    This.

    But organized religion is also problematic. They should preach acceptance and tolerance, but many followers are, in fact, the opposite of that in their actions.

    Still, if LSU wanted to use the photo, they shouldn't have edited it.

    I did. It doesn't have to be mentioned previously to be a valid observation.

    So, what? Who does this hurt? No one's rights are being infringed upon, yet people are still pretending to be "offended". This literally makes no difference whatsoever.

    School spokesman Herb Vincent told the site the school altered the image to prevent other students from being offended by the weekly Geaux-Mail newsletter.

    We're actually concerned that a small symbol of someone's Christian belief might "offend" someone?? Tough shit if you're offended. Go back to whatever dump you slinked over from.

    Since when do you have the right to not be offended?

    But see, now all of you are offended. It was just a matter of who gets pissed off (over nothing); it doesn't make it any more "unjust" because you were the one who did.

    Way to side-step every point I've made. I don't blame you; you literally have nothing justifiable to be upset over.

    It matters because one is a reaction to an action, erasing the image and one is a perceived offense to doing nothing.

    It matters because it's part of a much larger issue of kowtowing to extremists. It all adds up and sends the message that you somehow have the right to not have to see or hear things you may not like or agree with.

    Painting a false picture of LSU fans and students is a far more offensive than simply leaving the photo alone.

    But that's just semantics. It doesn't make one inherently worse than the other. LSU is the owner of the photograph, and it's their choice if they don't want the picture to make it seem as if they're endorsing a particular religion. They're not telling the students not to wear the crosses in the stadium.

    Extremists? I think you're probably fighting this battle on the wrong front. Just because LSU exercised their right to do something and it doesn't align with your beliefs doesn't mean that the world is any worse off because of it.

    Pure conjecture. LSU exercised their right to not display something in an image that they felt was potentially polarizing. This doesn't have anything to do with anybody else's rights.

    To you, maybe. But, like you've said more than once in this thread, you don't have the right to not get offended. Cuts both ways.

    "Side step" "censorship" "christian university" way to sling a little mud on the wall and hope just one point sticks......sounds like a plaintiffs attorney, lets just pull everything out of the hat and hope it applies......your one clear point is you don't care for this thread......
