Curves - Bad News

I mean, absolutely shocked! I thought people might want to know what kind of an organization they are supporting. I don't see this as trouble-making -- I actually thought I was being active and helpful. Don't people want to know where there hard-earned dollars are going? True, some people might think this is good news, but whatever type of news it is -- it's news. It's something we, as possible consumers of Curves, should know. I am AMAZED at the anger this has generated. I had no idea people would respond by plonking me or getting angry. I thought people had a right to know -- I guess some people just don't want to know, and killfile the messenger, so to speak. You're shocked? It seems to be SOP around here, to killfile the messenger if they don't like the message. Serious consideration of the points in question is not the issue. Support means the truth doesn't matter to most of the posters in this newsgroup. |

Curves - Bad News
I'll bet you're glad your mom didn't have an abortion.
I think I'd join Curves even if I didn't plan on using my memership if I knew it was "prolife." Becky P. www.family.solidrockpl.org P.S. But you're certainly entitled to boycott it, just like I'm entitled to boycott PP. Just not sure why it is so "awful" that they are anti-abortion...about half of America is. My guess is, this forum would be split about half/half on the issue, and the results would differ mostly probably depending on how the person worded the question... |

You should always quote whomever triggered your reply, at a minimum.

Your intent may be to be helpful. If the reader disagrees, it is viewed as offensive. Please try to see it from another point of view. I love this newsgroup because the posters generally try to be helpful, supportive, and on-topic most of the time. There are posters here who have views diametrically opposed to my own, politically, religiously.....I appreciate their on-topic contributions AND I actually like them, or their online pesona, at any rate. I don't know if they would feel the same about me if I were to post my political/religious views, and since this is a diet support newsgroup, I try not to do that. PoohBear |

Curves - Bad News
True.. but considering several here do use Curves for workouts, (and that
particular topic can be VERY volatile in nature given the extremes from one side to the other in beliefs,) I was glad to see it. I had considered Curves, as there is one not a mile from here.. I will not even bother at this point given that information. However it should have been labeled at least slightly off topic and should not have been posted from a group given to hearsay.. I think the link to the article should have been enough, leaving out the mention of the gossip group. That in itself is enough to turn most people off from what could be good information.

Teeb Dear Teeb, I hear what you are saying. Nimue had indicated she was shocked, extremely shocked. It was my hope that after reading my post, she might better understand why the original post elicited the response that shocked her. Thanks, PoohBear |

I think you did well to show this information, thank you [shaking your hand]. If I were to choose and had curves in mind, it would certainly be removed from my list, as I see the anti-choice groups as softcore terrorism. The last thing we need in this world is millions of unwanted kids by unfit parents. There are enough of those as it is. |
