Why do American have so much shame when it comes to bodies and bodily functions? I will never understand this as long as I live. We are trained from birth to pretty much be ashamed of nudity and bodily functions. Almost everything that comes out of a human body appears to be something that people are ashamed of. In case anyone reading this does not already know, everyone urinates, everyone excretes solid waste, everyone has snot, everyone has spit, ear wax, releases gas, etc.. Everyone. Everywhere. This being the case, why are we forced to by society to be ashamed of these things. I am certainly not saying that I think people should walk down the street shitting and pissing everywhere, I understand the sewer system, its function, and requirement. It just seems as though if the shame associated with these things was not there, life could be so much better. You could have one massive bathroom, with no need for stalls, and the toilets could be a little bit closer together, saving more space. If you saw a guy urinating outside, it would not be a big deal. These days if you got caught pissing outside, technically, if the judge hated you, he could file your case as indecent exposure, and label you as a sex offender for the rest of your life. This has happened to young high school kids pulling a senior prank and streaking across a football field in the nude. They did this and now they are labeled as sex offenders, and can't live near a school, and have to file with the state every time they wanna do something. This is ridiculous.
I know that the thought of sitting 12 inches from someone else taking a huge dump with no wall in between sounds awful to you right now, but that is only because your tiny pea brains are programmed, essentially by the government, to think this way. My last thought here is that the only things that come out of a human body that we are not completely ashamed of in society is sweat and tears. It is acceptable to cry in public in some situations, yet not in others. It is "ok" to see people sweating in public sometimes, and sometimes not. A quick example here is that after my last hockey game, one of the guys on the team had some big sweat rings on his shirt, under his armpits, and he appeared to be a little apprehensive about going to eat chicken wings due to this sweat. Why? because he has been brainwashed by society into being ashamed of sweat.
Nudity is just as bad, if not worse in our society. I would like to hear one sane person, come up with a single solitary technical reason, why I can walk around without a shirt on, with my big old floppy man titties bouncing around, and that is perfectly OK, but the second a female lifts her shirt above the nipple line, she is committing a crime. WHY?!?!? This makes no fucking sense whatsoever. People are not born with shame. Little children do not know that society says it is "bad" for girls to walk around with no shirt on. I am not saying this because I want to see hot chicks running around with their boobs all hangin out. If every hot chick on the planet walked around like this all the time, no one would even think much of it eventually. And I am certainly not limiting this nudity thing to just hot women. I think that everyone of all shapes and sizes, colors, religions, etc.. should be allowed walk around with no clothes. If you saw a big huge nasty looking broad, and her fucked up meth head no teeth redneck husband walking down the street with no clothes on, SO FUCKING WHAT?! If you don't like it, look away.
I just think it would make the world a better place if we didn't have so much shame. You wouldn't have prejudice, bigotry, and segregation based on clothes anymore. You wouldn't have sweat shops. You wouldn't have a clothing industry at all I suppose, which would put some people out of business, but its for the greater good of mankind. I suppose there would always be a market for some types of coverings so that people could still handle the elements, but on a nice day I think people should just be free wear or not wear whatever they want, and then if they need to blow some snot, or fart, and take a dump, or whatever, they should not be made to feel ashamed of it.
Ok, so I don't want anyone to think that I am above any of this. I am clearly not. I rarely give a flying shit what anyone thinks about me, what I look like, or what I do; however, I do understand the unwritten societal rules, as well as state and local laws, and I do abide by them all, and do you know why? Because I am ashamed not to.
