Tony, are you seriously jumping on the latest conspiracy theory that the Sandy Hook shootings were a gov't black opps in order to steal a perceived right to be an as#@&%e with a gun ?
What exactly do you define as obscene with this thread ?
anastasia should have nuked that thread. it's a measure of her immaturity, and perhaps her ego, that she couldn't recognize the monster she had created.
Dude, I think your cheese has slid off yer cracker
atchafayala,
on what grounds? I believe many whom believe in Carnivore or
other types of that software to be of unsound and or mentally
unstable minds. If there is grounds to search a computer mental
soundness should grant a court order for confiscation of the
computer itself so prevent liability upon those whom are probably
unsound minds.
I enjoy the irony that as the tits got smaller, the more upset peoples got.
I thought the Boob thread was quite cutting-edge and thought provoking.
Grok on this for a minute:
If underage tities are so horribly wrong (and I'm not sure what as posted was underage), then does that make topless beaches in Europe where parents walk around with their kids the devil's playground?
No, at the end of the day, it is the human body, male or female.
If we as westerners saw more nudity, we would be desensitized to it and it wouldn't be the issue it is.
this thread was started by a young woman with an agenda
Tony,
I think CMac acted properly in removing the thread, given his potential liability. I've seen many people sentenced to be remanded to the custody of the Federal Bureau of Prisons for child pornography, and those were almost always my most depressing days in court. Also, Super Topo is in the business of selling climbing guides, and can legitimately regulate content that might drive potential customers away because of unnecessary offense.
Nonetheless, I feel a need to stand up for my friend Anastasia. While I'm sure she's amused to be called a young woman, her only "agenda" was, I'm quite sure, having some fun (and poking some fun rather gently)at the expense of her male friends.
Anastasia is a climber, wife, mother, and also the holder and expounder of political beliefs that are often the exact opposite of mine. I find her contributions here valuable. I would also note that she, too, took a rather extended sabbatical from ST and I, for one, am glad she chose to return.
While I'm sorry that Lolli has decided to leave (temporarily, I hope), I just can't see the happenings on any climbers' forum as serious. Also, I don't think we'd have a worthwhile forum if we all had to tiptoe on eggshells for fear of offending someone. Again, this is a private forum, and CMac has the right to regulate it in any way he sees fit. I, for one, greatly appreciate how he's given us as wide a latitude as possible to express ourselves.
Let us know!
