    Screw that, too cold, and we're not hairy enough anymore. Plus, pants are a great way to conceal a hard-on in public...Booyah!!

    I think we should all wear ass-bags like horses in cities do...

    I don't see why there should necessarily be age restrictions on it.

    you clearly did not grow up with nudist beaches and camps, did you? :p

    Well, all I can say from experience is that once you've seen your elderly geography teacher on a surfboard in the nip, you would change your mind.

    And once you've spend some time in nudist camps (don't ask), the most ickiest thing ever is seeing people having their breakfast nude, or go shopping with nothing more than a basket.

    And I am not shy or prude - I just don't need to see other peoples bits (any bits) uninvited. *shudder*

    Talking about things being "Natural" on the Internet.

    Makes perfect sense.

    If we were naked all the time, nakedness would lose its mystique and eroticism (although I'm not saying it always has to be sexualised, it ain't always sexy anyway :pac:) - plus we wouldn't get to wear nice clothes... :(

    It does make perfect sense. :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

    There's nothing unnatural about communicating. Language in itself is unnatural, oral communication is just as bad or worse than typing (because it's harder to say/receive what you want in oral communication).

    No need for your cheap sarcasm.

    Yes and we would lose our sexual dysfunctions as a result. How bad?

    If fabric used to keep warm and comfortable(Like it has been done since before our species even existed the way it does today) is unnatural, then so is the Internet.

    There would be a lot fewer people bending down to pick up dropped €20 notes.

    Well there is an argument there. In an ideal world we wouldn't need to use computers, tvs, cars, etc. either. But giving up clothes is something that would cause us little to no drawbacks, it is a purely psychological thing.

    I think saying: "the internet is unnatural therefore we should pay no attention to nature until we give up the internet" is an extremely lame argument, and I know that's not what you said but it was something like that.

    Just blowing it off as making "no sense" just because it's on the internet is ridiculous.

    What about us never-nudes? Personally I'd feel left out, with my denim cut-offs.

    It's time to let go of our stupid superstitions and "guilt" and hiding of things and just show ourselves to the world. What have we got to hide after all?

    Big floppy things that might hit people. Possiblly resulting in a concusion or putting someone's knee cap out of joint.

    I thought you had gotten over that and were totally over-compensating?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,191 ✭✭✭✭Shanotheslayer


    Disgust is an emotion. Laws should not be determined by emotions (which are subjective, fickle and not neccesarily rational), they should be determined by rational logic. You'll have to do better than an appeal to emotion if you want to explain why nudity should be illegal.

    Well, this whole thread is to do with emotion.

    I don't know why people would want to be naked all the time.

    Awesome if the women are stunning etc etc. Which seems to be what people think of when they think of ''naked all the time''

    But, seeing your parents,auntys,uncles,cousins,nephews etc naked? No thanks.

    For e.g you have a kid and hes going through puberty getting the random erections etc and hes walking down a street?

    Maybe it's just me but I don't want to see 14,15 year olds walking down the street having a hardon.

    Or seeing children naked for that matter.

    The reason its not a law to be naked all the time is possible because it's the most stupidiest thing I ever heard. Unless the world was full of beautiful womens, then it's ok

    Eh no we wouldnt. The rates would be identical IMHO. People would just fetishise something else. EG Some south american indian women only wear a thin cord belt but are otherwise "naked" to us. You can see everything. Yet if one of those women removes the belt, in her culture then she becomes naked and sexual.

    As a species we've been wearing clothing a very very long time. At least 60,000 years in the case of stitched clothing and longer than that in the case of draped animal skins. They serve practically as well as socially. The latter even more so. We are not the naked ape. More the clothed ape.

    Fine if you wanna be some sandal wearing sky bather, but beyond that, nope.

    Many worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.

    Being naked is so final. Where is the glory of getting someone naked if their already there? Most people are more attractive for the "mystery" of whats under there

    When you accidentally see yourself in the mirror coming out of the shower, do you have to avoid making eye contact with yourself for the rest of the day??? I know I do. :D
