I would agree with you Ron if this were posted in any of the other sections of the forum, but that is the reason why the Off Topic Bar & Grill was created in the first place, and I know you remember this as well as remembering that in order for someone to view these threads, one must ask permission from the moderator or administrator in order to participate, which means that it is NOT open to the public for anyone to view!

I personally thought it was pretty cute... There was never any intent to depict anything close to child pornography in this posting, yet if you feel it's not appropriate to post, then you know where to go and complain! Now don't forget to fill out the HFR before registering your complaint okay??? ;) Here's the form to fill out:

I personally think some of you guys need to relax just a bit with some of your reactions in here! ;)

Btw, if you consider that picture so sensational then, you must not look at much these days to get aroused as much as this picture has! :( :( :( it also has me wondering how someone could even get aroused by that picture unless they were thinking some really darn Wicked Thoughts themselves... So I would leave those thoughts somewhere else other than here if I were you guys for crying out loud!!!

Respectfully or not,

Nah, I was a Black Panther when I was 7.  :-)

I gotta go with Henry on this one.  It's a "closed forum" at this point, like it or not.  And let's face it people humor is supposed to be like art. . . . .in other words what some may find offensive others find hilarious or funny.  I guess it's easier for me to see both sides of it because I've always had a "caustic" sense of humor.  I don't think there is anything funny about racism or having children make obscene gestures BUT in the context they are used in here. . . . .I think it's humorous.  I also find humor in a lot of slanderous things that offend the "politically correct" crowd.  If that makes me a bad person so be it.  I just am insensitive I guess. . . . jokes about my ethnic group(s) do not offend me so therefore I don't think they should offend others when I tell them!!!  I'm an equal oppurtunity A**h**le!!  It's a joke folks, isn't life serious enough without making it worse???  We all need to laugh it has been proven to be therapeutic (prolly spelt dat rong too).  Just my .02

Merry Christmas to everyone and a Happy New Year!!!!

Other than the racist overtones of your photo, they are just memories of thier childhood.
So 10th generation of innocense lost may be a huge overreaction to a kid who got learned how to finger by the MTV and video world.  No?

Why yes there is a bit of an outreach of values going on, or  lack there of.  I know I am guilty also of bad taste and stubborn mindedness.(?)

Just  my take on it anyway, the opinions expressed here in the "Off Topic" forum do tend to go astray.

As someone who is one generation removed from the teachings of William J. Simmons I know a little about racism. To despise one based on color or circumstance is stupid.
I do not like or support the  president because he is black. I dislike and am doing all I can to support failure of his administration because of his ideas.
The same as those who supported and encouraged the failure of GWB
I am afraid in less than 10 years we will see the end of the republic based on this and the prior administration actions and politics.
We at the point where the ones who do not contribute are a larger number than the ones who do and the ones in power are borrowing against the labor of citizens yet born. In the last year, yes the time Barry has been president, the wealth of the top has INCREASED and the wealth of the bottom has decreased. What has changed?
So label me a racist. It does not change the reality.
