POLL TO REMOVE OR KEEP PHARM TEG's SIGNATURE

[Bajjani]

Here is what I see:

People complain about the signature (I don't like it but I woulda just said dude your signature officially makes you a fuckin douche)

People complain about those complaining

Not ONE SINGLE PERSON said, just be fuckin courtesy and remove it if it bothers someone so severely..sure freedom of speech but have some fuckin respect for others

actually i would get offended about anything that had to with jesus because he is a religious figure that i believe was a messenger of GOD which is taught in the koran too . Like I said. You dont know me so you cant tell me what will or wont offend me. ANYthing that is discriminatory about any religion or religious figure offends me and I wouldn't wanna see tasteless jokes about jesus either.
not mad at you... and not making it personal. Just clearing things up.

[RandomGuy]

LOL JUST KIDDING... its all good bwahahhaha

Wrong, Jesus is part of a religon that believes in him and is even quoted in the Bible making his spoken word part of the Bible, Therefore if you make fun of him then you are making fun of that religon. IT IS THE SAME THING. Do I think the picture is funny? NO. Do I think it crosses the line? No more than the Jesus pic. Now you know me and know I posted a lot of stuff in the past but I only complained once and was promptly told it is the internet, if you don't like it close the thread or hit your back button. I have lived by that since and I have been on this site since 02. So why is it that this pic suddenly offends certain people and it needs to be removed but the Jesus pic is ok when it offends just as many. I say if you delete it then you need to delete all of the religon pics period.

Teg, the deal is this. Muslims take there religion a lot more serious than all other religions(as you can see in the world). I never post a jesus pic doing anything, and I usually, or as far as I remember, I dont think I have seen a jesus pic in a signature doing something, or I would have been offended by that also. Im not a religious freek or anything like that, but there are lines, and I think this crosses the line. The reason for that is that Muslims HIGHLY RESPECT THERE QURAN. And thats just straight up bashing it. I've been on IA just as long as you have, and I have never ever debated something like this or seen something like this. I also remember when you did have that issue about people getting on you for something you posted. But I feel it should be removed.
I can understand if Pharm posted this up one time, and that was it, I know he would have meant it as a joke, and I would be offended, but that thread was eventually scroll into history, and I would have to move on with me life, but he posts often and I really dont want to see that pic everytime I'm reading a thread. you feel me?

[AtifSajid]

you muslims sure do post late.....

No we dont..

[The Yousef]

I understand where you are coming from Atif, I really do. At the same time the Jesus pic gets posted up more than once. I find it offensive and do not care for it, but that does not stop them from posting it. I believe that certain pics should not be posted on the site and the two main ones being the Jesus pic and the one in Pharm Tegs sig, but once that pic is gone the Jesus pic will continue to show up. Now how is that fair.

And Sara, I can respect that fact that you see discrimination through your eyes and think that right now the arab/muslims are catching the blunt of it. I will agree that in airports it is probably worse since that is the means America was attacked through in the first place. But, discrimination is alive in all aspects of the world. Everyday someone is getting hasseled or wrongfully accused because of their skin color, sex, or age. So what you see through your eyes might be different than what a black person sees or an asian person sees through their eyes. Just think about that a little also. And remember Peral Harbor? Think about what the asian people living in America went through at that time.

i find this topic funny, b/c i see the sig as humor much like if i saw a pic of Mr. Taliban in the same situation w/ a bible. i hightly doubt his motives were political based so it shouldn't be taken that way. what ever happened to freedom of speech??? its amazing some of the people who disagree w/ it are some of the people who run their mouths the most on here

side note: i post these pics every chance i get b/c i think its hilarious, there is no political agenda behind it; i just find it funny. both pix are very targeted to religion/gender, so what next i can't post anything w/ religion, politics, the war, race, gender, etc...???

[LOLA]

SIG NEEDS TO GO!!!!

See I find that pic very offensive Paul but if I say anything your typical response is "It is the internet, get over it" which is fine. Pharm Teg's sig is offensive to people and now it gets a poll to have it removed. What I am saying is why is one fair and the other not.

[drupason]

^exactly

[4dmin]

What I am saying is why is one fair and the other not.

personally i'm saying i think people should be able to say what they want, especially on IA this is one of the places you can post whatever and in normal circumstances get away w/ it as long as it doesn't legally pose a problem. SOME PEOPLE NEED TO REMEMBER WHY WE ARE HERE IN THIS COUNTRY. WE DIDN'T COME HERE JUST TO SLAUGHTER INDIANS & TAKE THEIR LANDS, WE CAME HERE FOR FREEDOM. thats what this country is built upon. i may not like post about BUSH but hey you have your right to freedom of speech just as i. i personally think if we take that sig away we will then have to stop the jesus pix, then the gender based pics, then talks about politics, then no NWS forum, then etc, etc, etc,.... WHEN WILL IT STOP??? there will always be something you don't like, so i say everyone quit their bitching

^ I agree, so lets lock this and move on

[AtifSajid]

WOW..thats the first time I'm seeing that Jesus pic..THAT REALLY FUCKED UP ALSO. I am offended by that picture also.

Like the same shit..there's a line. And those 2 pics go past that line and get personal.

Thats all Paulie.

No do you see where I was coming from about that pic Atif?

[AtifSajid]

I do man...but thats the same boat we are talking about. I usually let A LOT of stuff go, it doesnt bother me, mostly because they are pics and the thread will eventually die, but my whole point it being a sig.

[s four t5]

No we dont..

i was joking...sheesh....

[Importdreamer56]

I laughed when I first saw the picture and then I thought that is really wrong, but then I laughed some more. I'm christian...i think i will get over the picture, don't let it ruin your day. You could always ask hey pharm teg could you please remove SIGNATURE.

[Cliff]

they have asked and he said no and that if anyone removed it he would put it back up

I Never said Muslims are the only groups discriminated on! Can u read??????? Get over it. I said NOW. PEARL HARBOR IS NOT NOW. I said now. not ever you idiot. Dont act like you're teaching me shit because I'll tell you now.... I CAN GO ON FOREVER. I know more about discrimination and I am more educated about cultures, race & ethnicity, and religion than you can imagine so dont even sit there thinking that you know more than me or for that matter CHANGE WHAT I WROTE. read shit before you make it an issue.

[s four t5]

CHILL THE FUCK OUT. I was just stating the way your post came across and was stating how the asains went through the same thing at that time and it is the same thing muslims/arabs are going through NOW.

[00CIVICSI]

none of the jesus stuff get's deleted so why should this? Should just delete ever thread/pic that get posted about something religious and end all the trouble.

[Brett]

I think we have slid this thread as far down as it can go.
