Pics For Sharing & Debating

Okay folks. A simple suggestion, for those who wish to post pictures, memes, etc. that have, at their core, a religious, political or other "opinionated" position, how about we post them here and keep the "pics for sharing" thread along the lines of light humor and interesting pictures, the thing I for which I think it was originally intended.

You want to express an opinion through picture/meme/graph etc. fine. Do it here. Does this require discretion, reasonableness and some self-restraint? Yup. So this doesnt' get lost in the wash of this forum, perhaps it could be stickied.

Just a thought and attempt to let people voice their opinions and take argumentative positions w/out and have them discussed without imposing them on folks who really just aren't interested.

It clearly states 'Pic for Sharing' not 'Pics that are devoid of contention'. http://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=examples+of+nanny+state&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&docid=1RfUeORBDv_q0M&tbnid=jkqbt_JKiKVuEM:&ved=0CAUQjRw&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.activistpost.com%2F2012%2F05% 2F18-examples-of-nanny-state-gone-wild.html&ei=EguRUYKOMIi29gTb6IGoDQ&bvm=bv.46340616,d.dmQ&psig=AFQjCNHyoj_GiEItO4dyLY5TtQUj5BRHIA&ust=1368546437389050

The best way to crush an argument is to use indisputable evidence.

Atheists don't preach, sweetie, we just correct childish misconceptions.

Thanks for playing though.....

Yup. You have accurately stated the other thread's title. However, at the same time, there is an entire forum set aside for non-football related "contention" that is separate and hidden from the general forum so that those who do not wish to "crush" arguments, enter into arguments or even read about arguments can ignore them in their entirety. In that the "Pics for Sharing" thread is in the general "contention free zone" rather than the "contention zone", I would suggest that it is implied that the "Pics for Sharing" thread should be non-contentious.

You want to spout opinions through humorous one-liners fine. Just do it in the appropriate forum.

What are you afraid of? No one will stop you from spouting whatever kind of policitical or anti-religious hate/mockery/humor you want. It will just be in a place where it can be publicly debated w/out disrupting a thread never meant for debate/discussion.

Still waiting for the science on how you prove and fully explain the existence of beauty in any painting to a person lacking sight.

Hit up Google, you'll find your answer.

As some IT person implied in the other thread, I suck at google.

What am I searching for? I am asking you to articulate your position rather than have me guess at it.
