As the two above have stated, while the idea of a do no discuss list makes some people a little upset, you'll understand once you hear a couple people duke it out over one of the titles.
In a perfect world, we might not need a do not discuss list, because people could TRULY discuss something in a "civil manner." Unfortuneately, we live here in a world where people get their point across by clawing those with opposing views. In this world we live in, a friendly place like CAA can only be maintained with the help of the DNDL.
[Just a quick note, the DNDL is not a "If you enjoy this, you are going straight to Hell" list. It's just a list created to keep the boards from digressing into petty shouting matches.]
*Salutes DNDL*
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill.
Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.
Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.
But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence.
