:> #1 "Teats" is still commonly used in the agricultural community, particularly
dairy production,
:> when speaking in mixed company. It's just the civil &:courteous thing to do.
:
:Interesting. I didn't know that. Mammalian glands on humans have names
:derived from the corresponding glands in other species in many languages, I
:think. More or less honourable...
:
:> #2 It would be appropriate, especially in a group of mixed world views, not to
place links to such
:> material in PDML. Many of us have enough trouble keeping porn out of the house
without it
:> being handed to us. (Yes, this is porn because of its clearly sensual content.)
:
:It would also be appropriate not to demand of everyone to look upon sensual
:content as porn. I, for one, differ strongly between the two.
I made no demand; just presented a term with an understood definition.
But I also cannot present my point by sacrificing my world view.
It's easy to obfuscate between "art" and "pornography", missing the point that
pornography is the nature of content and art is, generally, the character in which
content is presented.
:> #3 Your title and clearly sensual composition have absolutely nothing to do with
the Biblical
:> account. This is a patent insult to those of Judeo-Christian heritage because it
alters the
:> story from on of sin (which would lead to redemption) and makes it a display of
mere sensuality.
:
:The process of biblical sayings diverging from it's original meaning started
:centuries ago. It's a natural process.
:Also, I don't see how you can take it upon yourself to speak for me with
:regards to the insult part. I'm certainly of Judeo-christian heritage and
:don't feel insulted at all.
But, to those who hold to the content of the Bible as truthful and trustworthy, it is.
:> #5. Don't keep confusing Puritan morality with the rest of Christianity.
:> That usage is nothing more than a perjorative.
:
:Sorry, Collin, but I don't think your post made things better in that
:respect. Coming from circles of a living faith, I see your point, but I
:don't think the message goes home. Personally, I'd say you come across as an
:angry member of List Police.
My only goal is to keep porn out of my house.
:With the anger peeled away I respect your stance, even if I don't agree with
:your view of this particular case.
:
:Best,
:Jostein
Collin
