We are not "embarrassed" by the human body. People with morals don't want it to be used for exploitation. And BTW, it's called photoshop!!!

To Susan!
I agree with you 100%! Jesus also Said that to him who is pure, everything is pure. To him who is corrupt, everything is corrupt. Anyone who has a dirty and warped mind thinks evil about the human body! This is also a very serious afront to Almighty God, Who Created us in His Own Image!

First of all, it's 'hear', not 'here'. Second, not all fat women are ugly. And finally, not all fat women take offense to nude or semi-nude photos. Some women, fat or not, just don't appreciate the art of the woman's body. But, a lot of men ARE pigs and take it for granted and just think "ooh naked women, boobs".

Well, I don't know about the stampeding buffalo, and you would have to define what is “fat” and what is “ugly;” probably by your standards I am both fat and ugly, since you seem quite judgmental. However, I AM NOT OFFENDED - I think she is beautiful, no matter what her age. How can anything created by God be ugly?

What was that you said?? "Moooo Mooooo"

So all that's wrong with America is foreign in origin? I guess that explains our recent foreign policy... and the disastrous results thereof. Now, perhaps this is only my opinion (which is all any of us have), but it seems that whenever our country's actions become particularly mulish, in that we pursue a course that has been repeatedly debunked by multiple sources, and when we ignore input from all quarters in favor of doing what we want (because, of course, what else matters?), THAT is when our country goes downhill. Standing up for our values is all well and good, but not if we're supporting something out of stubborness or a desire to be different. That whole "Lone Ranger" thing only works if the values we're upholding deserve the consideration.

By the way, whatever else you say about foreigners, they tend to spell English better than most Americans. Your post is case in point (you could stand to work on grammar, too).

Apparently, people have diffent ideas of what constitutes "self respect", because I don't think she lacks self-respect at all. I might think that if she did it out of desperation or self-loathing, but there's no evidence for that. You, however, have just demonstrated that a portion of the population is unable to grasp that there could be another equally valid point of view on how self respect is defined and expressed.

I respect that your perspective on self-respect, and probably morality as well, differs from mine. If it works for you, great. But please don't assume that everyone else has to adhere to your beliefs. Even if you aren't aware of it, that attitude comes across as incredibly arrogant and self-righteous. Just express your opinion AS AN OPINION and leave everyone to their own conclusions, please.

avante garde and hip? My adult children would laugh at that one. Never thought of myself that way .Open minded(yes) and non judgemental of others. Just because her morals aren't the same as yours does that make her wrong. I guess it does in your eyes
