She might get fined $500 because a couple of kids may have seen her naked. Is it just me who does not understand the damage seeing a naked person does to a kid?

I'm also sure if it was a guy he would be on some kind of pedophile list.

Depends, how big are ya?
:P

Public nudity should be encouraged, after we've shipped all ugly people off.

walshkvn

its only the parents reaction that makes a kid thinks that there is anything wrong with it. For them, they haven't a clue. not much difference between it and what they see on beaches

Sofaspud

I don't think it is, but apparently the police do

With 4 to 6 billion on the planet - we need to get over ourselves if we all think we individually are something special.
Nudity doesn't bother me in the slightest - except when it blocking my view of the TV, pc monitor or the lovely wife.

No objection to nudity, publicity whoring is different though

Public nudity shouldn't be a problem. It's weird that it's a social taboo. Where did it come from I wonder?

Jaysus, the Ancients had last hang ups over nudity then us.

In Ancient Sparta, males and females regularly exercised outdoors in the nude.

Yeah but they also rode kids though

cafecolour

No. I don't think it should be a big deal.

The only downside is it does give the creeps opportunities to be even creepier.

According to news, people haven't stopped

Meh, it's no big deal really.

We just dont have the weather for it in this country though.

Bonito

Bah! Doesn't bother me but I don't exactly like the idea of having a muff or a bell end at eyes level for my baby sister to see while bringing her for a walk down the town, to the shops or to the park.

thats only because it seems alien to you. if it changed tomorrow shed see nothing wrong with it, nor would any future generations, itd just be our generation and older whod be uncomfortable with it because its not accepted as a social norm

My thoughts precisely. You can make nudity totally legal and inoffensive as you please but the weather takes no account of any human law. Just ask anyone in a hot country where the law demands they cover themselves from head to toe.

Who'd want to get naked over here! It's feckin' freezing!

Good ol' America. You can buy a shotgun in Wal-Mart, but god forbid you see a pair of tits :rolleyes:

what has this got to do with anyhting?

It's not like I'm saying it should be illegal to wear clothes I just don't see why it's illegal to not wear them. Most people would of course still cover up but I just don't see the damage this women did by walking around naked to deserve a $500 fine.

I know it's fashionable to blame the Catholic church lately, but, I BLAME THE CATHOLIC CHURCH!

Oddly enough, they should be walking around naked considering Jehova's position on the whole fig-leaf scandal.

It's too cold for nudity here! It should still be allowed though, it's a bit ridiculous to call a part of somebody's body "offensive". It's a bit insulting actually, why should boobs be "indecent" but knees are perfectly acceptable?

This story's really bad, a man was making coffee naked in his kitchen and a woman called the police because she was passing by with her son. Sometimes I really, really hate other people's morals and wish I could rule the world according to my own whims (puppies for all!)

That woman should be charged with being a peeping tom.

Piste

Heh that's what I thought when I first heard the story.

There's another link which says the woman cut across the man's yard. I'd have her prosecuted for trespassing.

That reminds me of the story of Susannah and the Elders in the Bible. You'll find it in the Book of Daniel. It's in the Apocrypha.

I don't see anything wrong with it , but in reality a lot of people find it uncomfortable.That may change with time but it will probably be a long time away yet.

Bigdeadlydave

In fairness now I don't wanna see a loada naked blokes next time im out. Squeezing onto packed Buses/Luas would deffo be awkward.

Good looking women should be allowed to go around naked. Any other way and its ghey!

CianRyan

Right, I think it's only right that we get that started.

To begin, all of the women on board.ie should post n00dz!

Just because you might not like it doesn't mean it should be illegal. I happen to think salt and vinegar crisps ****ing stink but they shouldn't be made illegal.

Now lets be honest we probably wouldn't want this but why shouldn't they be allowed.

Thats a retarded comparison.

It was a purposefully ridiculous comparison to show how ridiculous the idea is that something should be made illegal because some people don't like it.

Some people dont like being murdered. But lets not let them stop us!

There are obviously more justifiable reasons for murder being made illegal so your point doesn't stand.;)
