I think woodcarvers are some of the greatest people in the world,but i have to say some of the posts lately have dissappointed me .I have had several of my posts censored for mentioning God or saying something about praying for people,but we can read a whole story about someone smearing crap all over the place or look at penis chairs and vaginas with wings!!C'MON MANN!!What's wrong with this picture?I have directed several young people to this post to learn more about our craft,but i hate the idea of them being exposed to some of that "LOW RENT"stuff.I know i'll probably catch some flack about this but i just don't feel we should act like anything goes!

I guess the question is

Where does censorship stop?

You think its ok to talk about god , and others think its ok to post their art.

From the title of the cock rocker or the flying V you had to have an Idea of what you where going to see? If it offends you.... don't click on.

If you talk about god in all your posts, then those that don't believe, would most likly realize this and stop reading your posts.Which would be their choice. Should your posts have been censored... I don't know, I think probably not.

I think this is opening a can of worms.

Just my thoughts, but who am I?

Stumpy

i think the yellow forum is a little r-rated at times ,but politics,religion,morals are part of the human journey. god did create the body parts that we viewed as art if it,s kept pg then thats ok. and praying for people is great i wish more people prayed for me.

Johnny the devil works in many ways to get his point across. Dont be discouraged, there's a hell of alot more of us the believe there's good to be thankful for then those that dont.
As far as body part art as we have seen, I'd much rather see that then a carving that portrays murder or some such violence. But in saying that i dont believe in censorship ether.
Its really sad though, that in our society movies with blood, guts and mayhem is except able, but the art of love making is not. Hum whats wrong with that picture, we all have made love at least once in our lives.

heres the problem

the internet is/was the last free frontier till corp.earth messed it up now every where you look your going to see something that disturbs you let it be a body part violence pop ups god the devil yata yata yata

its all social programing society dick tats that i should be a fended when i get up in the morning it says that we should be working class heroes if we want to succeed "most full time carvers have given up on being working class heroes" it usto say that we had to believe in god to be a normal citizen of the world now that has been washed away

it bad when social ideas make me feel guilty of being white so if you want censorship remeber that
we fought to have freedom of speech but we lost that in the news since corp.earth owns them now
some day soon we wont be able to shake hands when we see each other in fear of our lives becouse
sosiety deemed that we should use antibacterial soap every day now we are fighting off a supper flu
(once again if you forgot thats because that story has been deemed not to bring in revinews for certain news companys but we are still facing an epidemic still prophets deem what we should see
hear know and do there fore we are being programed from birth

so end the money war at home delete the social programing thats in your head and look at the world
through virgin eyes with out judgment that has been jaded by that program that controls you

i tried to write that with the best English i can if it dosnt make sence then im sorry i tried bigjohn

It will stay. There are plenty of Jesus sites for you to talk about your faith, this is a carving site and I for one like to see carvings here and talk carving.What's the matter with this picture???? Hmmmm.... It's a no brainer to me, Indy sees the devil in his peanut butter. Lets carve stuff and share that. Doc

I agreed with Stumpy's post and thought it was very diplomatic. Doc, however, said most of what I was thinking.
