"So smote it be."

It's true that the phrase is uttered at Masonic meetings.

I vote that Shawnee isn't allowed to speak about censorship unless she posts a picture of her assests.

I feel that death is a private matter for the families of these people. I feel that when these images were posted it exploited and contaminated my brain and left this person with no dignity in death. There was no choice about whether to view them or not given to anyone, despite the disclaimer.

I have no problem viewing a person that is dead. I have seen dead people before. I have had friends die and their relatives asked me to fix their hair and make-up before the viewing at the funeral home. The one girl had been so sick and she always had sunshiny hi lighted hair and her family felt that she should look how she would have wanted to look. I cannot imagine the pain that this person's family must feel if they know her image is being paraded around the internet. She was a person now she is dead.

She was put on as a grotesque display for a reaction. I don't think this is about censorship as much as it is about human dignity in death.

Very well put!

True.

Also the phrase "When I was Master..." gets a good workout.

Just out of curiosity, am I the only Freemason in The Cellar?

:secret sign smiley:



Edit: not really.

Just as I tell people who offer a string of beads to see boobies: it's gonna cost you a lot more than a cheap string of plastic beads to see these babies! So, it's gonna cost you more than a little friendly cajoling! :p

Very nicely put, Nirvana. You said what I should have said.

I love a woman with strong moral principles.

Red has been one for several years, and served in most of the officer positions. He was Master of his lodge last year. He got a little too much enjoyment out of making me call him master though IMHO. :rolleyes: I preferred to call him top turd.

I thought the Freemasons were a secret society.

:lol:

I'm immoral when the situation calls for it and I want to be! It's just a personal thing, for me!

They have some secret rituals, but it's not 100% secret. Family is invited to certain ceremonies, like Officer Installation, and Past Master dinners. They also have dinners where they honor citizens in the community and winners of the college scholarships they give away, stuff like that.
