Something that has been bothering me

And, Pops, remembering that I love you! Not everyone has the same definition of inappropriate as you do. I don't find the things we joke about, especially in the weekly Thursday threads inappropriate, or offensive. We just have different measuring sticks.

I really think those things that people find offensive shouldn't be read by those people so offended. Stay out of Bar on Thursdays, if you see something you find offensive, then, leave the thread immediately.

Catapault, I love you too! You know, I don't think *most* things in the dog house are offensive at all. Just some, occasionally, some posts, make me gag. Its not too often, and its definitely not your posts.......not most peoples', but occasionally, I think people do post things that shouldn't be on this site, IMHO.

I don't think there's any problem with discussing religion, politics, things that bother us, etc. Such things shouldn't be offensive to kids...........it increases their knowledge. I know people really don't say sexually vulgar things here, not really...........not something that's really exposing and wrong just at sight of the post...........at least I haven't noticed, but alcohol is talked of a lot, and I usually avoid those threads. Its not like I can't come to PT without seeing those threads...........I avoid them, because I don't like alcohol, but I do think some go overboard at times.

But I understood Aly's point more as pointing out the language that's occasionally used. I don't know how right I am on that, but that's what I understood.

I have seen things..............pics, that *I* find offensive on other boards *Dog General/General*, again very rarely, only once or twice. I don't even remember who posted this and when, but I remember someone cropping a pic of their pet with a lady in a very exposing bikini............I know it was a joke, but I didn't like that. It was so gross.......it hurt my eyes. He he he he. I don't like seeing pics of people in exposing clothes, and I know most people of PT are very decent, because we've had discussions, about people in nasty clothes, and almost everyone agreed that its gross. Those are the things I'm *more* offended by, especially when you're not expecting it from the title.
