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

Because the chance of seeing two people kiss being harmful is significantly smaller than the chance of seeing some rando's genitals being harmful.

 

PS: you shouldn't be in bed, you should be working through the shitshow that is Van Gerwen - Aspinall :p

Roman Emperors used to hold public orgies with heavy drinking for days. Not gonna happen anymore.

Said a citizen of the country, where the head of the Supreme Audit Office was renting a hotel rooms with hourly counting to the mafia's prostitutes.

Because children don't need to be exposed to random people's genitals

While people resting at sea are often exposed to random children's genitals and parents don't get any punishment for that as it seems to be socially acceptable.

Something I've never understood :p (although it's been ages since I've been to a beach, because, you know...beach. Yuck. Apart from a short beach walk in Brazil which was enjoyable because there were barely any people)

This is going to be a highly unpopular opinion, but whatever. Seeing someone naked isn’t necessarily a bad thing. People lived for centuries without clothing and existed just fine. I do think though, that in this day and age, it is absolutely insanely inappropriate to be naked in public. However, it is an interesting point.

Again, it’s a dick (or testicles, vagina, breasts, or ass) Surprise! It’s not going to rock your world, we’ve all seen one. I don’t think people should be flaunting them around, especially if people really don’t wish to see it, but it is actually a very interesting argument here.

I agree. My point is there are, sadly, a lot of children who've had certain bad experiences and this might bring up some bad traumas. Way more than seeing two people kiss.

Yes, absolutely this. Plus some people can feel very self deprecating about their bodies, and seeing other people’s could be very disturbing.

My point exactly - people are getting angry with some natural things like nudity, kissing people while they don't care about much nastier things like pictures of aborted fetus against the entrance of the hospital (yes, welcome to the all-Catholic Poland once more).

    • really sad when you win a olympic medal 3 years later and no one cares Of course it will be registered and so on, but all those moments of joy etc are gone. Yes its first Croatian wrestling medal since independence, but there was a medal won for Yugoslavia by Croatian.

    • Surely they will unless I am missing something. 
    • So, will they appeal to CAS like in Sinner case?
    • https://www.skysports.com/tennis/news/12110/13262332/iga-swiatek-five-time-grand-slam-champion-accepts-one-month-suspension-in-doping-case Cwnt see WADA not overturning this. One month for a banned substance is very low even for accidental consumption. I’ve only ever heard that short for something banned only in Competition and therefore not seen as fully doping. . 
    • big big news regarding Olympic bronze medalist and two time World Champion  Zurabi Datunashvili   https://ita.sport/news/the-ita-acknowledges-cas-add-decision-sanctioning-wrestler-zurabi-datunashvili-for-anti-doping-rule-violations/   to be honest everything was suspicious about this guy, his sudden improvement since 2021, his body, his sudden retirement in 2023 . its great to see him finally getting caught.   they will reallocate the medals later after the end of the process but his Olympic bronze will go to  Ivan Huklek, I think that will be the first ever wrestling medal for Croatia   his 2021 World title will go  Maskevich and the 2022 gold goes to  Bisultanov Bisultanov will benefit more than anybody else, he also gets a bronze from 2021 and  Kessidis will get a bronze from 2022.
