Just for future notice, if you want to look at pornography, please don't do it at the library. Quite frankly, I don't want to see dirty videos at 9:00 in the morning. I have no problem with pornography in general but I don't want to be forced to see it, nor should it be forced on me BEFORE lunchtime.

I can see the back row of our public access computers here at my library and this dude came in, sat down and went right to searching for porn. I watched him for a while and he kept turning around looking to see if I was watching. He saved some pics to a disk but when he started with the free streaming video I just had to go out and break it down for him. :nuts:

What is it with these people who look at porn at a PUBLIC LIBRARY??!?!!! You *know* you're going to get caught or seen by someone so keep your little hobby at home, where it belongs.

 

[Westy]

Maybe he misread the sign and thought he was in a pubic library.

people still go to Libraries?

 

[bigginsis]

or maybe it turns him on to look at it in pubic? i mean...public...at least his hands were visible at all times. we've had one of those types in here too.

 

[bigginsis]

oh stosh. just because you don't like books doesn't mean no one else does.

besides, i work for a university. the students HAVE to come to the library at least once.

 

[I Are Baboon]

Is there a policy against surfing porn at your library?

Maybe he was turning around looking at you and getting off and the porn just helped...

 

[stosh]

Hey you think the guy looking at porn was your bother, he's got that rep.

 

[dh girlie]

HAHAHAHAHA!

I would think that libraries would have porn blocked?

 

[bigginsis]

Is there a policy against surfing porn at your library?

yep. and it is posted on each monitor.

 

[I Are Baboon]

yep. and it is posted on each monitor.

You guys need to install something like Websense then.

 

[bigginsis]

Hey you think the guy looking at porn was your bother, he's got that rep.

very true but I think he has enough sense to keep it at home!

 

[bigginsis]

You guys need to install something like Websense then.

we don't filter - we're medical/health sciences and most filters wind up screening out potentially useful web sites. for example, if they screen using words, then any legitimate searching for breast or penis or any other acceptable term is eliminated.

as a general rule, most libraries support NOT filtering. most public libraries and most school libraries filter because they have to - we'll cut your funding unless you install filters kind of deals. kind of like RM having to monitor posts to keep the ad people happy.

ooo - you're good...made me blush just a tiny bit

You sound like you speak from experience!

 

[JRB]

Peeps used to do that same thing in the base library at Randolph AFB. I would bust them out loud when I caught them. It mostly pisses me off since there are little kids walking around. I may even give it up at home this makes me so mad.

Don't encourage him.

It's like feeding wild animals. Give 'em what they want once and they won't ever leave you alone.

Your library-porn friend probably just watched one too many porn movies, and thought real life was just like porn - if he broke the rules, the naughty librarian would come over and give him a spanking

 

[stosh]

You mean the one time his sister and I had done a smiliar thing together?

 

[stosh]

Why making fun of my jokes then using them yourself?

Mmmmmm... naughty librarians....

 

[llkoolkeg]

So...was PeeWee playing pocket billiards or did he raise the purple flag for all to admire?

I hope he brought Windex & a squeegee!

 

[Honeywell]

What exactly is the policy? If you're a publically funded university I would think that you couldn't block it all together.

Around here looking at porn in a public library is legal, if they blocked it it would be a violation of free speech. And if the person next to you doesn't like it, the librarian can only suggest that person move.

And no, I don't have any first hand experience with this my friend used to work in the public library.

 

[binary visions]

It's not a violation of free speech. If it were an adults-only library, it might be, but there are kids around so of course they can say you're not allowed to look at porn.

Your friend is full of it...

Yeah I figure if someone's going to do that in public, then they deserve to get busted for everyone to hear. In my mind, he gave up his right to privacy when he sat down and started watching streaming video of anal sex right in front of my office window. Nothing like seeing that when you're trying to answer a doc's email about some new medicine...

There's medicine for that?

 

[bigginsis]

There's medicine for that?

not yet but if there ever is you can bet a woman invented it!

i should have gone on the PA system and shouted HAND CHECK!

 

[narlus]

did you ask mr townshend for an autograph?

 

[dh girlie]

did you ask mr townshend for an autograph?

I guess I missed where she said it was kiddie porn?

Or did he get busted for whacking it in a public library and I missed THAT?

 

[narlus]

neither.

 

[dh girlie]

neither.

You weren't speaking of the guy in the Who that was busted for kiddie porn?

 

[bigginsis]

this dude was NOT looking at kids - if he had been i just would have called the po-po

and no he was not pleasuring himself thank god - i can see me now calling housekeeping to clean that up.

 

[narlus]

You weren't speaking of the guy in the Who that was busted for kiddie porn?

i was.

 

[DHS]

damn, i'd kick that guys ass for looking at my mistress...

hey you gonna be home later, i was thinking of cleaning the pool.....

Think again. By blocking access to pornography sites the library is basically taking away the first amendment right for the owner of that particular site. The library can't filter legal content, that's like telling all the authors of books with swear words in them that they are pulling them off the shelves because parents complained. Now, if they put filters on the kids computers then that's not a violation of free speech as the kids aren't even of age to view the material.
