- If those girls had contracts, then it would all be fine. Many underage starlets pose (near)nude for magazines, and that's ok since they have a contract with a company. If it's for free though, then it's not ok. At least, that's what the media is telling me.

- I have never understood people having a problem with nudity. I would think it to be not very Christian/Muslim/Jewish to shame nudity, as God created humanity to live that way. What's so wrong with God's creation that it shouldn't be seen?

You are one of the few people that really see what is happening...I truly am sorry that this person is being persecuted...however...you or I did not tell this person to go to work, or stay at work, for AIG,AIU or whatever.
I have never stayed at a party, house, gathering or work where I was not wanted, or furthermore, threatened.
Thanks for the vote of confidence....I really got beat up on this one.
Regards,
