maybe if you talked to people about the books they read rather than posting about porn you might find some very stimulating intellectual conversation. there are alot of very intelligent people on this board.

mmmmmmeeeeeeehhhhhhhh!
im indifferent, dont care, whatever.

pokkeherrie · 06.01.2006, 06:49 AM

actually, the sonic youth board got blocked by my fucking work's internet filter because of pornography.

the numerical address still works (for how long?) but i can no longer risk venturing into the non-sonics section from work, because if there's someone posting porn there, then it likely blocks the entire site for me...

on the plus side that means no more time-wasting at work, but it also means i'd no longer have any acces to the sy site at all. not safe for work warnings at the top of the page won't help; once the page has loaded then the damage is already done.

so no, i don't approve of the porn here... although if it wasn't for that stupid filter thing then i guess i'd be indifferent.

I find it puerile rather than offensive, but, hey, kids get their kicks from trying to offend people, it's always been that way. They've probably only just got past the stage of saying "willies" in front of their mothers.

The problem I have with it is that I'm another one who logs on at work and doesn't really want to get sacked for viewing pornography on the internet.

Very well said!

Toilet & Bowels · 06.01.2006, 07:49 AM

people at werk have no right to complain, you're getting paid to do other things.

pokkeherrie · 06.01.2006, 07:52 AM

thanks for being considerate... some people (not me) only have access via their work.

most people don't come here to view porn... i heard there's many other places on the internet where you can find porn!

if you start making threads about stuff you are offended by, especially something like porn, then you're just creating more opportunity for the thing you dislike to flourish, and for yourself to be offended. if you don't like porn and do like literature, how about not starting a thread about porn and starting one about literature. or is that too easy?

Editing my post to make it look like I said something else, eh? (For the record, this text was inserted: "i'm uptight and think i'm better than you")
A sure sign you know you're in the wrong.
Pathetic!

Yep that's a fine point.And can i also add that if you find that a few pornographic images make you a shocking person or an interesting one,you really ought to get your head checked.Little kids and lonely,frusted men love that sort of thing but unfortunately there's a huge amount of them all over the place so it's not funny and it's not clever wichever way you put it.It's an old trick and one that seems to find it hard to die.

i don't think we're discussing porn in itself..
i think porn is fun..
it's even an extension on freedom of expression..

the argument at hand is regarding porn popping up on this board, just for the shock value or infantile humor..
i'm not saying no to porn..
i'm saying no to porn that hijacks our threads..

that is just vandalism in my opinion..
i'm not offended by it, but i'm not thrilled either..

sonic susie, I read intellectual booksand consider myself fairly wise, and getting wiser.

Most of us do read and are interested in literate things and artsy things and culture and stuff.

I'm beginning to like this sonicsusize lass.

The female version of Atari I thinkin.

Ah yes, and your discussion of gays and tits has contributed immensely to the collective IQ of the board.

candymoan · 06.01.2006, 09:20 AM

take me, but spare the new 'un..
