For the past couple of weeks in my town, many of the stores here haven't had the chance to restock items, leaving many empty shelves. There are three regular stores I frequent where I have talked to the employees, and they confirmed that regular shipments aren't coming in, or they only have half the items that are usually delivered. Has anyone else experienced this phenomenon? I remeber that there was talk of a planned food shortage in the U.S on GAW about two months or so ago, so it definitely piqued my curiosity after personally encountering some weird situations.

What damage do you think that does to a child? Be specific.
Grooming children to accept seeing grown men with their pants off. Tip toe, tip toe. Next you'll ask what's the harm in children seeing a naked man? It's natural, isn't it?
Have you ever heard of swim trunks?
The real tip toe is that the changing rooms are closed for no reason...
Did you read the post where he said underwear?
I also read "knee-length boxer briefs."
The point stands either way. You were that stuff at the pool. Unless you don't believe in those either. Or beaches.
LOL if the man is trying on shorts by himself in a store, of course he is putting those pants ON. Even little kids can figure that out.
Medically speaking no harm is done to young humans merely by seeing a live nude adult body. As you stated, it is natural. They don't think there's supposed to be anything wrong or dirty about it until adults teach it to them.
But that's just scientifically speaking. Culturally is another matter of course. In most countries people wear textiles all the time. So, suddenly seeing a nude person out and about would seem highly unusual.
Setting is super important. Where we happen to live in Florida, clothing optional resorts are numerous, and a certain few are designated as family oriented. At those, just about every visitor is either a veteran, a business owner or professional, a strong family-focused American, and a Trump-supporting conservative LOL they just like to frolic au naturel like in the old days, before everything got weird. Absolutely nothing bad happens, I mean nothing, the kids play in their area of the pool among themselves and ignore the boring grownups. It's just like any other day at the pool except swimsuits are optional. It's pretty cool actually, in a certain nostalgic sense.
Each to his own. Skinny dipping isn't for everyone, but it isn't a bad thing.
Level-headed post, thank you.
Thanks patriot
Okay groomer.
Funny pun, but no
To me, it's the same exposure as having a man go in the same public restroom as them. I don't want them I'm there lowering their pants, either. Why worry about the bathroom if they are doing it in the aisles? Sorry, I'm just old fashioned like that.
BIG difference:
In a men's room, there are literally naked penises being pulled out all day long, one after another. For urinating. Also in there are private stalls where a predator can actually take a child and do evil things. Not so out in the aisle, where I calmly tried on ten pairs of shorts and perpetrated no evil while doing no excreting of bodily fluids and displaying no naughty bits. :p
It's a fine line parents walk between protecting their children, and making them grow up into puritanical neurotics who think the human body including their own is something dirty and nasty. But you signed up for walking that line when you had children. Good luck! :)
