You people delete a completely innocent picture of a girl, and allow pure porn on your site. Double standards, or hiding behind false morals? I loathe people who force their religious morality upon the rest of the world.

UPDATE: The picture in question can be found here:

Now I should add that I cropped the original picture already, so it wouldn't show a part of the other nipple, which I found too obtrusive myself! This girl is now 10 years old, and can still be found at the beach without a top, which in my opinion is her prerogative, and I don't see anything wrong with this. My own daughters started wearing a top only at 8 or 9, and it was their choice to start wearing one. I had comments from a person on this picture, stating it was child porn, which of course is absolutely ridiculous, unless you are a total sexual deviant, and see something sexual in this picture!

This picture finally remained in my album for 6 months before someone hit the report button, without even arguing with me about it. The DA staff didn't bother to argue either, and just deleted it without question. This is nothing more than meaningless censorship, especially considering the content I sometimes see on this site. There are plenty of much more questionable and provocative pictures here than mine. I would argue that a picture of a little girl, fully clothed, but making a provocative and purely sexual gesture, is far closer to child porn than the innocent island girl depicted in my entry.

So where do we draw the line? What determines if a picture is sexual in nature? I certainly have no intent to even taunt the boundaries. To me, this picture is nothing more than a nice portrait of a young island girl, certainly not 'suggestive,' or 'sexual' content.


P.S: it would be nice if the person who reported the picture would be so kind to report to me here. I would like to hear your argument why you reported it.
