Cloister or Nunnery?
Again, I will reiterate, this is a Yorkie Forum, not an adult Forum, nor a hunting and gun Forum.
Perhaps you got lost along the way????

We all have lives outside of yorkies that we like to share. A lot of us have made friends here and seek advice from them too.

That's why we have the off topic forum. To discuss other subjects.

As well as what they watch on the TV, there are certain channels/programs that are locked.

We have had kids on here, usually their interest is in the Breeding section, waiting for the birth of puppies, or in the Nursery Section. Most are more interested in grooming, training, feeding and in general sharing their yorkie stories.

We have had a couple of kids here that have created havoc; giving incorrect breeding advice.....those kids have been recognized for who they are and brought to light.

I agree. My niece & nephews use computers in the public rooms in their homes. They do not have them behind closed doors in their bedrooms.
Parents should be monitoring what their kids are watching on tv, looking at on the internet, etc..

I myself am having difficulty with infringing on my rights. The right to freedom of speech, eat the food I want at resturants without having my seasoning taken away. Controlling fast food places on what oil to use, etc. Geez isn't that what eating at fast food is about. As long as I'm not cursing at people or killing them, am respectable and not asking anyone to pay my bills.....

This reminds me of the tv show "Married with Children" there was this wealthy housewife who campaigned & tried to get people to boycott this show because she didn't agree with the content of it, in case her kids turned it on.
That always bothered me. I love children, I love my niece & nephews, but I don't think everything has to be "kid" friendly or designed for them.
Sometimes we just have to agree to disagree.
I don't agree with a lot of things that I see, hear, etc..., but that doesn't mean I should tell others not to watch, listen, believe, etc.

I have had computers in my home for about 15 yrs and when my kids were young they were monitored in our family room. If something was inappropriate I would know it. There are way worse things that kids can get into on plenty of other sites then a few jokes on YT about SEX It's not just the few people who are getting a finger pointed at them that have made jokes on this forum with a sexual nature. Not that long ago I found a very funny thread about a Yorkie with a full erection. Some of the comments on that thread were NOT "G" rated and the picture of the little guy was Excuse me if I am not correct but don't member need to be over 14 yrs old? My daughter is 14 going on 15 and would be totally uninterested in what a bunch of "old" women are talking about.

There are sexual innuendos all over TV going back years. When I was a kid I didn't get half of what was doing said on the Flintstones but when I got older-yep the cartoon was full of them. Making a few jokes is not over the line IMHO.

First, I completely understand the concept of being concerned with what our children are able to see on the internet. My 6 y.o. niece, who I have A LOT, loves to use the computer and YouTube is one of her favorite sites, AFV episodes. This is why she ONLY uses the laptop when I am in the same room with her. I feel it is MY job to monitor what she sees, not moderators of the websites.
As many have said Off Topic Discussions means just that, off topic. The description says -For non-Yorkie discussions. I have not read the thread that has been referred to in this one, but I GUARANTEE the YT off topic discussion fourm is not the most "adult" rated site out there.

OP, I understand your concern, and I can only say if I was a part of a website I felt so uncomfortable with I would not be a part of it. You say this is a Yorkie Forum, and it is, but the off topic section does not apply to Yorkies. That is just how it is.

If Admin thinks we are posting something inappropriate they will adjust the post. Again, this is an open Forum. I really dont think it was nice for you to say you wont ever be friends with someone that has done nothing to you. I am sorry you feel that way and I hope you can get past this and come share some fun and laughter.

[megansmomma]

Here is one of the threads that I was referring to. It not only have a picture but the posts are filled with sexual innuendos and hysterically funny. I suggest that anyone who found the SEX thread offensive get any eyeball full of this picture and all of the comments. If you take a look you will notice it dates back to 2006 .

I for one think shodan has crossed the line so many times its not funny anymore. Hes posted pics of dogs saying they are his and they are of someone elses dogs. He continuously posts the hog killing pics, how many times do we have to see these pics. he posted them back in Feb in a Biewer and Parti thread which had nothing to do with hog killing. Last time I looked at the title of this forum It said YORKIETALK.

If we're really so worried about what young people would see on this forum, then we should be cencuring

How to conduct a breeding.
Posting UTubes on pups been born.....after all isn't the bitch's (yes the word bitch too) vaginal canal visable for all to see.

The bitch nursing pups; yep her teets are visable too.

A discussion went on yesterday, again, about a boys "lipstick" (which I find difficult to stomach, because we aren't using the correct terms, why? do find describing body parts by their correct terms distasteful?), being stuck.

I would think allowing a young person reading those threads a little bit more of a concern.

[manolos mom]

I hope I have not offended anyone and if I did I am sorry.

[ryorkies]

Are you serious? You are going to compare this to what was posted here ?

The OP is speaking about the Marital S-E-X thread.

As far as Steve posting pics of Hogs, if you find them offensive don't read them.
He didn't post a pic of a dog that was his and if someone got their facts straight and visited another forum/list. He was conversing with the owner of a dog that looked like Carlo.

It does appear people do have a vendetta out for Steve. He has apologized on several occassions, but some just don't know how to let it go and it's become a contest to some people. How childish when people feel that because one takes up for a person on a vulnerable day (yes, the BD of the daughter he lost in a car accident 14 years ago), feel it's more about you like him more than you like me.....It's very visible, you don't have to be the sharpest knife in the drawer to see it. No one has bashed this person, as implied on the said thread.
