IF THIS IS A CAR SITE, THERE IS NO NEED FOR TNA, BECAUSE I CAN SEE TNA ELSEWHERE. I COME HERE FOR CAR RELATED STUFF. THAT SAID... IF THE TNA CAN GET A NUMBER OF PEOPLE HERE IN TROUBLE AT WORK, WHY HAVE IT HERE? WHAT PURPOSE DOES IT SERVE?
Ok ya caught me, I come here for the tiny babe avatars

I like completely naked women, but I don?t post it here. Who cares what you like and don?t like, this is a car site, why not keep it car related?
Because some people like them and its called FREEDOM of expression, obviously not a concept taught where you went to school and one that I believe is the corner stone of our society

until someone has a reasonable answer for the question in bold, don?t bother hitting "quote" or "reply" at the bottom of this post and type some stupid garbage like "i like boobies, dont surf the internet at work" get the f*ck out of here with that sh*t.
Here is one for ya STFU

I am not interested in getting into a legal debate or discussion of social sciences and how it relates to limitations on freedom of expression, as it is all subjective and best saved for rational a person capable of providing an answer other then "STFU".

Thanks for your time

Are you serious Craig?!?!! This is exactly your cup of tea, a first amendment discussion?!?! You are perfect for this, man, you really need to go to law school. I personally truly believe in freedom of expression (especially when there is an option to turn off avatars and sigs as many have pointed out), do I think they're always appropriate? No, but if others choose to use them that is their choice. Same as TV and Radio, neither the gov't or anyone else should tell us what is right. That is why we have channels - don't like what you're seeing? CHANGE IT!! Afraid your children will see it? How about watching TV with them and actually paying attention to them?

I know... you should see all the windows i had up. the 1st amendment, case citations pertaining to sexual harassment suits, sociology essays. then i realized it is 11 am and I have to go to the gym, go to the DMV, go sign up for college wash my car, and that is pretty much my day.

If the person i quoted took time to form a relevant argument, I would have put the extra effort in... but "STFU" didnt merit me taking an hour out of my busy day to research and write up some giant essay post like i have before. although it is encouraging to hear you and sdg1871 to tell me i need to go to law school

I agree, no response to an "STFU" is best, but it is kind of fun sometimes to show those that need to go there that an intelligent and valid argument can be a much better tool for getting your point across.

I am always encouraging to those that want to better them selves (read the quote in my sig - Teddy Roosevelt said it all man).

Under the freedom of expression theme, I once got pulled over for my music being too loud and the cop asked me "What makes you think you can go around disturbing the peace?"
I showed him my Bronze Star, 4 Airmen's Medals of Valor, and the scars and he let me off. I have fought and bled for the right to express myself, and I refuse to relinquish ANY of the rights I defended.

I have read the TR quote in your sig before. That is some way to get out of a ticket brother! i just have an OIF campaign license plate on my car. i am guessing you were a PJ.

one of my warrior school instructor was an ex PJ

Yeah, I was a PJ (E5- SSGT) - 21st STS - Hurlburt, didn't go to party with OIF, I went to Somalia, and Iraq (before it was fun, back when it was us and that's it). The best thing about being a PJ is the response you get from Marines - They like to say "We're the first in!!" - Um, not since Grenada buddy, if US aircraft overhead there're PJ's somewhere down below
