See how some of the Freepers try to convince others that the "Venus de Milo" and "David" statues are not "obscene". RE:

Indecency is indency. Calling it "art" doesnt change that.

"Indecency is indency. Calling it "art" doesnt change that."

The law seems to suggest otherwise:

The law also stipulates that such material is harmful for minors if, "considered as a whole, it lacks serious literary, artistic, political or scientific value for minors."

Are you saying that, as a rule, nudity always "lacks serious literary, artistic, political or scientific value for minors"?

It surely shouldn't be out in public. At least put it behind closed doors and if a parent wants to bring their kids, well that's their problem. At least decent people won't have to have their children exposed to it.

2. OMG!

We have lost our way. This statue is offensive so they say. I saw a young girl today who could not have been a day older that 18 with a pair jeans on cut so low you could see the "5 O'clock" shadow of her shaved pubis.

I almost got hit by a bus I was so offended.

So offended he couldn't look away, and was so distracted he almost got hit by a bus?

3. Some Freepers are capable of sarcasm,

and even a rudimentary form of humor, on occasion... :)

4. They'd hate the Pieta, then: (caution dialups--big picture)

[mattclearing]

6. Yes, because the human body is inappropriate to be looked at.

Freepers are horrible people with dumb ideas. Sometimes it's really just that simple.

7. I guess they should paint over the Sistine Chapel mural!
