Funny, you had to edit post #8 to include that information. Perhaps that information was only included after I linked to the article. But regardless, why the heck do you care? Just because the pool administration changed its mind does not negate the fact that it decision was controversial. And, as many posts on this thread illustrate, the decision to reverse the pool's first decision is now also controversial.

Go police another thread.

I dont think so.
Glad we both agree that women should be allowed to walk around topless. Seems like one of the few things we agree on.

This woman has been through enough pain. I'm glad they reversed it.

Stop the presses! First time ever I agree with this poster.

And they wonder why we laugh at them.

As far as I am concerned, everyone can go topless.

Oh, I agree. However, I wouldn't want to be part of the first wave on this. Having to put up with the ogling of people like Dale would be a real pain. Would take a generation or two for it to be considered normal practice.

What, no inane mumblings about "unemployed" interior designers from you?
I'm shocked, I tell you, shocked.
