this popped up on my fb page. i commented on the story but didn't see where it had posted to.

http://www.iowastatedaily.com/opinion/article_d875ef46-bac6-11df-8257-001cc4c03286.html?mode=story

i shared it to my page and friends, LOL'd then posted this.

just to clarify. i am not laughing at what the guy is going to suffer now labeled as a sex offender. but i find it ironically humorous that the writer of this article is insulted by his buddy getting nailed. welcome to the world of accidental sex offenders. hopefully he will do some research on the subject of so called sex offenders and learn the truth of the boondoggled mess. and maybe it'll open his eyes.

I thought I would share this for a reality check with the USA.

When I was in Germany it was not unusual to see someone peeing in public, not common, but not unusual.
I remember one time, walking to the Kaiserslautern Hauptbahnhof(Train station) about 5 am, this guy came out of a bar, whipped it out and pissed in the street with 2 Polizei sitting in their car across the street., no big deal.
I've been all over the world and I've seen that the English speaking world is the most "prudish", barely ahead of the Muslim world....

That reminds me: back in the early 80s, on a bus tour to the Munich Oktoberfest, our bus was caught in a traffic jam that didn't appear to be moving anytime soon. A few of the gentlemen got off the bus for a pee break on the side of the road. I was astonished, but no one else seemed to care.

i don't think i'm a prude but taking a P right in the middle of the road or street is to me extremely rude.

Advocate2 03/06/2015

True it is rude to do it right there in front of everyone but it certainly is not a sex crime for goodness sake!

October,
Oktoberfest in Munchen...1996 & 2000...WUNDERBAR!!! At least what I remember..In 1996 it was DM 4.35- $1...Jager Schnitzle, Curry Wurst, mit pomme frites und Spaten UR Marzen. K-Town(Kaiserslaurtern) is about 100 KM noth of Munchen.(Munich)..... Did you get a chance to see Dachau, just outside of Munchen? Ugly place.

Echo,
The English speaking world are prudes, I am to a point also, trust me, "Ain't nobody wants to see me Nekkid"..
To you and most people in English speaking countries it is rude but it is all cultural differences... In many cultures, nudity is no big deal, and this includes Continental Europe and many Asian countries I've been to. I remember seeing a Dove soap commercial on broadcast tv in Europe that showed a woman in the shower washing EVERYTHING..most Americans would find that pornographic, but this commercial was on during 'Prime Time'.

Coastie, we went by MWR bus in 1981 and 1982, so no side trip. Went to Flossenburg though (political camp: Bonhoeffer, Canaris). First PCS was Grafenwoehr 1980-1983. Second PCS was Wiesbaden 1989-1991.

The dreaded Graf...I'm sorry.
I haven't been to Flossenburg, however my grandfather did,. He was a 2Lt. in the 387th Inf, who liberated the camp.
