Hmm, babe threads mean it would be confined to one thread at a time, which you would have no obligation whatsoever of opening . And that would certainly help bring something useful and quality to the OTF .

I'm with Winston and CyberShy on this. Just confining them to one would still make me angry. You don't need Apolyton for this type of thing.

I'm seriously curious about the actual arguments, though. What exactly makes babe threads have less place in the off-topic than Bush-bashing, Battlestar Galactica or Pekka's-brilliant-idea threads? Of course, with no changes to avatar rules and such.

All other threads you mention are about ideas, opinions, arguments, stories, etc. They are words. Words belong in a forum.

Babes aren't about sharing opinions or news.

[Solver]

Depends on how you view it, really. You could view that as sharing opinions on who are the best looking females / what are their best pictures.

And by that logic you've just mentioned, the picture thread doesn't belong on the forum, nor do the OTF threads of "Pics of where you live" and such. I do not see a real difference between a pictures of cities thread and a pictures of babes thread.

[LordShiva]

Yes they are. We get to share our different opinions on who is hot, etc. If you don't want to see pictures of attractive women, you don't need to open the thread.

edit: x-post

[Robert]

The stuff mentioned above of course only works for lawyers and jurists. "We are debating the hotness of the women". It doesn't work for me.

Pictures of yourself or the city where you live are personal. It has to do with community. Learning to know each other. The picture game is a forum game.

And of course, technically it's perhaps possible to come with all kinds of reasons why babe-threads are alike some kind of another already existing thread.
The bottom line for me is just that everybody knows and feels that pictures of attractive women is in another league. If you see them your loins start to burn (if they're hot enough) and you don't visit the thread for the purpose of getting knowledge of learning opinions or each other.

Of course can I not open the thread.
The thing is that I am a man and I am tempted to see beautifull women when I get the change.
The world is in 2006 full with temptations to go and spend hours of time, I must say 'waste hours of time' with attractive ladies. First you watch them wearing all kinds of clothes, then you start watching them in bikinis, then they are nude and then they suddenly start to do all kinds of stuff.

I just want to be tempted with that all day wherever I come. The internet is full of it, the world is full of it. I can't watch tv I can't drive my car or there are adds, commercials or just programs that tempt me to waste hours of my time. To poisoin myself with what some people call the fruits of the modern age.

Do I not like beautifull ladies? Oh yeah, I'm a man and I'm not different then any of the other men.
but I don't like our porn-addicted world in which beauty and nudity and sex seem to be all that matters in the end. Therefor I just hope that Apolyton can stay free of this modern fruit. I won't judge others who do prefer spending their hours. And maybe I'm a stupid person who does that and is the rest of the forum filled with guys who aren't tempted to do that.

I just don't understand that one of the posters in this forum first claimed that he was trying to get rid of his porn addiction and now starts to beg for babe threads. I've learned that a recovering alcoholist shouldn't even drink 1 bottle of beer. But once again, that's just my opinion and I may be wrong.

I just want to ask those who think that I'm retarted and backwards and stupid and whatever else want to use visit for the babe threads. The internet is full of babes, clothed and nude, for all desires and all wishes. Please let Apolyton stay clean of it.

Thank you!

Babe Threads

Seriously, we´re allowed to talk about killing people, show glee at fascist abuse on an american campus and generally being unpleasant. But no pretty women? Come on, people!

have fun and leave my civilization site allone please.

Contrary to my belief, that search actually yelded some excellent results, instead of spammy spamfest.

No wonder CyberShy is so addicted. He knows very well where to look.

[DrSpike]

Those look much worse than usual babe thread pics. I must protest against the person who first introduced the idea to what I remind you is a family site.
