Woman sues over Janet's breast

[L233]

What's a child's natural reaction to nudity? Slight curiosity for a second or two followed by a complete loss of interest. What's a child's natural reaction to violence? Fear, anxiety, crying, nightmares - at least until the child is numbed to the sight of violence.

So people are mad because they can choose to desensitize their kids to violence by letting them watch a game featuring muscled grotesques of human beings battering the shit out of each other, but they can't have a brief moment of nudity?

I bet most, if not all, kids watching would not have noticed, or did not care, except when the adults in the room freaked out. That's probably the point when children begin to ask questions. So not the boobie is the problem, the adults are.

And that's where the "OMG think of the children!!" and "OMG they disregard the parents!!" arguments fall short.

They probably think all of the kids suddenly went

well, I didn't even realize that the superbowl was on that day (could have sworn it used to be like march/april/may) so I didn't exactly see it. but, I did see something about it on the INQ and followed a link looking to pics so I could understand what exactly happened... and when I found them I went

Now, it's not that I don't like mature women (quite the contrary, actually) but that thing was just nasty... and it's boobie wasn't much prettier

I am one American who completely, 100% agrees with you.

How young of a child are we talking here?

Nudity had a major impact on me as a little kid. I was having erections as far back as kindergarden. I was having alot of sexual emotions and feelings throughout Elementary. I started very young.

Just because a "child" might only be 5yrs old or 7yrs or 9yrs old doesn't mean they dont understand. Ignorance like that is one reason why parents fail.

Stop trying to turn things around by talking about how it doesn't effect children. Or comparing violence to nudity. Stop talking for the "people".

Not every family watches the NFL. Not ever family let's their kids play todays violent video games. Not every family lets their kids watch PG to rated R movies.

To many of you are taking this way off topic and you only look silly.

So you're trying to tell me that you were sexually aware in Kindergarten?



Sure.

 

[Stlr22]

Sexually aware meaning what exactly?

 

[Bolloxoid]

I was having erections as far back as kindergarden.

Newsflash: Fetuses are having erections in the womb.

newsflash: I had them at that age too. And it didn't hurt me one bit. However, being told that those were wrong DID hurt me. You make a good point- children that young can be aware of sexual feelings, and as such they should be tought how to embrace that side of life. Now, that doesn't mean to tell them to go around having sex. But, telling them that it's BAD and DONT DO THAT just make the kid think that they are a bad person for having those feelings. It causes a whole lot of psychological problems later.

 

[Stlr22]

Well ya really can't explain to a kid that young the moral facts of life and what self respect is and isn't.They wont undertand something that deep.

So saying it's bad isn't the best way to go, but it's probably the easiest for the parent to do at that time. It's important in that case for the parent/s to keep following up on the child as he/she get's older to understand those types of feelings and emtions, what they mean and how to handle them. But then again,all of that depends on the parent/s beliefs and what not. This is where things get very complicated now.
