inappropriate cache items

[+DocDiTTo]

If I found a cache containing all that stuff, I'd remove the cache and log a DNF. No cache like that belongs in the game. That's my one thing. Cross 'em all out.

 

Edit: You forgot fireworks, BTW.

Any type of religous pamphlet should NOT be in a cache.I want to geocache NOT go to church.

I would be highly offended to find a piece of paper telling me I must find god.

 

political anything as well should be removed.Dont tell me who to vote for

 

DIRECTIONS

 

-read the list.

-decide which single item seems to you to be the most inappropriate.

-post the one item to this thread. please do not editorialize; there are at least two open threads where people are editorializing.

...but without asking to remove anything, I think that it is interesting that materials intended to promote a religion have been removed, but promotional materials for smoking and drinking, both of which I have seen destroy lives, have been left in.

I apologize for the lateness of my response; I had not noticed your post upon its initial publication, and learned of it this evening only after some concerned geocachers brought it to my attention. I am sorry to hear that polonium and plutonium are not easily found as trade items in geocaches in your area. Please be advised that there are ample amounts of each to be found in our about-to-be-published Radioactive Isotope Hotel cache and that smaller quantities of each are also sometimes available as trade items or just in the local environment at the final (nuclear reactor containment housing) stage of our Psycho Urban Cache #9 - Hot Glowing Tribulations cache. Unfortunately, however, both caches are located on the East Coast. Had I known you were looking for such materials as trade items, I would have brought some along with me on my recent 10-day research field trip to Arizona last month, where much of my time, in any case, was spent harvesting radioactive ores in the desert under the hot sun; I could have left some of the radioisotope material for you as a trade item in a Tempe or Tucson area cache. Sorry that I did not know of your interest sooner. Perhaps next time I may be able to assist.

It might be radioactive but it's weak source.

but it says not accepted cache on the this thread.

would you like if some one hide $50.00 bills in each cache?

like droping a scorpion or blackwidow spider in the cache.

Not to editorialize but which Tarot deck is in the cache?

 

I am asking because older decks look like elaborate playing cards whereas modern tarot decks do not. Modern tarot cards are pictorial and clearly not playing cards, they also contain instructions for "scrying". Older decks did not necessarily include instructions for scrying.

It doesn't matter to me but some people might object to the instructions for "fortunetelling" that would be found with a modern tarot deck and have no objections to an older tarot deck.

A subset of the Tarot became modern playing cards, the Knights and Pages were combined to create the Jacks and the 22 trumps were dropped from the deck, the resuting arrangement of 52 cards is still used today.

Swords became Spades, Cups became Hearts, Wands became Clubs and Pentacles became Diamonds.

After due thought, and attempting to follow the rules, I suggest that the crayons, boxed, be removed. They melt and make a mess. I was going to suggest removing the bhagavad-gita, but I confused it with the Kama-Sutra.

Can I leave my copy of the Kama Sutra?

Being a word nerd, I do have to request that the prophylactics be returned to the cache. A prophylactic is anything that prevents disease, not just condoms. And it has not been determined that these prophylactics are, indeed condoms. Euphemisms are all well and good. Bug wipes qualify as prophylactics. (Does that mean that condoms are intended to prevent STDs, rather than pregnancy?!?)

Oh, wait a minute. I was searching for a cache in the gates of a small city park, and found a Ziploc of condoms (with free AIDS test coupon.) Wrong gate, but I left them anyway. Definitely return the prophylactics to the cache.

Next, you claim that there are two other forum threads where people are editorializing. To date, I have never seen any posters editorializing about ANYTHING on these forums in my two years here, much less editorializing about what items belong in caches, and rather, all forum threads here, in my experience, have always remained 100% on topic, with no editorializing and with zero angst. Could you steer me to these putative threads where folks are supposedly "editorializing"? Thanks!

 

Next, I would like to ask that "geocoins, trackable" be removed from the list. Handiwork of the devil. Nasty little things.

 

Finally, I petition you to add "travel bugs" to the list; I am, frankly, amazed that these strange little evil things -- handiwork of the devil -- were not included on the list from the start.
