Sometime in the past (maybe recently), a famous 18yr old actress working for Disney took a 'naturist-style' nude picture of herself for private reasons. Someone apparently stole the pic and leaked it over the net, and some of the reactions really shock me. It's as if the poor girl has to be ashamed of herself for taking a nude picture of herself and some even saying that they will forbid their daughters to watch her performances due to that picture. Out of curiosity I checked it out and yea, it's the typical non-sexual naturist pic. It's none of their business and it's not her fault it got leaked, it's the leaker ... duh! Why are so many Americans so ashamed of the human body? Why do parents prefer to show their kid a rated R violent thriller or terror movie rather than a much cleaner movie which happens to have a scene where you see a woman's breasts? Why is this naked picture bigger news than important science/politics news around? "Good job son, you decapitated that guy with the axe. You're good at this game! oh wait, is that a nipple? turn this garbage off and don't play it again" Slightly off topic: Sexuality. Why do parents try to protect their children to know about sexual education? They're going to learn eventually anyways, and it's better to teach it in school or in a family discussion rather than the kids learning in a very wrong way: (internet pornography, etc) |

Would the country be better with no political correctness or the level we have now? I personally don't like PC but it sure deters a lot of trouble. People need to relax but the problem is where do you set the line? If we say the picture was no big deal, then the next one is a little worse and so on before there are no boundaries. It just isn't black and white and the religious people and the people who don't want anyone to ever be offended are going to have their say to the point where people just want them to shutup or go away so they give in. If Disney does nothing, this should blow over. But will they be able to weather the storm? I hate that crap they put out but I have no beef with the girl and I am sure she is mortified with this and I feel bad for her. But then again, maybe it was a publicity stunt. Worse things have occurred. ------------- Biggles was in rehab last Saturday |

I think you are mixing political correctness with social repression. The religious right in the U.S. is in general so blatantly contradictory it is hard to ever see tham embracing any sense of logic. I find it amusing that people who find themselves on a higher moral ground because of an alledged spiritual awareness become so deeply distraught over the human physical form.
And "slippery slope" is a logical fallacy. Artistic nude photos/paintings leading to hardcore pornagraphy is no more likely than choosing a firm matress over a pillow top will eventually lead to sleeping on a bed of nails. ------------- https://www.last.fm/user/Tapfret" rel="nofollow">  https://bandcamp.com/tapfret" rel="nofollow - Bandcamp |

oh yippie... nothing like jumping up on the soap-box after a hard days work hahhaha that sums it up.... Just blame it, as I do, on the lunutic right and their damn evangelicalism. It's ok to decry sin and immorality for others.... but who is it that often gets caught with their pants down. This country has always .... from day one ... had a purianical streak. Not to mention a healthy dose of hypocrisy. It's fine to say what others can and can't do... as long as it doesn't apply.. or affect them. Sex .. of all forms is natural... and nothing is more natural than the human body. Lord knows though.... I'll be the last person you'll see prancing around town in the buff. I'd get laughed out of town... but I don't understand what people's hang-ups are with sex. oh well. ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

The US is sexually retarded. I don't know if it's totally religions' fault, but I can't think of any other culprit now. Sex that is demeaning to any participant should be kept private from the general public, but still avaliable. And child porn and beastiality should definitely be outlawed, but other than that, no one should tell you what you can't do with another person sexually. As long as everyone's happy, go for it.
Nudity is the most natural state of being. The human body is to be admired, not shunned, unless in such cases when it is grotesque to look at (morbidly obesce, etc). ------------- http://soundcloud.com/drewagler" rel="nofollow - My soundcloud. Please give feedback if you want! |

ooo a good ol' us bashing type thread! love these
*cuts to bald eagle crying flame with "god bless america" playing softly and american flag billowing in background*
but yes, Americans, the first ones that is, were Puritans, which would be a fitting start to the nation
there are many contries (essentially all of them), with better sensibilities in the matter (to name a few the UK, and Japan)
because since nudity is so taboo in america, the ultimate counter-culture way of protest, and easy was to shock and disgust in america is nudity (anyone remember janet jackson circa the superbowl a few years ago?, I thought it would be the LA Riots all over again). Without people having it, it is in to display nudity and sexuality (despite the fact many of these so called protesters do it in a very blatant, untasteful manner)

Americans are prudes. Sex is a natural thing. I attribute much of it to religious teachings of the past/present. The Bible, in the old testament Garden of Eden tale, says to us that nakedness is shameful. Why? If were weren't supposed to be naked, then why are we born that way?

