Today's Topic: Public Nudity

09-12-2003, 21:13
The polls have said that no Nations have any laws against Public Nudity..Is this true?It seems strange wit the Repressiveness of the more Coservitive governments that at least some of them would have laws against it..
Not that the People of Jaru have any problem with this.Its jus a curiosity..

Well we don't know about other countries, but here in LostParadise it would be unconstitutional to put any restrictions on nudity (public or otherwise)... as it would be considered a infringement of our sacred constitutional right to freedom of expression...

Here in Kaneadia, nudity is not really a problem because if someone wants to strut their stuff, that is fine. We have other things to worry about, such as the economy. I dont think any civilized country would pass laws against something so trivial, but has far ranging reaches in the process of restricting personal freedoms.

In fact, as far as I know in the region of Arinelen, there is no laws banning nudity. I would have to check however. I dont think it is a big deal. I have found that countries that make behaviors or activities a big deal (I.e. Underaged drinking or premiscious sexual behavior) then it becomes a big deal and then a problem.

People are naked!?!

That's a crime. We should arrest them and make sure they are NEVER naked again.

The polls are incorrect, my nation, The Republic of Komokom has previously passed, enforced and up-held laws against public nudity. This has been done for several reasons but mostly due to the public out-cry against public nudity and the common sense of wearing clothing in modern society, not for fashion or restriction, but for safety and due to the moral beliefs of our people.

And thats about all I gotta say,

A Rep of Komokom.

Animals should be forced to hide their nakedity as well.
10-12-2003, 03:23
In Koilos we have no laws against because in my nation nudity is a way of life. I just passed a law that let people go around naked and another about recognizing peoples wants for leather shops.

I think it poses health concerns such as skin cancer in odd places from over exposure to sunlight and lack of sunblock.

Ugly people.

This is why Aldecia wears clothes.
10-12-2003, 08:34
nudity is a way to express them selves,its like a culture
10-12-2003, 14:32
Well, if Aldecia wears clothing because of ugly people, then they should probably go put on some clothes. As for the rest of the nations boasting of free societies, if they want to go around naked, then let them. Just because a segment of the population has been impressed upon by society that naked = bad. Simple minded.

Remember, you were brought into this world cold, hungry and naked. Then things got worse. Now you wear clothing.

Heian-Edo has no laws against it. In fact,it's fairly common in some parts of the country.

There must be nations in our region with compulsory nudity, since we are ranked a mere fourth for nudity, and in our nation it is only optional, not compulsory.

How is the human body in it's natural state offensive? Can someone explain this to me? Ugly people do exist, but if they offend you...don't look at them!
Moptopia

In Moptopia it is not against the law for a woman to walk down the street topless. There are several clothing-optional beaches and several nudist colonies. Most people believe "If the Lord wanted us to wear clothes, we would have been born in clothes".

Walking down a public street nude is frowned upon and will get you a small fine (although it's generally not enforced too often).

Dont ask me..Ive never been able to figure that one out..Something about the Christian old testement and the Garden of eden or something like that that dosnt pertain to the rest of us who are not christians but they force it on us anyway..And as far as ugly people go..Alot of times its not their body thats ugly..Its the clothes they wear..And if a person is truely ugly then no amount of clotheing can hide that..Just like no amount of clothing can hide the body of a super model..

So the consept of modisty is a rather stupid one..Unles its part of your religion.

In Scaraba, ugly and stupid people are sterilized, thereby ensuring their ugliness and stupidity are not passed down to another hapless generation. Also, nudity is compulsory. Once the Master Race is in place, the Sultan won't be able to hide his arousal no matter what kind of pants he wears.

I haven't yet made any legislation about nudity, which is good - I need to think the issue through. I'll be getting back once I've come to a decision.

Yes, we need to get the bare facts and expose the underlying issues.

Ever?? :shock:

I think that makes bathing somewhat problematic....

Exactly. It should be a crime.
11-12-2003, 02:28
Making Bathing a crime?? Intresting..That might solve our phosphate problem in Jaru..We try and try to find someone to make a truely enviromentally safe soap but the Corperations keep saying that they cant do this.. So this would be a good solution.. Course poeple can still go swiming..

If people don't bathe, they will become oily. Once that happens, you can extract the oil and you have a renewable fuel source.
11-12-2003, 05:54
Ya ya There we go..We already recycle hair and toenail clipings..We can colect the oil floting of the top of the hot springs where the stoners come to bathe..Oh yes..The People of Jaru are also its National Animal..The Wild Stoner...

In LostParadise we have found that there is much more energy to be Harnessed from the act of love making which is a resource that is as inexhaustible as sunlight!! However, this resource requires a certain level of good hygiene. We take bathing *very* seriously...

The people of Spectres are free to dress (or not) as they please, but moral codes are enforced. Thankfully people's ethics play an important role.

I accept nudity, the Tallest people can go on the road whit no shirt and no pants if the wants... I think it's normal to live like that, i don't have any problem whit that.
11-12-2003, 19:36
being naked is nothing bad. The people of Sphrimid dont have a problem with it and nor does the government just as long as the citizens of the nude dont overly flaunt it at all the citizens that do not wish to be nudists.
11-12-2003, 19:46
The People of Artemisia Absentia are free to dress or not dress as they please. The only time we require clothing is during the harsh week of winter for frostbite was once a nationwide epidemic and we now have that under control by mandating people must wear clothes during that week.
Nudity is actually quite common in our nation. You will see many citizens wandering around the forests searching for the elusive Green Fairies in the nude.

Polls are only as accurate as the people who take them. I personally have a law agiasnt public nudity.

The people over 400+ kilograms are kinda hard to ignore. Not to mention in places like stores, where they have to be looked at.

In Arinelen, there are laws banning public nudity on at least two of the four countries, including my own, Fenixius.

As a citizen I don't want to walk around under obligation to see nude people. It's a major issue, it's indecent and immorale, and all it does is make people umcomfortable. People that actually want the world to walk around nude are as morally corrupt as any Neo-Nazi ever was or shall be, trying to make everyone do something they don't want to do. I don't want to see someone's body, pretty or ugly nude. If I do, I'll earn that on my own.

What about rapests? I can tell right away that'd make a bigger issue in crime rates, naked people are easier to take advantage of, easier to harm, etc etc. Public nudity should be banned, anyone who allows it is banal and obviously insane.

So after a few generations you'll have an empty country. Once you get rid of the ones deemed most ugly, the unattractive or plain ones will be considered relatively ugly, so off to the surgeon, and so on, and so on.

Also, nudity is compulsory. Once the Master Race is in place, the Sultan won't be able to hide his arousal no matter what kind of pants he wears.
Of course after seeing people naked all the time the body alone will not arouse him. have you never noticed that it's clothing which makes a naked body sexy?

You can burn people for more energy...
