These are also selling great.

We’ve removed one image from the post above because it featured artwork on a single coaster that intentionally targets a specific group of people. We removed this image to keep it civil, as per our FAQ, specifically the ‘Always Be Civil’ portion:

That’s nonsense. What group is this image intentionally targeting? This image will be in the Smithsonian Museum, as it is historic. Thanks for the censorship. It seems you have the problem with being civil.
Message me privately with the blocked image. I may be able to explain why.
Have to say from passed experience the cecorship is a bit harsh. Good job the BBC didn’t follow your guide lines or we would not see many programs. Merry Christmas (sorry happy holidays) to all on here.
What works for the BBC does not apply to every situation. Here, the basic rule is to play nice. If you do not like the rules, do not post. That is your right.
Play Nice: What we tell children to do, but often fail to do ourselves. If we had more play nice, there would be less misery in the world.

I’m not against censorship, far from it. What some people define as play nice is hard to say as the modern world has a different outlook now to when I was a youngster. I loved my little hand made dolly, not allowed to use it’s name, and loved his image on my marmalade. Keepet me happy for years. There’s little left now days that don’t offend someone somewhere. Where do you draw the line???

You don’t draw the line until you define it.
Unacceptable today, should have been when I was a kid.
- Saying something that made a person feel humiliated, belittled, embarrassed, or less of a person. When I heard “Just kidding!”, I knew it was a lie.
- Saying something negative about a person to make yourself feel better. This is not the same as warning one person about another.
- There is a difference between teasing for fun because you like someone and teasing to be cruel. Some people cannot tell the difference.
- Pointing out someone’s sex, religion, ethnic background, or physical characteristics in an unflattering way… People that do this often do it to inflate their own ego at the expense of another.
My girlfriend made a comment about our friend being an alcoholic. She then started crying when she realized what she blurted out. That is what I am talking about.
Okay, stepping off the soapbox now.

That’s a tough one, because many things that we are supposed to accept today were not acceptable 50 years ago. Some good, and some not so good. I try to focus on the things that I like to do. Make designs and play a lot of golf 
How many times do you think people have told me I am wasting my time doing both

Look at the size of that fist! He sure must have big hands. Very impressive!
Also, as a former bartender, and a current spouse of someone who just spent a fortune on a coffee table, I feel obligated to point out that coasters are meant to contain or absorb condensation from your beverage. Wall tiles accomplish neither. Which means they were created with a different purpose in mind.
