That's a slippery slope, any number of people can be offended by any number of 
things. Try to please them all and you'll find the USC severely limiting in its 
selection.

Also, aside from the name, there is nothing pornographic about Pornview, it's 
simply an image viewer.

I agree. And really its right that we should stick to the topic at hand. Its 
easy to get caught up in discussions like this but if I were to bring some 
insight to the table, i'd say that the last email was right about those 
concepts being religious traditions and not the teachings of christianity, the 
whole reason we should seek to prevent things like pornview from being featured 
items is the same reason we don't let our 8 year olds, at least most of us 
don't, see an R rated movie... it has nothing to do with "censorship" or being 
a nanny over free adults, its just about being appropriate for all audiences 
(rated G as it were).

i can't really speak for anything you didn't mention but i don't see the 
problem with anything that you did mention.i've played pool and poker on church 
trips. they're just games and they're not evil. if you meant tarot cards i 
don't know if i'd consider them evil but it's one of those things that other 
people might. they do have some nice art on some of them though. i very much 
like music. i don't always like some of the things people are singing or the 
sound of some of it though.


i'm not trying to say your grandmother was wrong for her beliefs just that the 
parts you mentioned aren't inherently Christian just because she was. to be 
honest it seems more like dogma that got built up for one reason or another 
over time.  i've seen some parents that didn't let their kids watch the 
powerpuff girls, pokemon, or other things because of one thing or another.  the 
same kind of crap that had people saying that you shouldn't read harry potter 
or play/read dungeons and dragons games/books and that whole Halloween is evil 
thing that goes on somewhere every year. i don't know i think some people just 
get so wrapped up in "being christian" that they miss the point entirely.
