Yeah, they were censored by a stranger after the parents sent them in. Are they bad parents?? I don't think so.
And I bet a pedophile can un-blur them in their mind.

It's not about them being bad parents, as I tried to explain before. It's about all the goddamn perverts in this world. The parents are probably innocently sending in their video tape without realizing that it's exactly what some pervs are waiting for.

Why are you apoligizing for asking a question? You asked me and I said NO I WOULD NOT!

She replied..... I repeat..I WOULD HAVE NAKED PICS OF MY KIDS ON THE WEB. ITS ONLY A PICTURE!

What the hell did she expect? was going to follow that:bugeye:

Well, I'm still not agreeing with her on this subject, but maybe we should continue the discussing without getting too personal. We don't want this thread to end in name-calling, right ?
 
Thanks for the Warning Avatar.........I see the insults towards me, don't count as usual.

EDIT: Actually I see SAM did get one for her comments! finally

Listen to Enmos and discuss without getting personal.
 
well, I guess my stand on it is, I don't understand. I have never understood the mindset of prudish people but I'm now seeing it and it makes me sad. This isn't considered porn, but this person thought it was so offensive they took action. (a federal offense??). Doesn't that say more of the midset of the person who is offended than the person who made the picture?

The U.S. Postal Service stirred up quite a controversy when, in 1996, it decided ot issue a Christmas stamp featuring a painting of the Madonna and Child, reproducing a 1712 painting by Italian artist Paolo de Matteis, which showed the baby Jesus's penis.
The controversy was described in detail in the authoritative Stamp Magazine, Linn's, in both their print and online versions. The story has since disappeared from the online report.

The original story was by columnist Peter Rexford, in the Washington Post. He reported that a postal employee, apparently embarrassed by an antomically explicit baby, airbrushed the figure into an asexual being. In time the postal authorities came to their senses and undid this assault on the original work of art.

Hmm I still think you don't quite get my point. I am not saying that there is something wrong with the parents for taking the picture (although that heavily depends on the nature of that picture) or that there is something inherently wrong about posting it on the internet. What I am trying to say is that parents should be weary of the sicko's that use that very same medium to get their 'dirt'.
 
Orleander,
Thanks for the Pm you sent with the big smiley face for the warning I received.
I am glad it makes you so happy. You are more disturbed then I ever thought.

How old are you again? :shrug:

YOU are wasting your time. She just doesn't get it, and NEVER will.

I agree. Just because I would post it on the internet doesn't mean I would be lackadaisical about where.

As far as I know, most any pictures you post can be copied. And if so, pictures of your kids could be copied and pasted onto a porno website. How would you like that?

To you, yes. But to the person in the picture or to the mother of the person in the picture, I'd think that finding it on a porno site might not be so happily received.

I already asked her this question Baron. She said it's no big deal it's JUST A PICTURE:bugeye:
 
Tiassa said:
Yeah. Whatever you say. There is no artistic value to photographs that evoke strong emotional responses from viewers.

Tell you what: go rifle various archives, paper your walls with images like the ones I posted, or like Draqon responded with.

I guess anything can be art to someone, but I don't think anyone thought the OP meant artistic in that way. Have any example with a nude child and a photography studio?

So if children wear clothes, pedophiles will be cured?:p
