One minute you are trying to "remind" people to get closer to God and the next you are telling totally tasteless jokes.<P>I'll have to remember to avoid your posts.<P> ![[Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]](http://www.marriagebuilders.com/forum/images/icons/frown.gif)

LindaBeth,<P>Lighten up, tasteless jokes never hurt anyone. We all could use a good laugh now and then. Butterfly doesn't mean any harm, it was meant to lighten the pain we all feel. Sorry that you are offended. Sometimes it helps to laugh so you don't go crazy. I'm sure God has a sense of humor, look at the platipuss(sp) for instance. <p>[This message has been edited by devastated2 (edited February 08, 2000).]

I'm not trying to come down on butterfly, I think I am venting in general. I have been here for almost 2 months and I have read more and more references to sex and the language isn't being as edited as it used to be. <P>I probably wouldn't have responded at all, but I read a post by butterfly that sounded an awful lot like preaching to me.And I don't think these are the kind of jokes she would repeat in front of her pastor.<P>I'm sorry if I offended you, but I just want to remind people that if they are going to talk the talk... then they need to walk the walk.<P>Linda

Linda Beth,<BR>What language is bothering you? I really don't want to offend anyone, but I found it kind of refreshing to be able to talk about sex. (Part of the anonymity thing I guess) There's just so few places I feel comfortable talking about it, and I need some answers. Not that I want a porn site to come out of this, but I do feel it's nice to talk in a mature, frank way. I'll certainly avoid certain language if I can ask what I need to in a less emotion inducing way.

beth28,<BR>I agree whole-heartedly that this is a site to get advice on even the most sensitive issues. However, I have noticed more and more 'street talk' being used. And I have noticed that there is an awful lot of nasty name calling going on. I realize that people have been terribly hurt and they have a need to vent and to heal, but I do wish the language was a little more wholesome.<P>Thanks for not jumping on me too.<P>Linda
