Possibly I over reacted about the video but I was the only one who seemed to think that it was in poor taste, and did not hear the apology from Dean.
I some times am critical of FIRST but only because I want it to even better than it is.
As an adult with two children I do the best I can to protect them from distasteful and provocative images and was stuned at the video images shown on stage.
I have been accused of being an old fashioned 20th century fosile but I believe that youngsters today practice what they vision and with all the filth and violence that bombards the young minds of today its evident that some are practicing what the see. The rise in " School shootings " for one.
If there is one thing I have learnt from FIRST is that Honesty and truth is paramount for the success of FIRST
and we are all expected to live by the honor code. Part of the code is being honest in all aspects.
At least I speak my mind, even if its not to everyones likes. I tell it as I see it and I always sign my TRUE NAME.
One thing I have never been accused of is being a spineless, gutless whimp that hides behind a fictitious
team Name and #.
As far as me missusing this forum, I think this forum is exactly what it is, a place to express ones opinions, thoughts and views but if we all agreed with each other then we would be nothing but sheep. I defend and respect your opinions of my post however the need for "expressive" language is not neccesary, possibly you picked it up while viewing one of those video's that your defending as being "not offensive".

: Okay, now I think I've been a rather nice guy since I've joined this magnificent forum, but quite frankly I'm getting tired of your inane chatter, Nick. You remind me of the boil on St. Nicks back making him drop the kids from his lap instead of placing them down gently and promising gifts. Or how about the stye in the Easter Bunnie's eye provoking him to paint skulls and scenes of death on kid's easter eggs.

: Quite frankly if you're really sick of FIRST, get the frig out. We dont need people with negative attitudes here, although I hate to tell anyone to leave FIRST 'cause it's pretty tough to get them in here in the first place. Quit your attempts at bringing the rest of us down.

: Yknow, In the gaming world we have a name for people who just go to the game forums and badmouth the game that forum was made for: Lamer. You wanna be the first FIRST lamer or do you wanna talk about how things can be improved?
