surely you can say it in a nice way.
Thats the thing being who we really are is a good thing.

The truth is not always nice, and sometimes there is no "nice" way to tell it.

Being respectful to the rules of this forum is a good thing too.

Truth is no defense. If a mod thinks your post is offensive or blasphemous, the mod will take action. So, you have to ask yourself: What is more important, telling the truth or sanctions by a mod?

Most of what I would like to say is, as the others have pointed out, against the forum rules.

But without pointing any fingers or naming any names, I can get this off my chest: If you haven't mastered the basic grammar structures and spelling of your native English tongue and your info bar says you're over 25, I think you're an absolute moron and I pity your children.

Exceptions made for those for whom English is a second language, of course, and everyone has a typo now and then, but in a country with free mandatory public schooling there is really no excuse for writing like an imbecile.


See, by necessity the things we are holding back are not nice things and there's really no nice way to say them. If they were nice things to say or could be said nicely, we wouldn't be holding them back.

No, some statements are prohibited by the rules, because of their content and not because of the attitude.
Thats the thing being who we really are is a good thing.
I think I am who I really am. That´s tautological.

Being respectful to the rules of this forum is a good thing too.
That means that certain thoughts are not allowed to be communicated.

Ok we are all human, some of us hold back and dont say things for whatever reason. Don't bottle it up any longer. Let out whatever is bugging you!

Say it how it is!

Please keep your answers within forum rules.



Therein lies the problem. When the rules are discerned by others it is determined what can or can not be said by someone else that construes those rules to their own interpretation. Therefore you can not say what you like here because as soon as you step on someones toes, even if you did not violate the rules, they construe that you did and turn you in and viola, you have violated the rules with out violating the rules.

Conclusion: Best to keep some things to yourself.

I thought the OP was about face-to-face discourse with other people. I'm guilty of not always saying what I think in meetings and in conversation. It's no crime to be assertive, and honesty is usually the best policy, but you have to pick your battles. Sometimes it's better to avoid conflict, and kept your mouth shut. The trick is knowing when.

That's the thing freedom of speech is governed by the authority of the law system you live in. As we are all guests at the forum we have to go along with it I suppose.

I'm sick and tired of buying bags of chips that have mostly air in them!
The puffed up bag helps to insure that some of the chips get to you as chips and not salty powder. The chips, after all, are sold by weight.

How do you know what they are doing now? Have you been peeking in windows again?
Well, they aren't fighting for their right for marriage, despite how many admit to performing sodomy with their wives and husbands.
Don't need to peek in windows, many of them are honest enough to admit what they do in the bedroom.
You know, the same sex acts that homosexual males and females perform ;)
