I agree. And I agree about protecting your kids from filth. But not the ideas about "filth", which is every person's right to "indulge" or not as they see fit, however you want to take that. The more you know means knowing is half the battle.

Should we outlaw plumbers and garbage men and Burning Man and camping because we're afraid of "filth"?

You sound like your cowardly propaganda-induced fear has kept you six feet from understanding it's all bullshit and I suspect you want a vaccine yesterday.

How about we get rid of the filth of war and media lies and government corruption first? Then you can decide what to do all the abnormals, fatties, four-eyes, crips, and tards. Feel free to add your favourite races to hate.

In regards to filth, I was referring specifically to gay men exposing themselves to the public. I don't know why you're trying to strawman me, lol. You know what's funny? Just the other day I was telling someone that the jobs worthy of respect, the ones which society requires in order to function (garbage men, plumbers, etc.), are the least respected and appreciated. I have a profound respect for these jobs and the people who do them.

In regards to filth, I think you added a lot more context to that previous comment or I was too drunk then to remember it now, though I think I'd remember that story. David Lynn and/or Guy should know better than to bring their kid to those events, and the organizers should respectfully post warning notices at the very least. I certainly wasn't trying to strawman you and I think you know it.

I don't really give a shit about nudity, whether it's at Pride parades or at Burning Man or nude beaches or wherever. Keep your kids clear of it if you like. I don't think it's nice to upset people but people don't have a right to not be upset. North America is far too puritanical and hypocritical as we're all naked under our clothes. Still, if Pride people want to be taken seriously, then I think they should be respectable and not flaunt their junk and make out and all that stuff in their parades - or make their parades private or just do that shit at their private events to keep it off the streets. It's not just gay, it's aggressively gay.

A garbage man is provably a far more dangerous and valuable job to the community than a police man. On the job accidents, heavy labour, road side, disease, etc.
