Is anyone else getting really sick of the teachers unions radio ad -THREAD?

[MikePal]

I distinctly remember most of the comments were 'generalizations' and the majority poked disdain at a group (Unions/Teachers) not directed at an individual. A few people with hurts feeling because they happen to be a member or part of the groups being criticized and took offense is NOT grounds to close and remove a thread.

Good men have died on a battlefield so we have the freedom to speak and express our opinions...just because some people took offense what was being said, doesn't
mean rules were broken.

It was very clear that people are fed up/sick with the teachers union ads, which was the op question/thread!

Why the FK would we talk about something else in the "Federal and Provincial Politics" page........hello - are you serious!!?? This falls smack dab in the middle of that subject. I assume your requests to shut this thread down were from red conservatives that could not let a sleeping dog lay but had to come back again and again and voice their opinion and prove that they are morally superior?

Wait a second.........that sounds to me like a left leaning Liberal!!? So you are telling me you shut down a political thread because someone's feelings were hurt?

Stifling of free speech is everywhere I guess, including here.

Geez 410 you gotta get with it man, adopt the left agenda, smoke a joint and mellow out, don’t worry about the state of the country or your kids future, the budget will balance itself....

......or we can cancel our OOD subscription due to Liberal censorship and the fact that there are some snowflakes on here that just cannot handle not getting their way - probably the game guy with a pile of 'participation' trophies in his basement - LOL.

I bet you will not find this crap here - http://www.albertaoutdoorsmen.ca/

Red Conservatives? Not a chance. Your last paragraph nailed it. Nice recovery,LOL. I'm kind of disappointed the thread was closed. This is just an observation,but,wouldn't it have made more sense to sanction the trolls instead of penalizing everyone?

Edit: afterthought. Isn't closing threads because of the actions of a distinct minority the exact same thing we're fighting against with gun control blaming the many for the actions of the few instead of dealing justly with the few?

So rather than centering out the violators and setting an example for everyone to see, we're continuing on banning the threads? The same individuals just move onto another thread.
No offence to the moderators, but this approach is exactly what we're seeing all over and around our communities. I can't tell how many fishing spots I've seen lost in the last several years because of laziness or simple incompetence. The inability to center out the individuals because of fear of backlash or cant get enough resources to deal with the issue is a joke and a slap in the face. They put in resources to carry out the ban after neglecting to put in the resources to address the initial issue.
Sorry if that come across as offensive, but to read the trolls crap here on a regular basis is maddening and in all likelihood its them that do most of the complaining.

To many people who think everyone has to be political correct. Heck no what would the world be like if we were all the same [emoji28]. Pretty boring I would think

We need the different mind sets to make the world great . It wouldn't work if we all thought the same and had to be perfect. Nope just wouldn't work.

No need to be mad because some just do what they want to do ,say what they want to say. We each live our own lives and do what we want nobody can change this ,it's just way of life .

If there was no crime there would be no cops and so on . If we all thought the same many inventions would never have been created . We can't all be political correct I for one am most definitely not yet I was still called a gentleman the other day.

I think respect goes further than being correct.

Liberal censorship? How about following the rules set out by the forum administrators, that you agreed to when you registered to become a member . If you can't, or won't follow the rules, then you do not get to participate. Simple really.

There, I fixed that for you.

[fishermccann]

In this threads case, absolutely true. Some spoiled it for all, because they refused to follow the rules.
