They have no real scientific background to back their statements up, just years of unconscious indoctrinate bigotry to drive those feelings. BTW, I pretty much agree with everything you say here KS. i know what it is like to be a victim of the persecution/prosecution system here in the USA.

The point is that it's diffocult to find reasonable people nowadays and I would like to know more about you. I guest you already have my email, so I'll be waiting for yours so we can talk and know each other. I’ve been reading around and I agree and disagree with you at the sametime in different topics.

Even inside my home it wasn't smart to go barefoot because of the off chance of stepping on a scorpion, which we had a lot of. I remember one time I lost my shoes and I went to Wal-Mart to get me a new pair. The bastards wouldn't let me in though because they were doing some reconstruction in part of the building and if I accidently stepped on a shard of glass or something they were afraid that I would sue...fucking moronic. While being barefoot when I can is great I think that there is something to be said about the empowering feeling of wearing steel toed combat boots :) I like being barefoot when I can, but where I lived it was incredibly difficult with all the grassburs and stickers.

I suppose one could say thats just due to the imprinting of those social norms from child hood. When I was 10-11 years of age I had a sexual experiance with a girl my age at the time. The only reason we never went through with the act was because I had been taught better and backed out in the end. Our social norms may be the thing that makes something harmful when it may have no intrinsic harm in it, but I would like to think that there is something within human nature that isn't shaped by our social norms that tells us that, "this is going to far," or "this is too extreame."

And as I said, in the case of a man and a child, it will most probably lead to damage later on (indirectly, by learning our norms, morals, values and by victimization) even though the damage didn't occur at the time of the actual event. An adult should know these factors well, and thus have a responsibility, naturally. However - and this is the weird part - it doesn't have to be the "perpetrator" that inflicts the damage at all, but all the rest of us, teaching the child that the event that took place was wrong and hurtful, though it wasn't at the time (how does that make sense?)

Like zoophilia for example. I don't condemn it but I don't support it either...but if I was in Japan and saw a man engaging in sexual activity with a child of the age of 13, whether consent is given or not, I am probably going to kill that man. Mabe my western society made me that way, but it's ingrained in my nature and I just can't let myself make that leap of accepting such things. It is physicaly impossible for my mind to ever condone a man fondeling a child with his "tool" even if the child doesn't fully realize what is going on. No matter your motto, man needs to be responsible over his own actions and over his children. At least thats my personal feeling about it. I couldn't live with myself feeling any other way.

Well, as I haven't been here 3 full decades yet even, I don't have any personal experiences of the good old days, but I can imagine that bare feet weren't as much of a problem back then for many reasons. Especially near the country. Even when I was a kid, it was almost mandatory for children to run about barefoot. Today, you can't see a toddler without "protective" or "supportive" expensive shoes... given to them by the same mothers and fathers who once ran barefoot themselves. What happened? Anyway; I just wanted to add (in a comment, as I'm too lazy to edit this monster of a blog post) that I have a new twitter account for the purpose of "barefoot journal", for anyone who might be interested. It can be found here: http://twitter.com/KarmaPaw Thank you!

I guess people in Sweden do not go barefoot much. Did they during the 1960s and 1970s? Here in the USA during the 1960s and 1970s, going barefoot was a fad for young people, mostly young women. You could not go anywhere in public on a nice summer day and not see quite a bit of barefoot women, especially during the first few years of the 1970s, when the hippie fashions were embraced by more mainstream young people. There were even people going barefoot in New York City. By the 1980s, going barefoot went out of style, and today there are very few people who go barefoot in the US. If you want to see that, you have to go to beach towns on the east coast or west coast. Though in the south you still see people here and there going barefoot, but not much when compared to 35 or 40 years ago. I took it all for granted back then, never could have imagined that it would end, and that most of the world would forget that it even happened, and question that it can be done at all......very sad....."Those who do not know their history are condemned to repeat it" is so very true. Younger people today have to re-learn what we all knew about going barefoot back then. It was just obvious that it was not all that dangerous, that you gradually got used to it in the spring, and that by summer you could walk on anything. All that collective information appears to have been lost. Nice blog.
