See? It is starting already....you are starting to get upset, and point fingers.....just go to another thread, ignore this one...

[Kfamr]

Nope, not offended at all -- Just stating my opinion ;D
But yes, I do need to stop being lazy and post more Sim & Nala pictures from yesterday.. ;D

As someone who as been the center of many a controversy (like me), you should be careful with your words...

I never said anyone and everyone who drinks is alcoholics or offensive -- But, Alcohol IS. Alcohol is brought up in more than one thread, how am I supposed to know when and where?
And I don't know what will and won't offend me, until I read it.


And about "Where did it go?" - I was confused onto what "it" was. Again, never know if it was offensive to ME or not.

As for staying away from the Dog House(like some have suggested), Not all threads contain alcohol and get "Adult humor" like some of you like to call it.

I suppose I am confused to why you feel alcohol is such an awful thing. Many of-age adults enjoy an alcoholic beverage and manage to stay out of too much trouble. Either way, alcohol is not offensive to everyone and I do not feel it is necessary to sensor it out of the Dog House. I'm hard pressed to to see how anyone could avoid the topic of alcohol in this life anyway, unless you walk around with your eyes closed and your ears plugged all the time. I'm offended by alot of things, but I am able to separate myself when necessary, or simply deal with it.

Cataholic, I do have a brother, but he's only 24. Are you still interested?

Kfamr, please do post more pix of Simba & Nala (in their own thread?). I've told you before that just looking at Simba's face makes me feel good. Not only are your pictures very professional, your "models" make Naomi Campbell look dowdy

Soledad, you rock. I like you- in a completely sober and non-sexual way.

That's exactly why I said you'll never know, unless you're in my shoes, and maybe a few others.

No, I don't think it should be out of the dog house, i don't even pay attention to that thread -- I really don't even know what it's all aobut. But, It does come up and many other threads.

Anyways -- This is PET Talk, right?

Hehe I'm on it right now -- I had them posted last night, but my computer messed up and my post erased.

Yes, this is Pet Talk, and there are 21 forums inside Pet Talk wherein you can talk about Pets to your hearts content. There are 3 forums for talk outside the world of pets. See, something for everyone. So I see no reason for anyone to get offended by anything when there are plenty of places to go to talk about whatever you like.

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.

I believe alcohol (virtual alcohol) has been discussed only in the Dog House.

If I am wrong, please I welcome the correction.

If the word alcohol sends you into a tizzy - then please, please, excuse yourself and go to the other threads.

Edwina's Sec'y, her hubby and several other Euro PetTalker's all met in GERMANY, during OCTOBERFEST and took pictures and talked and laughed and told happy stories about their wonderful fun meeting. They happened to mention beer that they drank while eating and visiting a beer garden. Some people found it - I believe the word was - GROSS. You can't please everybody all the time.............

[Soledad]

The horror....

[momoffuzzyfaces]

EVERYTHING in the world will offend SOMEONE, SOME TIME, SOME WHERE! We could all sit in the corner and never move and SOMEONE SOME WHERE would be offened by that.
