i can accept that argument if the women were in fact not making out. but religious right has nothing to do with people saying "for fuck's sake, will you please quit fucking in front of my kids?"
oh, i'm pretty sure it's the religious influence on our society which makes something like this seem so unacceptable to people. i've always wondered why is it so much more acceptable for children to see people fighting than to see them making love. i really don't get it.
Interesting.. I am not religious nor was i raised very relgious(well I was raised in the south, but mom and dad are of different faiths) . ....and yet I don't like,people fucking in front of my kid. Not ready to explian fondling to my 3yr old anymore than I would like to explain violence.
I'm all about people fucking infront of my future kids. It will sure make explaining sex easier than going into some Birds and Bees discussion.
I don't like my kids to see violence either, that's not what this is about, Lady of the freaks.... Humans live in a society with rules. If you think people should be allowed to just fuck wherever they are, they should also be allowed to just take a shit wherever too. Why not? It's natural. We are not wild animals, lines have to be drawn and it has nothing to do with religion...it is about respect. If you think Western society rules are bad, go visit some of the poorer countries and find out how bad it is. Like people who aren't even allowed to drink water from the same pump as people "better" than them, they have to walk several miles down the road to get water instead.
yeah it is. it's all about our society's focus and basic values. our society values violence. we expose our kids to it in massive amounts. every now and then someone points it out, then we're right back to it. but a whole community will get up in arms over this? a couple of lesbians kissing is not gonna emotionally scar your damn kids. gimme a break. the town i live in is a good example. buncha kids at the high school formed a support organization for GLBT students, and all the whackos in the neighborhood are now attacking them and bullying them. it's fucked up.
Why are you so hung up on the lesbian part of it? I said I didn't care who it was, making out is making out. I don't want to see it. They were asked to stop making out, not arrested for being gay. I'm not buying the "it was just a kiss" thing either. No one would have noticed that. And speak for yourself with regards to "we expose our kids to massive amounts of violence", because I don't.
i'm really hoping they were giving each other lap dances and making out...now that would be awesome at a baseball game
The thing is, I see people making out and PDA at Phillies games all the time. All the time. And no one ever complains. And everyone I know would have def. noticed two women kissing. My stupid male mind can even sense when women brush up against each other in passing, I would def. have noticed two women being affectionate with each other (and then watched for some more). Two people of the sex that I'm attracted too in love? That's awesome to watch. hahaha.
lady of the freaks, i always love hearing what you have to say! i totally agree... the moral bullshit that goes on in this country has affected society to the point where people in love and expressing that love in public is offensive, but violence in music, tv, and everywhere else is acceptable. and i'm sorry, but gay people are here to stay, and they're not here to hide who they are so people won't have to explain gayness to their kids. that's just bullshit. and whether it's gay/lesbian couples making out or hetero couples making out... if your kids are old enough to go to a ball game, they're old enough to know about sex, so it doesn't have to be explained at the ball game. but then again, i'm all for kids knowing everything about everything and holding nothing back.
So, NTH- Say your at the ball game with your 3 yr old and some couple start grinding in front of you.. You arre all for that? I don't care if the couple is gay,staight or aquamarine i don't wanna watch them fucking in front of my kid. TO flip it-for ya- I would have the same uneasiness if the couple in front of me started fighting. I don't want my kid exposed to THAT either. Yah,sex is part of nature. but so is violence(carnivorous animals catching prey and such).. but if I can avoid those subjects HEAD ON with imaged of them at her young age- and just let he be a kid , let her play with her mylilponies- and not worry about questions like "why is he doing that with her gyna?" or "why did he hit her" ' - that'd be swell. I don't think THAT POV has anything with religious right I am pretty damn far from religious right on most subjects.
so if a brawl breaks out on the field, like it did last night with the redsox, whose going to leave the game because of the violence? i wish Crisp hit the pitcher with his bat that'd been awesome
um. no. i think it's amazing that one is automatically classified as a right wing christian hetero prude for not wanting people to be making out in front of her small children at a ball game. i don't want people beating the crap out of each other in front o my kids at a ballgame, either. in FACT, i don't want people taking a piss and crapping in front of my children, at a ball game either. for fuck's sake, i'm about as far removed from gay hating prude as it's possible to get. just respect the people around you, respect their boundaries. YOU LOSE NOTHING.
dude, i'd be so embarassed. i would, in fact, cover my girls eyes. the most violent thing they've ever seen is scooby doo.
seriously though, the only thing that has ever bothered me at a baseball game were the drunk folks. i've seen plenty of hardcore making out, i've seen fights in the stands...but it still doesn't distract me from the game at hand. the drunks...they do, but its more in a "ha-ha funny kinda way" where i hope they fall down the stands and off the balcony type distraction....because then, then that would be fucking something to actually be concerned about where i'd stop paying attention to the game i paid good money for...because the drunk falling off and dying would be priceless
fucking drunks. as it is, i've nevr taken my daughters to a ball game other than little league. apparently people can't be counted on to behave themselves in public.
you don't have to be a card-carrying member of the moral majority to have your thinking affected by the religious influence in your society. i think we need to go back to the way of the Goddess, in which sex is an openly accepted part of religion and daily life. it's much healthier than what we have going on now. making love is a good and healthy thing no matter who is doing it....and that is what we should be teaching our children.
