Michaelangelo's David in the news

[notmyown]

No school had to send me to a museum to see male nudity. I was 11 years old walking down the street with my classmate just talking. I started noticing that there was a red sports car at every corner of the street. And then I saw the same car pass us and park at the next corner coming up. I told my friend about the car and how weird that was. So when we reached the corner, we both looked in the car. And ohmygosh! The perv was flashing us! So gross!

We kept walking but we were both in shock. So I said let's go into the next apartment building, but stay calm. So we did. I put my finger at the top of a column of doorbell buttons and just ran it down hoping someone would beep us in - and someone did!

I didn't know God then. I did go to church with my family though and I started wondering if God was the one who helped us....

Anyway, I got flashed at least once a year for my entire teenage years. Smh.... If Satan was trying to turn me on, he failed miserably. 😝

well, that's awful.
i'm truly sad to hear it.

my friend Barbie and i were taking a walk in our neighborhood one afternoon. we had gotten back to our street, just 3 or 4 houses from home when a man stopped his car to ask directions. i was answering his question when i noticed Barb was slowly walking ahead. after he drove away she told me his pants were undone. i never noticed, lol. but at that time in a nice neighborhood in a rural/suburban place it was kinda unheard of. boy howdy were the parents mad!

ps-- Barbie and i were born before the doll. i guess no one calls their daughter Barbie anymore.

If that's the case, shouldn't the museum have required parent or guardian permission for children prior to facilitating their entry? And if it did, the issue is really about the teacher not giving the children/parent's informed consent, rather than whether the art is acceptable or no?

were they at a museum? i hadn't heard that. but yes i think it comes back to the teacher and school.
didn't the principal resign?

Yeah, I was thinking that maybe the teacher lied to the museum and said that all the children had their parents' consent.

That to me is the core issue then, and quite a serious one.

some boys found photo of someone with no clothes on in a book in the library with a bare bottom and they were laughing over it. It was of someone jumping into the sea.

I just said whats so funny havent you ever seen a bottom before. Well most of them might not have because they would have to look backwards in a mirror.

Ive known several Barbaras but no Barbies. In Australia a Barbie is actually short for a barbecue.
I guess thats why nobody calls their daughters Barbie over there.

Is that why Crocodile Dundee said to "throw another shrimp on the barbie?"
