'specially the ones who look better with a little covering. Not a prude here, not by any means, but I am one who looks around and is VERY thankful for clothes and laws that make you put something on.

Maybe they're trying to raise kids that don't equate nudity with naughty, dirty sex. Maybe they like the idea of their children getting a good look at all kinds of body types (obviously enjoying themselves and not concerned with all the people with think they're fat and saggy) and not just the ones ones beautiful enough for tv and magazines.

I agree with Coign, it seems like most people are more concerned with children seeing nudity and love than violence and hate. I don't understand that.

Jinx has a point. One which have supported most of my adult life. We are so hung up on nudity and sex that the bigger issues of what we expose our kids to is missed. You rock Jinxster.

Snip(I agree with Coign, it seems like most people are more concerned with children seeing nudity and love than violence and hate. I don't understand that.) When was the last time you saw painted up machine gun murderers getting together and riding through the streets committing violence?

Oh, I haven't been to Chicago in years.

Like MTV or any number of popular video games or action movies, or did you mean live and in person?

Scriveyn · 08-06-2008, 01:52 AM

... and like Sudan (Darfur), Birma, Zimbabwe or take your pick from the middle east countries, to mention just a few.

And did people bring their kids out to watch too?

My argument to this comment is have you seen who is wielding those guns? They start them around age 14. Yeah, I think the kids are not watching because they are participating as foot soldiers.

Coign · 08-06-2008, 09:21 AM

I would be a hypocrite if I didn't say I liked violence. I am a huge fan of movies like Shoot 'Em Up, Sin City, and 300. I own a number of the GTA games. One of my favorite shows on TV is Supernatural. And when Clair from Heroes had to push her ribs back when they were sticking out of her chest, or when Peter had to pry himself off of that car with the broken piece of metal sticking through his chest? Hell who isn't a fan of violence?

But raising children around these types of violence and then to say, oh a naked person is downright evil. Granted if my child saw a naked person who was chasing them down the street, I would teach them that is bad. Just as bad as if they saw the same event and the guy was holding a large machete. But seeing a machete wielding manic on TV or seeing a naked person on TV? Is either one going to destroy the psyche of our future?

I don't mind seeing nekkid people, but these bike peeps in the photo are not particularly attractive subjects, especially being bent over like that. Not that I would look any better, mind you, but I just wouldn't have my painted parts out there to show the world.

I'm ugly AND shy.

Gravdigr · 08-06-2008, 04:28 PM

Thank God!!! After seeing the second pic, I don't feel as inadequate as I usually do after seeing things that resemble peni. And those do resemble peni, only smaller. Feels good to feel adequate, for once.:p

On nudity Vs. violence:

Remember the boob-flash at the superbowl? I was quite amused to see many people go into a pink fit (sorry

) over a glimpse of a nipple but not be at all concerned by the organised personal violence that followed. To my point of view, that's some weird priorities.

I like to watch football (of many varieties - not so keen on the US kind but nevermind). I like to watch breasts too (pretty much any variety). Love the way they bounce.

I don't think young kids should be allowed to see football until they are old enough to grasp the point about there being appropriate times and places for certain behaviour. Anyone who has tried to prevent a four-year-old from crash-tackling his little sister should see my reasoning.

The only problem I had with FlashBreast is that it was so obviously set up to get exactly the reaction that ensued. People are gullible.

And what does it do for others?
