FUN?
Do you really think that your suggestions and that challenge is something for entertainment? Where in your tiny brain can you think that this can be a NICE, FUN and INTERESTING idea?
Cgtalk asks for show respect, polite and being courteous, but your words and idea are the worst of all CGTalk History, I will complain directly to Cgtalk staff to remove this post.
Would you consider a NICE and Interesting idea about how to plan and design ideas and make a cg movie on how to attack your country with nukes? Would you consider a NICE and INTERESTING idea to support ignorant dieas like attacking buildings on USA with USA cityzens as missiles?,
DO YOU CONSIDER NICE AND FUN that several ignorant and animal Texas farmers chase and shot against humans that porsuit a better future to give a better life to their families? and at those animals with hats and rifles tell to the news "oh, I thought It was a dog walking on its 2 rear legs and wearing clothes so I decided to kill it"
Do you consider a fun idea to build walls with surveillance turrets for shoting people?
You are discusting, as well as all the people who accepted that stupid challenge on that
web page.
Even mooooore stupid is this GRIFF for having this NICE and FUNNY idea.
I will ask for a cancellation of this post and if possible an orange target for you.
Be careful with your words and suggestions my north neighbor, this is a web page about CG and here, we all are friends due to a common hobby or job, so, dont mess with politics and supid ideas like that ok?

Hear! Hear! 2012_C.E.S.A.R.
I think its about time that Mexicans stop letting Americans trample on their human rights. Mexicans play a huge role working in the US economy and its the choice of the US, not Mexico to make that work "illegal". All those millions of workers who pick crops on US farms are stealing US jobs, right?
Micky- What do you think of the idea of the Auschwitz wall challange? Since you want to propogate the stereotype of Mexicans as sub human rabble, this would be another tribute to mankinds efforts in eradicating unwanted rabble.

sorry, didnt mean to offend, but i saw it as more of making fun of our american government and its flaws... atleast my aproach to it.
it is ilegal when a mexican sneaks across the border, and it steals jobs from the americans. while it is ilegal to hire an ilegal immigrant, it happens anyway because mexicans work cheaper than americans. yeah sure, those illegal imigrants do not deserved to be shot by the incredibly racist people that guard the border. but america needs to keep them out, wether that means building a wall halfway across the mexican border or not.
illegal immigration is a serious and touchy topic for both sides, but please, try to see this challenge with a light hearted attitude.

Micky- Although this forum is not the place for politcal arguements, what you say is simply a insult to anyones intelligence, and should not be tolerated since were talking about the lives and welfare of 11 million people. Mexicans are not taking anyones job. Just drive down interstate 15 which passes the entire length of central california and you will see thousands of migrant workers hunched over in the fields picking crops, no exageration, thousands, and those are just the ones you can see from the freeway. You would have to be certified insane to think these jobs are being taken from american citizens. There are some jobs Mexicans aliens do that might under normal circumstances be a regular paying job, however over the last 10 years statistics have shown that there is a very low unemployment rate, and there have even been labor shortages. The fact is is that the US enjoys a very low cost of living because so many goods and services are cheap due to Mexican labor. The US is just putting up a smoke screen about how these workers invading the country and taking jobs, and has no serious intention of ever making these jobs legal jobs. A full length wall will never get built (its part of the smokescreen), just a wall in parts of the country where people can see the influx of migrants like the San Diego border. We live in a world where free market economy is the buzzword, and workers rights have become synonimous with communism. Its a shame, the migrant workers have no one to speak on their behalf, not even the Mexican government.

I'm new here, but it does seem to me that if you toss this challenge out the window that quickly, it's censorship. An artist can make a political statement with their art --- and this topic, as a *topic*, can be seen from either perspective. Some of the greatest art ever created (Guernica, Pablo Picasso, comes to mind) depicted terrible things. Art needn't be beautiful, or pleasant. It might have been much more effective to, rather than attempt to talk about an issue that you feel so strongly about, accept the challenge and create an image that made your opinion clear.
My 2 cents.

stm31415- Ive been on this forum since 2003, and I can tell you they do have rules of conduct against making political, religous, sexual or any other contriversial type thead topics. This is a privately owned forum, it is not public property. If you feel strongly about your rights of speech, go ahead, post a thread in general discussian about something offensive and see what happens.

Thanks for the heads up. I guess I was trying to say that I found the follow-ups more political and more likely to give offense than the original challenge. However, clearly it did give great offense, and I am in the wrong.
I generally think of a ban on politics and offensive subjects to be, generally, a ban on pure political opinion, without reference to CG, and a ban on gratuitous sex or racial slurs. Everything (including CG) has a social context, but not all social issues are CG. Again, thank you for taking the time to correct me. We all find different things offensive, and it is easy to commit an unwitting faux pas. I will try to avoid anything vaguely political on this forum.
