    As long as you express it in a mature and responsible manner, go right ahead. It's when people do it to be rude and everything that we have a problem.

    Even if you do express it in a mature manner, only the mature people respect that. All the immature people will flame and curse at you. =/

    Flaming would be absolutely impossible to stop. I think almost EVERYONE has flamed at one point or another. Some people take things differently. For example If you were making a topic about the white and black of an oreo cookie, it could somehow be interpretted as racism, and then the flaming starts. I'm not saying that would ever happen, its just an example. Some people have not yet developed the maturity sense, they should not be punished for it. But they should learn to develop it. They will think what they are typing is funny and others will not think so much. You must realize that the average person on GR is 12-18. You also must factor in the anger portion, I have a terrible rage and it is VERY difficult to control sometimes. There is many things factored into flaming, and you couldn't filter it all without suspending or banning everyone. And then who would be here, a few nice mature people. You need some immaturity once in a while. Those are my thoughts. It would be nice if it was lessened a bit though. I just avoid posting in those kind of topics if I can help it.

    Edit: Awww axiom you beat me!!!! And I typed a whole big thing..... FREAK! ya thats right. lol

    Onces again true, and yea if you think about it, everyone has flamed someone else, i know i did when i got really mad at them for being such newbs.


    btw

    A recent study shows that 92% of all teenagers have moved on to rap music. Put this in your profile if you are one of the 8% who stayed with the real music

    thats on your sig... theres nothing wrong with rap music in my opinion

    I don't hate rap music. Some rap artists are really talented. I just prefer other music.
