Asian nudity at the beach (no, not what you think)

[mrcfo]

OK, Firstly, I'm not a pedophile!!!...but I've come across a strange habit when I visited Asia (esp. Vietnam) of some folks letting their lil kids (mainly under 5) roam around naked, swimming at the beach. Digustingly, the parents also let them excrete at the beach. When I actually asked my uncle why they'd allow this, he'd say they're only little and nudity can't "harm" them????

Back in Australia, I've never encountered this and there would be an outrage if it was there were people that did it. I can see it now, cries of "pedophilia"....

I've also noticed a few photo albums at home of my aunts and uncles who were photographed buck naked when they were at the beach...strange isnt it????

I've never thought that little kids running around naked is weird. There are pictures of me when I was little that have me hanging out on the beach in my birthday suit. My brother and sister did this too.

The pooping, though, that's just not sanitary.

One thing I think is weird is adults who go swimming in their underwear. I saw this in Thailand and, um, they should at least put on new underwear.

they're kids. kids running around naked is cute. hell, me and my cousins used to run around only with our diapers on if it was hot.

now, adults running around naked.....is another animal all together.
