If they’re banning Huckleberry Finn, Lolita would give the an infarction, which is close.

I guess we have to expunge Allice in Wonderland

This year marks the 150th anniversary of Lewis Carroll’s masterpiece, the wildly imaginative book Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (1865). But the recent discovery of a shocking image within his photograph collection has upstaged the celebrations, suggesting that the English author’s interest in children might not have been so innocent after all.

Tomorrow, BBC will broadcast a controversial new documentary entitled The Secret World of Lewis Carroll, in which it will be revealed that Carroll—a photographer as well as a fiction writer and mathematician—took countless pictures of young girls in his lifetime. In most of the images, the children are dressed, but there are others in which they are naked.

Carroll—whose real name was Charles Lutwidge Dodgson—set up a photography studio in his rooms at Oxford, where he was a mathematics lecturer. There, he took self-portraits and portraits of famous artists of the era like Dante Gabriel Rossetti. But photographs of children dominate his production, and amongst the most troublesome pictures, there’s one that unnerved the BBC experts particularly.

I think a lot of art is just porn tbh

Well painted, well colored, well composed. Beautiful technique. But yeah pork.

I actually think a lot of those nudie Greek statues are homosexual porn. I may be assailed as a knuckle dragged but that’s what I see when I look at it.

I don’t deny the quality or artistic talent if the sculptor. It’s magnificenb. But the subject matter . . .

effects of Moslims

they have more behind the scenes control than we imagine.

Why else does every store sell and most women wear giant scarves around their necks, just one step from headcovings.

It’s a Fake story, you can’t throw away bitcoin, it in secured area where it is stored until you use it or exchange it for real hard currency with you code. Yes you can lose you code but you can also recover it, sort of like password recovery.

By the way if you have bit coin you don’t want send them to me at 1Fujw9WtnNCeAFgZUHZhSRG2sH6dsNzeut /s

It bothers me as to what happened to the little girl after she was finished posing for the day. That artist seems a little too aroused by the view there.

(My daughter sits like this (not the arms) at 6 and I am trying to work on the modesty thing.)

So, will they do the same when JLo and other “stars” reveal THEIR crotches in public?


Isn’t JLo an adult?

The gross thing about this painting is that the artist sat there for HOURS posing the girl and painting. What did he do to her after?

Are you guys all crazy!? The girl is 10 years old or less.

Art of adult women is not child porn. Even adult PORN isn’t child porn. Stop comparing this with images of grown women.

Definitely it’s the eye of the beholder.

At 8 yrs old some of us thought the Sears catalog was the height of erotica.

Then what do you make of this genre? [Naked angels children]


Nothing. I got used to nudity when I lived in Europe. Every warm sunny day. Little kids were naked at the park wading pool. Women were topless at the beaches. They are a lot more comfortable with nudity than we are.

The uncomfortable thing about the painting of the girl was the fact that it was posed and where and how the artist was sitting. HE CHOSE TO PAINT THAT VIEW. If that were an adult woman, we would say that the view was peekaboo and “tantalizing” to a man sitting where he was.

Naked angels are COMMONPLACE in Europe.
