23. I'm not a prude and I don't care what I see, but for the sake of other people,
Edited on Tue Sep-06-11 03:06 PM by begin_within
who may or may not want to see a nude person - and you can't know ahead of time whether they want to or not - I'm in favor of enforcing nudity laws in public places. Except of course when the place is specifically designated as clothing-optional, such as a beach which has a sign indicating that. Or at a privately-run event such as the Folsom Street Fair or Burning Man or whatever. But not as an everyday thing anywhere you want. I think that forcing people to accept nudity in a location where it is not normally expected is a violation of their own rights. It's making the choice for them whether they want to see nudity or not. And nobody has that right. Even though I don't care myself whether a person goes nude in public, other people do care and will be offended, and we need to respect their rights. Making the choice for them as to whether they will or will not see nudity is a violation of their own right to choose what they see.
