full out sex is NOt acceptable, however there is nothing wrong mild nudity. "kids" see more then that on the streets these days.

I used to know a girl who's parents were were under the age of 13 when she was born. Her father was 12 and her mother 11 at the time she was born.

More sex. Less violence.

Yeah. In N.A you show a breast in a movie and its rated R. Cut it off with a sword and its PG 13.
Europe generally has lower levels of violent crime and teen pregnancies, so whatever causes those problems, its not TV anyway.

I'm going to say almost everything the Japaneses have. Their cars, toys, electronics, and whatever else that I find cool over there! I WANT my Nissan Skylines, Toyota Supras, Integra/Civic Type R, STi's, Evo's, and Silvias (Not 240s). I don't care about USDM, I want JDM. :irate:

I lived in Iwakuni for 3 years and they do have some cool gadgets, but the first thing I saw was a kid wearing a Michael Jordan jersey and Air Nike shoes. They love western stuff too. Went to Disney Tokyo and they are freaks for Mickey Mouse!

Whats the big deal? Kids suck on their moms nipples til they're like 3 or 4, how is it going to scar them if they see one on tv a few years later?

Sweden's supposed to be this sex-crazed hell, but they have about a quarter as many teen pregancies and probably a lower divorce rate and fewer broken homes and fewer single-parent families (N.A is nuts, like a 50% divorce rate. That has to be one of the highest in the world).
If sex or no sex on tv makes all that much difference, how do you explain that?

Now, speaking of rape, do you know what I wonder? I wonder is there more rape at the equator or the north pole? These are the kind of things I think about when I'm sitting home alone and the power goes out.

I wonder is there more rape at the equator or the north pole. I mean per capita, I know the populations are different. Most people think it's the equator, I think it's the north pole. People think it's the equator because it's hot down there, they don't wear a lot of clothing, guys can see women's tits, they get horny and there's a lot of ****ing going on. That's exactly why there's less rape at the equator. Because there's a lot of ****ing going on.

You can tell there's a lot of ****ing at the equator, take a look at the population figures. Billions of people live near the equator. How many Eskimos do we have? Thirty? Thirty five?

No one's getting laid at the north pole, it's too ****ing cold. Guys say to their wives, "hey tonight honey, huh, tonight, huh?"

"Are you crazy? The wind chill factor is three hundred below."

These guys are deprived. They're horny. They're pent up. Every now and then...p-pmm...they bust out, they got to rape somebody.

So true

But kids are still influenced by what they hear on the radio and watch on TV and read in magazines

Uncensored TV just seems wrong for anyone under 18

Even if I've taught my kid right I wouldn't want them seeing nudity on TV

How about a middle ground, like charging a daily tax to drive in a highly populated area (like Londons 8 pound/day congestion fee)

Sorry, got away from the subject for a little while. :)

Not a bad idea, but personally, I'd like to see people charged on the weight of the vehicle. That is what does the damage, and it is fairer to motorcycle owners and environmentally conscious car owners. In that scenario, a Porsche owner would pay less tax than a H2 owner. Which is fair. The Porsche driver is doing less damage. A Prius driver would pay less than either, and a Honda rider would pay the least.

You do realize you were born naked, and that you bathe in the nude? Nudity is not in and of itself an issue, unless you make it one. This country has a puritanical streak for some odd reason. So we get embarrassed and flustered about being naked or seeing others naked. But that IS the way we came into this world. It IS as natural a thing as can be. It IS how God made us.

So are you then saying Gods work is disgraceful? How can that be?

Does the name "Terry Schiavo" ring any bells? Remember that?

The problem isn't that we aren't religious enough. The problem is we're letting public policy be guided by simplistic moral views without any thought to the consequences.

This is how people end up forcing a woman to carry a baby to term only to kill it because she can't afford it's medical care. In case you hadn't noticed, we're almost at that point. And that is squarly the fault of the GodSquad/Bushies.

We wear clothes for a reason.

It's illegal to be nude in public for a reason.

Out of curiosity, what would that be?

Granted that there's a good part of the population that looks better clothed but I fail to see what it has to do with morals. Just my opinion is all..
