Hey y'all: Can we get a NSFW tag on the fingers crossed for HedgeKid thread?

[Mr. Whippy]

In puritanical America, it could get someone into a world of hurt at work.

[yud]

I had not been falowing that but  you are right

[AHB]

Done.. 

[jzmtl]

Hehe, leave it to the brit to turn a perfectly good thread into NSFW eh?

[Mr. Whippy]

I have no problem with it, but there are a lot of Americans who hyperventilate and go all nutso when they see human skin.

[Nikos]

I guess it's ok then to read about (removal of) part of a lady's genitals, but not to see their "outer shell"... right?

No argument from me.  Just statin' th' facts for Americans.  It's ok for kids to play video games where they kill as many as they can as fast as they can, but show some skin and everyone goes all -->

I remember a clip in the news where a stockbroker watched some "nudity" in the background, while a collegue was interviewed about the economic crises for television.
He nearly lost his job, i think..

in the US somebody walking past is not going glance down and read what you are reading about BUT they can see a pic and we are, compared to the rest of the world, total perudes.  We all just blame it on on the myths around pilgrims (who we like to think of as completely pure and the founders of the country)

I work from home so fine for me 


Not Safe For Wife though

Funny eh? I was just thinking about this the other day while out catching earthworms, we show all sorts of pictures and videos of other species humping each other and it's educational, but when it comes to our own...

PS: Didn't mean to start an argument... It's just that such somewhat "hypocritical" ideas hit a nerve. Sorry if I offended someone or other...

It's not so different in the workplace in the UK either. NSFW is a well recognised term!

[Swiss Man]

I don't get on the net at work and if I did then it is BUSINESS related (no reading your emails etc...)

I guess I am old fashion when it comes to when you are at work then you work not surf the net.

[nuphoria]

Oopsy.... I didn't realise it would cause so much consternation! 

[DaveK]

No harm done Chrissy I don't think

[nuphoria]

Well I did ask for scantily clad, not nekkid

[DaveK]

Lol.

[Mr. Whippy]

No problem.  I have a private office, so no biggie, but at the cube farms of North America, someone coulda got a knuckle rap out of it.

Personally, I think Americans need to get a frickin' grip, but what do I know?  I work on dead people. 

[grimm_kaosboy]

The problem here in America doesn't stem from us being prudes, it stems from the social political correctness of don't offend anyone or they will sue us to get rich quick. So, to "cover your ass" companies have instituted zero tolerance (and zero common sense) policies. Its a poison that won't go away anytime soon.

Reminds me of when dad told me about the 1950s, during the cold war/red scare.  Russian spies and nuclear weapons,,,,big deal.  But the minute the Kinsey Report was published
