Thanks, GOP_Lady........critiquing fashion non-sense is very different than racial slurs. It is sad that those comments were up for even a few minutes, I am ashamed that they were posted by any FReeper.
As for the so called “peace” symbol, it is innocent enough here in the states, but on the president’s daughter at a G8 summit in a foreign country? Good grief, the Obama’s have NO sense of propriety whatsoever.
And that pic of MO with her daughter and the monkey sounds......gees. I saw that and turned off the computer without hitting the abuse button. I clearly should have hit abuse when I saw it as even I was offended by that. Next time I will hit abuse in a nonosecond.
I enjoy the fashion threads, but not that day at all. I was shocked.
Free speech does not mean posting things that are way out of line or untruthful.
Words have meaning.
One has to be responsible for what they post on the internet.
This seems to be the lesson all us FReepers need to learn from this... episode.
In addition to the children, here’s a thread for which there was no real reason for posting, and I stated so on that thread:
