I was reading the blog posted by HQ and to elaborate on any of my comments I decided to make this instead of filling the pages with lengthy rants.


I do not believe in censorship. I think people can decide for themselves what they should and should not see. In the case of children, parents need to step up and decide what they want their kids to see. Parental controls were made for a reason, USE THEM!!! While I know parents cannot be with their kids 24/7 and cannot always control this. It's OKAY!! One day of them seeing some boobs on TV will not kill them. Kids need to see what they can get away with. Honestly, if you have parental controls in place, they wont be able to watch or see those things, even while you are away.

Personally, I don't think children should be kept from some things. Granted, yes, I don't want my 6 yr old watching porn, but seeing a naked body is not harmful. If children weren't being so sheltered from everything deemed "harmful" they would not be so overly sexual when they become teenagers. Look at it this way...(I'm going to use males as an example because they are typically more sexual than females)

Say, you have a young boy. He is introduced to nudity while he is young. Much like the work of :iconstyush: (Her work is beautiful by the way) Her children are being introduced to the naked body early. So they will (more than likely) not be as curious when they get older. Plus they will have learned it is something to be respected, not used like an object. I digress, a young boy that has grown up in the same type of household will learn to respect women. He will not wonder what a naked woman looks like, he will know. Since males are naturally more sexual, he will still be curious, of course. But he will know he doesn't need to hump every female he meets. He will have more respect for them and will be able to look beyond the physical attraction and possibly get to know the girl. (Obviously nothing is 100% certain, but hear me out)

Now..

You have a teenage boy, he has been sheltered from nudity his whole life. He secretly watched or looked at porn (maybe) and knew it was bad. He obviously knows what a naked woman looks like, but his only reference to that has been pornography. He sees females in (sometimes) degrading and awful ways. There isn't much beauty in porn. Unless it's one of those lovers videos on how to have better sex or whatever, but that's different. Anyways...he sees all these things and learns these things from porn. So now he looks at females with a biased and unfair opinion. He thinks every female is the same way or likes the same things. Who knows what he has watched or learned. Teenagers are strange when it comes to right and wrong, unless something has been continuously taught to them. He's been taught that self gratification is bad and that porn is evil. What kind of message is that to send?


How can you expect teenagers to stay away from something we all know feels good and we were made to do it?  If they are well informed, they will understand why it's better to wait until you are older. And I don't mean sex ed in 9th grade. That's a bit late to teach it in my opinion.  They should be taught early enough so that when they get to high school sex ed they are not shocked. I think that would be the appropriate time to go into detail about VD's and birth and all the fun (I use that sarcastically) things that come with having sex.

Things are much different now then they were 40 years ago. What worked then (sheltering) is NOT working now, it's doing quite the opposite. It's like being told "don't touch that" and you WANT to because of it. Like some little gnome is saying "DO IT DO IT DO IT!!" You want to find out WHY you cant. So these kids seek out any sort of sex related things to find out why they aren't supposed to do it. They look at porn first. They see both people (or more) are enjoying it, so then they wonder..."WTF?" Then they try it and find out it does feel good, so why the hell weren't they allowed to do it? At this point, they know nothing about the consequences. They haven't been taught babies come from sex, they may have an idea, but they don't know EXACTLY how babies are made unless they have been taught.

Parents can't ignore the fact that kids are kind of being forced to grow up faster. Not just with sex, but everything. I see 12 year olds riding their bike talking on a cell phone....WTF is that about? Why the hell does a 12 year old have a phone? That's just crazy to me. I'd hope if they are going to a friends house, their parents know how to get a hold of them there. They are being prepped for college before they are out of elementary school. They are being taught things, in depth, that are confusing enough for adults let alone a 6-10 year old. We, as parents, need to step up and teach our kids at least the basics when they are young so they are not dumbfounded when they get to the hormonal stage.

I hope this all made sense....

I was just looking up photos of Marilyn Monroe and I honestly wish that modeling would go back to her standard. She was classy and beautiful where as a lot of the models now do not look healthy or beautiful. Yes, skinny can be beautiful if your particular frame is meant for it. Skinny on the wrong person can look very icky. There are still some full figured women out there that model, but typically you look at a magazine or whatever and the model has been photoshopped, airbrushed and starved to look "perfect" I'd rather see Queen Latifa on the cover of something rather than some twit who purges to fit the standard of beauty.

