Sorry but i just gotta say this

---

the thing is, it's not the motives behind the thread that offend, its the existance of the thread itself

I dont think that has anything to do with the orgiinal thread, atleast not how I percieved it..blind is a disability, but a mild one, same as being deaf. Now Im not saying its easy to overcome, just that it doesnt have the same effects as say being willchair bound, or mentally retarded, or paralyzed.I dated a blind girl, if she wasnt such a twat I may of stayed with her. It had very little effect on my life, movies were out for dates, I couldnt get her into climbing, but aside from that it wasnt life altering to be with her. I think what CBW was asking, was if you can overcome the major obsticles like knowing that your into the outdoors and haveing to push your date through the paved paths in a wheelchair, no more backpacking, no more treks deep into the woods. OR maybe jsut the effect of having to have tha chair with you all the time, in stores, in the house, retrofitting the house to have ramps and lifts for the stairs, wider doorways, wider paths between couches. Knowing that youll always be taking care of them. I think ti dealt more on physical limitations and how it affected sex.It may not have been a feel good thread, but it was honest.That atleast is how I see it, seeking opinions, not shitting on someone because they have a disability or one kind or another.

I honestly do not believe that CBW was trying to offend anyone. But I think the problem people are having with that thread and the other thread (something about what turns you off), is that it benefits no one and possibly tears peoples self esteem down. This site is supposed to help people. I understand the whole "I can post whatever I want" bit, but as someone had said before, there are other sites on the internet for that kind of thing.

mep!6 of one, half a dozen of the other.

exactly, i mean, for my part, I'm not offended by what anyone said in the thread, infact it seemed to be quite plesant, but the fact that a thread liek that was made, by a moderator no less, thats what offends me

Get over it. I'm so sick of people crying about the types of threads being made. This is afraid to ask. People should be able to come here and ask anything they want without having the politically-correct police telling them they are offended. If you don't like it, DON'T READ IT! As a moderator AND as a member, I have the right to ask any question that is on my mind. Now, I'm locking this thread because this issue has been beaten to death and I feel that everyone has said what they've had to say about what members should be able to post.

Let me just add this statement from this website It is not the intent of AfraidToAsk.com to discourage Users from taking controversial positions or expressing vigorously what may be unpopular views in AfraidToAsk.com, nonetheless, AfraidToAsk.com reserves the right to take such action as it deems appropriate in cases where AfraidToAsk.com is used to disseminate statements which are deeply and widely offensive and/or harmful. Now... statements which are deeply and widely offensive and/or harmful is a matter of opinion. It is my opinion that the threads in question were not intentionally meant to be an attack or harmful, rather a hard look at real life possibilites.

Thanks, sdp.

i don;t see any thing wrong with her question. personally it was a nice feeling to know if i had been in a crash and lost my ability to walk that i could possibly still be loved.as for the other two threads.. i never read them they didn;t have no intrist to me. i was acually courios to the answers of her thread. Why? one of these crazyness crap athat floats around in my head is love. who really does ( i don;t think i am..but there is a way to find out) as pete knows i have tryed to slice my face up..and something else that i am not going to say. tho my face wouldn't stop me from fucking a girl (or would it? wut girls wants to fuck a monsterface. ONE that really cares about u that's who!) the other would. If shannon stayed with me after i do this then she infact really does love me BUT if she leaves me cuz i can't plesure her or look good ..then she is using me.

Quote:i thought everyone was equal hey? im a little disappointed to read that post knowing that the person who made it is so offended over posts that involve race, but yet makes a thread about whether or not someone could lower their standards enough to date someone with a disability I don't think it's at the same extent but I understand how you feel. one of the reasons why I stopped coming on this site other than to annoy Kris and Leah with my random posts. (they know they love me) because they're like my big sisters. but usually it's something to ignore just bypass it instead of making too much out of it. Idk I'm just rambling lol

thank you much hunn! nice to know you understand what im talking about here

Oi! I think you mean what we're talkign about here.
