  1. WILL YOU DREAM...THE IMPOSSIBLE DREAM?

    Sir, I find your insinuation to be heinous! Hear me now, you bleak blogoverse! You, who are filled with image abuse and hate! I am a staff member of this site, and now I hurl down the gauntlet at your feet! I am Comrade Gato, a forum mentor of BZPower. My destiny has called, and I have heeded its call. The whimsical winds of fortune will cary me onward where they go, and where I shall go is to glory!

    I'm Aho! Yes, I'm Aho!

    I'll follow my comrade till the end.

    I'll boast to BZPower proudly

    I'm his lover! I'm his friend!

  2. Clearly.

     

    I recommend "So Long Self". It's a catchy tune, humorous lyrics, and a message I agree with. Still working in being perfect, though.

     

    :w:

    Do you like MercyMe? Their early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Undone came out in '04, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Casting Crowns, but I think Bart has a far much more bitter, cynical sense of humor. In '06, MercyMe released this, Coming Up to Breathe, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is "So Long Self", a song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of forgiveness, and the importance of spirituality, it's also a personal statement about the band itself!

  3. It's not so much the "sexually aggressiveness" as it is that homosexuality is a very sensitive and controversial subject for many people. BZPower has a reputation for avoiding controversy to help keep people from being fired up over issues like this. I simply find that allowing this leave open a door for controversial discussion. Something BZP likes to avoid.

    We wouldn't have this problem if people would just drop the subject. ;)

     

    Anyways, you seem to have quoted my pre-edit post, so let me point it out here. You bring up hypocrisy, but if we do as you say - banning the homosexual content but not heterosexual content - that would be hypocritical.

     

    Anyways, yeah. We can avoid controversy by, y'know, not starting it or bringing it back up.

  4. I don't think you know this, but the staff ARE considering it, and we HAVE considered it, and we HAVE deemed the kissing fine, because it's NOT sexually suggestive, regardless of if it's homosexual or heterosexual. There's really nothing inconsistent or hypocritical here (in fact, allowing only heterosexual kissing but not homosexual kissing would be hypocritical, not what you described).

     

    Please drop the subject. If they're bothering you that hard then may I suggest some advice provided by Nuhrii the Metruan.
