Obscenity

[andrewducker]

Following the discussion last week of obscenity, it seemed that some people were taking obscene to mean "things that offend me" and others were taking it to mean "Things that are generally considered offensive". So I'm wondering about the differences..

[Poll #162494]

Oh, most of my polls allow anyone to look at the results. If you would be more likely to answer truthfully (or at all) if the results weren't generally visible, let me know.

Oops, you meant me.

I've changed my answer.

Heehee :) It took some thinking to come up with something that wasn't "naked people" because that just seemed like the typical answer. But it's not really true for me, anyway.

Oooh, the new one was a much better choice. Eeks!

[andrewducker]

Eeks is right :->

Ick, too, I expect.

Yeah, have to say I think that's pretty obscene. ;)

[andrewducker]

By which you mean "It makes me go Ick!" or "It shouldn't be allowed."?

By which I meant, "It makes me go Ick!" I haven't thought about it enough to consider whether it should be allowed or not.
