OK, this case needs to be watched, but watched how ? Seems strange on a forum like this that everyone seems to temporarily adopt such a Puritanical view. I am not saying you embrace it or have taken it to heart, but many seem to be seeing things from that angle, even if on an ad hoc basis.
To presume that anything should happen to anyone in this case is to presoppose the Puritanical view, that which was held against folks like us for a long time. The very best I can say is that level of objectivity, if it is extant here, is admirable. But I am not jumping to that conclusion.
The fact of the matter is that if anyone thinks anything should happen to anyone is saying that seeing the human body naked is wrong. A crime almost, and compunded by the fact that a youngin saw it. What about all the sculptures and stuff in museums, many things in life, plus the fact that they have probably already seen it, I simply don't see where the crime is here.
Was it right ? No, but it does not meet the major criterium of any crime. Being the younin's guardian, I would probably notice this, you know a naked guy and just not react at all. Continue on our walk. Later, sans the kid I would probably walk up to the guy's door and kindly ask him to cover up, as he is visible to all. Just a towel would do. Women on the other hand...... that is a whole different subject whether people want to admit it or not. The way most people think Women are like prey. This changes the balance of things and there is no denying it.
However, I completely agree that the guy needs a talking to, and to just try to be a cooperative neighbor and grab a towel. Simple matter, while others want to make a federal case out of it.
Does a Puritan have the right to raise their own as they see fit ? Certainly. Should they be accomodatred in open society ? As much as any other. Should this guy get a towel in the morning ? Yes. Should we bend over backwards for these type of people ? As much as anyone else.
In that perspective what do you think now ? Should we shield the youngins from everything ? Now forget the museums, and don't forget about admakers and such. Marketing school will teach you if you get into a good one, the phallic symbol is a very strong allusion. Boobies work too, but must be disguised a different way.
So something overt like this with no harm intrended is OK, but using the power of sexual psychology to get people to buy what they don't want or need and even may be harmful to them is OK. How else am I to read this ? Maybe many don't know these things about marketing, maybe I am really crazy, but this is my logic at this point in time.
The first thing I want to know before any action is taken against anyone is one simple question. Who was harmed ?
We have to take that into consideration or we are as bad as those who attempt to oppress people who have alternative lifestyles. I won't let my boys go naked near the girls, and now because I said so, you must oblige me.
Hey Lady, how about walking down a different street ? This is my street, here's my deed. I have also been here longer than you. Now you come and I have to change. Bullshit.
The other side people. Consider it.
