YN--I think that free speech is great TO A POINT. I checked some boards this afternoon to see the mention of porn many times. Should you take it off? No but please watch where these boards and posts are going. Some boards it might be appropriate while others its pointless and disgusting. Thanks

That is blatantly wrong. Pornography MUST have something to do with sex. The word "****" is not a form or pornography. For that matter, no word is. Here's a definition:
1. sexually explicit material: films, magazines, writings, photographs, or other materials that are sexually explicit and intended to cause sexual arousal
I don't think that when people say "****" they're trying to get aroused.
Also, I've asked you this a thousand times, but you never answer. What makes "cuss words" so bad? Why is a single word so horrible when it's not directed at anyone? Please explain WHY they are bad, you've never really provided a reason.

Yeah, i agree... Some are really abusing it... Well, i guess those who watch porn thinks it is ok to be dirty to their own bodies or something.... And really, if this site is for the freedom of speech, why post up rules at all about keeping it clean??? (Look it up in the Rules of Play) This is so insane... There are rules about it, but many are abusing it and nobody is doing anything to stop it.
I don't think it's out of control at all. YN members are pretty mature about the discussion of porn. How can it not be mentioned? Child pornography exists. Do you want us to ignore this international problem just because pornography is involved?
If you dont like it don't read it... If you dont like to watch people eat guts on fear factor change the channel... Its not hard. Maybe I can draw up something to illustrate how to not look at something.
I spend alot of time on these boards and I never really noticed much talk of porn. And even if there is talk of it, it's not like intense deatails or any pictures of it so what's the harm? I honestly never noticed much talk of porn though.
