We have had the name NEXUS since June 02!!!
- Thread starter We had Nexus first
- Start date
We removed it cos the average age of a paintballer in our biggest market is 12-16 years old, and I didn't feel comfortable with promoting drugs to this age group.Originally posted by Philip

But yeah, why should they have removed it from sale, theres worse ones around than that, and thats for other sports, music ect.
Truth be known, the rest of the team had no problem with it, so now you know who to blame.
I gotta respect the fact that you stepped up, and take responsibility for it.
I understand your motives, but I just don't see it's such a big deal. Like I said, I think kiss my balls is more offensive (not that that one offended me in anyway).

Probably a good call, R. That target market isn't well known for it's ability to make subtle distinctions or perceive irony or satire. Odds are it would have been almost universally misunderstood--at least by that impressionable age group.Originally posted by rancid

I must also, having now read most of this thread, revisit a couple of recent bits that were bandied about--
The Duffinator vs. Robbo--wherein the Duffinator is in a very dicey position. BL says I don't like Eskimos, Duffinator replies I don't like you 'cos you said you don't like Eskimos. Where's the difference? Is is OK to hate if you're being specific about it? Or have a good reason? And does either opinion really matter as long as neither one is acted on in a criminal or anti-social way?
Also, are we really talking hate here or simply a matter of predisposition? If I say I hate Twinkies what does it matter to anyone as long as I don't go out and start trashing Twinkie displays at the supermarket?
The object of the PC crowd isn't to make the world a nice shiny place, it's to silence everybody who has a view or opinion they don't approve of and starting down that road is a very slippery slope.

Btw, over here the bastions of PC are the universities. How's that for irony?

But
I never claimed to be PC, and also I never claimed to dislike people who don't share my views.
Hey, I like Robbo, I just disagree with some of his views, but I believe he's entitled to 'em.
Even though they're wrong.
