texas, california and florida agree on something
But Texas is advertised as “you can do all you want” or “it is the land of freedom bro”…
I have family there, and that my be the law, but there is more than a little open land in TX. My grandparents lived in a rural part of texas. Visiting there as a kid, before the internet was anything, it was a wild place. “Wild” being an appropriate word. But anyway. Very unlikely your neighbors would say anything if they caught you naked in thd back yard.
Im pissed im red here in virginia. I wanna walk around naked too
I think “being nude” is similar to “being honest”. You reveal what’s inside you without any kind of concealing mask.
Really, the US not wanting people to be nude at any cost makes me think that the US does not want the people to think honest thoughts either.
Lock me up.
I used to go outside at like 2 or 3am for a sprint around my backyard nude a few times when I was like a teenager.
Just wear a hat.
I want to hear a strong eastern Massachusetts accent say,
“It is the duty as a citizen of these Commonwealth and State of Massachusetts to hereby decree the fundamental illegality of being in the nude per the confines of an individuals backyard. Whether visible or not to neighbors and or the greater public, it is the sworn duty to uphold any type of nudity outside the home or establishment that is permitted to allow a visible display of said nudeness to persons of an age that is either 18 or 21. Furthermore any attempts to show any nakedly graphic pictures of the human anatomical form sans articles of clothing to be a direct affront to the values deemed appropriate by the officials Oveh theh in Baustin.
They should all be green. Whether it’s a good idea is a different question.
I do like the fact that it’s authorised in Hawaii but prohibited in Alaska.
Alaska: no, cuz 90% of the year you’ll fucking freeze to death, idiot
…and the other 10% you’ll get eaten alive by mosquitoes.
Yeah, there’s no way I’d bare flesh, not even shorts, during an Alaskan summer. Those mosquitoes are fricken huge.
The land of the free-ish*
* Several restrictions may apply, consult your personal lawyer for legal details. You may be subject to a incarceration without trial for an extended period of time during your legal process, or be subject to a modern flavor of slavery once convicted. A medical injury and receiving a higher education may generate debt for several decades that requires years of work at a minimum wage that barely covers your rent and groceries and may require you to get a second job to survive. You may suffer delusions of grandiose or uniqueness, or a feeling of unjustified pride for wearing star-spangled underwear every 4th of July. Keep out of the reach of children who may be subject to religious and far right indoctrination, perpetuating the cycle of freedumb-ish.
Can you watch ultra-violent movies with profanity and scantily clad men and women?
- all green.
People are weird.
Movie ratings are kinda bullshit anyway.
Airport, one of the movies Airplane! spoofs, features an almost explicit scene of a suicide bombing aboard an airliner in flight. A pregnant woman is injured in the explosion, and a plane load of people spend the entire third act in immediate mortal danger. This movie is rated G.
Ice Age, the Disney (somehow not Pixar) movie whose plot boils down to “Three Men And A Baby, Except Animals” is rated PG for “Mild Peril.”
Raiders of the Lost Ark features explicit scenes of people being shot including blood flowing from a bullet hole, and the climax of the film features a shot of three characters’ faces melting. This movie is also PG.
Caddyshack is a comedy movie about wacky characters around a golf course. A couple women get topless, so this movie is rated R.
The MPAA has been a rather corrupt organization for a very long time. They don’t even bother following their own standards. They also exercise leverage over film content. Many movies live or die by their rating, so “parent’s” groups often lobby them or find their way onto the various boards to exert their will and censor content.
The one that comes to mind for me there is Army of Darkness. Army of Darkness came out in 1992 and is rated R. Why? Its content is similar to a lot of PG-13 movies, including Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, which came out 3 years earlier. Army of Darkness is appropriate for the same audience as Indiana Jones. It’s rated R because it’s a sequel to Evil Dead.
