This person who started this Thread should be BANNED!!!! :rolleyes: :p :cool:
Seems more to me like we just taught the person who started this thread to become another forum addict who can safely surf at work!

Should a woman in a swimsuit be banned?

Good, we agree, then.. People should not be posting pictures of nude women on a pool forum.

No, I do not believe we need to start banning pictures of women in swimsuits. Depending on what sort of swimsuit, tho. A backshot of a "flossy" bikini, without nothing but a single string going up a woman's hind crack, I think is REALLY PUSHING the limits.

I personally have no problem with the Brazilian volleyball girls avatar, but when at work, I do not linger too long on the posts with that avatar in it, lest I draw too much attention from coworkers.

Nude women, though.. They don't belong on this forum... This is not a soft core porn site. I appreciate the female form, certainly.. But I say, if you can't normally see it out in public, then you should not be putting up a picture of it here.

what you don't understand

What you don't understand or refuse to acknowledge is that something doesn't have to be porn or even sexual content to be an issue in the workplace. The guys that have an issue aren't necessarily surfing without permission either, many jobsites have no problem with their workers on the net. However, many of the avatars on here, the signature images, and some of the images included in posts, are at the least sexist in nature. That is all it takes to constitute sexual harassment. Show two women mudwrestling in eskimo suits and it could be sexual harassment because the women are shown in a manner that a female coworker could consider demeaning, nothing to do with porn or even suggestive material. Some of the text in this thread could be considered sexual harassment. Welcome to 2008 or 1984.

Just like the whiz quizzes you mention that I put up with in the later years on a job site, being PC is a part of working many if not most places. I think whiz quizzes are an invasion of privacy and I also think that if they are instituted everyone on site from the CEO on down should be equally subject to them. However the executives don't share my opinion so they can snort coke at lunch and in the evening with no fear of being tested then make decisions involving the lives of everyone for miles around.

Here is my point which apparently a lot of people don't understand. A girl in a swimsuit is not porn or sexual content, if that was the case public swimming pools would be illegal. Karen Corr playing pool also is not porn or sexual content.

I understand that some people could get fired for looking at this stuff which is why before I retired after 34 years with the same company, I never surfed the internet at work. We also had to take random drug tests where I worked. If you wanted to work there it was a good idea to stay off drugs. If you want to surf the internet at work then you are assuming the risk of being caught. It's not the internet's fault, it is your fault. It is asinine to make everybody else comply with the rules of your workplace when we don't work there.

As Much as i want to check the forum and reading threads it's hard for me to read all and scroll the pages due to Inappropriate pictures of AVATAR especially I'm at work. Hope that the MOD will do something about it...just my opinion guys.


It is called change, and you will get use to change. I too hate change, but now have a change holder...;)
 
You guys would love some of the billboards around continental Europe. :rolleyes:

You and I agree but it looks like few others do. Click on the link I posted, that girl isn't even in a bikini, it is a one piece swimsuit and yet people complained.

My avatar is the three stooges. Should I remove it because somebody's boss might not be a stooges fan? Maybe we should start a thread where everybody who reads the site at work can give us a list of what we are allowed to do.

I guess if people HONESTLY can't tell the difference between the three stooges and a woman bent in half with a pool cue between her legs, there's no point in having a discussion about it.

I wonder if there would have been 3 different threads started on that video if it would have featured a man. :rolleyes: :p
 
What's An avatar

God Bless America,
Land that I love.
Stand beside her and guide her, through the night, with the light from above.
 
I've been trying sooooo hard to find a photo of a half-naked man on a pool table to use as my avatar! I'd love to see the reaction that would get around here... I'm sure you guys would just love it! (since that is so acceptable around here)

OK, help me... someone get naked!!! (cough, cough...sorry, i meant "half" naked)

I'm posting nekkid.... and eatting hot buttered corn on the cob and the butter is drooling everywhere and I don't have a napkin.
 
Turn off the avatars or don't read this forum at work. Nobody makes you read the forum or look at the avatars. Good grief!!!
