How do you become offended by something you do not read?

Some people are offended by what they do not read simply because they know it's out there, mocking their sensibilities.

So we should throw out all previous moral codes, and institute a new one, where you decide whether something should be allowed based on whether it offends you???

How about, and instead of that, items that deteriorate other people into objects be deleted?

I don't know, there's more to it than that, but I think your comment of "So we should throw out all previous moral codes, and institute a new one, where you decide whether something should be allowed based on whether it offends you???" was rather unbecoming of an authority, but then again, this is the 21st century...

...blunt, certainly, but an accurate representation of the point-of-view slowmutant expressed.

Edited, because I thought I was responding to slowmutant, and not to iamnotaparakeet. My apologies to both of you. :oops:

Has what constitutes XXX talk been defined yet? is there a specific word list or certain phrases that have a xxx rating. Even the F word is now common on television so that one can't be on the list. One persons smut is anothers prose. I think henry Miller said something like that.

I think it should be limited. It's only allowed in the adult section, but I think some people shouldn't go overboard on it. You don't need to use the dirty word for every part of the body, and you can get your point across without being obscene.

what dirty word actually?

So you expect to have people in an adult forum talk about sex saying things like "peewee" and "majumbo"?

I suppose it that's the only vocabulary you have, then you will have to make that suffice.

Why you would need to be in the adult forum, to discuss a character from a children's program, I'm unsure, and the only meaning I can find for "majumbo" is an African orgy, which you can discuss anywhere, provided you do not become overly graphic in your description.

Yes, this is the 21st century, supposedly, by now, people should not feel offended by adult topics, right?

lau, one question, did you legitimately miss the point so badly or is it sarcasm?

You were sarcastic, yes.

You asked ShadesOfMe "what dirty word actually?", which was sarcasm, I believe.

You followed that with what I also took to be a sarcastic comment where you suggest that there were no words other than offensive terms, or some sort of "baby talk", available to you.

If you feel you were making a point, yes, it was lost on me.

Yes, it seems you legitimately missed the point.

I don't understand your post... has someone asked you to talk about your new boyfriend?

No one says "Peewee" and "Majumbo" That is absolutely ridiculous. There is an in between. It doesn't have to be all graphic or all what I assume was supposed to be baby talk. Why not call them what they are named? A Vagina is not a "majumbo" and i'm not sure why anyone would label it as such, even speaking to a child.
