Should "nude households" be legal?

[Jagalonia]

yes but only if its your property

What if you don't have a fence?

Then your neighbours are very lucky.

[Nercc]

Nudity, in my mind, isn't something that should be barred, anywhere. As long as no sexual relations are happening in full view of the public, I don't see the problem. It's just the body.

Do elaborate. I would love to know what you mean by that.

I'd imagine hospitals would see an increase in patients.

1. Restrictions on nudity are lifted.
2. People go nude.
3. ???
4. More people get sick.

Flawless logic.

Well, clothes are designed to protect humans from illness, injury, disease, etc. and beyond. If people aren't wearing clothes in public then they are more susceptible to the aforementioned problems, especially disease and illness, and will likely go to a hospital to be treated.

Pretty sure t-shirts and jeans don't stop diseases.

It's better protection than wearing nothing. Not to mention it provides an easy to access tourniquet in cases of horribly bloody accidents.

I'd be more concerned why my neighbor was a cartoon character than to what he did in his house.

By that logic, everyone should be forced to wear hazmat suits because it's better than regular clothes. Wouldn't want anyone to take up space at the hospital; it's not like they're there to help people or anything.

[Serrland]

Erm no... That might be my totalitarian size showing though but seriously nudity has no real purpose apart from making it easier to reproduce.

It is more comfortable and I imagine that seeing nudity as normal would help alleviate issues of self esteem and insecurity associated with it. Most popular portrayals of nudity are of people selected as perfect by successful media.

Sorta more comfortable, except in winter. Being a seasonal nudist seems the best solution. Otherwise you'd have to have the heater running all the time, couldn't leave windows open past late september or so, etc

Clothes do protect us from insect spread disease/illness and protect us from UV radiation but other materials (bug spray/sunscreen) can be used for the same effect. Injury is usually protected by recreational/occupational specific articles which I'm sure a nudist would be wise enough to wear.

You could make that leap, but you should keep in mind that well-made HAZMAT suits aren't cheap, or economical, to wear. Unlike common clothing.

Wearing nothing is even cheapper and more economical.

Exactly. Nudity just increases the risks of a person becoming sick.

Buying tons and tons of sunscreen, bug spray, and other related items wouldn't be very economical. Not to mention the large amounts of space they would take up in the common household.

True, but there's also businesses to think about, too. The textile industry is a billion-dollar business that provides millions of jobs. It may just be me, but destroying such an industry and plunging people into poverty is a bad thing.

No. I making the case that not being cautious can make you sick. Even when you wear clothes you still have the chance of contracting a disease from insects. If you only wear a t-shirt you still are exposing yourself to UV radiation. Being cautious is better than clothes.

You seem to be taking things to the extreme. I'm advocating for the legalization of nudity in the public square. You seem to think if that happens suddenly there would be a mass nudity movement. Leading to a mass movement of nudes to the hospital. And leading to the economic ruin of millions. Which, wouldn't need as much money because they would no longer be wearing clothes.

Except wearing clothes makes you fundamentally safer than not wearing them. Not to mention that clothes are reusable and take up less space than the aforementioned goods.

Being cautious is better than clothes.

And wearing clothes is taking precautions. There's a reason why humans started wearing clothing in the first place.

[Llamalandia]

Honestly, as long as nothing sexual occurs, they should be legal. I was naked around my parents a lot as a kid, and I'm pretty sure I turned out fine.

meh byut isn't that part of the problem is that being able to tell for sure what's reallygoing on is hard enough even when kids have clothes on? That and this sounds to me kinda like Wacko Jacko arguing that it's "perfectly naturally to have kids sleep in bed with you and that everyone else is just ignorant". That said, yeah, i mean if really nothing is going on and you keep inside mostly i suppose idon't have a problem with that.

(Then again maybe all these nuidists are really just trying to cut down on the laundry bill )
