A question for fellow MFP users

Last Word.

I did scroll on down so the pic would not be showing because I'm at work and wouldn't want anyone to see the pic and get the wrong idea about what I'm looking at because everyone at work knows I'm a Christian.

Also I just want to say that I have never reported anyone for their pics even though I'm very conservative. That being said, reporting does happen by conservatives and not so conservatives alike. I've even been reported. So people need to keep that in mind when they start pointing fingers (so to speak) at people who report others. It's not just the conservatives who do it.

I think it is a witch hunt.

I'm not going to repeat myself again, but here's the abbreviated version of my opinion.

If you want contol, start your own site. Otherwise, stay and deal with it, or deactivate and don't deal with it.

if i got an ad like that on my sidebar, i'd close the window and reopen it so something else popped up. you don't really have that option with profile pics (although i've never reported one, there are some that make me uncomfortable). my ads are for things like organic dog food, ivory soap, colorado athletic club, and ann taylor loft.

Thank you for answering my question,thats all I really wanted to know lol
My ads are normally the one I posted,and relgious ones oddly enough ,and cars lol

EmpressOfJudgment

Does anyone else feel like we have been beating a dead horse here?

Thats was not the intent of my OP

Oh, I know. I don't blame you at all.

- no nudity
- no underwear, thongs, g-strings, or banana hammocks
- no excessive cleavage (if you would wear it to work, it’s probably OK)
- no close-up shots of your cleavage, butt, breasts or crotch in any state of dress

So... as a male... it's still ok for me to post shirtless photos... but a female can't even post a bikini shot??? Just saying...

I was watching it as well. They are amazing. I was surprised that the score was not more lopsided. I don't know how anyone can measure up against FC Barcelona.

Personally, I get a kick out of the eDiets For Men ads with closeup shots of a hot chick in a bikini. Get awesome results! Like... boobies!

Yeah, Barca are a quality side. Did anyone watch the Chelsea match though? Now that was a massacre...

Good to see Torres fighting back after his recent trouble. Is he worth £50m though? Nah.

Saw the hightlights. Nope, Torres is not worth the money. Frankly, though, I don't think any sports star is worth that kind of money.

So, no resoinse Road Dog??

I'm not going to repeat myself again, but here's the abbreviated version of my opinion.

If you want contol, start your own site. Otherwise, stay and deal with it, or deactivate and don't deal with it.

I was not questioning the site owners or mods,I was asking a question to the people that have a problem with the pics. So there was no need to repeat yourself in the first place. This thread was not started in protest of the pictures being removed it was a question for other users

This continually comes up. I don't understand why. Common courtesy dictates that when I come into YOUR home, I respect your wishes and rules, AND, when you visit my home, YOU abide by my rules and wishes. If I am morally or ethically unable to live with your rules, I won't visit your home. And, of course, vice versa. What I will not do, is try and change your home and I do not welcome your change in my own.

I TOTALLY get and RESPECT what you are saying, however, not EVERYTHING that was pulled was explicit or risque. But, I am not one to determine which thing pictures can stay and which should go. No! Mine was not a thong and neither was a friends who was completely clothed, lol. But, I'm not the shot caller, so I will post only acceptable ones from now on.

Can't we all just get along....my opinion is if you don't like it, don't look at it....move on....live and let live....MYOB...and all that good stuff. I am new hear but what I am seeing is a great group of folks supporting each other. We all have different values, senses of humor, and so on. Post what you think is appropriate and if it gets reported, then it gets removed...life goes on. Don't be afraid to express yourself in the manner that you see fit! :bigsmile:

You're right about Torres though or any individual player. Unfortunately I think Abramovich's involvement has distorted the European transfer market. It's just getting worse now with the likes of Al Nayhan at Man City. I'm going to stop now before I have a giant rant...

I agree. Too much going on right now, to watch as many games as I would like, so I concentrate on my favorite teams. That means UEFA and , specifically, Barca. Although, I would watch any team that had Messi on it.

Well it's no secret as far as I go. . I don't want my daughter walking by the computer seeing breasts or bottoms in the camera. . a bikini where you are standing back from the camera to show progress is perfectly fine. . nothing wrong with that. . So I just think it comes down to how you present the picture. .

Believe me when I get my boxing body back I will be showing my progress. . . but I think there are limits . . for me a tank top and shorts can show my progress just fine. . or perhaps a bathing suit.

That's you. It's just too bad that we aren't subjected to the same rules as everything else in society. You watch TV? You will see and hear more, much more there than you would ever think of seeing here! we ARE adults. You are supposed to be to be on this site (though clearly that is only lightly enforced). PG-13 is pretty clear as far as the standards that should be enforced - no nudity. If you see nipple (ridiculous in and of itself that it is considered adult only - IMO), or crotch that's inappropriate. But seriously, unless you live in Gnome or Fairbanks, maybe Moscow, you see more during the summer on the sidewalks of Anytown USA, or at any public beach. Adults should be treated like adults.

Precisely. .and as a Christian mom. . we don't watch much tv for that very reason. . because there are too many risque scenes and foul language and such. . so I preview all programs that my daughter is allowed to view. . we watch things like sing off, biggest loser, x-factor, and of couse (selected cartoons)

I have seen pictures where they are not wearing much on biggest loser. What do you do in the summer? Are your children not allowed to go to the beach? Are they homeschooled? I walked into a grade school hallway, and those kids were wearing next to nothing! Booties hanging out, shirts too small and too tight. That was in a public setting, not on a website. If you limit the access to these other images, why don't you limit yourself from this site and other websites since they are not in your standards?

There are people that have pictures in their gallery for some time that are now being deleted that have never been presented as a profile pic. Sure, abide by the rules, but don't enforce them sudden;y when they haven't been enforced before, and without warning.

So that's what happened to my Warrior Dash pic!! Seriously?? I was covered in mud - head to toe and I was wearing a tank top and long pants. Maybe it was the post race banana I was eating?? Guess a banana gets the boot now, huh??!!

Messi is amazing. At the last World Cup I was secretly supporting Argentina just because the man has so much skill and talent (although I was secretly double crossing with the Dutch as well because Cruyff was such a legend and I would have loved to have seen them win for his legacy..)

Barca are superb and play attractive football. Messi, Xavi, Iniesta...I can understand why people love them.

I was rooting for Argentina for the same reason.
