Sure, but the whole situation of there suddenly being a fuss is on him then, not on the other people who are just going about their daily life.

 

Of course, i was just giving an example of a possible situation. And here is another one. Why is it not acceptable to walk naked in public? Because it offends people. If there is a naked man (or woman) walking freely in Holland will they arrest him for inappropriate behaviour? He is just minding his own business. 

 

Two men kissing isn't commenly accepted and people get offended by it. The difference is there is no law against it and the cops won't come. They can kiss all they want in public, if they have no problem with the amount of scandals and cursing they would receive.

Because children don't need to be exposed to random people's genitals, which is rather different than two random people simply kissing like (one can assume) any couple does.

As you see - there is no difference if the man is walking naked or a woman - they both would be arrested. So if man can kiss a woman, what's more there is no offence when a woman kisses a woman, then why a man can't kiss another man?

I sort of feel "Gossip Girl" was a big hit in Poland.:p 

Never heard of it. But the country is based mostly on gossips, so...

Ancient Olympians weren’t familiar with those principles :p

Things that are socially acceptable change over times. Roman Emperors used to hold public orgies with heavy drinking for days. Not gonna happen anymore. Every orgy with a politician involved will happen behind closed doors. Public urinating into sewers? Neah, off the board (unless you're drunk at 3:00 am and don't give a damn). Slavery. Oh boy, that one hang around for centuries. Can't have that anymore in the so-called civilized world.

Again, goes both ways. Why should children be exposed to behaviour, which is not in our culture and has not been accepted by the majority of the nation? 

 

 

PS. Should have been in bed already. Damn me for joining the politics thread late at night. :d

You sir, have not seen my parties :p (This is 100% a joke, I’ve never even held hands with a girl/guy, so orgy would be a rather large step)

 

This whole statement shows that you’ve never been to SoCal :p (except the slavery part. We never endorsed slavery, and we don’t joke about that)

And...Hello Sanders as the democratic nominee :p

People a rather upset about this, and rightly so. Though it’s a political tactic I quite like. It’s just not the time for it.

    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
    • Sinner probably won't play in another edition of the Davis Cup. That shouldn't come as a surprise. Next season, Wimbledon and maybe Paris should be the goal.
    • No, our epee was good always, we have Shemyakina, who was Olympic Champion in 2012, Reizlin with bronze in 2020, medalists of Worlds like Kryvytska (who is our finisher today), Svichkar (who is our finisher in men's side) and Stankevych, European champion Kharkova, medals in other conpetitions from men's team epee who were one of the main contenders in Tokyo, but unfortunately failed to take a medal. 
    • Does Ukraine have good relations with Poland, or are they more cold, like, for example, Italy with France?
    • Until recently, Ukrainian fencing was just Kharlan and sabre. Maybe epee sometimes. I don't remember them ever was strong in foil. There was a time when Russia, Romania and Poland were strong in foil at that time when Italy dominated but I don't remember Ukraine anymore.   Hungarian women with Aida Mahomed were too strong for many years.
    • No surprise with Aaron Judge winning AL MVP and Shohei Ohtani winning NL MVP awards.   Ohtani is the second player in history to win MVP in both leagues. Frank Robinson (1961 Reds & 1966 Orioles) was the only one before.
    • Ukraine twice in one day defeated Italy and France, like what the heck?
