ORIGINAL: theobserver But it goes without question (in my opinion) that photographs of minors should not be displayed on this website or any site like it. Don't you think there's real benefit to showing that people who beat on other people are also loving parents, and members of loving families? How is this any different from the notion of showing kids on gay-centered web sites? Or should the fact that kinky people love their children be just as off-limits as saying that Jimmy has two mommies? Besides, a single man looking for a partner might want to post a photo showing that he is a loving parent. Men and women do that on Match all the time, and it's not as though people registered on Match aren't looking for sexual partners. Beyond that, there are site members in all kinds of economic situations. Many people are living mutliple families to an apartment (or a house), or a whole family in a studio apartment, etc. Your logic would indicate that, for example, no one in such a situation could log into the video chatroom, because kids would undoubtedly appear in the background of their camera from time to time, just because of living in close quarters. That seems discriminatory to me. However, all that said, administration has made clear in recent posts that the guiding factor here is practical, not philosophical: it depends on the political climate of the US, and on what is considered "obscene" by law enforcement today. So while some people might want to post any photo because of freedom of speech, and others might want to have no kids ever to protect the children, the reality is that the site will probably vary what it does over time, to keep law enforcement out of its hair. "Don't you think there's real benefit to showing that people who beat on other people are also loving parents, and members of loving families?" Actually, no, I don't see a benefit in 'placing photography' on the site in order to communicate that fact. However, I don't see a problem stating you are a parent but that is my opinion. Collarme is riddled with adult advertisement featuring c*cks, vaginas, sexual torture devices, porn flicks, consensual violence and everything and anything in between, if you really believe plastering your um's smiling pic alongside that is appropriate then have at it, but again not something I would do and the people that would do that, wouldbe the kind I would avoid, cause if they'd do that to their ums, I could only imagine what they'd do to mine.
