That's an interesting view point.

You readily expect stranger to provide schooling, roads etc for your children.

But when one of them want's to keep your child in line, you draw the line. I would feel that they earned that right. I would guess you don't.

I would love to hear more about this.

Some peoples' job is to provide schooling and roads etc. Nobody gets paid to "keep my child in line". That's where I draw the line.

It's called swinging, right?

That would depend on the type of extramarital sex being discussed.

Extramarital sex with the knowledge, consent or participation of one's partner could fall under polyamory or swinging.

Extramarital sex without the knowledge, consent or participation of one's partner would likely just be considered cheating.

Not when you're divorced.

Would that be considered extramarital, though?

It's outside of marriage.

Touché. Definitely not a new trend though, at least for the Japanese.

True. I'm still wondering what Tasty was referring to, as well.

There are few cultures in my interweb travels that are so open to new "mature content" developments as the Germans and the Japanese. The Axis powers seem to still be fairly unified in terms of invading sexual boundaries even if neighboring sovereign states are now safe.

Shoot, I was only talking about carpet! :eek: You're right, though.


Another currently socially unacceptable thing that would be nice to do is to be able to cuss freely in public.

"Hi. That's a cute ^%*&!$# dog, Miss. What %$&^#! breed is it?"

True. I guess when I think of "extramarital sex" I picture a person having sex outside of the confines of their marriage.

Given that, though, I would say that extramarital sex is most definitely socially acceptable these days.
Many people are having sex without getting married.

What, you Californians cuss constantly at an audible level in public? - And I don't mean at gigs or places where there are only adults - I'm talking about malls, playgrounds, church services, and such.

Plenty of people regularly swear in public around here.
I started swearing when I was in first grade. Of course, around adults we didnt use those words for fear of repercussion.
Its not uncommon to hear swearing anywhere, though, even in professional settings. My boss will cuss regularly, and I once went to see and attorney and he swore more times in 20 minutes than my mother has in my lifetime.

It's my opinion that if the kid get's near me it's self defense.

LOL

Personally, I try to get my kids to behave in public. If things get out of hand and we start to annoy people, then we'll just leave. I'm aware that some parents don't deserve to be called parents though. They let their little monsters do whatever they want, anywhere and anytime. I wouldn't go as far as "disciplining" their child, but I'd tell them to get a leash and a muzzle, or something.

I have seen several interviews of porn stars, Jenna Haze for one who are choosing to step away from the "little girl" stereotype and move toward a more "womanly" image, which includes bush. It may not be industry-wide, but I personally, have been hearing more and more women go in this direction.

I've suggested the leash. It seem every week or two some kid get run over buy a car, disappears or shot taking out the garbage.

I can't help thinking a leash would work wonders.

Speaking of kid leashes, these seem to be pretty unpopular with folks around here. I even heard one person say, and I quote "your kid is not a dog". :eyebrow:

Not sure what the problem of keeping your kid on a leash is (literally) especially if your just a single parent trying to control your kids in public.
