NEW limited poll on sexually explicit avatars & signatures

[Endymion]

I think we have a pretty vague and liberal definition of "sexually explicit" --

It seems to me that this discussion is a matter of semantics and hot tempers really more than anything else.

I think that is kind of odd of way to say that.... Freedom is our right and do whatever we want to do unless if Moderator say so then we will do obey that but so far not! Soooo that kind of ironic to me tho....

[Tousi]

I agree, Endy; esp with the "liberal". The hot tempers is a given...lol.

[Eve]

I personally feel that if we all took the time and thought "what would my mother think of this" or "would I want my son/daughter/niece/nephew looking at this" before posting in open forum and especially in an avatar or signature which is posted each time a post is made, it might help determine what is appropriate and what is not. As for the definition of "sexually explicit", I earlier posted the definition from wikipedia. I don't see this as having anything to do with semantics or hot tempers. I see this as being a matter of courtesy and respect, something that some of us here are lacking in.

Unless if I am wrong but still to me they are not too bad at all!! I guess!! Oh well I am just an old fashion! LOL but still nothing has to do with being an old fashion! haha oh well....

Let Alex will create the professional polls for AD, NOT EVE...

Exactly! That is what I mean by that! Only MOds do that not us!

it's not like anyone is saying that we can't post this stuff, just that we should be careful about where we post it

I don't post on this forum when other members of my family are in the room. Why? Because some of the things even outside of the Penisarium would embarrass me if my family saw it. Never mind that we're all adults (which we are)--I just know it would be embarrassing.

Know thyself.

I apolgozie to saying that, Eve. I think its a little immature of you to being like that way. I think it suppose to be Alex's, RoadRunner's, Vampy's jobs to doing that, not you. If they want to say something then why not they come up in here and talk abt it so we can see what their opinions is, etc like that. Just us, I dont understand why you need to bring it up. I already SAW THREE THREADS same shit of title that you been post already. Its enough to post the threads SAME TITLE since you already posted THREE TIMES. It will be my last post in here and I will let you guys handle, I just wanted you to see how I feel, Eve. I apologize to said that, but its fact how I felt abt that thread. Thanks. Bye

I'm not entirely sure where you're going with that remark in light of what I said. I was talking about my family, not me.

Sadly, that doesn't always work; there are some posters who have very "liberal" ideas of what is acceptable for children to see.

[Beowulf]

And there is Homeland Security, who would take from you without you even saying what they took.
Strong post follows.

I know EVERYBODY in here have common sense, you dont have to tell us because you arent our mother. We are old enough to know. I apolgize again. I know everybody can make sure NO ONE(their kids) to looking at their computers same like they will do that when their kids are going to School OR sleeping, then they can do that whatever they want.

My opinion. I knew everybody do have common sense, same like you have it, Eve.

I am a parent and I don't allow my little girl to go on the internet without my supervision.
I have my computer desk turned around so she would not be able to see what is on my computer.

That's your opinion, but don't speak for some of us here....

Hey Eve, see what ButterflyGirl said? She is a parent and know what to do with her own daughter. Then, shush!

[Beowulf]

And here's the strong post---Go **** yourselves.
I will make a thread about this.
I'm in trouble now, huh?

Same here, and no matter where or how, children will intend to find a way to view some nudity images, it could be on TV, movies, magazines, books, or during sex classes at school and not only on the internet....

I agreed with you! How did my niece find out abt sex? BY THE SCHOOL, she learned abt sex. Then, she asked my sister abt that stuffs and my sister explained her and she understood. ALL OF KIDS WILL KNOW ABT SEX when they becomes old enough.

But parents ought to have a say in how they will explain those things. For instance, my parents decided I ought to learn from science books before there was too much time for me to hear (inaccurate) rumors from my classmates...

My point being, I do think there needs to be some consideration of that parental right.

Nope, she learned it from the teacher, not kids.

Not arguing how the particular case of your niece happened. But I'm not sure it's always a smart idea for a child's very first exposure to the concept of sex to be at school, without any preparatory discussion by the parents.

Oh well, all of kids have to learn abt Sex, Aids, STD, different of diease, etc like that. I think its good idea for them to learning abt that situation. Because I did talk to some of parents who is my friends told me that they have hard time to telling their kids abt sex, etc like that. They thank the school for teaching them abt that so they can dicussion more easier than at start...

While it's awkward, I do think parents have a responsibility to their children to conquer their fears and have the tough discussions. I imagine I'll do the same with my children, whenever I have them. When they get old enough, I'll take some books out from the library to help me with it. Schools don't always discuss all of the implications of sex, and that's where it's especially important for parents to take an active role in explaining what the standards of their house will be.

I had sex education class when I was in school, my parents did not teach me anything, we were very poor, they both worked hard by trying to support us by having a roof over our heads, my son had sex education class when he was in 5 th grade, he learned about sex, AIDS/HIV, protections and other sexually disease, he also had to do a project on AIDS, he learned so much from sex education classes and I did told him if he had any questions to ask me, he could come up to me anytime.....I see nothing wrong with children taking sex classes at school, it's all about learning and how to be aware of any sexually disease....


Mind me asking if you have any children?... ( you don't have to answer that if you do not want to, just curious )

I agreed with you, thats what School is for... Education for everything.
