Who are you to call it "other forms of kiddie pr0n"? Just because your standard doesn't tolerate this, thus giving you the right to label them as "you" please? Give me a break!! What if this is their traditional cultural expression? Have you lived in that part of the earth long enough to know their culture? I think not.

I can point out a handful of dance rituals in Africa that falls in the ballpark. I can point out another handful of religious rituals that are deemed "intolerable". You gonna judge on a thousand year old religion? If you are, I'm gonna label you as a turd, a douche-bag on top of being a dumbass. You know why we have so many enemies in this world? Because we go in there with our standards and #### things up for them. Some of the reason why we have war is because we were and still unable to close that gap.

I wonder how the rest of the world see us in some of our everyday standards? Wonder what they think of us when we whore our young kids in front of a camera just to make a buck or two? In some part of the world, you know what they do to women/sluts who slept with more than "1" man? We are a saint now. I think some of you miss the point in its entirely. I'm not just talking about this video, but everything we do in general.

BTW, In case some of you missed it, I'm pretty sure that I pointed out that the video was "also" outside my tolerate level, but at least I don't judge without knowing their culture. Also, I believed the term pr0n involves someone being naked.
This is not some recently discovered sheltered tribal community. This is not some small African tribe doing some ritual dance based on their three main ingredients of survival (hunting, fighting and ****ing)

If it was, I would agree that we would be too quick to judge and should infer that this display we are seeing is a demonstration of their culturally significant rituals to ensure a strong and fruitful marriage or joining of tribal partners.


BUT ITS NOT!!!

It’s a bunch of ignorant adults allowing a bunch of ignorant children to simulate secks acts on each other. Mimicking what they see on TV or worse in their community. To call this anything else is asinine. I don’t care if it is in another country or not. Anyone with half a brain can tell what that is….Hint: its NOT some deeply rooted, significant display of one’s proud culture....for sure.

BUT ITS NOT!!!
1.) There is absolutely no point of telling me "ITS NOT" when I have the same views as most of you in here. But its that I have a thought that "what if they see it differently?" I think this is where some you mistaken me for and debate with me for the wrong reason.

2.) Telling me that only kind of show how strongly you believe in your opinions. So far, that and other similar statements are backed up with nothing but one's ideas and standard, whereas I at least try my best to back it up with real life examples even though my opinions lies on the opposite side. I will admit that I don't use the best of examples, because I'm not them and I know nothing about their culture.

"Just because it's in a different country doesn't make it alright....." - Some have laws that petite thief can get your hands chop off. Do you think that's alright? Do you think that is a little too extreme.

So with a brief research on my end, I found out that this is called Daggering dance which is coming out of Jamaica recently. Type it in Youtube, it's all over the place. Now there is no point of debating with you guys since it's like debating with someone that has the same view. So I will put it this way. Say we do a survey in the U.S. and Jamaica. I can put down money saying that most of the people in the U.S. will say that this is disgusting and out of place. But, will you put down money that the result will be similar on the other end? I'm not telling people here to change their views or opinions. I just think people should at least acknowledge the possibility that there might be other view based on different standards. I will leave this topic at that and won't debate any longer.

Dude, seriously? Don't be a jackass for the sake of being a jackass... You sound ignorant to everyone but yourself. Not 1 person has stepped forward to agree with you. Think about that.

All you've given is a loosely-based assessment that maybe its okay culturally Have you even watched the video??? Its a dance contest, not a cultural celebration. Do you know where the people are from or any information on the video? I'm afraid not.

We're not talking about your beloved spider-dance video here...

They're speaking Spanish, they're wearing Americanized clothing, and have helium balloons. I'd say that having 8-yr olds booty dance isn't a cultural priority.

There is a shot right after the 3:00 mark of a older girl dancing with a kid and eventually turning away in shame/giggling/making it obvious that they're doing this because they THINK IT IS FUNNY. The boy on the far-left is standing back and looking ashamed/uncomfortable because he isn't comfortable with whats going on.

You're damn right that my standards don't tolerate this. Its children that are too young to make an educated decision about what they're being encouraged to do.



All this over a thread that was supposed to be funny. I smell a BL ignore thread coming in your honor.
