    Useless laws weaken the necessary laws. –. Montesquieu
    This quote encapsulates my position on this issue.However I think such a decriminalization should only be done in a community where a majority of the inhabitants agree.Apparently,I hear there exists long stretches of nudist beaches in the south of France where the neighboring residential areas are clothing optional.

    I am pretty sure that I would not like to sit on a cafe seat recently vacated by an unwashed homeless nudist or perhaps a person with a bowel problem and therefore I have voted for 'under some conditions'

    You have two choices in life:
    You can stay single and be miserable,
    Or get married and wish you were dead.

    Our society is overly obsessed with cleanliness, IMO. There have been studies done showing that we've only weakened our biological defenses against disease by constantly bathing, washing hands, wasting water.

    And could a fear of being labelled as part of the "filthy underclass" be buttressing this insanity? I mean, consider that you went out of your way to say "unwashed HOMELESS nudist"... why not unwashed nudist? Hmmmmmm...

    I think we should be more afraid of the people that bombard us with the images of perfection (which, I'll remind you, come partly from the use of the airbrush&#33 rather than the classes suffering beneath their heels. And I think we should really reconsider the belief that we will only be safer from disease if we keep mixing toxins with lots of water and washing it down the bathtub drain. We need to keep our priorities straight... if we don't have any more clean water, we're gonna be more worried about dehydrating or poisoning ourselves than whether or not we have got all the "germs" off our pretty hands.

    And last, but not least, I think we should let individual communities decide whether or not they want to run around nekked. If you're afraid they're gonna rub their butt germs on "your" seat, then find another community. I don't think laws should play any role in a free society.

    I voted yes.

    How would you like to sit in a cafe with a whole of ugly old fat people. Like me. Yuck. Should it be illegal? No. If they can stand Wisconsin winters, more power to them.

    Today's ideological enemies may be tomorrow's allies, and vice versa. So be nice to your enemies, you may need their help tomorrow.

    Im not gonna run out on the street in the nude, but if someone wants to, by all means, go ahead.

    Would it be better if they were young, beautiful, thin, nude people?

    I'm suprisingly disgusted that people can be so horribly judgemental. Who's being ugly?

    it doesnt matter its not going to affect us that much tthat if they arent clean its not like we more then likely have some sort of medicine tthat can cure it. I dont see why nudity is such a big issue its like the people that are fighting against it dont have private parts at all like they are jsut one live mannquin. we need to use more of our power in informing our political people and gettign them to loosen these rediculous laws.

    My, my what a mess we've made
    Of our pretty little heads these days.
    It appears a heavy wind's blown through here recently.
    Best wishes have been made for you
