Just sayin' The purpose of voting to unblock the word Piss could be for other friends who would want to use it, but yes, the main purpose of it is for users who individually want to keep using it.

I thought that was self-explanatory, though? He's meaning to say that voting A while knowing a number of users' presence on this site depends on is the most selfish, uncivil and downright despicable way to act in this situation, and I, quite frankly, don't disagree. Not holding the interests of another person who you have never met, who lives across the world, who you only talk to sometimes, above your own is hardly "the most selfish, uncivil and downright despicable way to act in this situation". Trying to guilt trip people into changing their votes, however, may be. I have to agree with Fort. You can't expect the whole community to cater to a few users just because they have silly parents. The community has the right to vote on changes they see as beneficial. If it impedes upon a select few's interests, that's not really worth scrapping everyone else's interests for. So you have to decide which side you're willing to lose; the majority or the minority. No one ever cares about the minority, so generally people will just say farewell and go on living their wonderful chat days in peace with their fellow friends. What I'm getting at is, why does it have to be that way, when both silly parent's kids and mature parents kids can be on the same site with the "mature" parents kids "suffering" to a degree by not using their preferred words? Is that too selfish to ask? That it seems is the question. No wrong or right answer to this as far as I'm concerned. I don't have a problem with you opposing because of your friends, or supporting for your own interests, but I do have a problem if you're trying to make people feel bad about supporting. ^^^

But at the same time, there is a point where some people need to set the line on what their parents let them do/not do. I'm not saying be a rambunctious child with no respect for parents, but at the same time your parents don't always realize what's good/bad, which is where you make choices based on what you think is in your best interest. Not your parents' idea of your best interest necessarily. Obviously LMBW is a place where a lot of you manage to socialize with people you all get along with&mdash;that's a really good thing for you to have in your life. Don't just let your parents take that away from you because they think it's not good for you for some silly reason such as words that are allowed/disallowed. Hh my goodness that text I almost needed to zoom in

TBH, my parents don't like me being on here because of it being a time waster. Which considering all the gaming I do, I'd rather waste time here than in a video game. That's not rebutting my parents, but managing my time. I don't agree with you about not listening to your parents about certain things you should be able to make decision on yourself, I think that's one of the major problems with today's world, parents letting their kids make choices themselves that from an early age they shouldn't be making themselves. But that's my personal opinion, and certainly subjective. But I agree with Fort, don't make people feel bad about their vote.
