    Re: legos biggest mistake is... —Gary Istok
    (...) I agree completely. When I was 15 I was visiting Europe with my mother and sister. We were at my uncles house, and they had on TV a show called "Paris in Review" that showed some floorshows (like in Las Vegas) with all the showgirls topless. (...)

        Re: legos biggest mistake is... —Jeff Stembel
     (...) I agree completely, Gary, and was just thinking this the other day! I've never understood what is "wrong" with normal instances of nudity, such as bathing and dressing. We here in America are behind the times, as most media I've seen out of (...) (24 years ago, 21-Jun-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
   
        Re: legos biggest mistake is... —Adam Hoekwater
   (...) Gary, I think it's because America is a cesspool of social degeneration. Doesn't Japan hold the same prudishness? Are they number two in sex crimes? -Adam (24 years ago, 21-Jun-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
   
        Re: legos biggest mistake is... —James Simpson
     (...) And America is a prudish country how? Granted, one only hears suggestive nuances on network TV, but how many households have cable? How many people have access to pornography? Virtually all of the people that I have known who have had a (...) (24 years ago, 21-Jun-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
    
         Re: legos biggest mistake is... —Adam Hoekwater
      (...) I think this is an excellent point, but I think there is a difference between the sexual messages that American kids experience, and the ones that European cultures do. You use the word 'pornography', which I interpret as material that is (...) (24 years ago, 21-Jun-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
     
          Re: legos biggest mistake is... —James Simpson
      (...) I mostly agree with you on this point. Customs regarding modesty can genuinely differ across cultures, and be influenced by climate, history, etc. A topless woman can be attired just as modestly, given the right circumstances, as another woman (...)

          Re: legos biggest mistake is... —James Simpson
      (...) My replies: First, how can we each keep our moral spheres to ourselves? When you and I interact, or when anyone interacts, for that matter, the interactions are governed by our moral spheres of understanding regarding how the other person (...)

          Re: legos biggest mistake is... —James Simpson
      (...) This is my 4th post in this thread. I have yet to give my opinion regarding the issue of minifig decency. I have merely been debating the issue of public decency. I defer your question to someone else. I will say that I speak as a consumer (...) (24 years ago, 22-Jun-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
    
         Re: legos biggest mistake is... —Christopher L. Weeks
     Order rearranged somewhat: (...) A very good question. It is good to see that those participating in arguments require the arguments of their opponents to be supported. It may very well be that the sexual repression common to the popular culture of (...) (24 years ago, 22-Jun-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
   
        Re: legos biggest mistake is... —Jeff Johnston
   (...) Based on my experiences: no. Crayon Shinchan - a popular kids' cartoon a few years back, sort of a Japanese 'Dennis the Menace' - had plenty of nudity (male and female - animated, but still) and sex jokes. Wandering the streets of Osaka, I (...) (24 years ago, 21-Jun-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
