all kidding aside,that brings back a memory.when I was 4 years old, I was became very quiet one day.my mom found me in the washroom with a tube of her lipstick.I had decorated the toilet,the window,2 walls & the bathtub.

ArtfulDodger: re :
I think the focus will be on positive discussion. Debates are probably better served in the debate forums.

amen I agree...lets spent our time on art not arguing..I think there has been enough of that elsewhere...lets for once have a board were we"leave our baggage at the door".
but its scarlets board

my point was this:
yes I beleive in free expression.
but I like to think we have enough discretion to avoid offending anyone of starting an argument.

but also debate is great..as long as we can be mature & not abusive about it.

we can agree to disagree if e have to.

anyway,I donr make the rules

amelie,I dont know.

gee not this already.my initial post was clear wasnt it ..not need to start a rant.

gekrompen hoofd:

woops typo..please del last post,this is edited VS

freely, and freedom of expression is encouraged...

hey,i agree,I'm a descent guy,but also very liberal.
but I know I should take care not to offend someone who would might be less cosmopolitan.

I love art,culture,media in its many forms.they are many areas of art that are beautiful but very shall we say liberal.
the human form for example,is beautiful in a wholesome way.but if anyone says that,people may not appreciate the thought because we have so much abuse of women & children,unfortunately in this world.
thus in art,somethings that are tasteful & nice to some,could offend someone else.
in art,there are many grey areas.also,clouding the issue,some things that are not in good taste,some people pass off as art.

I unfortunately predict that a board like this could find many controversal posts.
I hope to help us avoid this by appealling from the start to all to remember:
that not just adults use this site
try to keep any link posted to be in good taste.
