"provocative" artwork"provocative" artworkPosted Oct 21, 2004 16:58 UTC (Thu) by tjc (subscriber, #137)In reply to: "provocative" artwork by smurf Parent article: Ubuntu Linux and the future of Debian I guess you're calling me a Puritan. (You were addressing me, weren't you?) If so, I take it as a compliment. They had some ways that seem odd to us now, but they had a zeal for Right Living that's hard to find in America today. From what I hear Europe is about 5 to 7 years ahead of us in depravity, so I guess I am fortunate to live in America despite it's current moral condition. As for art vs. p0rn: For what it's worth -- if I could view pictures of semi-nude young women without any sort of physical or emotional response, I would consider scheduling an appointment with my family doctor. If you think nudity is stricty art, then something might not be working right...

Erm, Smurf definitely did not say that. You might want to read his post again. And, are you actaully claiming the Ubuntu login screen is porn?? Talk about something not working right...
BTW, the Puritans were a hypocritical, disgraceful lot. You might want to read the Scarlet Letter again. Or brush up on the history of witch hunts.

If you take any large enough group of people you can find a few individuals who are/were hypocritical and maybe even disgraceful, but that doesn't implicate the entire group. Saying Puritans are a hypocritical, disgraceful lot is like saying Muslims are all terrorists, or Windows users are all idiots. You better check up on the revisionist history you've been reading. ;-)
