So what level of OK is it? Obviously this isn’t “set off a dirty bomb in Times Square bad” - no one is saying it is.
What? You can’t follow the logic that having a nasty and ugly personality directly corresponds to whether someone finds a person cute or not? Exactly how can you not to get that…? You can’t be that shallow.
No, there were one or two reactions by people who were not yet aware that it was a family oriented area where it was inappropriate to have an adult photography session, where it was not posted that there was to be an adult photography session shot, where in fact where the shoot was done against the permission and the express wishes of the owners of the park. Of course it seemed like a lot more posts, since you kept re-posting one of those posts over and over like a broken record.
There was nothing reasonable in any of your posts in this thread in either fact or deed, but please go on…
Here comes the big airplane…open wide, lowbrass… Jerk model and jerk photographer, at a family recreation area, during one of the first heavy weekend of tourist season, selfishly strips & shoots nude pictures regardless of the wishes of anyone else involved or the fact that it is a place completely geared towards family and children. They did this w/o without permission of the owners and against the specific instructions of the owners. They knew this wasn’t an innocent mistake by the fact that they left the park fairly quickly after they were exposed, burning rubber in the process. No amount of postings by the ‘get over it’ offenderatti change this fact.
Now don’t swim for 20 minutes or you’ll get cramps.
Reminds me of most people’s first exposure to nude beaches.
“Hey, we are in the Carribean, there is a nude beach on this island, lets go check it out.”
“So what did you think of the nude beach?”
“Those people were old and ugly.”
I suspect there is a conspiracy of lumpy middle aged German women (with facial hair) and their equally attractive husbands who hang out on nude beaches in the Carribean just for the value of teaching American tourists that nude people, in general, do not belong in Playboy photo spreads. Yes, even lumpy German women with facial hair have their own beauty, but its hard to see that when they are nude and picking up shells on the beach.
I suggest you read some of this person’s other Pit posts. Being unreasonable is the norm.
Buh? Gettin’ a big whiff of straw here.
Uh, no, hon - you got blasted for making a big fucking deal about something that wasn’t that big a deal. It’s a human body - get the fuck over it already.
Whereas throwing a big shit fit because you saw a naked lady hiding behind a tree is perfectly reasonable. Oh, the humanity! Won’t someone please think of the children. :rolleyes:
Yeah, got it the first time. You’re completely bent out of shape because you saw a boob. Personally, I think you are a boob.
Wow, that’s awfully clever.
Oh great, my own personal internet stalker. You wouldn’t know “reasonable” if it bit you in the ass, Lute.
That’s funny, because I never once saw anyone say it was “totally fine”:
Do you even listen to yourself?
Also…
I count AT LEAST 10 people who were of the general opinion that you overreacted. And I could be wrong, but I didn’t see ANYONE who said what happened was perfectly acceptable; only that you overreacted.
Just wanted to support the OP. I have an eight year old boy and I wouldn’t have wanted to stumble across that on our nature hike either. For the record, my kid has been to museums and know about how babies are made but that doesn’t mean that I leave Playboy on the coffee table for him to flip through. As long as he’s my young child, I’d like to decide the circumstances of his being exposed to nudity. There’s a time & place for it and “public nature trail in broad daylight” is neither.
I don’t see any over-reaction on the part of the OP. Hustling his kid off out of sight and giving the people who were breaking the rules the stinkeye isn’t exactly “end of the world” kind of stuff. Maybe his post contained a bit of venom but I had thought that was standard in attempting to make an entertaining Pit read.
I can see why you might have been embarassed, Count Blucher. But if you had any questions, I’m sure your 10yo son would have been able to answer them, so don’t be shy. Speak right up.
And what’s the have to do with anything said in this thread? No one, including you, has said it is totally fine; my assertion was you feel people should be “totally fine” with this kind of stuff, not that you thought the behavior was in and of itself totally fine I base this on your repeated claims that the OP is overreacting or should “get over it.”
However, when you said “Never said it was “perfectly OK”; it’s just not the end of the world when someone sees a breast.” It was pretty clear you were saying that the general tone of the OP, or someone in the thread was that “this was the end of the world.” It was hyperbolic overstatement based only on some extreme imbalance in your psyche and not based on anything posted in this thread by anyone.
