I don't know, I never understood that superstition either.

Hey now, you aren't the schoolgirl that once privately emailed me 
telling me I ought to be ashamed about putting a nude posting in a 
alt.ascii-art are you?  

Whatever, I strongly suspect that you are still at school?  Right?


Unfortunately Usenet newsgroups are an adult medium and literally 
anything can appear here in language or images...desirable or not.
In unmoderated newsgroups, like this one, anyone can post anything at
any time...but...there can be consequences!

With postings you don't like you have to quickly close your eyes and
then skip along to the next one you choose to read.

Now then...

Why is it that kids shouldn't see naked people?

Yes, but the whole point of this thread is that it was originated 
by Sarah Day, apparently a child who is using this newsgroup 
unsupervised. 

It was Sarah Day herself who asked people NOT to post swear 
works or nudes in this newsgroup..."because little kids might be 
reading it".

Have you read this entire thread?

 No, I can't actually  (well, they should spend some evenings
 doing sex instead of just watching it, but apart from that...)

Yes I don't consider asciidrawedpictures porn but. But if it's naked
girls drawed or fotos everywere u looks don't you think they start to
think that porn is a normal thing to look at.
but, ok, I dont think this is a very big problem... that's why i said
" but that is the only problem i can c so far"

well... bye ;]

Well for all you mindlost souls out there...  Look if someone is dumb
enough to let their young children look through news groups obviously they
don't have any morals...  And should start to think about not letting
their children be educated by TV either... 

If your not going to be a good parent then you will get what you neglect.
The web and news groups is the same as the world.  It aint pretty and
the perverts have a right to do what they want because we live in a free
society.  

I would think one should be more concerned with what one lets into his/her
own mind then that of others.

Since when is seeing naked people the same as watching porn???

*all* newgroups are public except, for example, groups internal to a

Beats me! It's perfectly reasonable to see someone shot dead in a film,
yet two people making love is considered offensive. Someone care to
explain that?

Porn?

Pauses.

The actual description of porn would be more graphic than the pictures that are
posted here.

It isn't porn, it's the artwork of the people posting, unless they are just
posting nudes for the heck of it.

Congrats VK! You are a porn star! :o)


It`s really up to the parents of kids to dissalow them from viewing
newsgroups... They are an open media (especially unmoderated ones).
The internal newsgroups at my isp have a self imposed no swearing/porn policy...
which we all agree and abide by, of course this is harder in a group such as
this which is available to almost everyone who is on the net!
