saltpepperPA November 5, 2007, 02:55 PM Figured this was a good place to post about this... A portion of every calendar is donated to the Wounded Warrior Project. Read more about it in the links below. Just thought I'd try and help them out.

saltpepperPA November 5, 2007, 03:10 PM Would it go over better if i took out the photo?
Princi November 5, 2007, 03:17 PM I'd go without the photo. Wouldn't want my wife to think I was at some site I shouldn't be at if she glanced at the screen.
frankcostanza November 5, 2007, 03:22 PM thats better, now this thread has a fighting chance ;)
esq_stu November 5, 2007, 03:33 PM I'd go without the photo. oooh - what did I miss?
saltpepperPA November 5, 2007, 04:36 PM You didn't miss anything you can't see on the myspace page.
saltpepperPA November 7, 2007, 02:58 PM Just want to bump this up and get this some publicity, its a worthy cause.
Autolycus November 7, 2007, 04:11 PM I disagree. It degrades women in the name of politics. I dont think it is very noble to do that. It is also hypocritical to procalim that the US military is over there fighting for freedom and equality and all that garbage when it is simply not true. I have heard many conservatives talk about how women are repressed over there and yet here we are degrading them here. What kind of "Family Values" does this teach us?
Would you want your daughter to do this?
romma November 7, 2007, 04:16 PM I thought we were looking at pics of the Patriot Cheerleaders... :uhoh:
saltpepperPA November 7, 2007, 04:20 PM I am not about to get into a political debate over it. I am just going to state my opinion.
I would let my daughter do this. It is a modeling 'gig' and it goes towards something that I approve of. I would not be happy if it were nude, or worse, but that is all that I could do... disaprove.
Now, it is YOUR OPINION that these women are being degraded, not mine,
and you are entitled to that. However, I do believe that selling a calendar that will go to help wounded soldiers is a noble cause, and that is the kind of "Family Values" that I like.
Now... if you think this is degrating, then I am sorry, but since it is merely modeling (sexual, maybe, but still modeling) and shows no nudity or any acts that are making women look less then human, I STILL believe that it is a worthy cause.
Byron November 7, 2007, 04:45 PM As an old grunt from Nam,I can say that grunts appreciate the home front as these ladies indicate. Morale is definitley lifted for our soldiers. Thanks, Byron

It is sad that this is what passes for activism these days.
Now, it is YOUR OPINION that these women are being degraded
What would you call it? Why are they so few articles of clothing if this is not about using women's sex appeal to make money. It doesn't matter what the cause is, it is degrading. These photos objectify and dehumanize these women.
Justin November 7, 2007, 05:42 PM Neither RKBA related nor activism as defined in the floated notes at the top of this forum.
