scuro2 Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 (edited) The Harris-Decima survey conducted for The Canadian Press says that both before and after the release of the report, about 52 per cent of respondents said the registry does some good and should be kept. Facts seemed to be bugging some people. Edited September 25, 2010 by scuro2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sinker Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 There was a lot of good info in that thread. A lot of people could have learned from it. There was a lot of solid facts in between the Bull. I think it should have stayed, but been locked. To just delete it is a waste. Why bother wasting my time adding facts to a thread like that, when it just gets deleted? S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jediangler Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 Even the poll about the registry was locked up almost immediately after it was started. Apparently someone wanted to keep the results of the poll in the dark so they can assert the belief that their opinion is the only opinion.

But i beleve like you, that it should have been locked, or had the attacks edited out and the facts that you and alot of educated people posted, left in and then locked. Such is life, wait a few days and start another Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish_fishburn Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 That was a great thread, one of the better ones on here in the last while. I was following it closely and enjoyed the different views from all the posts. Then someone is called an idiot and poof gone. Darn liberals. Just my 2 cents.

sauce Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 Personal attack? Wow, I really should have read that thread. There must have been some good insults thrown around. Just remember people... everyone is entitled to their own opinion. And its rare for everyone to agree. No matter how right you think you are, someone will disagree. But in the end, it doesn't matter what other people think of your opinion. Imagine how boring life would be if we all got along and there was no such thing as opinions? I'm sure glad I don't have any guns to register. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aplumma Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 Actually it had turned into a rip fest far far away from the original posters question. Just like a train wreck you should look away but you don't want to miss the carnage.The other point is if you really want to know the answer to a question about a thread being pulled in the rules #4 it states you should P.M. a mod not start another thread. If you really want to continue it then P.M. the interested parties and go to the chat function. Art Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ThisPlaceSucks Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 by then end it was just 2 or 3 people tossing insults back and forth... lots of people have different opinions, but there's no need to disrespect our fellow OFC'ers...

Guest Johnny Bass Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 (edited) DANG! I hate missing out on stuff! It was a pretty good discussion with alot of valid points on both sides. I agree. It should have been locked and the attacks editted. Very useful information. Edited September 25, 2010 by Johnny Bass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahumba Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 Gun Registry? What the heck is that? You mean I have to register my rifles? When did this come into effect? Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scuro2 Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 (edited) The thread took the direction of all the threads on issues like guns or climate change. Initially a few good posts are made but as soon as anyone can make the opposing argument the majority of Cons throw civility out the window. Soon the reasonable people leave the thread and you end up having numerous cons making personal attacks on one or two people. That is because too many cons are certain that they know the issues but all too often they may have little more then a basic understanding of the topic and even that understanding can be faulty. Rather then educating themselves through civil discussion they attempt to "win" the argument the only way they know how. It's really pathetic that they can't use their minds to persuade people and even more pathetic that not one reasonable conservative pleaded for civility.

Mahumba Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 It's ok to disagree. Nothing wrong with that. Just because you disagree with what I say doesn't mean I'm gonna call you a name. If I were like that I wouldn't have been with the same woman for over twenty years...... But my word is law at home.

Scuro, I hope I'm not one of the "cons" you speak of that threw "civility out the window" during our discussion of the issue at hand. That certainly wasn't my intent and I honesty believe that I only argued the points as they were presented with no personal atacks involved. I really wish I could reread te thread to see if my argument didn't come across as intended. I'm sure if we could all look back, there was certainly more than one "reasonable conservative" that offered a valid point or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigfish1965 Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 Guys and gals...none of us have the time to clean up threads that go awry. The issue at hand is neither new or about to be fixed by anyone too soon. Both sides have merit, however we still cannot allow those threads to go on the way they do. Remember you agreed to all the rules when you signed up here. It isn't perfect, but it is the best we have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
