Seems to me that the network security *******s might notice a visit to HTC before they'd even raise an eyebrow about Amazon. Hell, at first glance, there is no possible way to tell from the URL that the link went to adult toys. Now, if the link went to bigthickanimaldildos.com, you might have issues.

You obviously were not supposed to be doing this and thats why there was trouble. I agree however that questionable links should not be on here but havent seen any that didnt have warnings. All companies I have been with instituted policies that if you were surfing anything non-work related it was punishable up to job loss. Didnt matter if its on your break you are eating up their bandwith.

Uh....You really think this thread is about "someone getting in trouble at work for surfing this site?" I thought this Thread was more about the appropiateness of allowing graphic images into what we all agree is not the appropiate venue for such images.

FWIW tho, they are MY Computers, it's MY Connection and they're MY rules- the only etched in stone one being that NO- repeat, NO- adult content sites allowed because to allow adult content sites may be offensive to others who work here, the UPS driver, or any client I'm giving the nickel tour to.

Anyway those Euros bragging about their "freedoms" are full of crap- for instance, wearing a swastika is forbidden in Germany, Moslem schoolgirls are forbidden to wear their traditional headgear in France, and in England they aren't allowed to display graphic images of Princess Di's car crash nor posess handguns.

However, they DO have the right to be offensive to others, smell bad, act rudely to American tourists and start World Wars.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the difference between them (and some of you who believe as they do) and us. Their most paramount "right" is the right to offend others; our most paramount responsibility is to NOT offend others.

in America many of us know that freedom requires some iota of responsibility, and without that responsibility we lose our freedoms bit by bit.

Get off that hype Airhead and grab some ground below your feet.

Actually siaf, Airhead is absolutely correct. Freedom without responsibilty and some controls is called anarchy. We're not interested, thanks.

Then you should fire yourself for goofing off on "work" computers. Use your own personal computer for personal use and work computers for work. If they are one and the same then you should change your rules.

Looks like you like to be "in charge"; You like to be someone creating regulations and telling people how to behave, what to do and what not.

btw we have swastikas in some of our medals; muslims are free to wear what ever they want, Princess Di is yesterdays news and we can own even a frigging howitzer.

Don't worry; feel free to put us all in same lump and I'll be using examples from Chile and Argentina to tell what happens in US.

Naah; I wouldn't make such a mistake; I'm too intelligent for that.

Mora, Siaf, and you other "free" Euros- What freedoms you have were paid for in American blood, and without us you'd either be under the yoke of the Nazis or the Communists.

Rubbish.

You're saying millions of people died to preserve your "morals"; when you're stealing?

and this:

"Our style of freedom requires respect for others and responsibility....two words which don't seem to translate into European languages."

You mean English?

Thrawn, that's just perfect- and if people didn't like Janet Jackson's boob flash at the Super Bowl then they should quit watching television, too.

After all, the rights of those to do or post whatever they want are paramount over the rights of those of us who feel we have a reasonable expectation to not to be ambushed by adult content either here or on TV halftime show.

Then, OTOH, you COULD keep your images to yourself, or display them in a proper forum- but no, you feel like you have the right to make me look.

Maybe YOU should refrain from posting inappropiate JPEGS on a PG rated site and not concern yourself with how my office runs.

BTW- How old are you anyway? I'm guessing 19-25...if you're older than that then I genuinely feel sorry for you.

Uh...Seeker, look at a map of Europe circa 1944- now tell me how much of Europe wasn't under the control of either the Commies or Nazis.

And what I'm saying is millions of Americans died to bail you out- TWICE- when you couldn't settle your own affairs. It has nothing to do with our morals and everything to do with Europe's lack of morals- since you wish to define "morals" as "respect."

I was going to catch up on this thread but I have to poop and that seems more interesting now that this thread has run it's course. Speaking of runs.... excuse me.
