"We should all be allowed to walk the streets naked, we were born naked, we should all "dress" naked."

??

Err. No.

That would be inappropriate, don't you think?

And it would be too cold.

I don't really have a problem with people being naked. Sometimes it's not appropriate, but I do think America's fear of nudity is a major cause of our image disorders, such as eating disorders. From an early age we're taught that nudity is bad; by extrapolation, kids come to be ashamed of their bodies. If kids were taught to embrace the human form, I don't think there'd be as many problems with things like eating disorders.

The human body is really rather beautiful. It was/is cherished in many cultures, such as Ancient Greece. It's nothing to be ashamed of.

I agree! Gosh, it feels so comfy when I'm naked.

Cold. Cold = Shrinkage = Unfortunate.

But there sint anything WRONG with nudity, no.

Yes there is.

Actually, there are things wrong with being nude.

1) It could be disgusting,
2) How in the world will a 3 year old feel when he / she sees his / her teacher nude?
3) It's morally wrong.

There are more but I'll stop here. Although, it's fun to be naked.

1) But, as Michael pointed out, if nudity was the norm, people would be less inclined to percieve others as 'disgusting'

2) Again, if it was a social norm, then I imagine it would make little or no difference

3) How is it morally wrong? I mean, yes, if the naked men rape lots and lots of naked women, sure, but one doesnt necessarily follow the other, and in any event, it is the rape which would be morally wrong, not the nudity.

4) Paul, if you can't be intelligent, go away, please.

No, people are way insecure now. I don't think many would actually like this idea. Although I think if this were to really happen people would perhaps take better care of themselves. Its instinct I think to compare yourself to someone else and with that happening people would.

I would find it a little gross to see some people. I rather not get sick.

I sooo agree. I couldn`t say anything else

It's harder to hide a boner





But more importantley, what society deems normal changes so if nudity became common, it would become normal (which is basically what people have said). So I'm all for it, you all want to see my pretty body :D

But that isn't what the topic is about. He wants us all to be allowed naked which is morally wrong. I would in no way want to see my 58 year old teacher naked! I wouldn't want to see my dad naked, nor my mom. Nakedness should either be private / shared with close members of your life not with the whole world.

IF we were all naked to begin with, then I agree with you, who cares? Oh well, being naked is fun though.

Yes... but what is morally wrong with nudity which would make the decision to allow it morally wrong?

simply saying it doesnt make it true. Unacceptable in current society =/= morally wrong.

aren't there people who are nudists .. and they live life naked? i read that in CosmoGirl one time ..

It's inappropriate for what exactly?

I hate that people go around throwing out the word "inappropriate" for absolutely everything. It's typically completely untrue. Nudity is not always innappropriate. Cursing is not always inappropriate. Discussing sex is not always inappropriate.

And Michael said (I think), if it were done more often, it'd be much more acceptable.

If it's a matter of getting "unwanted attention," you can't really complain, because it's your choice, However, if we were raised like that, it wouldn't be such a big deal anyway. I mean, exactly how many boys do you really think are going to grow up without ever seeing their moms' boobs? In order to acclamate people to things, you have to share them, rather than make them that much more taboo.

i think it would be okay like relaly. God created us with a beautiful body yet however nowaday in the world girls are abusing the nuditiness. They are tending to seduce guys with it so it's just make ppls view of nudity as inappropriate.

I have no problem with being nude. How is it inappropriate? Nakedness is as natural as a human being can get. And people who use the excuse that it's "morally wrong"... not everyone shares the same morals . That might be morally wrong for you but to someone else it could perfectly acceptable.

I was going to say children..
But then I read everyone's posts and changed my mind.
If nudity was normal, then I guess it wouldn't be innappropriate.

It'd still be COLD though.

WOW! U da man.

nudity -> cold -> supressed immunity system -> uber sickness

yeah no real argument on my half...

lol oh wow i just read about the shrinkage thinigie ahahah XD some of us dont shrink =P but we'll get sick.

Nudity is for other animals. Clothes are for the civil animals like human. Except when we take showers, we get uncivil

I think a lot of people are missing the point. Clearly one wouldn't walk around naked when it's cold. Clearly there are many, many places where clothing is appropriate. But there are also a lot of places where people in Western society--specifically American society--are really uptight about nudity, such as the beach. Go to the beaches in Europe--a lot of them are nude, or at least allow bare chests, and it's not really a huge issue.

It is morally wrong James. I will not want to be naked in front of my children. What will you think if a dad walks around naked in front of his 2 - 3 year old kids? I'm not talking about if it's in the norm.

If we were naked to start with, then fine. But everybody walking nude on the streets right now? As much as it sounds fun, it's morally wrong.

NO IT ISNT!!!!

YOU ARENT JUSTIFYING YOUR STATEMENT!!!!

MERELY PROVIDING DIFFERENT EXAMPLES OF WHAT YOU THINK TO BE WRONG DOESNT EXPLAIN WHY IT IS WRONG!!!!

GAHHH!!!
