Absolutely!

Speedos should be mandatory south of the Mason Dixon Line. Especially in states like Mississippi and Louisiana, where obesity is epidemic.
Woah!

None of this "mandatory" talk.

Harrier doesn't want anything to be mandated - that is what liberals do (see their individual mandate for Obamacare).

Harrier just wants to know what is the rationale for not allowing a person to freely walk the streets without clothing.

  1. If we are talking about beautiful women with beautiful bodies then yes, clothing is absolutely overrated! Why on earth would you wear any??
  2. If we're talking about any and all men, then clothing is actually extremely underrated. By all means, put more of the stuff on them!
  3. If we're talking about old women, ugly women, extremely obese women, etc then refer to item number 2.

You see, sometimes there is such a thing as a right answer that should be applied to everyone. This is one of those cases.

Would their be an age limit?
Like, would a father say to his 10 year old daughter, "Now go out and play, sweetie. Don't forget to take your pants off before you go out."
Or are we talking about a perfect world where that wouldn't matter?

Well, there are age restrictions for a lot of things - including marriage.

Harrier could understand putting an age limit on public nudity - after all some pedophiles wouldn't be able to control themselves if they saw a naked boy walking down the street.

One can't choose their sexuality(or so we are told).

I believe bodies are to be private for your partner and clothing helps to keep it that way.

You can think you look cute naked or even in a min skirt but that doesnt mean I want to see your boobs or butt.

How is that not sexist?
That depends on where you live... List of social nudity places in North America - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

If someone wants to walk about in their birthday suit, why shouldn't they be able to do so?

How does it affect you personally?

Do you support clothing equality?
I support clothing, especially since Michelle says everyone is fat. Bad enough fat people wearing spandex, but now in the buff???

YIKES!!!

Scandinavians (and Russians) just love hot sauna (steam ) baths where you sweat a lot and then love a bracing dip in an ice cold pond or stream or a snow bank will do the trick. Running from a place where it may be nearly 130 deg F to a place that may by -20 F and then into a nice warm house really gets the old heart thumping and the nerves a tingling. How do you suppose they dress for this ? So don't assume you always wear thermal underwear, a good winter parka or a balaclava all the time one is outside in the best season of the year in the Great White North!!!

Scandinavians have a very snsible viewpoint when it comes a being a naturalist!!!
