Please dont judas me
Treat me as you like to be treated
Please dont blacklist me
Leave me as youd wish to find me
Dont analyze me, sacrifice me
Please dont judas me.

Please dont chastise me
Show me just one shred of kindness
Try to help me see
Guide me in my eyes of blindness
Dont despise me, categorize me
Please dont judas me.

No, no dont judas me
No, please dont judas me

Please dont headshrink me
Dont disguise your innuendos
Make no lies to me
I can see the way the wind blows
Dont deface me, annihilate me
Please dont judas me.

Please dont number me
Dont betray my trusted promise
Please dont anger me
I find it hard to bear no fairness
Dont frustrate me, manipulate me
Please dont judas me

No no dont judas me
No,please dont judas me

Whether or not this thread should be in the OC or even locked or whether HT has the right or not to place such a message in the MOTD I felt like it was simply an insult to my intelligence.  Not that I was going to engage in a political discussion or anything.  It simply didn't need to be there.

Will there be a no religious discussion MOTD at Easter and Christmas?  Will the no political discussion MOTD come back for President's day?

Simply rediculous.

Maybe you should call the ACLU! Your rights are being violated! Big Brother is watching. Pretty soon, they will tell you what planes you can fly based on your nationality!  :noid

Don't recall us paying to be on this forum, and less people using the forum = less power usage which could mean less $$ HTC has to spend on the forum perhaps?

I pay my money to play a game, not discuss politics, religion, etc., etc.  I can choose to de-tune certain channels in-game, but that deprives me of the full experience of being in an online community.  Most times I ignore the more obtuse comments, but at times it gets tiresome.  I don't care to be subjected to the rantings of zealots from whatever side of whichever fence they are.

Cheers HTC for reminding people that it's your sandbox in which we choose to play, and there are certain subjects that we (the paying customers) shouldn't have to put up with.  Race, religion and politics are probably the trifecta of hot-button subjects that can never make it past a few sentences before going terribly off course.

Oh get over yourself, what difference is today from any other day.  I seen worse.

my opinion is that I prefer not to hear politics, religion, flaming, badgering or whatever in the game. 200 and all channel has enough crap on it already.

This guy is either a complete idiot, or a troll with really good bait.

I hope for his sake it is the latter... either way, this thread has the life expectency of a 5 year old rectum at Michael Jackson's house.

You do realize the only evidence ever presented against Jackson was gossip? from a media bow-head?

Put down the Jesus juice and don't defend the eccentric, indigent, lover of young children.

Besides, I'm sure the settlement that he handed over wasn't so he could avoid prosecution, that would be incredibly naive of me.

Notice how all the people, from countries other than the United States, rarely if EVER mention anything political in game?  I wish we could be more like that.  If I had a way to de-tune all the public channels in game, I'd be fine with political talk.  Thank you HTC for trying to limit all the in-game blabber!

Thank you HTC for keeping the politics and religions out of the game  :salute
Remember, it's not just people from US who play the game, and don't necessarily have common interest in these matters.
