Our very own P&R off topic thread (merged)

I don't know, VJ has shown me segments of the population and people that I would never care to know. Convicted pedophiles trying to sponsor their "former" prostitute girlfriends and prove they won't harm anyone; people who use VJ as their personal issue soapbox, posting propaganda from extremist websites and villainizing anyone who doesn't agree with being too stupid to see this skewed version of events as the "truth"; spammers who like to play non-game "games" and post numbers over and over; women who are former abuse victims who get into new abusive relationships with scammers, and all you can do is watch the trainwreck unfold and endanger lives, powerless to help someone from ruining their life; Men who look for a "species" of woman and who are so broken that they must insult all other women as being a bad "species." I mean, the sexism and racism that goes on on this site is astounding.

I don't know if rules can keep up with ugly behavior, and I don't know a solution for it. I'm not sure what I think of that. Sometimes I think the only solution is to live and let live, and people will show themselves eventually, but it's really hard sometimes.

So you got your answer, Evylin. Spamming is tolerated, allowed, and recommended. It's actually not spamming if you could keep up with the speed of the root vegetable.

Questioning it is what's not allowed, I've learned

This site, and the Internet in general, has been eye opening in so many ways.

If it weren't for the Internet I might have never known a thing about trigger locks or orfi marriages or bukkakke or tampo.

I only know about two of those things, and I learned about orfi marriages from an article about prostitution in the middle east in one of the print magazines I read (Harper's or something). Tampo I learned from here. Yep.

You're saying that you don't know a little bit of the personal lives of your neighbors and co-workers? The types of people you find on VJ could be anywhere near you.

My neighbors aren't anything like most of the people I interact with on VJ.

That's the worst part. They closed the thread without addressing even just a few of your valid questions.

My neighbors are hardcore Republicans who had keep their homemade nativity scene on their lawn until May, and had at least six Romney signs up there until a little while ago.

Unfortunately I interact with people like that on VJ all the time...
