Lupo has a cool avatar. It has all the makings of quality, and doesn't express pure sex..a nice looking gal with a nice fishy. She ain't saying.."Look at my hooters..they aren't big and droopy!!

I will apologize for the Metalica comment...didn't mean to slam them..I LIKE Metalica, at times.

This thread is headed for destruction...soon..and I've got work to do. See Y'all.

Doc: The simple fact is that most men are fascinated by breasts American men apparently more so than our European counterparts. Perhaps because Americans are such prudes and make such a big deal out of mammary glands. Whereas in Europe bare breast are no big deal.

Your girls need to know how obsessed we men are with those great gobs of fat. After all as your girls mature they will very likely have boobs and they will be better served if they understand men’s fascination with boobies. I doubt they will harmed by viewing abnormally large bosoms that are covered with tiny bits of cloth. But they will gain a small insight into the psych of men.

P.S.I recently read that our fascination with boobs had a deep evolutionary basis. Some scientists say that Neanderthal man was attracted to women with the largest breast as breast as essentially fat. Women with big breast were fat and healthy, thus the best breeding stock. See, nothing could be more natural.




P.S Sol, I resent that remark about Led Zeppelin. I listened to Metallica all day during the SRD, next time you can listen to the six hour version of In-A-Godda-Da-Vida. Yeah, I know different group but same genre. You can do whatever you want to with boobies, but don't dis my music!

Good points ISO Chrome and Fish Doc. I agree that the little club\clique atmosphere is dragging down this board. And I agree that classless avators and pics are pushing many potential and long term members away.

Perhaps that's what Bob wants for this site. Fine, it's his to do with as he sees fit. But don't kid yourself about 'censorship'. What a load of bull. This is a public board, but is privately owned and if there are policies in place on certain content, the site mods have every right to enforce those policies.

I'm not dissin' Zep, dude. I burned a bit of herb to those guys in my younger days. All I was saying is our dudes thumping across Irag in U.S. tanks pushing the button on rag-head insurgents is jacked on adrenaline and Metalica, not day-dreaming about flower fields, rainbows and Zeplin.

"Let's get ready to rumble".....Nice post Vedder!

This is a real tempest in a teapot. I went to my profile and clicked on "Hide Others Avatars". It worked and took less than 20 seconds. It's like so many censorship issues. if you dont want to see it don't look!

Now I need to go back and turn the avatars back on.

I have been busted by my wife, looking at Sol and Mingos boobs. I just tell her they are pictures of their wives, and used as a status symbol on this site:D . She has hid or destroyed every swimsuit photo we have of her.

"if you dont want to see it don't look!"

Better yet, if you have half a brain, you'll know that if you want porn and T&A there are much more logical places to get it than a fishing forum...

"censorship" - you guys are killing me

Pro boob Republican here.

This is not about censorship..but moreso about a certain level of class and respect for others.

I would not disrespect my wife by sticking a pic of some well endowed broads boobs up as an avatar. A beautiful woman is an awesome thing, and "beautiful" has a lot more to do with WHO she is than what kind of carcass she is attached to.

Dave: "It's like so many censorship issues. if you dont want to see it don't look!"

Ok..so the next time a kid wants to pray out loud in a public school the other kids can just plug their ears. Same difference.

Censorship sucks..but that is not an excuse to go overboard when a bit of lattitude is allowed by moderators, owners,. etc. Censorship happens when, by the actions of a few who go to far, the moderators are FORCED into censoring stuff.

If a poster decides.."Yeah, I could show some CLASS and RESPECT for other people and keep things in perspective.." Well, that ain't censorship..it's called respect for other people.

Off to a biz lunch. Y'all have fun with this.

Seems to me with the lack of weather and therefore lack of fish, everyone is getting a bit cranky.

Everyone to their respective fishing rooms and come out flogging the water for fish, not each other.

Thanks Dave, now I have a good explanation to tell the wife as the reason for my fascination/obsession with breasts besides being a "Perv". (As she so eloquently puts it)

Unfortunately, this reflects my sentiments exactly ISO...many of the posts on this board the last year or so have the air of a private chat room. JMHO of course.

Thanks for stepping up and posting this Doc. I tend to agree with you and ISO on this topic. I really enjoy the heated discussions about fishing related topics and politics, but the forum has taken such a step in the "erotic" direction that I am no longer comfortable reading it at work, even with the avatars turned off.

Cheers!

I feel the same as SteelAddict and others....

Bingo.

The issue here really isn’t about our rights to display or view certain things but rather about the choices we make and whether we care more about our rights than the people our choices affect.

FNP spoke out of a concern and respect for others. Francis, I commend you. Once again you have shown a pure heart and a love for your board brothers.

Merry Christmas, to one and all.

Interestingly, I just did a search on some member numbers and tried to see how many techniques, tips, reports, hints, or even photos they posted.

After hitting the big ZERO, I gave up.

Those that contribute the least like the biatch the most.

:rolleyes:

I'm a party pooper too.
I can't tell the fith graders in the angler education classes to come to this site. :shrug:

You don't recognize Yvonne Munson Stam?
