Never understood how Americans got so prudish and puritanical on this topic. My wife and I go overseas enough and we love beaches. Seeing (mostly) Europeans topless is omni present. My goodness, it's really no big deal.


All the young Yanks are so liberal and progressive but they hold on to puritanical views. Never understood it....

That's not far from what people said about the group of ugly-arse women responsible for changing the law here in the '80s: Hairy, saggy, potbellied, and droopy. Baywatch babes, they weren't.

Men and women can be equally gag-worthy in the birthday suit department.

Yeah....flame on lol.
Awww, allow ME, George, THIS woman gave you points.

I wasn't talking about morality or nudity. There was a poster who stated that complaining about American prudishness was "America bashing" and seemed to feel complaining about something one doesn't like to see in their country is somehow un-American. It's actually the opposite.

No, that's simply the pan response people give. It's pretty much what fragile snowflakes say when people point out our ridiculousness.
America isn't all sunshine and unicorns.

Lol, it's like someone taking their ball home because thet can't live up to the fact that they suck at basketball.

Criticism and adversity use to motivate us to be better, now we cry and suck our proverbial thumbs and say " then live somewhere else".

We're Starbucks weenies 😭😭
