Actually, that's not by me. A group of us is working on a different petition, but I'd like to keep all details confidential until we're ready to go. Not that I don't support this petition, too...

One more petition can't hurt...

There are Facebook groups with similar agendas. I started one a long time ago with a group of people that called for the WMF to make sure that all pornographic material was given by the subject with proof of a release and age verification.

Online petitions are pathetic, this is a waste of time.

In that case, using message boards to promote an internet petition is quite a double-fail. evilgrin.gif

Your logic stops when people actually start doing something, rather than simply bitching about things on some stupid message board.

It's clear from this thread that this is one thing that happening....and that something else is happening.

You can call it stupid....or you can be part of it.

Your choice, of course....

It can cause confusion, especially when a more organized and more highly-publicized petition comes out on the heels of this one. This petition doesn't even name the sponsor, so it lacks some credibility, in my opinion.

I'm going to wait for Sanger's petition, because when I promote that one on Facebook and Twitter, I don't want my friends and contacts thinking it was the same petition that we see here.

Mod note: Thread title adjusted, to reduce said potential somewhat.

Maybe I can explain things for Mr. Angel's benefit.

He is of course quite free to waste his time on this sort of thing. That is his choice. However, wasting others' time is a different issue. Also, detracting from Dr. Sanger's work, which might just have some chance of being useful, is bad unless he is deliberately trying to do so (which of course I would never suggest).

What we need is less low-quality homebrew porn and more high-quality stuff that could actually be used.

And what someone needs to do is organise a vote on which are the 10 best penis shots (5 flaccid, 5 erect) then delete every other penis pic. Then do the same for female genitalia.

Been proposed before and stated to be anti-German, racist, homophobic, etc. You name it, they claimed it as an excuse to not do such a thing.

No, because that would get in the way of educating people who need to see all the variations in white penii.

Technically, that should be penes. But of course you know that already.

Why all this shilly-shallying around? Why not just say "trouser snakes" or "love truncheons"? You people. And as for all that legalistic stuff and politically-correct warbling all you have to do is require each "staff of power" to sign a declaration that it isn't anti-gay, anti-German or anti-black, and ban the use of colour photography.

16 people believe Wikipedia should stop hosting porn. Meanwhile, about 600 million people took the time to create a Faceborg account.

Where is Sanger's petition?

You need to make a donation ... forget it.

Put one up petitioning against Batman admins and their Boy Robins and I might see my way to a couple of dollars for you.

Since the government (or parts of it) in Iceland has proposed banning online pornography, why don't you forward this proposal to them? What do they think about Wikipedia and the presence of massive quantities of not so tasteful images?

Why do you use a 4.32 MB image as an avatar, other than because you can?
