You have no rating, how can it be going down? You don't get a star rating until you reach 100 posts. The way you're going with your language you aren't likely to make it to 100. You may not feel that your language is offensive but others might. A little respect for other's feelings goes a long way. If you're going to be a part of an online community you must abide by their rules. If you think those rules are bull and you don't wish to follow them then don't join... start your own board where you can feel free to say whatever you wish. You are old enough to know this by now... why ask?

Oh, that's it. I wasn't sure about that rating system, thanks.
I challenge this system and the systems that surround me because I hope for change, not isolation.
I will continue, til I die disobeying the rules.
But you're right, I just joined today and I think I may be a little too punk rock for myLot
Man, I sound like some kind of Idealist on these pages
Enjoy!!

Too punk rock? heh... start answering some of the religious and political discussions if you are looking for a rise.

I'm all for challenging the system, however this is a privately owned forum, not the system. As a privately owned forum the owner has the right the make the rules.
It's no different than if you owned a bar, you could choose to have only punk rock bands play in your bar. No one else could make that decision for you.
But that doesn't mean that you can go into someone else's bar where they are playing classical chamber music and think you have a right to loudly and offensively complain about it. The appropriate thing to do it simply leave.

Don't worry you will do well on this site. No one would ever accuse you of being too PC. It seems the more obnoxious, intolerant and bigoted you can be about people you do not know and places you have never been the more people just like you will ask to become you friends.
They will back you to the hilt no matter how shocking your answer is and try to top you for the fun of it.
Moderate voices get bashed. Your friends will boost your ratings if you begin to sound more like them. Me it seems like I have hit a steady 60/40 split of opinions of me.
There is also the small group of people that no one could ever dislike -they are always positive and kind. You are not one of them but neither am I. You will fit it just fine with many angry people on this site and do well once you reach 100 and beyond.

Bigoted? why cuz I don't like religion? I don't like communism but I don't hate Cubans bigotry implies very negative Ideas that I don't think apply to me. There are many negative things that apply to me obnoxious intolerant yes mean spirited arrogant unquestionably. I don't think that bigot is one of my many flaws. But I thank you for your help. I assure although I am obnoxious I don't just do it to mess with people, I believe what I say. I really want to change peoples minds because people like George W. Bush can command half the populous of the US, and the other half fell behind the sniveling democrats regardless of how pathetic their candidate was.
Anyway I'm gonna go look at your stuff now.
Peace

I don't think you are a prick... I think your answers show a high level of humor and intelligence.
I give all of them a + rating... so that should help you to actually get a rating.
