Miss Hepburn Posted April 4, 2010 Posted April 4, 2010 Warning bad image below - read in caution: I know I'm new here and all ---but shouldn't there be a separate area for topics like this rather than this general Debate area?? I will forcibly, with God's help, get the image that came into my mind just reading the Topic Title. I'm truly offended. It's not that hard to have a Marriage Discussion area ----I would never be going there- I'll tell you THAT! My opinion - the moderators should have edited the "m" word. I don't need to be seeing that as I don't need to be having a tortured dog flashed with no warning on a news report. ( See? Try getting that image out of your head now.) I offended someone to make my point. Thus the warning at the top. Sorry. [img]http://www.phatmass.com/phorum/public/style_emoticons/default/ohno.gif[/img] Miss Hepburn

Miss Hepburn Posted April 4, 2010 Posted April 4, 2010 Pretty hard to avoid in a Topic in General Debate? Aren't there 15 year old girls here? My daughter wouldn't be coming here any longer if I saw that topic heading wasn't edited or modified. Separate Marriage section was all I was suggesting. Here's my next topic heading, see what you think -should this be modified by a moderator on a Christian Forum? "I just kicked my dog in the head and his eye is hanging out - is that a sin?" I mean come on... as a heading? It has nothing to do with maturity - it's common sense to me --some topic headings could be edited. As in : "I'm having a marriage question - Sexual issue..." What's wrong w/ that? Not: "Is it ok to ____ my partner up the ____ after performing ____?" Words left in as they were in the topic of discussion. Not as a topic heading for anyone to see!! Come on, sisters anyone with me here? Just a separate section so needed questions could be asked by married couples. Is that so wrong?

Thy Geekdom Come Posted April 5, 2010 Author Posted April 5, 2010 While certain words are, regrettably, prone to giving us bad mental images, the topics nonetheless need to be addressed and we can't shrink from the task. If anything, the word in the title warns would-be readers not to go further if they feel they will be scandalized. "Masturbation" is found in the Catechism of the Catholic Church. If the bishops feel the need to address it and to use the term, so should we.
Miss Hepburn Posted April 5, 2010 Posted April 5, 2010 Hi, Btw, I haven't read one word on this thread - the "mm" was enough for me! I would like to repeat - all I was asking about was a separate area called Marriage Questions. Well, and actually modifying titles, wasn't I? Ha! I'm dropping it. I'm in the minority, you all win. I don't want to be some activist here to change how things are run. I'll toughen up, hoping some youngster here isn't also shocked. I'm cancellng any notificaton of replies to this thread...carry on! Sorry I'm so sensitive. Miss Hepburn
