Thats literally my favorite scene in the entire movie. Captain: Dr. Banner, you should get angry. Hulk: Thats my secret captain...Im always angry.
I just like how it ties into the end of the edward norton movie where he learns to control the transformation.
anyways back to the topic...yeah everytime someone complains about modesty all i hear is 'Im too weak to control my own eyes and mind, please cover yourselves so I dont have to work at fixing my faults.'

If you notice someone, say at the beach, with little clothing on, I don't think that's a sin. But when you act on the temptation to take another, closer look - that's lusting. I'm certainly not perfect, but I've been pretty good at averting my eyes in those sorts of situations. I guess it helps that I'm fairly shy in large public groups where I don't know people. By the way, you can totally appreciate the beauty/attractiveness of a person without lusting after them. It may be difficult at first, when the temptation to lust comes, but that just means you'll need to train your eyes to keep to themselves.

I used to be a wearer of such clothes. Got in fights with my mom who did not like me leaving the house dressed in barely anything. Girls seek approval and admiration from males. I find this funny because then we complain that we only get the guys who only want us for our bodies and yet that is what we are advertising.
Now, my style has changed. To the horror of many, I am very much into granny sweaters. I DO NOT wear leggings just by themselves. I cannot stand girls who do because those are not pants! They are meant to be worn underneath skirts and such since some are practically see-through.
If I am a princess, (God's daughter), I picture myself walking down halls with my head held high, while I carry myself with poise and elegance. Trashy clothes that only exploits and leads guys astray since guys are visual, does not go with the picture I paint in my head when being the King's daughter.
It is difficult to not follow with the culture and its latest trends such as high-waisted short shorts and bikinis that could pass as dental floss. I understand why girls wear them, which is why I try my hardest to get them to realize and see their value and that they do not need to flaunt their body so. (unless its for their husband at home) They will not attract the right guy that way. Only scavengers.
Remember, most of these girls did not grow up with a daddy who would have instilled upon them that they are a Princess

Word. That's pretty much my thoughts on the subject. Also, there's kind of a million bajillion more important things to think about. Modesty and lusting aren't the problem, they're merely a symptom. Bring it to the Lord and ask Him to change your heart. He'll tell you what's up. 
Don't blame a woman's choice of apparel for where your heart and mind reside. Otherwise, in this crazy, sex-driven society of ours, you're pretty much screwed.

I should also note that I have a daughter and I so don't condone hooker wear, but*I*get frustrated hearing so much negativity towards women on this matter and so much pressure on us to, essentially, protect men's hearts and minds and rarely does anyone talk about how it IS possible to grow and mature to a place where a woman's body won't be a stumbling block and that that is not our responsibility, but the man's. Living in other countries where women walk around topless but heaven forbid you show your knees! kinda makes me wonder, if a man who has difficulty keeping his heart and mind on point with a girl in tight clothes were to go on a missions trip to a country where women walk around topless, how effective would he be for God's kingdom? He would HAVE to change his heart and mind or he'd spend the entire time beating himself up for lust. That's insane!
I say, for women to ask the Holy Spirit with a sincere heart, what He wants and cares about, then go from there. Don't let anyone's wardrobe choice get in the way of what God is doing in and through you.

I really think Tintin needs to cover up his beard. Personally, his rather deliciously attractive beard has been a major stumbling block in my walk with God and has caused me to think lustfully of such facial hair. MODESTY IS THE KEY. I'm so sick of seeing that beard uncovered. It makes me angry knowing a man of God is walking about, revealing his beard in inappropriate ways. In fact, I'm pointing my finger at my computer screen right now and shaking it about in an angry fashion.
MEN, COVER UP YOUR BEARDS. WE DON'T NEED TO SEE IT.

I didn't have a dad or a male figure of any kind to guide me or make me feel like a princess. And yet I've still managed to choose modesty. See, someone can teach and tell someone "the rules" and who they are until they're blue in the face. However, the recipient of such words has to CHOOSE to believe them. And they have to choose to believe them daily. The only automatic thing the brain does is run the body. Psychology and spirituality is a constant choice which can be changed on a dime.
