family guy is meant to entertain you with parodies of things and satire ( ie insults to things or witty remarks about things, mainly family guy will stick to insulting things. )
and also cartoons and tv isn't the be all end all best source of knowledge or the authority of things, sure it can help but for all the falsities you find on the internet, it is still way more beneficial.

Haven't you ever heard the saying never believe what you hear and only half of what you read? Technically Family Guy doesn't even have morals. Unless you decide to look at it from a point of view which would make the show unfunny or something along those lines. O.k. this saying probably doesn't apply to everything...
Dictator - July 2, 2006 02:30 PM (GMT)
Well, I remember when Lowis and Peter get high in order to preform an act in a talent show Chris gives a moral at the end... Other then that, Family Guy is just a cartoon not to be taken serious. It's like if Jerry off the subway comercial said go and jump off a bridge, i hope you wouldn't think he's serious.

Good point....But I think that was one out of all the episodes they did....
coolman - July 2, 2006 10:46 PM (GMT)
BlackDevilX - July 3, 2006 02:15 AM (GMT)
Uhh, no i dont think so, if link has something to say let him say it.
Link - July 3, 2006 04:29 AM (GMT)
Thanks, but I'm done. The only point is, if you don't feel like talking on those boards then it's best if you just ignore them and find something else to post at.

You could switch your web browser. I use Firefox and it works just fine.
