1. Yes I do. Thanks for asking.

My problem is I can't see it! Tell me what you see.

[loli phabay]

2. lol 4 the win

[EastKYLiberal]

3. ...

[UnrepentantLiberal]

9. You can with streaming Netflix.

My girlfriend is into watching English TV shows at the moment. Some of them show it all.

[Xyzse]

24. Really? Which shows?

I saw some, but they have it in those pixel censors.

[UnrepentantLiberal]

29. They do?

I wasn't paying attention. I'm usually on my smart phone.

[Xyzse]

32. Yep

Like Being Human the UK version has things blurred.

[Politicalboi]

4. If I lived there I wouldn't mind

As a matter of fact, hopefully some day cable companies will cater to your home. I have no children, so why should I have to watch TV with censorship for 12 year olds ALL the time? Customers should be able to choose unedited TV. I don't like porn, but watching the Daily Show with beeps is ridiculous. We ALL have to watch TV for 12 year olds.

[marybourg]

5. What's the difference what I think? Do the

Europeans have a problem with it, is the issue.

[Yo_Mama]

18. Really!!!

What business has an American political forum in worrying about nudity standards on European TV. If they are happy, well and good. If not, I think they can change it without our assistance.

The next phase of the "Ugly American" - worldwide censorship, enforced by drones????

[srican69]

6. no but I have problem with 13 ~ 15 year old sunbathing topless on public beaches

I saw this in Portugal and the girls couldn't have been more than 15

I am not a prude or anything .. but I was a bit shocked.

[upaloopa]

17. That is their culture. You were a guest. If you don't like

The culture stay away. People who grow up without our sense of modesty are not negetively effected by nudity at all.
Modesty is a learned thing.
My wife grew up in nudist family and she doesn't have that need to be modest.

[GoneOffShore]

50. Then you'd really be shocked in the south of France.

Toddlers on the beach will often be completely naked.

Mom topless.

Dad in a Speedo.

I'm shocked at American/English prudery.

[WinkyDink]

57. Notice you did not address the specific comment to which you "reply": Very young teen girls.

[SwissTony]

58. Mate, I think you're projecting

You seem to have something about very young teen girls. Depending on location, Europeans don't. It's just natural.

Who cares?...and by the way, I live in Europe.

[GoneOffShore]

61. And your point is?

Sorry, not playing.

You go have fun on your own, bless your heart.

[GreenStormCloud]

7. Their culture, their choice. N/T

[wryter2000]

8. Other

I'll leave it up to Europeans.

[LittleBlue]

10. No. Nudity doesn't threaten me

But I can't speak for my fellow citizens

[HereSince1628]

11. Nope, all the nudity I see is on a television made in China,

and it comes thru the cable just fine

[ThomThom]

12. we need to get over our puritan attitudes

it really isn't health and would desensitize us and thus lower sex crimes

[RebelOne]

13. When I was in Paris, I was sort of shocked

at the full frontal nudity even in TV commercials. But did not bother me because that was France and the people there are used to it.

[Romulox]

14. I'm pretty sure I remember seeing one of the Emanuelle films on the CBC growing up...

It was actually well done and tasteful.

[el_bryanto]

15. So long as it's not my nudity, I guess I'm ok with it.

Is this in regards to the 16 yr old stripper party?

Bryant

[UnrepentantLiberal]

19. No.

Nothing to do with that thread.

It's only about so many American's opinion that nudity and sexuality are morally wrong. You see it on the right and on the left.

[el_bryanto]

21. It's an interesting question

Where do people get the most riled up about do you think?

I'd also say that there are certain types of sexuality I am more comfortable with than others (as I suspect is true of everybody). I certainly don't mind saying "the really sexy stuff starts at 9 or 10."

Bryant

[Fantastic Anarchist]

30. LOL ... you might want to rephrase that.

I read it as 9 or 10 years old. I knew that's not what you meant, and thus my giggle.

[LadyHawkAZ]

33. I had to do a double take too!

[Fantastic Anarchist]

39. I'm at work and literally laughed out loud.

If my colleagues would have asked, I would have trouble explaining.

[upaloopa]

16. I'm a nudist and don't have much problem with

nudity anywhere as long as it is in appropriate situations.

