Mike,
Can you seriously not see the difference between respecting and liking people for what they are and judging them as a piece of meat??
The people talked about by far the most are women, young women by young men. What happened to admiring a person? What kind of mind do they have? What do they love? What do they do?
You cannot do that when all you see when you look at a woman are boobs and a potential lay. Refering to women as "hot" does not convey any type of respect.

I agree with Mo. Sure you can drool looking a beatiful woman, but don't be disrespectful.

We had this discussed about a year ago and if I remenber correcting Zelda was about the first to put up pics.

By the way Mo I wouldn't use bolt cutters. I gave them a 100 meters head start and then pull out my Rem 223 Bolt action pistol from the old box. On second thought I just loan her my 9mm and let her take care of the problem. Shooting is part of my kids education along with fencing and archey and self defense.

I think we've come a long way from the days when they salt petered the young men's food to kill their sex drive and all the women were supposed to be prudish, prim and proper. Wether that is good or bad, who knows.

I'll probably carry on the same way as Mo or even worse if I ever get married and have a daughter, but I know if that day comes the kids will think I've forgotten what it was like to be young and single.

Mo, you may see what Tim said as "piggish" or something of that nature. But when you say:

Quote:

Would you like the "boys" at the competitions talking trash about your daughter passing judgement on her based on her looks?

you are assuming that those remarks would be negative. Again what he said may be crude in how he said it, but he did offer a compliment. He did not "talk trash" and he said one thing, which was said possitivly, although somewhat crudely. So, maybe you could lay off Tim because he did not say anything that was mean.

Tim, no need to apologise.......
Check your PM's. And yes I am back in Australia for the forseeable future, unless I find a dream job with the UN.

I may be nieve (I hope I spelled that correctly), but shouldn't anyone clicking on a post entitled "babes fencing" expect to find a lot of tongue-in-cheek, silly, and yes sexist, immature rants, comments, and drivel done specifically for harmless fun? As someone who has been familiar with this board for a number of years, I am pretty sure that if anyone's comments were to get out of line, others on the board will take them to task for it. After all, this is a family show (so to speak).

I still laugh loudly whenever I read L_Marie's comment:

"FYI.....I get hot every time i fence. LOL

"

Hysterical!

Zelda I read my pm. Thank you my dear. I have to deal with a 17 year old daughter that if truth to be know is a very beautiful
young lady and a outstanding referee in all three weapons and not a bad foil fencer. She was looking at a new dress to referee in to try and make the babes in fencing list.

"OK, Floretje, now we're curious and the "Post your Picture" thread from way back is gone, so post your picture and let us see! I'm sure Latenight and a few other gents would join me in this request!"

I can confirm that Floretje is a wonderful, beautiful and talented lady.

She is one of the coolest people I have ever met on the net.
