its fine to have your own opinion blob, just dont push it on the rest of us like you know the answers to who came first chicken or egg. i'm trying to help you man, dont take it the wrong way, your posts just come out a bit condescending and i dont think you're that type of guy...me, fishmike and marv were actually talking about you on saturday night & the uniqueness you bring to the board
so step it up son!
as for the topic at hand, its funny how the US is stamped as conservative, middle america ruling, etc but those are some of the same cats that are engaged in the kinkiest of ****.
my family reigns from greece and i spent all my summers there growing up. nudity was accepted. if a chick wore a top at the beach, people would look at you like you were the wierdo. plus, nudity is on mainstream tv there as well....and let's not talk about some of the stuff going on on asian tv - those dogs are flat out nuts w what they show & do on public tv. point is, i think its a matter of where you are socialized. personally, i have mixed feelings about posing nude. dont think morality has anything to do with it, but i wouldnt want to see my wife or daughter naked in a mag for all the rest of the world to see.
with all that said, i've been through the alba thread front to back so many times, i can tell you what page each hottie is on.
