yeah - you're right - I frequently get CP mixed up with humor - my bad... I consider myself corrected.

Thanks for sorting out my erroneous ways.

Would I be out of line saying that OcUK seems to have no problem being associated with discrimination against blacks and muslims? This is why I brought this up earlier, if we're going to start deleting pictures that aren't PC then the rest need to go too because this thread is chock-a-block with stuff just as offensive as "jailbait" pictures.

If that's your opinion, but I'd say it was wrong. Some discussion of current events and maybe one or two non-pc jokes is hardly 'chock-a-block'.

Similarly one or two jailbait pictures would have been ignored (providing it's not too near the knuckle) but there were too many, far far too many.

I'm not so sure about that, I don't visit GD and SC much but it's pretty obvious to me that joking (and sometimes not joking) about racism and immigration etc. is pretty much a defining quality of these two forums.

P.S. I edited my post a lot, sorry. I make a habit out of that.

P.P.S. It's not really my opinion either as I don't find any of it truly offensive, I'm just saying that once you start censoring you fall into a trap of having to appease everyone or you look tolerant of certain things.

I had a browse of 4chan the other day after someone mentioned it, and it's the first time in my life that I have felt sick from looking at a website.
There are some sick sick people on there and anyone saying that OCUK are being harsh by removing the pics posted before is quite frankly an idiot, and this is coming from someone who initially thought they were funny.

I don't find water melons offensive - is there some in joke I'm missing?

It's a well-known black stereotype, like fried chicken. I don't get it either so don't ask me.

Oh come off it, you know better than to make snap judgements. You've been here long enough.

SteveOBHave said:
Yeah but in a Next or Littlewoods catalogue they aren't in the context of phwoooor Jail Bait!!!! - Sorry my friend, I can't see the angle.

That is totally true - and quite amusing how you put it!

SteveOBHave said:
Conversely do you think that just because CP is thinly veiled as humor it should be acceptable.

If it is used for humour it puts a different slant on it. This makes the concept of re-evaulating what we associate with child porn acceptable. It does not, however, make child porn itself acceptable.

I agree with you - the racism and pathetic anti Muslim discussion that goes on in this forum is IMO disgusting and a clear reflection on the ignorant nature of many of the members. That sort of 'discussion' should be equally responsibly policed with the proviso that a freedom of rational educated argument is supported.

In my opinion I can't see any way that there could be acceptable discussion regarding CP.

Can we please refrain from Debating the rites and wrongs of posting JB and other potentially offensive images in a thread in a 'FAMILY FORUM'... this is supposed to be a 'Random Images' thread not a 'Lets debate weather 4Chan is good or not?!?' thread!..

Lets get back to some randomness and leave the bickering for another forum!..

We don't want this thread 'Closed' down!... I've spent a lot of my time (sad ain't it) in here to pass my mundane lunch brakes a little less painfully!.. and its turning into free for all bitchfest!!.. :mad:

Anyhew!... Back to the Randomness..

As far as I was aware the term 'family forum' meant we discuss things in a reasoned and inoffensive manner, not that we avoid adult topics.

Those images are hardly random for a computing forum...

No it means that we post unsuitable content and then have an argument about why it was removed and was it even unsuitable in the first place.

That's a rubbish argument.

LOl, you say one argument is rubbish, yet fail to explain yourself.

I dont come on here to debate stuff (hence low post count) i come here to look at the funny images, laugh at the jokes and read the various spam. The whole political correctness is "out of whack",

You're right, it doesn't mean we avoid adult topics but that doesn't mean we discuss it in a pictures thread.

No more derailing, people!
