Speaking English in America?

And yeah, most of the time I am disgusted from what I hear, but i'd never expect to here it on Pet Talk, I thought you girls knew better.

Thanks Mom. I often enjoy a nice moral lecture on a Saturday afternoon.

Yes, sex is the reason we're here, but sex, male genitals, and dirty jokes about it have nothing to do about speaking English in America. Nor did I expect to read that in here.


And I don't see anyone crying to have it deleted.

Agreed. It went WAY off topic.
"Things" like this shouldn't be on Pet Talk. That's what AIM, Yahoo, or PM's are for.

2kitties- It may have been 'all fun and games' to you, but some people were offended, so it doesn't matter if there are worse things to be offended by. Next time have your little 'chat' using PMs, AIM, yahoo, etc.

This made me think about the email that I had just sent to my brother. I said that I thought we must have gotten the travel bug from my paternal grandmother and double dosed it with the adventures of my maternal grandfather.

It seems as though one of us in the family is always out of the country.

My brother is working in Brazil. He speaks fluently French, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese and can get by in German.

My nephew is going to school in Italy. He speaks Spanish, Portuguese and all of his classes are in Italian - so he is mastering that language now. He was born in the United States.

My other nephew is on a holiday in Panama. He speaks Spanish and Portuguese. He was born in Brazil.

My niece takes advantage of the airmiles my brother racks up so rapidly, and any opportunity to travel to Europe - she's gone.

My adventure this year was to Australia and New Zealand. I can speak a very limited Spanish and also can understand a good deal of Italian. French was my college language and I failed miserably at that language. I could never get the accents.



And Karen, thank you, I personally just hate it when our members feel they have to be so snotty to each other.

Clearly it was "all fun and games" to others besides myself, as I wasn't having a conversation on my own. We were having a good time. The posts are gone now, but if they were still here to evidence themselves, I would challenge any of you to prove to me they were dirty. They were silly fun jokes the women have with one another. Possibly not children, but in my opinion, no one on this site is a child. They may be young adults, but all old enough to know what a penis is and what it does. And old enough to laugh at a joke that can be found in any PG rated movie. I don't know a single woman who is honestly so uptight she can't giggle at a little penis joke.

I don't consider it to be offensive matierial. It would not have been considered pornographic by any court in the land, yet was censored on Pet Talk because a few didn't like it. Well, there are plenty of things in life we don't like.

I really didn't do anything except type that one word. All I was trying to do was get that topic out of my thread. I'm not a prude either and enjoy sexual humor but that's not what this thread was about.

[Dogz]

Let me just say one thing.
It is called Pet Talk for a reason.

[Kfamr]

I doubt if it was acceptable for a family friendly site, that Karen would just delete it. And if it was acceptable, no one would have said anything.

But whatever, daughter, you're right-- everyone else is completely wrong.

Does that mean we can have a sexual humor thread?

So here in the dog house we are only allowed to talk about pets?

I may be the only person here with the stones to put it in writing, but I wasn't the only person having fun with it last night. And I'm getting plenty of pms from people who also had fun with it and agree it was unoffensive material. So, do not assume I am alone in my opinions about this subject.

[Dogz]

I didn't say that, hun. But it is a family/friendly site.

[GoldenRetrLuver]

It doesn't belong in this thread, or on Pet Talk. Like I said, that's what PM's, Yahoo, AIM, etc..are for.

[Kfamr]

But it's obvious it was offensive BECAUSE KAREN DELETED IT.


Geez...

Lets just get back to the subject that's SUPPOSED to be talked about.
