While we're on the subject, has anyone heard a plausible theory as to why cultures around the world have always covered their genitals even when the climate did not require it? Of course there are a few who did not and even a few today don't - like among some tribes in the San Francisco area of California, but I believe that most cultures even those with no exposure to western culture did have this modesty thing to some degree. Any theories?
I think that part of the answer is that walking around with your privates out is unhygenic and uncomfortable.
Isn't it?
I haven't tried it much, but that's my guess.
Nudists and porn stars would disagree.
I think one possibility is that humanity has learned that leaving all the goodies on display is just too much temptation for human nature. And indulging that temptation means no real work gets done.
I remember seeing a documentary of some tribe in the Amazon that went naked and saw sex as a constitutional right (so to speak) to the point that, if some of the men went hunting and none of their wives could go along, it was viewed as OK if some other guy's wife went to make sure they all got some.
As you might imagine, they were still in the Stone Age.
Palladian, the years have taken a toll, but I hear all gay guys are hot, so maybe that would help. I mean look at Barney Frank. Imagine how nasty he would be if he was straight.

That was some wreck at Daytona.
It takes a lot of balls to try a shot like that.
Mass-hole in one...
It's not so much what he does (nor his accent) that makes him the quintessential Mass-hole, but how much he relishes doing it.
The plow-guy who got fired for video taping the pleasure he took in plowing people in.
♫ The Viiiiil laaaaa geeeeees!♫
For reference.
Synchronized putting.
Now that's an Olympic sport!

Damn, I thought it was going to be the clip of the President of Vice doing his Gene Kelly imitation.

Help me out. Give me a link. For reference.
We live to swerve.
PS You never saw this???
I'd have expected a man of your acumen to have this on speed dial.
I thought the plural form of putts was putzes.
That's not...really...Joe Biden, right?
Sure sounds like him.
Looks like him, too.
Don't it make you proud?
Nine for nine putts. A true "Cinderella Story"!

I'm surprised they all fit in the hole.
bagoh,
The Bible answers this question, doesn't it?
Before Eve tempted Adam, humans did not know shame and they did not cover themselves.
Disobedience before God taught humans shame. From thence forward, they covered themselves out of consciousness of their shame.
What I'm not too clear on is what knowledge the Tree of Life represented.
"Disobedience before God taught humans shame."
Yet some cultures did and still do not cover themselves. God's publicists didn't finish their job, but you get what you pay for with publicists.

Ahhhh Baggy, you are aging nicely.
Never cook naked.
bagoh20, I'm loving your various profile pictures... Are you sure you don't want to reconsider that "turning gay" idea you once had?

I'm sorry. This is interesting, why?

Everything you need to know to be a good steward to the world god entrusted to you.
At least according to my belief.
Looks like someone attempted to harvest a tree with their truck.
Men, we are simple, no?
Predominantly white crowd goes wild.

God, are you a nimrod.
Eating from the Tree of Life meant that they would have become immortal.
Are you sure you descend from people who ate from the Tree of Knowledge?

Light pole. It was either that or ram the little car in front of me.
