To which I reiterate, why do we glorify violence so much where in Europe it is censored?
Our culture is unique, violence rules.

Topless beaches here turn into gay/lesbian beaches.

I love that in this country we let our kids play games, and watch movies where people are blown to bits, but heaven forbid little Tommy see a nipple!!!

Violence is A-OK, but a "wardrobe malfunction" is enough to send them into paroxysms of hysteria.

I already see a ton of naked B cups on the beach. Unfortunately, those people also have huge guts, back hair and are wearing Speedos.

Good point (pardon the pun), why do Europeans dig speedos?
We wear our trunks to our ankles.

We have two down there. One is private for residents only but the other is public. I've seen some you'd like to see once or twice.

Americans, as a national group are sexually repressed . I put it down to their religious teachings , and the idea that skin is somehow, dirty.

A wise man once said, you will never lose money, if you give Americans the 3 things they love most, sex, booze and gambling. .... Lucky Luciano.

In the modern era , I would add drugs, of all kinds, to that line.

In Canada, it is legal for women to be top less in public....... ANYWHERE in public, and we don't care, it's not a matter of public discourse here. Its been that way for over 20 years, in Canada.
