Are you and the OP related, or s(he) just a groupie?loseyourname said:Remember what happened to CBS when they accidentally aired half a second of one nipple? They can show all manner of violence, foul language, and gruesome death and destruction, but God forbid they show half a second of partial nudity. Think about the children!

I recognize and sympathize with your frustration, does it occur to you that you are also part of a moral majority? Not on this issue, no, but there are surely 50,000 issues that the country does that you DO agree with, and you sure want the country to oblige.

That's priceless.
EDIT: Hey guys, I'm new here. I'm digging the site a whole lot, there's a huge amount of knowledge on these boards. I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of a rules thread, or anything else I need to be aware of to make sure that I'm keeping within the expectations of this board?
Evo said:It's the "moral majority", they tell the rest of us what we can see and do. Religious groups carry out bogus letter writing campaigns to networks and government officials to control what we watch on tv. I'm serious, I had a high school friend that went nuts and became a "born again Southern Baptist" and made me crazy until I went to one of their prayer meetings. The meeting topic that night was to organize a letter writing campaign to get the tv comedy "Soap" taken off the air. The preacher said that every one letter to the network was considered to represent 10,000 similar views from the public. There were letter templates, so members didn't have to think of anything to write. They were told to do as many as they could, with different names and the church clerks would be mailing them from different locations.
I was disgusted.
I guess sometimes in order to prevent corruption you need to encourage corruption. Hm, I will ponder that.Evo said:They were told to do as many as they could, with different names and the church clerks would be mailing them from different locations.

There are several historical and cultural reasons for the taboo surrounding nudity in American culture. One of the main reasons is the influence of Puritanism, which emphasized modesty and abstinence. Additionally, America has a strong capitalist culture that often objectifies and sexualizes the human body, leading to discomfort and shame around nudity. Furthermore, the media and popular culture often portray nudity in a negative or sexualized manner, reinforcing the taboo.
The taboo on nudity can have a negative impact on individuals in American society. It can lead to body shaming and insecurities, as well as a distorted view of what a "normal" body should look like. This can also contribute to a lack of body acceptance and self-esteem issues. Additionally, the taboo can limit individuals' freedom of expression and self-expression, as well as restrict their ability to fully embrace their own bodies.
No, the taboo on nudity is not unique to American culture. Many other cultures also have strict norms and taboos surrounding nudity. However, the degree and specific reasons for these taboos may vary from culture to culture. In some cultures, nudity is seen as a form of art or expression, while in others it is heavily stigmatized.
Yes, there are potential benefits to breaking the taboo on nudity. By challenging societal norms and promoting body positivity, individuals can feel more comfortable and confident in their own bodies. This can also lead to more open and healthy discussions about body image and self-acceptance. Additionally, breaking the taboo can help combat objectification and promote a more equal and respectful society.
Breaking the taboo on nudity requires a collective effort from individuals, institutions, and society as a whole. This can involve promoting body positivity and acceptance, challenging societal norms and stigmas, and educating people about the harmful effects of the taboo. Additionally, supporting and embracing diverse forms of self-expression can help break down barriers and promote a more accepting and inclusive culture.
