I understand what your getting at, and it isn't a bad point. But the purpose of a sight like this is to take the average opinion of everybody, and judge if its normal or not.
If you just take the opinions of the people who are perceived to be "normal" then the image of "normal" that society perceives will never change. For example, things like gay marriage, body modification, and many other hot button topics would never come to be accepted.
If only the "normal" people were left to set the norms of society, women still wouldn't vote, blacks would still have no rights, and democracy wouldn't exist. Is that the kind of world you would want to live in?
I would never screw a dog either, that's some sick shit.
The comment I was making, is that if every body's opinion isn't heard, we can't possible grow and change as a culture. Even the extremist opinions have the right to be heard, and we can collectively judge if they have any merit.
There was a point in time when "blacks having rights" was considered as extreme as "dog humping" but now a black man is running the United States.
In short, every body's opinion should be heard, not every body's attention should be listened to.
There are not supposed to be young impressionable minds on here. That is part of the reason for the 18+ rule. Any society that tries to "suppress" the opinions of the people that they don't agree with seems a lot like communism to me.
I'm just saying, without new and "radical" ideas being brought up, the world would never change.
If people wouldn't have spoken out and gone against the grain would blacks still be slaves? Would women be allowed to vote?
I do see your point, and agree to it as far as rapists and murders, pedos and the like. But just cause someone is a wierdo doesn't discount them from having an opinion. but somehow a middle ground should be established me thinks.
Are you normal enough to post on IIN?

I'm a little confused by your Comment, Captain_Kegstand.
Are you trying to say that the dog humpers of IIN are the icons of normalcy?
I know you'd like for me to believe that screwing a dog is normal but last time I checked, I was allowed to think for my self.

So let's say a class is being held on CPR and other life saving skills.
Are you trying to say that you'd let a Naive Hobbyist speak their uneducated opinion to impressionable minds?