Am I the only one who thinks there are some strange people on this site? I was randomly browsing and I see some odd fetishes....kinda creepy too...like fav.me/d40lpga (be sure to look at the comments....I'm scared. If these are kids...WOAH!! and if they are adults I am even more scared.....) WTF is with cartoon characters peeing on eachother or themselves??? I don't understand that for real people let alone a KIDS cartoon....There is also fav.me/da6xqs <<huh??  I sorta get boobs...but wtf? It's cool people have certain fetishes but things like this creep me out (sorry if I offend) but I think there has to be something wrong with someone to like something like those SO much they become obsessed. Idk....besides that I am getting annoyed by the insane amounts of nekkidness....I am all for Tasteful ARTISTIC nudity but really....there is so much here that is not tasteful nor artistic. Sometimes I think people just draw boobs on things for the sake of drawing boobs. Some have amazing talent, yes, but I do not see it as tasteful. I may even fave some of these things, but I am basing that fave on the talent of the pic not what the pic is. Am I a hypocrite for that? I'd think not, but people have their own opinions on hypocrisy. (which I just looked in my favvs and didnt find anything to make me a hypocrite..lol) Anywho...things like fav.me/d4ejoed <art  fav.me/d3iuxe3 < a little excessive but art nonetheless
fav.me/d3kxkm2 < definitely art

fav.me/d4egigi I see nothing tasteful or artistic in that.....at all....

ok  im done......

Oooh So Taboo

So I know four things you are never supposed to debate with people are; Politics, Abortion, Religion and more recently homosexuality...Sometimes I just cannot help myself. (and I will probably kick myself in the ass later for posting this on here) Anyway...

My favorite person to debate with is my mother, she is the typical political person who agrees with a politician who's standpoint is not always "popular". She and I always butt heads because I never sway from my standpoint and she is always swaying from hers. So...tonight, she was watching Fox News (as always before work) and Herman Cain was on and they were pointing out how he is always contradicting himself. I made a simple comment about it, "That guy sounds like an idiot"...that sparked a good debate. His statement on one show was "In the case of rape or incest it should be the woman's choice to abort." on the next show he said "I am ALWAYS, ALWAYS ALWAYS pro life. Abortion should never be legal in the US" (slight paraphrase there) In my opinion those two statements do not match up. You cannot be pro life and pro choice at the same time. That's what my "idiot" statement was about. (I am always pro choice, I could never have an abortion, but I would never judge someone else if they did) Anyway, so my mother rants on and on that abortion should never be legal, it's "genocide", it would make us no better than all those countries we help, yadda, yadda. So I say, "So you'd rather a mother bring a child into the world she does not want but is FORCED to keep, so she can mistreat (in most cases, not all) the kid? You'd rather the child go up for adoption, which in a lot of cases they don't get adopted right away (unless infants) and end up spending most of their life in an orphanage or foster home where they end up more screwed up because they think no one wants them? You'd rather have that? Or have the mother go get an illegal abortion and get arrested because SHE knows she cannot support the baby? That's fucked up" She was not happy and basically ended up repeating herself that it's "never okay to get one" blah blah...Then we moved on the Plan B (the morning after pill). I worked in a pharmacy for almost 10 years and sold A LOT of them to girls. I was not comfortable selling them at first but I had a talk with the Pharmacist about it (whom I trust with more medical advice than my doctor) Most people think Plan B is an "abortion pill", they are wrong. He told me, it's a high dose of normal birth control (I'm assuming you all know what birth control does). Plan B rapidly elevates a females hormones enough to PREVENT, not TERMINATE pregnancy. It will NOT terminate an existing pregnancy, it would be like taking a few pills before you knew you were preggo. That's why it's called the morning after...you take it as the name states...you wake up and have an "OH shit" moment or you were raped or whatever the circumstances are. So after I explain that to her she says "Well I don't believe that..." I was a little dumbfounded but w/e..so I say "Soo...you have never worked in a pharmacy or even know what half of YOUR pills do and you are going to argue with me when I asked a RPh what it does and how it works?" She had no comment...WIN!!!!  Okay...I just had to share that...please don't take offense to any of this.

I love a good debate so if ya'll wanna yell at me, go for it. Just don't get mad about it please. A debate is never fun when you get pissed, it just gets cruel. I will debate the above topics (excluding politics because I really don't care for it, unless it mixes with one of the other topics)

Cheers!!

Does anyone on here make money from selling their prints? Just curious. I really don't see anyone wanting to pay money for my stuff, but you never know. I'm always looking into selling my work (not drawings or anything) like earrings and other creative things I make. I just don't see anyone WANTING it lol. I'd love to sell tattoo flash, but with the MASS amount available for free in shops or the net I don't see that being profitable. IDK...I just would really like to find something I can do at home and make a decent amount. My fiance works and I am home with the kids but sometimes I feel like I should be working too because we struggle so much. Ahh.....gotta love stress.............gr
