Controversial Pic of the Week
Stumbled across this one:
and along the same vein:
Somehow I have the feeling it wouldn't be wise to make either of these pics into the background on my Desktop......

..yet it's ok to post them in a forum where they try to be family friendly? Interesting.

I didn't think these particular pics did anything more than let us laugh at how silly male chauvinism is and how far we've come over the last few decades.
But as it's not unusual for someone to misinterpret postings on the net, I'll try very hard not to post any more controversial pics.

I'm a little surprised these posts weren't removed, but on the other hand I guess seeing this stuff is a good thing. This kind of thing is easy to picture 100 or 200 years ago, but this publication only dates from around the time my parents were born.

And don't forget what happened in Europe in the 1940s. All those WWII documetries on TV should be reminding us of a past we never want to see repeated.
If we go further back in time, and not a whole lot further, there was a time when women wern't allowed to vote. If pics of marching Suffragettes were posted, it shouldn't cause anyone a coniption fit any more.
We need to learn from our past so it's not repeated and worry less about what's "politically correct". We need to do the right thing more often, and we can learn the right thing from our past.
But people still see what they want when pics like this are posted. Perhaps it would be best for a Moderator to delete this thread should he/she stumble across it. It would appear that some people arn't ready for them yet.
