WI, that's somebody's daughter, and you're running her down pretty harshly without even knowing her. You might want to engage the brain in advance of wiggling your fingers on your keyboard. Just my thoughtful 2 cents.

And I'm a lifelong Packers fan so play nice.

It's certainly possible that I read more into his post than he intended.

Wow, an hour of my life that I will never get back there...after slogging through this thread and the other thread that started this thread I have a few observations:

1). Janus and Mule both need the chill the F out. First off, yes Mule got pummeled in the worst possible way in that thread, but Janus' reaction to the stupid gorilla picture was more on the level of the sandbox than the debate podium. Come on, you were seriously threatening legal action because he posted a picture of a gorilla? You had the debate handily won until then. After that is was just a stupid 3rd grade pissing contest.

2). It's even more amazing that the pissing match continues on this thread...not sure what else to say there.

3). WI Wide Body seems to just exist to stir up trouble. I'm not sure what his personal beef with Mule is, in both threads he just piled onto an argument that did not involve him and fan the flames. He's doing the same thing here, and he seriously stepped over the line by disparaging a probably decent girl who is trying to make ends meet tending bar.

4). It is more than just a little creepy that Mule is posting pics of some girl that is easily half (more like 25% maybe) his age. First I thought maybe it was his daughter, then...no that was too creepy. Now it turns out she is just a bartender at a place he frequents...that is possibly just as creepy as if she were his daughter. I wonder if she knows you are posting her image on this board??

Now, back to your usual programming...

I have no idea about the young lady. But if you look at the pictures I seriously doubt she minds the attention. Is it different than grid girls or any other picture posted? And IMO why does age matter? I don't understand what's creepy about it. Look who Anna Nichol was banging. Wait... that WAS creepy!

I don't know if she minds the attention or not. It really doesn't matter. The difference with the Grid Girls (to me anyhow) is that most of those girls are models. They are there with the full knowledge that dirty old men are going to take their pictures and leer at them. This girl, while provocatively dressed, is just trying to tend bar. I see it the same way I see the Girls Gone Wild videos. While I'm sure the maker of that video has statements signed by the drunk girls he films, it doesn't make it any less scuzzy.

With all do respect you don't know she was just trying to tend bar. And even if she was, dressing like that no doubt increases her income capabilties. She looks like a fun person to be around.
If one looks at a pretty woman why are they, (me), a dirty old man? Can't a woman's body, looks, be appreciated without it being a dirty thing? Especially when they dress to be looked at? One person leering is anothers appreciation. Some women enjoy the attention and some don't. I'd venture to say the ones that don't dress a bit more conservatively.
Only the young lady can answer if she's offended by having her pictures on a BB. Any wagers?
Any wagers that she is?

Thanx for your thoughtfulness but you are barking at the wrong dog here. First of all I never said anything about the gal...I was trying to indicate to Mule how stupid it was to try to show his sexual prowess...or whatever he was doing by posting those disgusting pics of an innocent gal being taking advantage of by paying customers of the bar.

Very strange to me that you found nothing wrong with the bozo who posted the pictures of he and the other clowns oogling her ass. Or do you think that they were admiring the fabric in her shorts? Go figure.

Well, to each his own, I tend to try and give people the benefit of the doubt that they wouldn't appreciate being called prostitutes while their pics are posted on the net. Silly me...

Please indicate where I called her a "prostitute" Mr. "to each his own?"

Maybe you don't know much about bars but I do...I ran one outside Chicago for a short time.

I know this may come as a revelation to you but the young good looking girls are not hired for their bartending skills. They are hired so that the knuckleheads like the ones in the pictures will come into the bar and spend money. Gee, what a revolutionary idea huh?

And most of these gals are smart enough to know that if they give the diph!ts who frequent the bar a little flirting or tease by showing some skin that their tips go up proportionally. Again, go figure huh? Did you ever get out in the real world much?

Rick, I agree 110% with you about someone implying she is a working girl.
