Thread Name: BS: GA Sen Chambliss - Questionable Video Ad
Subject: RE: BS: GA Sen Chambliss a pervert? (Video)
Nothing wrong in that video. And that opinion is from someone who has been on the receiving end of unwanted attention at a young age.
I remember the story about the Iranian man massaging his toddler between the legs. Then I read up on the practice. Used to be quite wide spread in many cultures and ethnicities as little as a hundred years ago. Supposedly it wss something that was done absent mindedly to settle young children down. The reason? Probably because it was effective.
I remember when children from some Native American tribes were thought to be unteachable and dishonest because they would not make eye contact with teachers. Did the educators bother to find out that making eye contact with an adult was considered a sign of disrespect? Not until decades to late.
