Not true in Vancouver. You do see women going topless regularily at Third Beach in Stanley Park. It's not a nude beach.

In Brazil just in carnival parade all is permitted. Topless is not allowed even on the normal beaches.

I'm wearing a hijab right now because a muslim man told me I was being too provocative for his comfort or something like that, I dunno.

"When Muslim teenage boys go to open air swimming pools, they are overwhelmed when they see girls in bikinis. These boys, who come from a culture where for women it is frowned upon to show naked skin, will follow girls and bother them without their realizing it. Naturally, this generates fear."

Hold on a second while I check a map of Europe real quick...


****, you're right. We should be very afraid...

In all seriousness: Pöcking isn't all of Europe. Germany isn't all of Europe.
We deal with cultural differences and the problems brough by them in different ways.

P.S.: I often hear about how Muslims are bad at controlling themselves but the one's I come across barely even glance at women.

I think people are more modest now in public than they were 20 years ago. People also seem to "dress up" more before they leave the house or go downtown in cities. I don't know why, just a trend I've noticed. When I was younger, there were more young men walking around shirtless in the Summer. There were more younger women wearing cut-off shorts in the city, going braless, etc.

There are nude beaches around, but many of them are out in the country, at lakes, along coastlines, near thick forest areas. There's no one else around to be bothered by it. And if they are bothered by it, they know enough to just not go to those particular beaches.

This mainly applies to Canada/North America?

Turn On, Tune In, Drop Out

Commentor:

"On the German side of my family, for example, I am the only one who doesn´t want to help these "poor people" and who is considered "extreme" for not appreciating the "fantastic food" in the Turkish neighborhood. One of my uncles is looking after a Syrian "mathematician" now, who is supposed to be "just formidable and such a great guy". And the male foodie that married my cousin furiously yelled at me that I wanted to "let them die at the border".
My mother reported similar things about her women friends.
The only thing that bugged them a little was that the Syrian ladies got into the pool of the local spa (in which you´re supposed to be nude) fully dressed and that their rags were floating everywhere. They showed their displeasure by getting out of the water."


The whole Sauna Spa culture in Europe could very will be extinct within a decade.

The founder of the publication you are quoting from seems to be a true capacity in that field

Quote:
Richard Bertrand Spencer (born May 11, 1978) is an American writer, publisher, and activist known for promoting white supremacist views. He is president of The National Policy Institute, a white nationalist think-tank, and Washington Summit Publishers, an independent publishing firm. Both institutions have issued studies of culture, society, nationalism, eugenics, and the study of race and intelligence.

Spencer advocates for an Aryan homeland for a "dispossessed white race" and calls for “peaceful ethnic cleansing” to halt the “deconstruction” of European culture.
