It is interesting that nudity is considered so bad, as it is part of healthy and normal relationships between adults. Whilst violence isn't. I think I'd rather have young adults be tolerant about nudity than violence.

I totally agree. American cultural norms are strange in that regard. To be clear, i was not being judgemental, but just relating shock at something i was not used to having been raised in the US.

> normal relationships between adults. People don't walk naked in the streets so why do you need to show naked people at peak TV times on public television? It's "normal between adults" in private places.

  It's normal for humans of all ages. Does no one look in a mirror or take showers? My kids bathe together, sometimes with my wife. It's, uh, not a big deal, nor should it be. And who said there's a "need"? Might as well why do you need TV at all? Nude bodies can look cool, so it seems as valid to show that as someone wearing sunglasses.

  Except they do in other countries, maybe not in yours, but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen. Everyone has the same bits...everyone! (for nipples, for other parts it's more like 50%) I can't believe that people are still afraid of something everyone has

    Everyone defecates too but I don't need to see that :-)

      But would you seriously have problems with a scene where someone goes to the toilet? I'm not talking extreme scatological close-ups. It's an analogy for nudity, not hardcore pornography.

  People do walk naked on German beaches though, or in the sauna. Maybe I grew up in the wrong parts of Germany, but it all seems pretty normal to me.

  So you watch no tv shows that show people in private places?

  People don't have aliens bursting out of their chests in the street so why do you need to show aliens bursting out of people's chests at peak TV times on public television?

I live in China, and it's not uncommon for people to take their very young kids to the movies. Japanese 'bad guys' in movies can be stabbed, shot, dismembered and blood flying everywhere, and tge parents don't bat an eyelid. A PG-rated kiss however and the parents are covering the kids eyes with their hands :D
