I thought they were ok here. They have been in the past.

And now only in the political or religious (for religious stuff) forums?

This is what I was afraid of, but you de boss.

What are you confused about? If you want a political pic thread start one. This is funny pics. Feel free to talk about what ever, as long as it's relevant to the thread it's posted in. I'm not shutting politics and religion out of general discussion, I'm saying post it where it is appropriate.

AN ACTUAL PERSONAL AD
To the Guy Who Tried to Mug Me InDowntown Savannah night before last.
Date: 2009-05-27, 1 :43 a.m. E.S.T.
I was the guy wearing the black Burberry jacket that you demanded that I hand over, shortly after you pulled the knife on me and my girlfriend, threatening our lives. You also asked for my girlfriend's purse and earrings. I can only hope that you somehow come across this rather important message.
First, I'd like to apologize for your embarrassment; I didn't expect you to actually crap in your pants when I drew my pistol after you took my jacket.. The even ing was not that cold, and I was wearing the jacket for a reason.. My girlfriend had just bought me that Kimber Model 1911 .45 ACP pistol for my birthday, and we had picked up a shoulder holster for it that very evening. Obviously you agree that it is a very intimidating weapon when pointed at your head ... isn't it?!
I know it probably wasn't fun walking back to wherever you'd come from with that brown sludge in your pants. I'm sure it was even worse walking bare-footed since I made you leave your shoes, cell phone, and wallet with me. [That prevented you from calling or running to your buddies to come help mug us again].
After I called your mother or "Momma" as you had her listed in your cell, I explained the entire episode of what you'd done. Then I went and filled up my gas tank as well as those of four other people in the gas station, -- on your credit card. The guy with the big motor home took 150 gallons and was extremely grateful!
I gave your shoes to a homeless guy outside Vinnie Van Go Go's, along with all the cash in your wallet. [That made his day!]
I then threw your wallet into the big pink "pimp mobile" that was parked at the curb ... after I broke the windshield and side window and keyed the entire driver's side of the car.
Later, I called a bunch of phone sex numbers from your cell phone. Ma Bell just now shut down the line, although I only used the phone for a little over a day now, so what 's going on with that? Earlier, I managed to get in two threatening phone calls to the DA's office and one to the FBI, while mentioning President Obama as my possible target.
The FBI guy seemed really intense and we had a nice long chat (I guess while he traced your number etc.).
;In a way, perhaps I should apologize for not killing you . but I feel this type of retribution is a far more appropriate punishment for your threatened crime.. I wish you well as you try to sort through some of these rather immediate pressing issues, and can only hope that you have the opportunity to reflect upon, and perhaps reconsider, the career path you've chosen to pursue in life. Remember, next time you might not be so lucky.Have a good day!
Thoughtfully yours,
Alex

What's got me confused, Dean, is that most of the political pics I come across, I find to be funny and I thought they were appropriate for a "Funny" pic thread.

If the problem is one of offending someone, then what about pics that are considered funny by one person but offensive to another due to, say, religious grounds or because it is derogatory of a handicap like Mongloidism or a war injury, or what about cartoons being made of Obama shoving health care up an elephant's butt with a syringe (offensive to some conservatives) or the messianic one I posted since so many seem to think he is one (that one offends someone who does see him as their "messiah" though I'd need to see him walk on water ... deep water, unfrozen, of course)?

And as long as there are two people on this planet, unless they are completely out of communication with each other, one will eventually do or say something that will offend the other.

That's human nature ... except, of course, one of those last two people will want to know why the other hasn't (called, written, texted, emailed, sent up smoke signals) in far too long of a time.

Why does everything have to be controversial? Can't we all just get along....?

Hey guys, anybody know anything about Mr. Rogers? Most of us only know him for the TV show for kids. Prior to that he was in the special forces of the day, called commandos then. He devoted the rest of his life after that to getting people to get along instead of fight. Similar story for Captain Kangaroo

**jakeWI** · 03-31-2010, 11:15 PM

i heard Mr. Rogers had a lot of tattoo's from that period as well. another reason why he wore a sweeter all the time

**WJCraig** · 03-31-2010, 11:19 PM

All I know was that he has passed away and he was a Presbyterian minister for many years before starting the show, which was based on a Bible teaching puppet show used at his church for children.

Nope, this pic I took myself in a Hispanic part of town in a farming community. There is a lifted H2 with the same type of rims and tires on the other side of it. Look closely and you can see them.