The part where you describe the OP as “having a shit fit” is also representative of how stupid you are. There’s no evidence to support you saying that. From what I can tell, your big motivation here is making hyperbolic, antagonist, bullshit statements because it pisses you off the OP has some general distaste for people posing in the nude in a privately owned, family-oriented park.
Such is your distaste that it’s lead you to say the OP has had “a shit fit” (when he most certainly hasn’t, he’s behaved fairly rationally, you’ve behaved like a mouth-breathing, brain damaged lunatic) as well as to rebut the claim (that no one even remotely made) that nudity was the “biggest deal in the world.”
There was an incident around here a few years ago where a woman was actually running through a mall nude, it made the local papers and even got some humorous attention throughout parts of the net. People taking note of stuff like this, or even mildly complaining about it is not some great hatred of nudity or an inability to “get over” nudity, it’s more an interest or dislike for outrageous and inappropriate behavior. Nudity in many settings isn’t normal, it’s bizarre, and bizarre things are worth mentioning, bizarre things which are likewise inappropriate in context are worth mentioning and possibly complaining about when they are being perpetrated by individuals. Are they worth having a shit fit over? No, but no one has had a shit fit here, other than you.
And those people are off-base, the Count Blucher barely reacted at all. Posting on the forums to complain about something isn’t actually much of a reaction, from his account he didn’t confront or react outlandishly at all during the incident itself.
Posting about general displeasure about an event can’t really be construed as “overreacting”, it can be construed as what about 50% of the pit threads are about.
The problem I have with "time and place for “it” is that when you actually start making inquiries, the time is “never” and the place is “nowhere.”
So, what’s the right time and place, Jophiel?
In reference to nude photography: some place private and at a time when the public won’t be wandering by? Mid-day on a public trail doesn’t fit either of those criteria. Many, many other locations do.
It’s not really rocket science.
Whatever obscure distinction you think you are making exists only in your mind. I neither said it IS totally fine, nor did I say people should BE totally fine with it.(whatever the hell your think the difference is).
I, and the 10+ others who responded, are simply saying that the OP overreacted.
Hmmm…yes, well we wouldn’t want to make any hyperbolic, antagonistic statements here, would we? :rolleyes:
Maybe a little confusion here. I understood most of the comments to mean that the pit thread is an over-reaction, not that Blucher over-reacted at the time. Could be that people are talking past each other.
Which quite frankly, strikes me as the silliest distinction ever. “You reacted appropriately at the time, but later on, you expressed your frustration with that incident on an Internet message board where the subjects of the rant are likely to never see it or know that it has been expressed! Why don’t you take it easy on them!”
But I don’t think anybody said “Why don’t you take it easy on them”, either literally or by implication. I think that’s your misreading. The responses were simply reactions to the ire expressed in the OP. In other words, not “We think you acted inappropriately”, but rather “We think you are too upset about an incident that wasn’t that big a deal”. Dunno, seems like a pretty valid distinction to me.
My sister and BIL live and work in Vegas. Between them, they’ve seen two separate incidences of men streaking and another separate incidence of a woman flashing. Because one man and the woman had run through all their money, and were exposing themselves in exchange for $100 or so. The other guy was just drunk in the bar.
RilchSis: “And this is why you shouldn’t bring kids to Vegas…What, Rilch? Yeah, they’d probably laugh at a naked guy. But I wouldn’t want to have to explain why he was doing it. Kids don’t have to know that there are people who get so drunk they don’t know what they’re doing. Or that there are people who will spend everything they have in the casinos, and have to degrade themselves for money to get home.”
I was on the side of “Eh, seeing a boob won’t scar him,” until the OP recounted the wannabe Larry Flynt as saying “Shake it for Daddy,” or whatever he’d been saying. That attitude automatically makes a photo shoot lewd, regardless of what anyone looks like. If it had really been a “beautful setting, back to nature, bodies are beautiful” setting, bystanders would have taken little notice if any. But it sounds like they were just making a scene, and it would have been a scene even if the subject had been fully clothed, or at least still wearing her bikini.
And as far as only beautiful people being allowed to be publically nude, I guess no one’s seen Calendar Girls!
Shrug, he was told he was “over reacting”.
As long as one’s sole response is an internet message board post, I don’t think it can ever be considered “over reacting”. Besing peeved and making a post about something seems like a perfectly acceptable response to me. I guess you’re saying people just wanted to crap on his thread because they wouldn’t have ever cared if that happened so how dare someone make a thread about it.
Which sure seems like “over reacting” to me
