Porn is dead!!!
Quote | Reply
Okay, so I tried to address this issue a while ago (here) but it seems that while some of you have heard my pleas, a number of people have turned a deaf ear. I didn't want it to have to come to this, but I'm afraid that you leave me no choice. The word "porn" has become so overused that it has now lost all meaning. It was bad enough when we were talking about Trek Hilo's and the like, but with the revival of the "dog porn" thread, its only a matter of time before some sick individual posts pictures of a cute kid, labelled as "child porn".

Thus, I am hereby officially tabling a motion to strike the word "porn" from the ST vocabulary, when used as a descriptor for anything other than actual porn (we're talking about explicit sexual content here). No longer will ST'ers describe bicycles, bicycle components, tools, food, or anything other than (hot) nekkid people as "porn". Porn is dead.

I second the motion. Just refer to your thread as "Cool Bike Pics" or something similar.

I won't agree until you come up with a decent alternative to call it. "Cool bike pics" is outright lame.

I remember a time when people who wanted a motion to be voted on did not "table" it ... ;-)

  • Lay on the Table: Temporarily suspends further consideration/action on pending question; may be made after motion to close debate has carried or is pending
  • Take from the Table: Resumes consideration of item previously "laid on the table" - state the motion to take from the table

    Hear hear
    Meaning
    A shout of acclamation or agreement.
    Origin
    Originated in the British parliament in the 18th century as a contraction of 'hear him, hear him'. It is still often heard there although it is often used ironically these day

    I've been afraid to look at the "Dog Porn" thread...just doesn't seem right to click on something like that.

    I'd be really afraid if someone posted a "Kitty Porn" thread. Way to close to Kiddy for me.

    Please see the last paragraph:

    ===============================
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_(verb)

    Table (verb)
    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
    Jump to: navigation, search

    In parliamentary procedure, table as a verb is shorthand for the motion to lay on the table. The motion, if adopted by majority vote, suspends consideration of the current main motion and all subsidiary motions immediately. The motion is not debatable.

    This motion is, properly, used only when it is necessary to suspend consideration of a motion in order to deal with another matter that has come up unexpectedly and which must be dealt with before the pending motion can be properly addressed. [1] It has, however, become common to misuse the motion to end consideration of the pending main motion without debate, or to mistakenly assume that its adoption prevents further consideration of the main motion at all, or until a specified time; neither use is correct.

    A motion that has been laid on the table in this manner may be taken up again by adoption of a motion to take from the table. This motion is not debatable, and requires a majority for adoption. A motion may be taken from the table only until the end of the next session (commonly, the next meeting) after the one in which it was laid on the table, if that session occurrs within three months of the session in which it was laid on the table; if there is no session within those three months, the motion may only be taken from the table during the current session. If these time limits are not met, the motion dies.

    One possible source of the common misuse of the motion to lay on the table to kill a motion without debate is the use of the motion in the United States House of Representatives, where laying a motion on the table effectively does just that. [2]

    All of this confuses people accustomed to the usage of the British parliament, where to "table" a measure is to propose it for consideration, as in bringing it to the legislative table. See British Parliament for examples. This usage is also the most common meaning encountered in Canadian English.

    =========================================

    Also:

    Compact Oxford English Dictionary


    table

    • noun 1 a piece of furniture with a flat top and one or more legs, for eating, writing, or working at. 2 a set of facts or figures systematically displayed. 3 (tables) multiplication tables. 4 food provided in a restaurant or household: food includes a lunchtime buffet table.

    verb Brit. present formally for discussion or consideration at a meeting.





    Remember friends, there is no such language as "American" ;-p

    I agree, your motion should be tabled (that means removed from voting consideration or further deliberations). Porn is in the eye of the beholder. One man's porn is another man's garbage. You are not the judge as to my taste in porn. I appreciate all types.

    Disclaimer since I am posting at work- Please note that all refrences to porn refer to pictures of bikes and other non-sexual items.

    I also wonder how many people are blocked from Slowtwitch at the office because of corporate filters....would be good for the website in general.