Saving Private Ryan features some pretty realistic scenes of combat wounds. Not 10 minutes in, we get a shot of a man’s guts hanging out of his torso while he’s calling for his mama. That movie came out in 1998 and is rated R. Showgirls came out in 1995, and is rated NC-17 because it’s a skinemax movie. This isn’t an original thought by any means, but…are those backwards? Why are we more comfortable showing children war than sex?
I mean you’re comparing movies that are 22 years apart and for entirely different demographics. It’s to be expected that the criteria changes based on how cultural norms change.
What stands out to me is that they got more strict as time went on and depending on who the target demographic is.
It’s funny that movies intended for kids had much higher standards than movies intended for adults.
I think MPAA/RIAA censorship it peaked in the early 2000’s and since then those agencies have become increasingly irrelevant.
Raiders of the Lost Ark being PG is a bad (or good depending on your perspective) example, because the sequel (Temple of Doom) was one of the main reasons the PG-13 rating was created.

My point is, the comedy movie that features nudity and consentual sex acts is considered less acceptable for young people than the movie with graphic violence, murder and body horror.
you’ve gotta keep your comparisons in the same time period when you’re talking about movie ratings/public morals.
Further evidence that the rating system is bullshit.
just because you don’t understand something doesn’t make it bullshit
I understand it just fine, but as implemented it’s useless for the purpose its supposed to serve.
Ice Age isn’t a Disney movie; it was animated by Blue Sky Studios and distributed by 20th Century Fox.
And Disney owns 20th Century Fox. Granted they didn’t when the movie was released.
Yes if there was a game that depicted that you can guarantee there would be moral panic from the self-declared religious pearl clutches.
Why does the live free or die state always have less liberal laws than its Vermont neighbour?
They chose death 🤷♂️
NH has been a tossup state pretty much since the early 1800s. It’s a state where many preconceptions are wrong.
-grew up there
It’s where a lot of law enforcement retire apparently.
Which means there is a huge swinger community lol
I be breaking laws then.the sun on my dick in summer time in Oklahoma feels wonderful
this is about backyard not porch. different laws
Are you implying i go on my proch swing my dick around? Helicopter style??? Cause I do that too. Backyard, porch, parks, mall parking lots. Wherever the sun is then my dick has a right to be seen by those beautiful rays
Hey guys, do you have the same for Europe? But shift the scale one notch up:
Green: yes
Red: only if not visible from the street
Orange: in your backyard or in nudist spots
Europe has backyards?
…or balconies :3
I’m in Arkansas and I have a 6-foot-fenced yard, highest my neighborhood will allow. I straight up called the police department and asked them - if someone complains I am nude, in a non-sexual way, what would happen? They laughed and said they wouldn’t even bother issuing a warning. So YMMV :)
do you back onto another row of two story homes?
I guess after thinking about it, I’m okay with nudity even in that situation, because if it’s just nudity alone then that’s whatever, and if it’s inappropriate then it would be inappropriate regardless of whether nudity is legal or not
I was here first but people built around me. One neighbor’s upstairs can see in. I told them when they were building - you’re going to occasionally see dong if you look over here. They laughed, I didn’t.
sounds like I’d rather have you as my neighbour than the loud french people next door who “want more privacy” but then scalped their side of the cedars so they’re basically see through, and shout about their hemorrhoids on phone calls outside lol
Going nude in your backyard in November in Oregon sounds like a standard thing. We got naked bike rides so, yeah, this checks.
Seattle also allows nudity in public! We also do a big naked bike ride every summer solstice!
i would think it’d be those weeks in july/august where everyone regrets their lack of air conditioning.
Idk, sounds cold. I’d rather do ot in the summer
Miskitos.
Duct tape some citronella candles to your butt. Problem solved!
Lol nine-tailed fox
Can you imagine being a mosquito and encountering a 900,000 you tall naked monster that you used to feed on but now emits a cloud of blinding death from its butt?
You’ve got to watch out for those Lovecraftian universities.
