What a stupid name for a band.

That's the point.
And they're not a band as such, rather a political collective.

Snicker, somebody tampered with the name I had given the thread. Wonder why?

Because it sounded pornographic as it was written, and I think you know that!

First, those were Russians. Do you suppose that they think dirty the way you think? Now Jimmy, you know very well that a lot of what gets called pornography is just freedom of speech and not actually porn.

I wanted to know who tampers with posts. And you confessed.

Jimmy, I believe that is how a democrat would have acted. To try to smother free speech.

I sure hope you change your mind and allow free speech. I have seen only adults on this board and a lot of things I refuse to say since I know very well it would be porn. But my goodness, my intent was to encourage people to study what Russia is doing to the freedom in Russia and that when Obama says he resets, look who he resets with.

Article I found on the girls band. This band is a punk band.

====================
Earlier this month, Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said that keeping the women in prison any longer would be "unproductive" — a statement that encouraged hopes the appeals court could set them free. But skeptics pointed at the Kremlin's ongoing crackdown on dissent, saying that their release would be unlikely.
A recent official opinion poll showed that more than half of Russians are critical of what Pussy Riot did and consider their two-year jail sentence to be a just one, with less than a third saying the opposite.

I allow freedom of speech - but you don't agree that "PUSSY IN PRISON" isn't the most acceptable term to have plastered on the board? Sure, we're all adults here, but we like to think of ourselves as a family oriented board, if we can. I'll change it back, and maybe I'm alone, but I don't think it represents the board, is nice for the women here to have to read - and it's not even the name of the band, it's simply the bands name changed to make things appear to be in the gutter for effect.

Thread title changed back to it's original title, so that I don't get accused of censorship. I changed it based on my explanation above. I allow 'almost' anything here, but sometimes try and curb a few things to keep it all family oriented and so that our women members don't have to read what is either filth, or something designed to liken itself to filth of porn. As most know, the dreaded "C" word is completely banned here at this board, and I don't think of it as censorship for a moment. Maybe I'm wrong.

Well Jimmy
Have you ever been to a comedy show?
Have you sat in movies and cringed over their language?
I mainly wanted to expose who tampers with posts. I did not think you had done it.
As to the word I put down, I sort of thought some of you might snicker, but not get upset.
You don't have to change the title back. I don't plan to censor you.

Now had I said the C word in prison, that I believe calls for some plain talk. By mail to me.

Seek my counsel as to my words. If I can't defend them, fine, go for it and change some of them.
Finally Jimmy

I hear things said on broadcast TV all the time that seem to me less family than what I said.

Watch Two Broke Girls for some crude humor. I think the humor in two and a half men is more crude than my comment.

Hey, thanks though for your rather kind reply to me. I appreciate that a lot.

Jimmy, I really thank you. Had you sent me a note and asked me if I must have it changed, I would call you off and say to you, no need. I explained why I asked and it has to do with censorship and limits.

The other word you allude to in my view is super crude and ugly. I have seen posters say that C word and I would like to smack them for saying it. Glad you don't allow that word.

I recall George Carlins 7 words and today on TV you can count on seeing most of them almost daily.

Shame isn't it. Again, thanks for your kindness.

Jimmy, thank you for your sensitivity to women on this board. However, I have been following the news media on this case for weeks. I am much more offended by the censorship the Russian government has imposed on their free speech than on any commentary on their name. I just wonder whether the name of the band is as sexually tinged in Russian as the translation is in English.

We all realize kids can flp on TV and see what they want so long as no adult stops them.

Two and a Half Men or Two Broke Girls has language that if what I said offends, ought to enrage you.

I am no supporter of taking rights from me. As to the dreaded C word, there is no purpose at all that is helped by saying that crude and awful word. I thank Jimmy for telling posters that is a deadly word and wont' be accepted.

BTW, even though I don't appreciate the language often seen on TV, I enjoy those shows.

There is a time to get angry and want so smack somebody then there are other times where it's best to let what they say die down.

I am a promoter of free speech. The left so often offends me but I promote their free speech.

Thank you Jim

That one act on your part proved to me that you are very fair. And I respect forums where the bosses are fair.

I don't want to offend any poster. Especially the ladies.

I hope your recovery is going well. Thanks to you, I sent my son in law the photo of the device for the neck and he is checking with his doctor to see if it might do him some good.

Changed the topic name to something more-appropriate for the topic.
