I agree that Trump is hate-worthy, but why are you angry with me? What did I do wrong?

Where's the wrong in nudity in public?

Yeah, America's prudery is nothing to be proud of. We're still fighting the effects of the Christian Puritan mindset that sees nudity as filth and morally destructive. One would think that because Christians believe god originally created humans sky clad, they'd also believe this would be what we should aspire to, and that nudity would be welcomed instead of unwelcomed and even detested.

If you want to see my wife's tits, you're a problem.

I think you have me confused with someone else. I don't believe I ever mentioned your wife, with tits or otherwise.

I am attempting to understand your position on this matter. And, truthfully, I am having a very difficult time of it.
Linking someone being naked in public with your faith or your sexual orientation makes no sense to me.
I get that you are a straight male. But how is that relevant to people being nude?
Are you thinking that nudity and sex are automatically the same? Do you think that just because someone is nude that they want to have sex with anyone else who is nude? Or that anyone would automatically want to have sex with them?
I really don't get what your issue is.
And, again, I don't see how someone *else* being nude has any bearing on your relationship with your wife or family. There is nothing that says *you* or your *family* have to be nude.
What, precisely, is your concern? That you or your wife will be tempted if there are nude people around? if that is the case, it seems to me that you don't have a strong relationship. but if that isn't the case, I don't see what your concern is.
You also talk about nudity being 'filthy', but then turn around and say your body (and I assume you feel the same about your wife's body) is good. I see a strong contradiction there. Where is the 'filth'?
I really am trying to understand why this is causing you such an emotional reaction. It doesn't make sense to me.
And what do you say when she needs a mammogram? Are you bothered by a doctor looking at her breasts? Why or why not?
Only saying your children might think differently.
There is the matter of convenience. Public nudity is more likely in Florida than Alaska.
There is that, to be sure!

I don't have a problem with it. Our society is so backwards. We are afraid of nudity, if nudity comes on TV we hide it from our kids, but violence, sure. However would say viewing violence is far more physiologically damaging. Kids don't have a problem with nudity until they are told that they should.
