BTW, I didn't have enough room, but wanted to add something along the lines of "people say 'fail-ick!' when we play the violin, but we're pretty good on the cymbals!'"

edited to add violin comment, then again because I messed something up, then again due to respecting minors -- not the keys in which the violins play (badly), humans under 18 years old! :D

I don't get the last one. :?

"Dressing to the right/left" is a tailoring term for which side of his crotch a guy tends to shove his, um, equipment into. Take a look at these guys' shorts and you'll see what we mean.

I'm really sorry to be the party pooper here, but some of the people in these pictures I know in person. They are kids and they really aren't mean fundies at all, but really nice open minded people. Can we not make sexual innuendos about kids? I love a good snark, but not towards innocent kids and certainly not sexual innuendo. Not okay. Just not. 18+ Snark away.

In addition, for some whackdoodle fundies, I really don't want them thinking about young teens in a sexual way. Am I the only one who feels this way?

Edited to thank Thoughtful for taking down the pictures. Thank you Thoughtful! There were unintended minors snarked upon... We're good now. Thanks!

I agree with not snarking on minors, but isn't not being nice and open minded a key part of being fundie? I don't know who anyone but the Duggars are in the pictures above, but I don't think you can be a fundie and be open minded at the same time.

Well, the people I know in those pictures are fundies, but they are really kind, they laugh at my off color jokes and were there in normal ways when my kids were sick, they know my beliefs on everything and like me, they drink a beer or wine when we get together and they've never once criticized me on anything religious and they've even asked my advice and are always learning. So, yeah, there are some. Maybe the libertarianish ones are more open minded and "live and let live"?

As my husband said, "Free Jingerites have gone too far. They've objectified the other side that they can't even imagine anymore what it would be like to be in their shoes." I agree. I love Free Jinger, but this is wrong. It breaks my heart for my friend who has done nothing but be a great friend to me in spite of our differences.

We are the good people right? We don't think it's right to sexually objectify young children, right? I mean we're anti purity balls and abuse and being engaged to daddy and all that. You are abusing kids with this thread. This is sick. Please take the pickle and the cannon photo down. Pretty please with homemade soy sauce on top?

Then they're not fundies. Fundies believe their way is the only way and everyone else is going to hell and living in sin. Acting nice doesn't really matter when you hold pretty vile beliefs. So who are those people? I've never seen any of them but I assume they must be some fundies that we have snarked on for some reason or people wouldn't have been looking at their photos.

So, to whoever got the picture, who are they and why did you choose them if they aren't fundies? Are only part of the people in the picture non-snarked on non-fundies? Or was it found on a fundie blog because these people are friends with fundies? It is just kind of weird that total non-fundies would be used on here.

Like I said, I'm with you with the not sexualizing minors thing, I just don't buy that there are open-minded fundies. You just can't be a fundie and be open-minded at the same time.

Ok, I see your point about the third pic with the young boys, but why exactly would you object to the Jim Bob picture and a group of women in their late teens/early 20's who are Duggers & assorted ATI folk?

edit for rifle

The girls looked younger to me. If they are older, than I don't mind and even find it witty. The one I'm objecting to is the cannon one. My friends are fundies, just not mean, self righteous ones. I was under the understanding that a fundie is one thing, but a mean self righteous fundy was another, and a fundy kid was someone to be pitied or helped in some way so that they don't think the "evil world" is against them, you know? The cannon one is the only one I really care about personally. The pickle one would be bad if they are young teens (it's hard to tell though when people don't wear makeup and are made to behave infantile).

This is so confusing. First you say you are against posting sexul inuendos about minors (which I agree with). Then you say that these people in the pictures laugh at your off colour jokes and drinks alcohol (I really hope these are not the same minors you are referring to). Then, your heart breaks for your friend who has been a good friend to you. Is your firend a minor?? Are you against posting these pictures of minors or are you against posting pictures of your firend(s)?

If the last picture has people in it that have never been snarked on before how is that picture on our radar? Oh wait, are you talking about the people in the lower right hand corner of tha cannon picture?

Like I said in the other thread about "nice fundies", they are the most dangerous ones. Most people are going to be turned off from those beliefs by Zsu Zsu and Kelly, but the sweet people still hold the same vile beliefs, they just know how to sugar coat them and people are more likely to be lured into these dangerous beliefs. My parents didn't start off learning about Gothard by people like the Duggars and Bates, it was normal, sweet, caring appearing people who got them started on the path to following Gothard.

Look. This is stupid as heck, and annoying.

You may well know them and they are "nice people". But the pearlclutching is getting stupid now. What was the OP supposed to do, send them all a formal letter asking them how old they were at the time of the photo and could they please provide documentary proof?

Also, did you private message the OP to say these are my pals and some are underage and this feels wrong, please could you edit?

Honestly, fucking snark board. This is not rocket science. Also, your story doesn't add up, but you knew that.

I actually agree about not talking about minor children's private parts. In the LOLDoug thread, I thought there was consensus on that? Think if it was your child.

I disagree with teh overly dramatic pearl-clutching though. It's a little early for "FJ is as intolerant as the fundies"!!!!!

It wouldn't be too hard to make a snark on the dad, but for some reason I suck at thinking up LOLdoug captions. Why aren't there any girls shooting off rockets? You don't actually need a penis to shoot off a rocket. See, I'm sure someone could make that thought into a funny captions but I sure can't.

The problem with moderating for innuendo, even when it includes people under 18, is that it's difficult to set an objective standard for determining when something crosses the line:

The innuendo in the third pic is fairly obvious, and yet there's nothing about the picture or about the added text that would, for example, render the image 'Not safe for work.' I think, in the main, if something is SFW, then it's safe for FJ.

The other mods might see things differently than I do, so if you feel strongly enough about it, please PM them with a link to this thread.

What I got from mompom's posts is that she's friends with the family. So adults and minors among the friends. I can appreciate off color jokes but would not appreciate someone taking a photo of my daughter and putting a sexually suggestive caption on it. But then I don't post pictures of her everywhere and I make sure her Facebook is locked down.

Hells bells, noting someone has a penis isn't sexualizing them.

Yeah, but teens can be self -conscious. If it was my teen child and someone posted a caption drawing attention to her breasts... neither of us would like it.

I just think it would be better with some other caption.

All these calls for moderation and not snarking on this, that, and the other thing is getting really old. The pictures were already on the internet. We didnt put them there, someone else did. Theyre fair game. The kids "equipment" is clearly THERE. The comment is a statement of fact. No one is commenting on size or sexualizing anything.

Moral of the story : be careful what pictures you post on the internet.

OK, to continue my serial posting (boy am I in procrastination mode):

I don't want to slap a hand or ask for moderator removal but am simply stating my opinion. Because we are not a hive vagina.
