Absolutely. It is, with child abuse, a major problem in society. You do not of course have to participate. There are rules and guidelines. If an inappropriate topic is raised or if a thread goes "bad" the mods can and will deal with it.

This is the Off Topic board. If you don't like it, don't read it.

I don't think there is really any topic that is inappropriate. Child abuse, child pornography, etc. those are all major and terrible problems that probably should be discussed more, not less.

As you may have noticed the title of this forum is "off-topic". It is for the discussion of non-Porsche topics. The exchange of news, views, opinions, humour, questions etc. and discussion thereof. It's what intelligent, cultured people do

I think we're being trolled.

Wouldn't be the first time!

I can appreciate your concern trentwat, but as you see any aberrations and freaks are welcome here.

As long as they are not nude - Gawd forbid!

nude is cool, as long as they are not all saggy and droopy in the wrong areas, even if wrinkled adversely, you spare the pictures and it is still all good

Yes it does belong here, that's what it's for. It's "introduction" is nothing new; far older than you (or I) to this BBS. If it really is a concern, stear clear of OT.

Hmmm....child porn. I can't say I've ever really thought a lot about it, but I see no harm in debating it. After thinking a bit, I think my initial response is that I'm against it. Sure, it's taboo, and lots of people like things that are taboo, especially when it's tastefully done but it is illegal. So, on ballance, I say, child porn: I'm against it. So Trent, tell us, why are you in favor of child porn?

I've thought about it as well and I am also against child porn.

Now, a woman of legal age in a girl's private school plaid skirt and pigtails . . .

Best,

The religious folks on OT bother me more than is rational.

note that I believe in God and the Gospels (most of the rest of the Bible I consider pulp fiction), but organized religion is probably the greatest evil Man has ever wrought.

I used to try to get my wife to dress in a Girl Scout Uniform and tell me she was 18. Never has worked. But, that wouldn't be child porn. Just a little different.

The age of consent in Minnesota is 16. Just stating a point of law. If anyone's interested.
