Controversy



I fancy creating a new and controversial thread....
Controversy is what gets this board jumping
Little disputes...
A chance to make a statement that ends in IMHO
And I miss the board jumping....

So

If I went ahead and did it

Would I be wrong?

As long as it's not a personal attack on anyone...then nothing wrong with it.

Controversy with a healthy debate can be interesting and enjoyable....IMHO.

Re: Controversy

Not predictable at all. But I can find anything I want on this forum, except for a thread with "anal lube" in the title. So is your controversial thread something like an inkblot test? You said perception of images.

Re: Controversy

DWL.... You know the rules Jel. I can't say I agree or disagree about what you might post about pics.... I have an idea..but that would be an assumption. I will simply sit back and moderate.

Re: Controversy

Ok...

I just want to know

If anyone finds this image offensive....

I personally don't... Seeing it as a joke... an item that evokes mirth...

But would be interested to find out why others find it offensive...

Who does it offend?? Why does it offend you?

Wendy from Peter Pan is the 'speaker' - is she considered a mask covering the offensive...?

Is it the words used....

Or does it just make you laugh as it does me...?

Re: Controversy

I find it contradictory. That innocent face with the "***** please" comment doesn't go together. Why would someone be offended by that?

Re: Controversy

Call me thick but I dont see the controversy. Give us another when you stop being scared of the mods. Controversy is good. I dont believe in censorship. We are all big girls and boys.

aye
i own up to my share of that

as for the mods,
we had at one point some pretty strict ones
the intention of the site was to be a family oriented and sfw site
things like some of the old avatars and jokes about homosexuality were frowned upon until a new generation of mods took over
now they too have gone
and we now have a fairly moderate group (lol ...chuckles at the double usage)
i sometimes miss the unruly crowd but at least i am not being penalized for using the word penalize (is that penalise in the UK?)
lol

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
