George Spellwin, serious question regarding minors in the forum

[samoth]

You would have better luck changing human nature, the internet is unexplored legal territory; The fact you can be anyone further blurs the lines. I was amazed it wasn't an 18 and over site by the terms of service based on the advertised content. It's a US site that is based on illegal drug use and has porno forums(pictures of men/women). Honestly, C&C has been this way since I joined. If you want a high brow forum then membership should be restricted based on academic criteria and clearly enforced; If you have a verifiable Masters then you can join kind of criteria. I don't think anyone on C&C takes it seriously. I don't think I'll change the mind of an evangelical Christian, I just like getting them agitated and watch their arguments..it really makes me laugh!

I think you were missing my point -- I wasn't trying to talk exclusively of EF. I was attempting to make a generalization of the internet and discussion boards in general.

Based on the premises that the internet has and is becoming an integral -- and requireed -- part of of human every day life, and that this includes people of all ages in all walks of life, then the logical conclusion would be to limit certain areas of certain types of discussion -- namely, that which is obscene and not allowed in basically every other area and walk of life.

Tell me this: in what public areas in life can you walk up to a random stranger and tell them to "show your breasts!" and expect absolutely no negative repercussions?

Work? No.
Subway? No.
School? No.
University? No.
Bars? No.
Club? No.
Hey broly, help me out here... I can't think of any?

To answer your question directly, Put in Bay...New Orleans... Women show their boobs on request freely. Which leads me to my next point, the internet is a zone where you can be who you want(like Vegas where everything stays in Vegas). Most of us are more rude than we would be in real life...it's anonymous! It also encourages free discourse so you take the bad with the good.

BTW, there are bars in the Midwest that have wet tee shirt contests which turn into showing boob contests...

Samoth, you're a smart guy and I respect that and your motives but humanity is without redemption.

But they are sponsered events... you cannot, at random, publicly walk up to a complete stranger and say, "show your tits". Period.

There are environmens where it's allowed, but they are specific and catered towards sex -- here, that equivilant would be the sex forum. Not chat, which is a melting pot of everyone from everywhere.

And it's not animosity for those whose who publicise personal information, give out credit card numbers, submit personal information in registration, ad infinitum. It is, indeed, not anonymous -- from the standpoint of a BIGLAW firm on a mission.

Brothabill, that's your cue to make a new thread, lol.

it's only a crime if that persons NOTES she's underage online then men go to visit/contact her.

The danger to EF is their steroid forum and under aged people. This site does allow XXX rated pictures and movies. However, it markets itself based on its steroid forum. A jury could infer reckless behavior by the owners for allowing knowingly underage people access to this information. For the most part we are anonymous, I can't find out your personal info without access to their DB. It's just strange they don't even require being 18 or older for the site...it would serve to limit legal liability for almost no detriment to the site? I've had chicks grab my ass and privates in a bar and I expressed my dislike of their inappropriate advances.....guess what..I'm a guy and chicks don't get thrown out of bars for grabbing a guys ass...Regardless, a lot of nasty shit occurs in public...I fucked a girl in a bar once..right on the dance floor...

There's more to this story than that, and it comes from the lack of animosity on the internet.
