I'm pro-nudism being legal.

I'd say it's censorship to force people to cover up if they don't want to do so.

I agree. In fact, scanning through your other posts, you seem to be arguing the same position as I. Are we misinterpreting each other?

I think you confused me by implying it's a larger group being fucked over. I see it as a majority fucking over a minority.

There is an out of control trolley speeding towards Jeremy Bentham, who is tied to the track. You can pull the lever to cause the trolley to switch tracks, but on the other track is Immanuel Kant. Bentham is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Critique of Pure Reason. Kant is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Principles of Moral Legislation. Both men are shouting at you that they have recently started to reconsider their ethical stances.

Europe. Only on highways, because they're long, large, don't have many turns and many European cars have governors.

Try to turn at intersection going 120mph ten meters before you hit the intersection. I dare you.

Because there is no good reason to stop them except "Because we want to ;_;"
Well, they want to go topless.
So...

Why exactly do you get to use the state to enforce your will on what OTHER PEOPLE do with THEIR BODIES?

Please stop acting like you're a scientist. You know damn well enough and so do I that Testosterone has not a damn thing to do with sexuality, otherwise if men were to produce that little of testerone, then they would lack muscle, bone mass, and body hair, two of which are required unless you want to be as weak as a stick.

Really, you can stop bullshitting the scientific route anytime.

It's amazing how quickly a search can change one's mind, after they make a stupid mistake.

Now it's your turn to admit it.


Alright, so we're back to where we began. Groping a breast is then not sexual harassment because it isn't sexual.

Touching someone if they do not want to be touched is, in fact, sexual harassment.

Why should it not? Because you and your subjective morals say it's wrong? Who are you to tell people what they can and can't look like in public?

"We want you to cover up."
"Why?"
"JUST FUCKING DO IT, oh my god, it's not such a big deal!!!"
"I don't want to."
"Well, we want you to, and for some unexplained reason, our desires are more important than yours, even though we're making YOU do something. And if you don't do it, we'll use the state to force you to do it, so we're threatening violence on this point. What do you mean, you think we're kind of oppressive?"


Nathi, you have to be naked now. Everyone does. No exceptions. On threat of violence. It's not a big deal, right?
Oh, you don't want to? Well, thats irrelevant to us, you have to conform to our standards.

I know that in Germany the autobahns have no federal speed limit. I'm sure there are many more. I believe (but I'm not sure) that California has a traffic law that allows you to travel at any speed safe for the conditions of the road, which allows you to exceed the speed limit in some cases.

What's the point of putting your own quote? Really Nathani, I think there is more room for your argument, that is, if there is one.

Speaking of which, I'm not seeing any at all here. Maybe I'm just going blind, but really. Going with the, quoting is unnecessary.

Yes, actually, your rights are being fucked up. Males don't have any laws stopping us from going topless, but females do, and can go to jail for it.
