So, because you can find a few examples of crazy zealots having a personal problem with sexuality, all 300 million Americans are sexually repressive? This is like those who claim there's a war on Christmas. Point out a few incidents and expand it to cover the entire country and culture.
A few examples? I think you mistake your opponents' brevity for lack of proof. I assure you you're completely wrong. There's a hell of a lot more than a few. Right now, for example, there's a law somewhere that's in the process of being passed that would allow business owners to refuse service to people of a sexual orientation that they don't like. This includes
government workers.
Anthony Weiner was forced to resign in disgrace for sending picks of his package to girls via text while Rob Ford is still serving in Canada after admitting to smoking crack. Billy Clinton was impeached for having sex with an intern.
Impeached. I can give you more if this still counts, in your eyes, as 'a few examples'.
Hmm ... one more thing right quick: Janet Jackson exposed part of one breast on TV - and it was covered up - and the whole country was upset about what our poor kids saw when watching the game. They demonized something natural while never once crying about the beer commercials that glamorized alcohol to their precious little ones or the news they watched afterwards which probably showed the body of someone who was very violently killed. The priority was a booby. But yeah, bro. We're totes open to sex in America.
Do you deny that one can go out and hook up with anyone they want, any time they want? Do you deny that there are people down at the local bar right now, in plain sight of other citizens, (and even possibly law officers), hooking up for sex as they want? Will they get in any societal trouble for it?
I'll deny it as long as people are fired for being gay and for as long as laws are proposed to enable folks - including gov't employees - to discriminate against people based upon sexual orientation. Can they do it? Yep. Can they do it without consequence? Sure ... right up until they get caught.
Oh, by the way, there have been teachers fired fairly recently because they happened to be strippers at one point in their life. Tell me more about our openness and tolerance, please. Hell, you should tell them. I'm sure they'd be happy to hear the good news.
Two people meet, and they want to have sex with each other. Are you saying that they are restricted in this activity more in America than in England, or France, or Brazil? You can even tell a cop you pass on the way to your apartment, "Hey! Guess what! We're going to my place to shag each other rotten." And the cop will probably just shrug and say, "OK, just wait till you get home. (And use a condom.)"
Again, you're missing the point. Nobody is gonna pull a gun on you and stop you from hooking up ... well, some people probably would. Anyhoo, there are consequences to these actions that aren't found elsewhere. Additionally, you can't see nudity on the news or even basic cable but you can see as many burnt and exploded corpses as you want. For whatever reason you want to think that sex is nothing more than a physical act when that's not even close to what everyone else is talking about.
This America is sexually repressive idea is as ridiculous as the "War on Christmas".
Bullgrit
Only if you either aren't paying attention or don't understand the discussion.
