I know you said
Why can't you just get over it,
It turned my whole world around
and i kind of like it
I made by bed, and I sleep like a baby,
With no regrets and I don't mind saying,
It's a sad sad story
That a mother will teach her daughter
that she ought to hate a perfect stranger.
And how in the world
Can the words that I said
Send somebody so over the edge
That they'd write me a letter
Saying that I better shut up and sing
Or my life will be over

Children may come across the site by accident but I would like to know if you have any evidence that they actually register and post. I just can't see any of it appealing to kids. There is no junior section in the topic list, which if it was aimed at kids too it should have. Personally I think us all drivelling on about relationships and religion would bore the crap out of any kid.
If children access the site by accident and see something you deem unsuitable that is not your responsibility it is their parents job to monitor what they look at on the internet. You cant alter this website which seems meant for adults JUST IN CASE some kid sometime will come across it and see a rude picture or comment. Of course there is no need to post porn (sorry obiwan) but the pic jelakins posted was hardly that. |

The voice of reason!! Thank you LadySizzla!
ETJ censorship is becoming more about 'what if' rather than 'that's wrong'
Like I said disheartened now. |

Re: Controversy
Ok - another one for discussion....
This one is not offensive to me but it is very controversial in the light of recent deletions!

Yes, even though art is often left up to one's interpretation, now that the point has been made clear this leaves very little to one's imagination and is therfore a source of controversy.
|
My opinion of this image is the following...:
Graphically depicting the act of intercourse between an man and a woman (the name of this particular position in the Kama Sutra is "The Visitor") - refer specifically the the phallic image that joins the two people, the couple appear to be in hell as the background looks like flames... Ergo this image can be perceived as a non-christian, pornographic image...
Now - to take this particular picture to another level, the person using this as their signature has clearly stated her dislike of child unfriendly images - is this not such an image....?
Discuss...

Wow, dont hold back Jel!
I love the picture but have never before noticed the black pointy thing lol 
Though my own views are very clear Im not here to take sides with anyone but ten out of ten to you for backing up your argument with evidence.

DWL...I never realised or notice the black pointy thingy either... now this fine piece of artwork took on another meaning...therefore I will need to find another to replace it. My description of that peice of art was simply about love and passion....NOT about sex or fire.
Anyhow...there is a fine line between artwork and not. The previous image (the removed one) is up for approval from admin and its their choice whether to re-instate it...not mine. I do not believe a pic of a cake of a baby hanging out of it's mommies coochie is deemed appropriate. But, once again.... it's up to admin to change the decision.
This new image (as well as others that are on this site) are clearly forms of art work. If they deem this new image as in-appropriate, then I will remove it as well.
As for being a christian..that does not mean I am closed minded when it comes to images. I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree and have an immense appreciation for art. With my knowledge and experience in the art field...I also am rather confident that I know the difference between what is considered appropriate art for this site and what is not.
As for children on this site...Yes, there are several that are under the age of 18 that I could point out, but I don't think that is appropriate either.
Once again...if a member doesn't like the rules, speak with admin. Members do not have to remain at this site.

Re: Controversy
Now as for the most current image in my siggy..... what would be ones interpretation of this??? Is this controversial???
I for one believe there is a fine line between wah is exceptable and what is not. There are images that I appreciate and know that this is NOT the site for them.
For this particular image...... it's a beautiful representation of a
inter-racial couple..coming together in passion. The fiery love between them is so strong that they will overcome all else.

Re: Controversy
I noticed the pointy thing right away. I think it would make the difference in me hanging it on a wall.
