"i have a little scientific experiment for him. google "teen porn", and then dial 9-1-1."
Sheriffs have been known to cause wrongful death, psychopaths, maniacs
inmates etc. may uncorrectly categorize or stereotype.
By CA. law teen p0rn under the age of 18 may not always be unlawful.
Secondly when parents attempted to defend themselves using a emancipation
defense, the emancipation was not ruled void, however liability was still
bound to the parents of the emancipated minor due to failure to file a release form.
There's a general dynamic at play here - female, non serious or non climbers offended that male and mostly dedicated climbers are having fun trading photos of titties.
Now, underage or teen models should be out of bounds for various reasons - I honestly didn't even think about their age until some female poster pointed it out - but the hostility to the gist of the thread was obvious and coming from disgruntled women before that.
The climbing world hasn't always had this issue - climbing used to be a solid boys club, and women knew their place in it. Then climbing mags began to be scolded by "feminists" if they ever printed a photo of a woman that had any sexual quality to it. The mags caved to the vocal minority. I remember a letter raking Yvon Chouinard over the coals for using a photo of a topless woman bouldering, shot from behind in a pair of his stand up shorts, barely the side of one breast showing.
Pick up a surf, skate, snowboard, motorcycle mag and see the difference. There's more tits and ass in one surf mag than all issues of climbing combined.
It's almost like lots of climbing women are threatened by physically beautiful women, especially those with extra weight in their upper body who don't climb.
Nice effort to break out of the rut, Anastasia and crew. Prudes prevail again.

aint that the truth!
i went to the beach yestarday and it looked just like summer. tit's and roxy ass all around.
the boobs thread got the desperate climbers excited!
i agree with you tony.
i hope when a person contributes to this site it becomes usefull for the rest of this climbers community :)
Kevin, point well taken but for me there are other issues. I know this is a forum for climbers rather than a climbing forum but the OT content and the ensuing drama has gone, at least for me, over the top.
Maybe it's the angst that becomes more prevalent in the depths of winter, maybe it's just what the forum has become. The fact remains that 80% of the threads currently on ST can be found anywhere on the internet. Those threads, based on the posts they elicit, dominate the content of ST.
As i aproach my 70th birthday, the sands running ever faster thru the hourglass, i have decided to dedicate this year to some climbing goals. A climbing forum can serve like a support group and this does if you are willing to dig. Unfortunately, i find myself getting sucked into the muck and morass of the bulk of discussion here.
I need to take a sabbatical while i get on with my goals. I'll peek in to see if i can find a nugget or two.
The Climbing World that I live in does not seem to have a problem with nudity. But I guess that's because the Climbers that appear in StoneNudes are mostly in their 20's a much different generation than posts here. . .Think about it. . .df
I don't for a second believe that any well formed male actually has an issue with the female form in any way shape or form, nude of otherwise. I do believe that people enjoy masquerading as puritanical guardians of The Faith. But I wish they would really go into their own thoughts and beliefs instead of bashing ours. There is plenty of room for all opinions here, and the most august, righteous and bombastic are often the most entertaining. And this is all entertainment, of that we may be sure. There's nothing remotely "serious" about a thread on knockers, no matter how you spin it.
maybe you never had the pleasure of mixed company in climbing, warbler, but it pre-dates even your term in california. if i have to drop some names, try mr. and mrs. john mendenhall and mr. and mrs. chuck wilts. oh, yea, more boys than girls in this sport, but one of the things that attracted me was the happy mixed company of it. that all follows good manners out the window.
don't kid yourself that this is a guy thing. we already have a "tittay" thread that gets revived occasionally and then properly dies for lack of interest. this thread was started by a young woman with an agenda, and that has made all the difference.
maybe you missed the genesis of it, JL, being in the hospital. it did all begin with something quite serious, nothing remote about that, the sandy hook shootings. or, should i say, alleged shootings, according to the suggestion of tom cochrane, who brought up the little matter of mind control, patsies, and staged government terrorism, matters i know you'd probably rather not get into. it got to be quite a free-for-all for a few days over christmastime, and then anastasia decided to play the tits card to draw everyone away from the conspiracy theorizing and tom cochrane bashing. worked a charm. for the record, i'm not the least prudish about any of it, although i think it got pretty extreme for a climber's forum. i just ignored it and delivered an occasional snide remark on other threads. but i can't ignore losing lolli.
Let us know!
