Believe it or not, there are people that are proud to be a New Yorker.

Yeah, I like the kitty contrary to other's opinion of him. Maybe if it didn't irritate some low level waders or WTF I might replace him, but nah...funner that way.

You know, thinking about your situation, maybe it's the overtness that bothers you? Most people don't wear their opinions or personal feelings openly, much less with controversial symbols. Can you imagine the people you encounter at other times who are more closeted in their views? Whether I agree with someone or not, I prefer those that of least throw it out there so I know to avoid, engage or ignore. I think your asking for a can of worms asking providers to disclose. Just my .02.

A welcome dose of sanity in an otherwise insane world.

Well I for one would love to read Chelsea's response to the bomb Tush threw into the middle of a glowing review on her. Too bad It was removed. All this you can't do or say something because it offends me is baloney.

Sa_artman · 07-13-2010, 02:33 PM

But then we're all hypocrites at one time or another.

oden · 07-13-2010, 02:42 PM

Link doesn't work.

Here Here! Political Correctness is a cancer. An example of the Slippery Slope that's gone too far.

Tony Horwitz. It is tremendously entertaining and provides marvelous insights about why so many cling to the "romance" of the Confederacy and its symbols.

As a southern white man it would steer me clear of seeing her. It's terribly distasteful and lacks couth.

Well, I wouldn't go that far. Taken to extremes, yes, as a moderating and base point to balance-it's better than nothing. Is it politically correct to hang a set of balls from your truck? Is it wrong to tell someone that little children don't need to be subjected to someones need to hang genitalia as sign of machismo? How far do we tread?

And this isn't the first discussion that has been had on this board about the subject of a provider displaying this particular symbol:

Yep,

Some of the largest purveyors of acceptance of others are the biggest violators of the same. But they cloak it in rightous indignation.

I wonder whether he would be equally disgusted at the burning of the American Flag by a protester...or the protesting outside of a memorial service of a fallen soldier by that lunatic woman...or the waving of the Mexican Flag on the country's independence day celebration. Free speech to them is only free if you agree with them.

Thank God we have his moral compass to keep us in line.

It's flag for God sake......if it offends you then it is better for the both of you not to see each other.

Nobody can please all the people all the time. But damn if that stops the PC folks from just trying to please their side!

If I were TTH I would not have shared that link. Wasn't much of a supporting position.

I'm with oden, sure would have loved to hear Chelsa response!

On a side note, I just read where M. Gladwell freaking downed the book "To Kill a Mockingbird" writer for not writing a tougher book! I like his three books but if I see him at a book signing I'll kick him in the nuts! What a stupid thing to say. No historical context taken into account. Sorry for the hijack but this PC crap is a bunch of shit.

I don't know if this helps , but Eros guide recently changed their picture rules. You can post as many as eight without having to pay extra, so there is a pretty good chance that she put that one up there just to get back in to the what's new category.As long as your potential client is nice I would not worry about it.

I had no idea that you could post photos that you are not in

. This knowledge could be dangerous in my hands. I may end up posting multiple photos of my dogs wedding day.

And that is almost gaurateed to offend someone as well

That might attract so "odd" clients.

Isn't that what I said?????

It has nothing to do with any sort of political correctness. It has to do with a belief that I have held since I was a young boy long before people coined the phrase political correctness.

But it speaks volumes about her. She is a provider who won't pay for additional pictures and chooses for her only picture to be one of a confederate battle flag?!?! I have lots of imagines of what she looks like, and if she has an incall, what it must look like.
