Illegal in Kentucky??

I've been here for over a year and have recommended AD to teachers and friends in the past. I generally won't post something that I wouldn't show to my family and friends. This includes my parents who are in their 70s.

Before I got the internet hooked up at my sis' home, I had to go to the public library. There have been times where I didn't check AD for fear of upsetting others. There's even a sign next to the PCs saying that it is illegal to look at porn/explicit material in a public building. I may not get arrested, but could be banned from the library. Banned from the library for me is the same as kicking a kid out of the candy store. It's a heavy price to pay.

Freedom of speech is one thing, but we should still respect others. That's my two cents.

You know what Eve, you actually started this crap by starting the polls and stirring problems in here. You pushed alot of members away and caused friendships to fall apart because of what you did. you should have talked with Alex in private and tell him you didn't agree with the sexual contents going on in here. Instead you come in here and making polls not one poll.. 2 and now 3. you've got to stop it. nobody had a problem before you came along. you haven't posted in here in a long time and you suddenly come in here and start bitchin'. stop it. you've done enough damage around here. we were actually having a blast til you came in.

By the way.. stop bashing on GA.. come and bash on me. leave GA alone. Everybody is tired of it.. we all want peace and go back to our normal lives Thank you

There is tons of reasons why they should be removed .. far better reasons than your reasons on those avatars and such.

We have had enough of them being exposed and so offensive so we only have to voice loud and fight to stop this nonsense infection exposing in this public forum. We won't stop till expect Alex to act and decide what is for the best. But no bashing here ok.

As you know it's pretty much good vs evil situation here. We don't like it either but we have to stand up and speak against those nasty avatars.

Does it increase your "benefit" to keep those nasty avatars? Nah, none really! It's so mind-bogging that you guys don't think it's nasty or offensive for the public in general.

Only the way I can recommend is to have a password for the Penisarium while prohbit those nasty avatars. That will satisfy us all enough.

Agree?

I agree with you about the password in the penisarium..

but

why haven't you said anything about the sexual contents before Eve brought it up? Nobody was complaining til Eve brought it and now its just made Alldeaf worse and i'm sure it's made Alex and the mods more stressful with all the damn bickering in here! I totally agree about having the password done in the penisarium but its going on and on and on.. and there are more enemies coming along and the true colors are coming out.. it's definitely making Alldeaf look really bad now.. compared to a picture in avatar and sigs. its just a picture, for God's sake!

But there must be a reason for kicking that kid outta the candy store.

There are 3 options favoring against these type of signatures/avatars and only 1 supporting it. This poll is deemed biased and invalid, thus I'm closing it.
