Question about so called American morals?

Question

Why in the US is the human body something to be ashamed of and hidden from public view while violence and killing is completely acceptable on TV and video games? Remember Janet Jackson's nipple slip cost millions. Why is American morality so screwed up compared to other countries on the planet?

Modern porn is a product of American morals. If something is hidden from view it becomes perverted.

Mr.Robot all of Europe, Canada, Australia have different morals than the US does and a lower crime rate. We're more worried about nipples than guns. If people weren't conditioned to be ashamed of their bodies and that they had to be hidden from view you wouldn't have these 12 year old girls dressed like hookers.

Answer 1

Because they are Americans, and very strange people. Notice also the responses to question on alcohol.

I think they are generally very uptight, must be all that pilgrim blood in them. They weren't exactly reknown for knowing how to throw a good party were they?. Witches in to ponds - yes. But parties - no.

Answer 2

The human body is nothing to be ashamed of...where do you get that idea? Have you watched TV? Walked down the street? 12 year old girls walk around dressed like hookers, acceptable role models for young girls are ditzy blondes that shake their *** and boobs around on TV in skimpy outfits. People just didn't want to see Janet Jacksons nipple....get over it.

How many other countries have you visited? Which countries and how exactly are they so much better than us? Violent video games sell all over the planet...Japan produces far more of them than the US does.

Answer 3

Apparently you never seen American porn. Our country has laws and individual ethics we are not one person and do not follow all the same beliefs or ideals.

What country shows nudity on public broadcasting so I can switch to that channel?

Perversion is an individual aspect. Why do people always get into the clothes debate?

I answered a question about that.

"Clothing was made to protect people from harm, elements etc..., show rank in society, and prevent people from allowing their hormones to interfere with society. It is an ethical decision. Not out of shame or guilt. Would you like your 14 year old daughter to go out with her areas showing? Would you really care to see younger people with it showing?

We symbolize nudity with sexuality and it has become a sacred act not a shameful one. Blame society if you're a nudist.

I'm sure in the when cave men we're trowing rocks at each other they realized animal skin was tough to penetrate and proved a form of protection. I'm sure shame played no part look at african and other native tribes. It is solely a society based ideal not on shame but, ethics to prevent rape, distraction, lust, protect, rank.

We value our bodies so we cover them. Why do you keep precious baseball cards in a case?" - Me

Tell me of this nude country and I'll glady check it out.


EVERY COUNTRY HAS DIRT POINT BEING? We do crazy things to get to the top survival of the fittest.

Answer 4

American values are rooted in austere, 16th century northern European protestantism, values that Europe no longer has but the U.S. still retains. Those values stressed individualism, subjugation of nature, readiness to fight, and moral prudishness - in a sense,
Americans = modern-day Puritans.

Answer 5

Some Americans are just full of ****! Janet's boob was SOOOOOOOO bad, YET, it was the most TiVo'd event ever in the history of TiVo. American is built on hypocrisy. Euros came and stole this country, put homes and business up, kicked the Natives off and moved them to Mexico.....now today "Mexicans" are called illegals....Umm....THEY were here first! See, hypocrisy at it's finest! Americans call minorities criminals, and yet the lilly white prez goes and invades a country without cause, murdering thousands...HYPOCRACY!

America is full of bonfire ********!
