Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
I guess I want to have your opinion on this:
I am now receiving email solicitations from Trump's campaign offering official Mugshot merch in exchange for donations. They have quips like the following:
What is your take on making Trump mugshot merch and selling it? On one hand, the mug-shot is public domain by default, so there is no copyright issue here. On the other hand, it does look like we are greedily profiting off Trump's misery here for selfish gains, especially if we don't send a few bucks over to Trump afterward...
I was going to order t-shirts from a link DJT posted I was getting ready to submit my order and noticed it was going to WinRed. I don’t trust WR
Don, Jr is selling shirts from his site. All proceeds go to fighting the lawsuits.
Thank you! I’ll check it out
I think Trump's campaign doing so is a bit gauche, but I don't feel strongly about it.
