Uh, does anyone else find this offensive? I was glad to find the forum and would like to participate but I found one thing instantly offensive. The karma rating (id your standing in this forum community) equated with breast size? I find this ridiculously offensive to the point that I probably will not use the forums until it is removed or changed. I mean why not equate karma with penis size? Why not change the name of the site to cocksquawk.com ?

As a woman and a musician I would like to be accorded a little more respect than that.



sheeesh

hehe...well...see you later!!!!

Strong words from a woman who's screen name sounds like a low hanging testicle. Sheeesh.

Careful getting down off that soap box. The fall from that high could be pretty dangerous.

Im sorry you're offended.

You know what offends me? People that get offended at the drop of the hat? So now you have offended me. I guess all thigns are even.

But hey, the Alibi can change it. That would not offend me.

Dandee, Jim... are you the guys responsible for this horrible insensitivity when you set-up RS? Perhaps you thought the "Karma" could be too offensive to the Hindu of Albuquerque. In this day in age with lawyers and political correctness it seems impossible to please everyone. I always thought it was clever and kinda funny. No one has ever complained about it.

Let's change it... Does anyone have suggestions for a new karma rating??? I think there is like 5 levels.

I took a poll once. Everyone voted for the bra size.

Im voting for A-Team memembers as the levels.

Start with Face go to BA Barakus.

Why don't you poll the women and see what they think. Failing that at least choose something that isn't overtly sexist. I am assuming that since this is a public forum for the music scenesters in Albuquerque and promoted by Alibi that you want to be inclusive of everybody. And SwingNut refers to the bassline not the nutsac ...

Seriously---what's so offensive about bra sizes?

SwingNut, my sister, you're preaching to the choir. I am very easily offended, and look for sexism and racism in everything and everywhere I go. Here are some other horrifying examples on intolerance and unfairness that one can find on Rock Squawk dot com:

No forum for Womyn's issues. I mean, WTF?

No forum for Homeopathic or Ayurvedic healing.

No forum for Vegetarians and/or Vegans.

No forum in support of reproductive rights.

The fact that "Camero Matt" has been allowed to use the boards unchecked.

Has anyone noticed that there are two letter 'd's in the name DanDee? Rampant, racist, bald-faced sexism.

It's in the constitution that all Americans have the right to go through life without being offended or ecountering uncomfortable situations. Yet here we are, in the age of george w bush, with these sacred rights being torn away. Dude, where's my country? I want my constitutionally guaranteed free ride NOW!

Let's force these cave-men into the 21st century! This is bullshit! 95%of a society soud HAVE to change to comeinto line witht the other 5%. It's the American Way!

Reform now! Demand accountability!

Dandee says "I took a poll once. Everyone voted for the bra size."

I want a recount! This reeks of voter fraud and high corruption! Plus, I heard that Pez and Dandee had intentionally attempted to disenfranchise minority voters, and that some voters were confused as to which little dot to pick on the standardised voting form. Unquestioning obedience to bad leadership is not patriotism! Down with the man! Free the Nantucket Five NOW!

The broads around here all voted for bra sizes. Confidant lot they are......

Hahahahahahaha, y'all are cracking me up over this....WEG u are a riot! All I can say is I'm a female and could really care less. That's my "official" vote....

I put up an "official" poll for all the ladies of RS under "general chatter" What do you ladies think of this?

1goddess, you need to get off the fence and get involved here, sister! If you are not outraged, you are not paying attention! He's not my president! What WMDS? If that will not sway you, I will have to bust out the heavy shit and tell you a fact that will blow your mind about this site. Are you ready to be appalled? Dig this:

There is no support offered for persyns who speak Spanish on Rock Squawk. Our plants in the corporate RS regime have reported that the powers that be, although not officially requiring it, condone and, in fact, encourage an English only policy here on Rock Squawk.

You guys are so outed! Viva el revolucion!

well come on ladies... think of a hierarchical "karma" structure that would be offensive to us guys... i'm all for it!!!

Ok WEG, did my duty and clicked my vote....happy now?!! (j/k) But anyhoo, I'm glad to see it was put up for vote, thanks webmonkey...

"Indignant Last Century Feminist"

"Know-It-All Who Won't Put Out"

Just what is that supposed to mean? Are you insinuating that, if Womyn did not watch the Oprah Winfrey show, they would have more time to wash dishes and do laundry? People like you fear Oprah and hir book club because you despise Womyn's literacy and every effort thereto. What a shame. It is a curse upon us all!

You mean like for real? Give it all I've got and promise I can come back tomorrow?

All i can say is the world would be SO much better off if WOMEN were in charge. I really mean that. I think women have evolved well beyond any man honestly
