I'm not going to, but I still don't want to see it even created.

Tass: I really don't see why you're making such a huge deal out of this. If a woman is attractive, I don't see the problem with complimenting her on it. Cos, see, women like to be complimented, even if it's in a rather superficial manner ("Wow, you're really pretty").

If all this thread is going to be is you mofos posting pictures of women you find attractive, then what's the freaking problem? There's absolutely nothing wrong with finding a woman physically attractive and lacking a desire for a relationship.

I fully plan to participate in the thread (<3 Natalie Portman and Shannyn Sossamon). Wouldn't you think if a woman can say she has no problem with it you should lighten up a bit? Good on you for treating women with reverence, but it wouldn't kill you to chill back a bit, especially when it's something as petty as this.

[Nubclear]

For, what, the fourth time?
I highly doubt the Babe Thread is going to be all nice and clean and smilie and compliments.
It's going to show women in very little clothing and women in provocative poses.
Next time, read the thread

I did read the thread, kthx. I will summarize it for you

"Oh hey, this thread was cool, let's do it again"
""
"Blah blah blah revere women blah blah bunch of crap blah blah I need to lighten up"
"Chill back, duder. If you don't like the thread, don't read it"
"Blah blah blah I don't want to see the thread blah blah blah"
"What"
"Read the thread blah blah hurr"

[Skanky Burns]

She fits right in.

Skanky, do you think we're losing our mystique?

She's got our number, certainly.

Comrade Tass,

Your views on the role of sex shows promise, but, the fundamentalist twist to your conclusions are repellent. Makes me wonder if you are not projecting onto others your judgements about yourself. Old Ben is right; you should be able to look at a picture of a woman w/o going into tilt mode. Lighten up a click or three.

Is laurentius the only one who thinks it's time for a few pics in place of less talk??

So, I read through this here thread, and it seems to me that you, Tass, are going a bit overboard.

I mean, I understand the argument about reverence and all that and not only do I see your point, but also I support it to a certain degree. But, at the same time, I see no reason why a Babe Thread would contradict your point of view.

I mean, like Monk up there said, one doesn't necessarily think of sex when one sees a picture of a beautiful woman. To me, a good photo of a person is like art. A good photo of a beautiful person is even more so. Now then, there is no reason why admiring the beauty of a woman would be considered lustful even in your books, like you say.

So, then, your whole argument boils down to this: even though it's not bad, in and of itself, to admire a picture of a woman, that's not going to be what happens in the Babe Thread, as people would post pics of women with scant clothing and whatnot. Unfortunately, I have no reason to say otherwise, for, indeed, some people would try to do just that. But I would like to point you to the last babe thread (well, the last one I ever posted in, maybe there's been more since then, but I remember Mark telling us to not start another, so I imagine not). Now, I know you at least glanced at the contents of that thread, because I remember some of your rants in there. If you remember, there was a set of very strict rules as to what kinds of pictures could or could not be posted. They covered pretty much everything that could potentially make the observation of the picture lustful: scant clothing, covering up with anything other than clothing, etc. And these rules were strictly interpreted and enforced by Ming. In fact, I personally had three or four pictures deleted by him, even though they technically didn't contradict the established written rules at the beginning of the thread, but Ming deemed them to be too much. Now, I don't mind, for I do realize we have a family site going here. But that just goes to show that if the thread were restarted, the mods would take it seriously, and stop any efforts of posting inappropriate pictures.

So, the only reason I see to not allow us to start this thread again, really, is if Ming considers it too much extra work in the OT for him to go through the pics of beautiful women and sort out which ones are appropriate and which are not. (Which sounds stupid, by it would, indeed, be a tough task, I imagine. Last time, there was a pic posted every minute on average at certain times of day, so some mod would have to almost exclusively watch this thread...)

[Nubclear]

the fundamentalist twist to your conclusions are repellent.

Then look past it. I'm not attempting to appeal to a mass-auidence here.

If you remember,

I do not.
If such rules did and will exist, then I also see no problem with this thread.
However...Just a glance into the "New Avatars" thread will reveal pics like this:

If rules are in place to prevent such things from being posted in the Babe Thread, then again I see no problem with it. However if this type of material is in it....

[laurentius]

Bloody Monk: About time. Tass whats wrong with you?

Oh, please... that was only done to get Ixnay's goat. It doesn't qualify as a "babe", so to speak, let alone something worth looking at.

Also consider that these women had their pictures taken: I assume they wanted them to be looked at, for whatever reasons. Case in point:

Laurentius:

You are not the only one, but I want to wait for Markos' decision before posting babe pictures.

Do they necessarily induce lust? That's where I think we differ. According to your previous argument, just a picture of a smiling woman would induce lust.

Sure does... See smiling woman, think fellatio.

Look, you guys babe thread is gonna eat up so much bandwidth that the rest of Poly is gonna run slower and bleed cash. I'm firmly against this for technical reasons and I'm sure Poly admin is as well.

I am increasingly of the opinion that either a) CT has some serious psychological issues (split personality, anyone?) or b) he's trolling us

I lean towards b

EDIT: come to think of it, I don't see how the two are mutually exclusive...

If I'd known how much fun trolling our resident mormon could be, I would've started a long time ago....

Tass, stop trying to impose your Mormon belief system on everyone else.

[laurentius]

Indeed Skywalker

In behalf of myself I will promise to post only women with clothes on, since I dont think flesh is sexy. Boo nakked girls, Yeehaw girls with clothes on!

[Ben Kenobi]

See smiling woman, think fellatio.

Mormons do fellatio?

[Jamski]

Fellatio isn't sex. Its a service.

BTW Tass, you shouldn't wind people up.

/me looks at all the porn on his hard drive that Tass has been sharing for years *