[Fantastic Anarchist]

31. What are appropriate situations?

It's somewhat arbitrary and subjective, right?

[upaloopa]

49. At home or at other nudist home pools jacuzzi

at our club at nude beaches. Even events like Bay to Breakers in San Fran and the world nude bike ride. And on federal land if it is sort of private.
Just about any place were other people go nude.

[meow2u3]

20. I never really watched European television

So I don't really have an informed opinion.

[FarCenter]

22. No, but I have a problem with violence on American TV

[UnrepentantLiberal]

26. You can say that again.

American television is awash in the most extreme violence you can imagine. The most violent amongst us are turned into celebrities. We have a very bizarre culture.

[FarCenter]

34. And the violence is not just in movies & dramatic series, but music and music videos

[LeftInTX]

23. Let me guess? This is a problem with fundies

I could care less.

[grantcart]

25. I voted yes for one simple reason.

There is a rumor going around that Cliffodu is moving to Europe.

[Fantastic Anarchist]

27. I encourage it!

Who the hell voted yes?

[Apophis]

28. No and I think our country should stop being so damn prude.

[world wide wally]

35. Maybe we can resurrect John Ashcroft to put a curtain around Europe so our kids aren't traumatized

[UnrepentantLiberal]

40. He would if he could.

[MADem]

64. LOOK! It's an aluminum statue ..... and a boob ... standing in front of a lectern! nt

[muriel_volestrangler]

36. Is there a background to this question?

If not, it seems extremely random.

[UnrepentantLiberal]

41. Yes.

I guess as a follow up I should ask if nudity should be allowed on American television. I suspect the answers would be different.

[dipsydoodle]

45. Are you saying for example

you've never had Clockwork Orange on tv ?

[snooper2]

46. LOL, NUDITY! ROFL, 'mericans get up in arms when videos like this come out..

Could you imagine if they were, undressed!

[Gorp]

51. Well, that was sort of "Aerosmith"-like, but she does know how to move.

It's probably best that they weren't nude. Her upper-frontal-super-structures look like they sort of need the support. And the guys certainly wouldn't want to get their units stuck in guitar strings. That would be bad. Besides, it really wasn't all that risque. She clearly can't drive worth shit (given the picture of the red car). You're sort of supposed to kinda sorta be in the driver's seat, not the middle.

It's a cute song, but rather weak on message. You can sum it up as "I like female naughty bits".

[dipsydoodle]

44. I can only assume

its in preparation for the possibility of a Victorian Age Forum here.

[muriel_volestrangler]

52. Or it could be part of a series of random world arts coverage

Do you feel too much blues influence has diluted Malian music?
Do you think too much action in Scandinavian dramas takes place in bleak winters?
Does Mexican art exaggerate colour lazily, rather than to make a point?

[Tom Ripley]

37. Only during coverage of Parliament

[LadyHawkAZ]

43. You may have a point here. n/t

[Cleita]

38. I'm not in Europe so why should I be limiting their TV choices?

[WI_DEM]

42. Not if it's done tastefully

[Gorp]

47. I had to vote "yes" because we don't get European television here.

[jberryhill]

48. The all-night phone sex ads?

Yes, they are too repetitive.

[quaker bill]

53. I don't watch it

[AldebTX]

54. I'd rather my Kids see

nudity on European TV then the death and violence on American TV.

[Warpy]

55. I have no problem with nudity on television, period

We all have bodies. Only a certain variety of constipated moralist wants to deny that fact.

Unfortunately, there are a lot of those in the US.

However when TCM and FMC run movies with flashes of nudity and f-bombs left in, I feel like I'm being treated like a grown up instead of being infantilized by the type of religious nut who wants to make believe sin doesn't exist in life or in art.

It's called the remote, folks. If you are offended by anything on your TV set, change the fucking channel.

[WinkyDink]

56. I don't watch European TV.

[Democracyinkind]

59. Seen more nudity on US TV than in European....

Something linke 30 years of ecperience with the subject ... whatever

[lumberjack_jeff]

60. I can't see it from here... so no problem. n/t

[beemer27]

62. NO

If you don't like seeing naked people, quit watching them. This is not real complicated.

[MadrasT]

63. All the nudity I have seen on European TV seemed very natural

I had no problem with it

(I lived in Germany for a year)
