Now you’re just babbling.

You have no point.

The good Msgr. made the point that there is considerable room for modesty in American beach volleyball costumes.

Your real problem is that you’re afraid modesty will interfere with your voyeuristic meat-gazing, but you lack the courage to come out and say what you mean.

“No, it doesn’t. It’s impossible to imagine that a person in your position is unaware that he is lying.”

Your lack of imagination does nothing to convince me that you, and the original author are both in the wrong on this one.

I’ll say it again, it was a very poor choice of an example and the fact the author chose it anyways makes me wonder what underlying motives drove him to use such a horrible example...

I’m a woman and I’m not gazing. But it seems the good Msgr was.

I am an admirer of God’s creations and I stand with the meat gazers. Put me down for yes.

Thanks for the LOL. Sometimes it’s better than banging your head on a desk.

Actually that’s an argument for more attire, especially bottoms, than less.

teeny bikini == sandy *****

Is it attention they are craving?

As for beach volleyball, NO, it's to keep the sand out of their nether regions........the less clothing, the less sand to accumulate and chafe.......

The bikinis in WBV are nothing more than one would see on any beach or boat in any marina.......Some folks need to lighten up and join the 21st Century.....

As a side note, there is no restriction on what the women can wear and they're wearing what is the most comfortable for them in the sand.

Offering a disclaimer, if there were teams of 250 lb. + porkers squeezed into those bikinis then yes, I would object............LOL!

“The good Msgr. made the point that there is considerable room for modesty in American beach volleyball costumes.”

If that had been the only point made and if that one point had been made better... I might have sided with you.

Good intentions on one point do not make up for poor execution in others.

“I am not surprised that beach volleyball, the uniforms are deemed to be a modesty issue. I think the sport started if I am not mistaken, on the beaches of Brazil itself. If I am wrong correct please. Thank-you! God Bless.”

Actually started in Hawaii and flourishes in SoCal.

The puritans can simply stay away from these events. They are advertised and the places where they are played are well known.

OTOH the athleticism of the girls is inspiring to females, as my wife and my daughter assure me.

Why don’t the men wear Speedos, then?

They don't have a certain crevice that would become uncomfortable with sand........

Kidding aside, who cares?

No, they’re not. That is a falsehood.

I guess you missed the male swimmers. The male swimmers are down to small strip of cloth on the bottom.

*******************

And yet you show us a pic of the diving team.

Fail.

So, you’re not concerned about religion. No problem.

No one is forcing anyone to participate in the Olympics. I assume you’ve never played volley ball on the beach in the Equatorial heat? If so you wouldn’t be posting this nonsense.

You consider the above statement an insult? Really? Let me guess, you don't like the tone. It is obvious Citizens of Western Civilizaton need to worry more about the spread of Sharia Law in the West and how it hurts, maims, rapes and murders women living here in Western Countries. Msgr. Pope needs set his priorities because Christians are being murdered, raped, and are sold as sex slaves all over the world. But it pleases you that he comments on the lack of "modesty" of the Volley Ball Teams of the Western Countries. OK, so be it.
