First of, i would like to say, in no way do i approve of or agree with facebook deleting the "grasscity" facebook page. However i would like people to realize, its a mere business decision, "facebook" could haven chosen to keep the page, which had drawn a fair amount of attention, but has a culturally unaccepted agenda and looks like a bad stance to take from a bussiness view. Frutsrating, yes, dissapointing, definitely. However, we need to remember, this is a website that also chooses to censor from a bussiness standpoint, and not support certain things, it does this even with a agreement to viewing content and requiring one to be 18 years old to sign up, understandably. However, let us not forget facebook has no real control over age, so these "unacceptable" things aren't taken care of, it looks bad. So they are hidden. Personally I find im dissapointed in every way, with facebook, grassicty, the business world, and what society accepts. If this is contreversial to g.c., the moderators, or even members, feel free to take it down, just wanted to see what people think, play the devil advocate, and voice my opinion.
I think Grasscity shouldn't be mad at facebook deleting their page because they don't condone certain things either. If you want to bitch about censorship, then let us discuss other drugs.
Damn straight! How dare grasscity get pissed at facebook for not letting them promote weed when grasscity censors drug discussion here. Im not happy with either ones decision.
For the motherfucking truth. I remember when this website used to hold an enormous and invaluable amount of information on all kind's of psychoactive substances similar to Erowid, but alas, no more.
Theres nothing anyone can do. Though I am surprised to see a number of islamist extremist, thank god for dead soldier pages, and alot of other obliviously distasteful things they don't get rid of. Quite disturbing the lot.
What I find more disturbing, esp. since FB decided to delete the page....is this FB type shit on the forum now. What? People need to seek validation for posts now? Get a fucking life. Its laughable....didnt think GC would do something like this.
That too, i had to have a mod check this over. Glad to see everyone agrees, and im not crazy in seeing this.
fuck yeah - GC was near super power. Now, it's an unfortunate little kids' utopia. I miss the old GC... Still a good web site though. Kind of hypocritical to become upset over censorship.
Superjoint shouldn't bitch at all for facebook deleting their page for this reason alone...Freedom of speach brah!
Grasscity is an openly "counter-culture" community. It condones the discussion of illegal consumption of marijuana, and therefore is a liability to facebook since they can't be seen to support something illegal. In fact, Facebook deleting grasscity is not near as offensive as a forum that condones recreational marijuana use but will shut down any other talk of drugs even though they're at least AS ILLEGAL or LESS.
I also miss the old gc. I remember when it was great! but alas a few rotten apples spoiled the whole bunch.
This. Grass city has absolutely NO right to complain about their page getting deleted. I'm almost glad it was, so they know what it's like to have something deleted that they spent time on for no legitimate reason.
