So kids take nude pictures and pass them around to each other and many of you blame the cellphones? By that same logic guns ARE the problem. While we are banning cell phones and guns I guess we should also ban dietary fat, fast cars, alcohol, and cigarettes. Are there any other behaviors we can modify by banning something?

Back in the day, so I would occasionally hear, there would be a girl or two that would expose herself if the boys begged hard enough. Then the stories and rumors would fly but no proof of course just imaginations filling in the blanks.

The perpetrator of these misdemeanors are not the cameras or the ones who use them but the exhibitionists.

There are alleged conservatives on this website that advocate those very things.

You said — “Back in the day, so I would occasionally hear, there would be a girl or two that would expose herself if the boys begged hard enough. Then the stories and rumors would fly but no proof of course just imaginations filling in the blanks.”

Yeah, I remember some crotchety old man that I used to mow a lawn for... talking to me one day (he was sort of weird...) telling me about some neighborhood kids and what “they were doing” in an old garage across the street, taking off their clothes and stuff (you know..., like real young kids like 10 or so...). I never did figure out if he was making it up or not.

I was just about that age, too, myself, going around mowing neighborhood lawns... LOL...

You speak a mouthful, sir.

This thread is ample demonstration for just how easy it is to get to a place where you ban the ‘thing’ because people use it in a bad way. As you say, the logic here is just as easily applied to guns, cars, food, phones, etc., etc.
