    Lol, taking off shoes in the office and changing for more comfortable shoes? I don't see a problem with this unless going to the meeting. On the other hand, is it so normal to wear pajamas and go to Walgreens or Safeway? That's disturbing to me, I never got over it in 30 years and it's only getting worse.

    You espousing all the worst parts of America. It's not nearly as prudish as you imply. Now that said it does vary by state. In fact there's even states that it's legal to be seen nude, legal for women to go topless anywhere a man can. Though it is changing sadly. YMCAs use to make boys swim nude stopped in the 70s but at my local you couldn't tell in the locker room. You'll have guys of all ages nude some using gang showers that hold 12 some in the hot tub some in the sauna. I can't tell you the times I've caught others and been caught skinny dipping deep in the woods on a hike at a creek ,waterfall or something. Then you have the great conservative state of Alabama the most religious in the 51 but battles with Utah for that spot. Anyway Alabama has in fact 8 nudist camps and a few parks where it's tolerated if not sexual..news flash there are no federal laws against nudity any federal park it's legal in unless the adopted local rules and it could still be , usually up to the rangers discretion. Anyway of those 8 in Alabama one is family only , one is clothing optional for all one is for swingers and another I'm told is for all. Then you have 4 that are only for gay men. If these at least 4 have existed for over 20 yrs and the family one has for 40 yrs. I've even seen Christian nudist group sign up sheets at one YMCA I go to. It's odd I'll admit as the nation seems to be remodeling every gym and trying to limit any nudity exposure were also at a time where the youth have never been more exposed via a screen to it. I'm older now and looking across the generations it's gotten kinda funny odd etc. I'm gen x but the boomers truly don't care about nudity, gen x does a lil depending on region, millennials are embarrassing they'll be doing the towel dance waiting on a stall to change in at 25-30 yrs old still mean while gen z seems to be more like boomers and xers you'll see a few hide but plenty do as the older guys do. They've gotten over the fear of changing near a homosexual or a camera being in the locker room on every phone. I've seen more than one taking pics of their gains in the mirror while nude buddies are in the background behind them.. I'm hoping the future is far less prudish as it's a fairly recent social issue that didn't exist till the 70s-80s and seems to have ran it's course except the few kids that grew up then building to Thier prudishness the other generations are far less concerned about. It's just dumb to not embrace your own body and hide in shame. I see it often from wayward Christians trying to act all morally virtuous yet God created us in his image and it was nude. He asked who told us we were naked. We did get clothed once leaving Eden but it wasn't for modesty it was for protection lost leaving Eden thorns bites etc. Jesus was crucified naked as that's how Romans did it. There really little argument for such prudishness you exactly like 50% of the other humans on this planet. The American prudishness you speaking of causes us and our youth so many issues as natural things are deemed taboo. Gods creation is deemed taboo..just stop it America..

    I don't remember the last time I personally paid a politician. Paying through taxes is not quite the same as when the rich and powerful (the elites) pay politicians directly by funding their election campaigns. The breakup of Czechoslovakia was arranged by politicians acting on behalf of certain elites, most likely the elites who control the EU/NATO since the newly independent Czechia and Slovakia both promptly gave up their sovereignty to the EU/NATO. Perhaps the Velvet divorce was about divide and conquer.

A bunny comes and says 'huh, huh, huh, carrot in winter?' The person saying the joke shakes their head in disbelief and curiosity as they say this - implying the bunny cut his throat on the razor.

  • @carlislebailey8902
    @carlislebailey8902 Před 3 dny

    Hi there guys , first of all I would like to say , that I really like your videos , but I have few things to clarify here ! The first there never has been Czechoslovak state before 1918(artificial creation)the map of Czech lands were more or less unchanged for centuries so it was pretty clear what land belongs to Czechia and what lands belongs to to Slovakia (no need for dispute there ) the same goes for national symbols and national anthem ! Concerning the national assets and industry , in Slovakia at time was nearly Nothing except the western part and even then it really wasn’t much there either ! Slovaks had have fields and that’s about it ! We have owned all the assets all infrastructure and all educational institutions (80 to 90 %) ! So clearly from economic perspective only, this marriage has been disastrous for Czechs (imagine loosing half of your gdp etc .. overnight ) while it has been extremely advantageous for Slovakia ! Socially this also put additional constraints and fear into German speaking Czechs (who were very important for the Czech economy)!! So while I love the Slovaks ( My auntie lives there and now it is a citizen) just as all other neighbours, I don’t think there has been anything to dispute whatsoever ,they were already walking away with much more than they had to begin with with !🇦🇹🇨🇿🇸🇰🇩🇪🇵🇱🩵🤍♥️🧡

    "what's wrong with my country" - one should never conflate the government with the people. Two entirely different things. That's why anybody who hasn't been to the US is absolutely entitled to criticize the US foreign policy - rightfully so. Because you don't have to visit the country in order to understand the crimes the US as an imperial power has committed since WW2. That's said, ordinary US citizens belong to the nicest people I ever met which made me love your country a lot.

A tím se všechno spojí, je zbytečné se honit za hromadou peněz když život utíká rychleji a pak už bude pozdě to změnit. Tedy je dobré si vydělat tolik abychom mohli v klidu žít a spokojit se s tím a zbytek času žít svůj život. Samozřejmě je to každého rozhodnutí a nedá se to vztahovat na všechny.

    I am afraid, speaking about political correctness, that you mix several things to one. Firstly, everywhere (USA, Czech rep., ...) you should be polite, so saying to somebody she is *@#$%^* is definitely uacceptable in ČR. On the other hand, when somebody does something repulsive on the workplace, disturbing his colleagues, it is logical and in many cases also professional to make him avare of that. Politely and in private, of course. If somebody stinks a lot or comes in bikini, it definitely causes discomfort of colleagues. Political correctness as you present it means preventing possible discomfort of an individual for the price of certain discomfort of people around. This is illogical and even rude.

    asked by a Czech "you're too nice, tell me what you really think about us..." - I'd like to give a warning to everyone: This is a lose/lose situation. Remember the Star Wars meme "it's a trap!", said by Admiral Ackbar when the rebel fleet discovered the imperial Death Star had fully functional shields and was ready to shoot its main cannon? Circumvent that question like e.g. "sorry, but I refuse generalizations" or "which 'Czech' do you mean exactly? A citizen of Prague, a Moravian, a Slezan, or someone from Bohemia?" or "there's no general answer to a rich and diverse nation like you are, so whatever I'd say can be right for some and wrong for others and personally I don't like to be generalized myself". Just make sure to leave this topic behind as quickly as possible.
