Do all Americans agree with stripping in movies ?

Then why are we wearing clothes after thousand years after human history ?

Do you get naked when you go on the streets ?

Im with you... I'm not restrained by anything that would make me against this, but I honestly do not like nudity in movies. I think it's degrading and stupid.

Just my 2 cents

But those who make the movies think the other way.

It is a tool in their hands and they have much agendas to put in their investments.

It's really none of your business.

I want to know people's idea and here is a free place to discuss those.

And I don't see movie industry leave people alone.

Every day with new agendas and new futurology hidden in the movies.

I've had enough of those predictions and agendas hidden in the movies.

And I think here is a good place to discuss what those illuminated screens are doing to our daily lives.

and the reason it bothers you and not them is because we are two seperate cultures with different thought patterns.

So , I think I could use some input and know them better.

First let me say this is a really interesting post and I enjoyed reading it. I watch a lot of movies and I personally think nine times out of ten the nudity and sex scenes aren't necessary. My 16 year old daughter and I both enjoy horror movies and its hard to find many that aren't full of sex-believe me, while I'm no prude I find it disturbing to be watching a movie with my daughter and seeing that. I'm certainly not trying to speak for every American but I for one don't like it.

So , thank you for replying and I don't speak for every Iranian neither.

I dont think thats unreasonable to want to know that. But everyone has differing opinions on what is acceptable and what isnt. And I think some got the wrong idea of what I was trying to say-if nudity is necessary to the story then thats ok-but I dont like all the sex scenes in the movies -and yeah my daughter and I watch horror movies thats what we enjoy and that is our right to do so. I still think it was a good post though and definately gave us something to think about.

I don't believe in the Christian God, let alone the Christian bad guy -- "Satan," so I am absolutely NOT obligated to share any strange puritanical beliefs about the naked human body.

In fact -- my hang up's -- such as they are -- are centered on violence. I believe there should be a LOT more nudity in movies and on TV, and violence should be toggled back by quite a bit.

But if you want my honest answer, "war" is the only pornography, and people who love violence but hate nudity are the scariest creatures in the entire universe. YMMV.

I say we have too different power inside ourselves that will bring us to the stage that we may regret.

1. Anger
I think most people think that war is the ugliest thing and I don't see it necessary to discuss it.


2. Lust
It is all kinds of acts or stuff that don't bring us to satisfaction and lives us thirsty for more. And today's movie and music industry is bringing human being to that state of being.

They always provide more and the viewer seems more thirsty and more mislead.

I feel like seeing nudity is less harmful than the extreme violence in movies.

I would rather my children (older kids) see breasts than gory violence.

And IMO , they are both wrong.

Also let me add most feel its ok because they are strangers stripping, if it were your mother,sister,cousin,neice,granddaughter most comments would be much different...I have a very high sexdrive yet I am in a relationship with someone who is more attractive than just about anyone you will see naked in a movie so my viewpoint is different being totally satisfied... Though before I met her I will admit to watching more porn and very happy to see naked wopmen in movies...I would guess most who want to see more have next to no attraction at home...no offense to anyone in particular...Never settle for less I learned the hard way, but a lesson well experienced.

It is the first time I agree this much with one person.

I have seen my animal being shouting and wanting violence and slut. When I free that beast it would eat my mind and I will be a slave.

I rather like it chained that setting it free.

God blessing and peace.

When it is Jessica Biel
everyone agree

I disagree, why choose less of an evil? And you shouldn't write off Jesus due to being catholic, they lost credibility by not keeping thje Sabbath long ago..

I have not always believed Jesus to be the true God of the world but in my adult life I have opened my eyes to see our whole society is set up to deny Him and Him alone..Sorry to turn the thread elsewhere but this is a fact that I have come to realize without outside persuasion and by the looks of world events it sure does seem like scripture in real-time..

