Is it just me or am I the only person who is not offended by naked people? I am more offended by people who wear uniforms. Taboos are taught and enforced and nakedness is the natural state of things. That's why protesting naked gives such a powerful message: we are right and you are hypocrits!

I have been wondering about it, too. Not having the right to wear no clothes is quite absurd.

It's honestly something I've never thought about, but when you put it that way... you're right, it is absurd.

No, it doesn't bother me, and I don't suppose that I'd care much if it were legal. However, I don't think I'd want to see naked folk in a restaurant.

Really, I guess I don't want to sit anywhere that a naked stranger has recently been sitting.

It's called a toilet. We sit on it every day.

HA. Too true, but then people would carry around toilet paper and create little nests on their restaurant chairs. Come on, admit it... you've created a toilet paper nest. Fast Food and Airport bathrooms are particularly nasty imo.
