you are right. my bad. ... i will try to find it within me to chuckle a bit more about the decay of the united states. its all one big joke, isnt it? lighten up. we might as well have a big laugh on our way to becoming a moral trash heap of a nation (or in this case, California). they are just a bunch of drunk people out in public exposing themselves. something the Conservative forum Free Republic can really get behind.

Go peddle it over at D.U. you would have more in common with them over there on this

I’ve posted pictures of a ? 20 year tradition and many of the mooners are waving at the Amtrak passengers.

Jeez, I’m a Texan, and I wish we could do something like this. Well, we actually do, we moon teams’ buses we’re about to compete against (football, track, baseball, basketball) as they pass us on the road or we pass them.

You are either a. unhinged, or b. unaware of this very American pastime.

I'm coming to your defense, AmericanInTokyo.

It just boggles my mind that 8,000 people did this, that this is an event to do this type of "coming out" behavior.

Mooning someone you know and who knows you is one thing (vis a vis, an "inside joke"); mooning total strangers is indecent behavior.

But then I really must share my bias - I remember the advent of the "flashers": Naked men running across campus, or across a town. It just gave people more of an excuse to do "naked protests", naked "bicyclists for Piece", and making it harder to take children to events around the SF Bay Area, and because some stupid exhibitionist(s) was demanding all eyes be focused on them.

8,000 people mooning a train. Unbelievably dull and stupid.

While gas is high in price, more trains will be used to transport goods around and across America. This mooning thing is quite a handy tool for the "anti-Americans" to promote.

Really, the train should sport a banner which says: "Okay, whoop-de-doo, we've seen your faces, now show us your A**s." Enter stage left, the Democrats to protest any clampdown on the mooners' "freedom of speech".

Yes, give this matter just one thought, add some years' of experience, and this event is just unbelievably predictably stupid.

And one more thought. I grew up with the community bath. I know you know what I'm talking about.

When I arrived in SF in 1965 and the Love Children were about, being topless, bralass, or nude -- I didn't see freedom, I saw exhibitionism.

And the more the liberals talked about "sexual freedom" the more I saw perversion, not freedom.

And the same perversion believers think they are on about "sexual freedom". They are not. They have sexual issues which they blame on "America". When the fact is, they are the "sexual problem" of America.

So, fast forward to hot-tub loving Marin County. It wasn't about the zen or sensuality of a good soak; it was about being "trendy" with one's naked body. Communal baths in Japan are for a very sane reason. Community "soaks" in America are for "diversity" in the pursuit of "trendy-ism".