Sorry bud, but I never said anything of the kind. What I said is that I did not like fairy tales after my experience with the Catholic church. I didn't say anything about Jesus, you did. I have been a believer my whole life, I just don't believe in organized religion. It is and always will be counter-intuitive to spiritual development.

Would appreciate you putting the words in someone else's mouth, not mine. You aren't qualified!

Well you should have cleared up what you meant by fairytales. I would also disagree to catholic fairytales, it is the beast false religion spoke of in revelation, not to come off as too scriptury. You are however right to your opinion.

I don't have a problem so much with nudity in of itself. It is more of the continued bombardment in entertainment to make thje youth especially tolerant of its promiscuity and if I had a daughter the last thing I would want is for her to get the message public nudity is no big thing. With the plethora of strip clubs that litter the land, its this early programming that is the underlying initial cause imo. Like you mentioned Disney if you are aware of the kid singers involved in it and the people they grow up to be it is clear perversion. Miley Cyrus and her father seem just a little too close if you ask me.

Most Americans don't seem to have a problem with nudity in movies, or on TV for that matter. Box office sales, and cable subscriptions speak loud and clear on that. It's usually the minority that raises all the hell about it. And usually get their way if the number of "banned" shows, commercials, and billboards are any indicator.

And to add another line to this post.

Just because some minority is offended doesn't necessarily a reason to censor. Sometimes we should simply stand up and look sternly at them and say: "Go away with your silly notions".

Just look at all the tv-programs where signs on walls and whatnot are blurred out or pixelated NOT because of offensive language but merely because there is a product name or a company name. Or rather - we can see the McDucks gold M, but we can't see the name of a company selling soft drinks.

I was tempted to say "Free will", but that would be a cheap shot. Although it wouldn't be the first incident where humans went against the will of God.

Equally I was tempted to mention that Eve covered up after eating from the apple. In other words - until then God wanted them naked.

God even forbade them to eat the fruits of this very particular tree (that would make you cover your naked body)

In other words - if we really want to bring Christianity into this, we should look down on people wearing clothes as this is expressly against God's will.

But in all fairness we can't take everything in The Holy Bible litterally. We just can't seem to agree on what parts are crap and what parts are OK.

And also since most people in society generally not as attractive, it gives people what they are missing at home.

Isn't it funny how people see things differently?
One of the major qualities of most films made outside the US is that they have genuine actors in them. Some of them are downright ugly, but they are like people in real life and that's what makes it OK.

A lot of us want films that portray real people that we can relate to.

That is why people are addicted to the recent HBO shows. My girlfriend is supermodel hot and just about the sexiest thing alive so I don't have that problem..

Aren't you the lucky one? Or not. The mere fact that you consider it a problem not having a supermodel hot sexy partner is sad and pathetic.

And for those who do not know the text from The Holy Bible:

Genesis
016:
And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
017:
But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

From this you can see that the very first commandment in The Holy Bible is all about not eating from the tree.
We now have considerable arguments of what is good and what is evil.
It changes. It has throughout the times. In the middle ages it was considered against God's will to bathe and be clean.

No, pay attention...I am actually attracted to the one I am with, therefore don't need porn and sex scenes to get off to.

Don't dissect my post and distort it I never said I want attractive actors in movies, my point was attractive actresses are used to sell the movie in many countries, not my opinion, its a tactic they use repeatedly and if you read the title of the op was what I was referring to.

Maybe God told you to be with a fat unattractive slob and live your life in a sexless misery like many people do but he didn't tell me that so don't hate. She is also extremely intelligent, independent and my little cuddlebunny...God blessed me in every way possible, always in his debt

God gave us a device and instruction to how to use it.

Some people choose to use it in bad ways , some people neglect it (some times necessary) , some people use it as their mind tells them.

And maybe god bless you with higher and better things , too.

It is a pleasure to have your comments on my thread.

So , thank you.

I am Muslim and I am not much familiar with what bible says.

But in Qur'an I have read their dress was taken and ....

I think people should take this life more seriously.( in all religions)