The worst thing of all is that sex drive is so repressed that it always escapes in violent and intense bursts at like parties and other things like that. The inhibition of sex just leads to a general hypersexuality in rebellion, well not even in rebellion, more like "because it's fun and naughty." It's a forbidden fruit, and we Americans eat as much of it as possible. -------------  <font color=white>butts, lol[/COLOR] |

I can attest to the first post. When I grew up, my parents forbade me from seeing PG-13 movies with sexuality but I could watch full R movies like Terminator and Predator (I was a big Arnold fan back before acting ability factored into my criteria ). Looking back, it would have been no big deal to see sexuality or even R-rated nudity. It is far more harmful to a child repressing the human body and endlessly discussing it on the news than just seeing some nudity.

..and this is what is wrong with mankind. It's not just an American affliction. Violence is completly acceptable, but sex is frowned upon. Violence is now entertainment. We can sit watching the tea time news, watching images of people shot to ribbons in war zones, dead children being loaded onto trucks in Baghdad and we think 'ooh, it's terrible isn't it' But, if we saw a pair of knockers and a ladies front garden on South Today, the BBC's switchboard would light up like a Christmas tree, and the proles would be writing to the MP's in disgust. It's a funny old world. Perhaps if our social evolution takes us to a place where violence is actually deemed unacceptable, there would be less killing in the world.

Offspring sucks.

Aha! I suspected as much -- thus my reference to the singer's girly necklace....Re the link to their song, that was not mine, of course (mine appeared above that). My link was for a much older, funnier, better-sung song. I get a real kick out of the ditty, especially the "yip yip yip yip um mum mum mum" vocals, and I love the dancing audience members.
(It makes for a good stock, silly reply to unflattering or whining posts.)
And OK, I'll admit it -- the periodic table posting was completely random and meaningless, and designed only to confuse.
Seems it worked!
Glad to see you take it in good humour!  ------------- "And, has thou slain the Jabberwock? Come to my arms, my beamish boy! O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!' He chortled in his joy. |

Nudity, (he typed, trying to steer this thread back in the direction of "on topic").
Living in the Netherlands, it never ceases to amaze me just how hung up the US gets about it. Here, virtually anything goes. It's nothing to walk through Amsterdam and see a bill board poster or advertisement, featuring full frontal nudity, male and female, and you know what? No one gives a sh*t! They've been that way since the 60s and Dutch society has yet to slide into a cesspit of Sodom and Gomorrah style iniquity. In fact, the Calvinistic Cloggies are some of the most inexcitable, level headed, and broad minded people I've ever encountered.
Can't those Bible Belt prudes see? Making a fuss about nudity is what makes it shocking. Whole tribes in Africa and South America walk around stark bollock naked and no one bats an eyelid. Why aren't they all raping each other every minute of the day, or hiding behind the nearest bush? Because no one told them that sex , nudity and shame are inexorably linked, that's why. Of course, Christian missionaries and their misguided "soul saving" have tried to scupper this 'at one with nature' life style through the centuries. As said tribes are also descended from Adam and Eve, why didn't they inherit the biblical "shame" as described in Genesis? Strange, that . ------------- Perception is truth, ergo opinion is fact. |

n00bs, it takes like a 2 second google search to fing who the actress was, and 5 more seconds to find the actual pic It actually made ma hate High School Musical a little less... no just kidding Really big deal... there are hotter porn stars of the same age out there with many better pictures. Now people bitching about how terrible this pic is, but digging in their browser history will show a different story entirely Media is a business and scandals pay off well.------------- http://www.last.fm/user/ocellatedgod" rel="nofollow - last.fm |

^ well, that scene is really not very offensive ... but there are some movies which contain hard pornography and are considered to be of artistic value which seems to allow them to be broadcast on TV ... at least in Germany. The most popular of them are http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0256103/ - Intimacy and http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0194314/ - Romance . ------------- https://awesomeprog.com/release-polls/pa" rel="nofollow - Release Polls Listened to:

interesting comment about the attitude to nudity in the Netherlands - being British i come from a culture where people went to a lot of trouble to change out of their swimming costumes modestly on the crowded beach, using three hands and a towel - it must have been excruciating to witness .....
During a holiday in Austria some years ago we visited a heated indoor/outdoor swimming pool set in the mountains and snow, there were no seperate changing rooms, but mixed, and people were walking around totally starkers without a care - except the English couple still struggling with their towels in the corner!
