Really? It’s come to this? We have to have a discussion about why grownups can’t walk around naked in public? Is this the fall of Rome? Did they walk around naked in the last days of empire? We have lost our minds if this foolishness isn’t ridiculed by even hard left folks. Ridiculous.

Let’s not forget that sodomites lose control of their anal spincter muscles leading to involuntary bowel movements. Fecal material on public surfaces is a serious health hazard. Not that these morons would know that.

My view on the matter to a tee. The people with the worst, vomit-worthy bodies in the world would be the people you’d see. And if you’re a heterosexual male (like me), you certainly don’t want to see males cavorting around san apparel. Hygiene is another great reason to ban public nudity. How would like to walk into a restaurant and be shown a table you’ve just seen a bunch of scraggly nudies leave? Not very much.

Public expression? Of course. Who cares about people’s rights to not witness this “public expression”?

The city commissioners apparently were overcome by complaints of males showing their wares in the gay sections of SF.

Interesting side note: the council person who proposed the new law is named Scott WIENER.

I’ve delivered pizzas to naked people. It was always in a motel, and it was never anyone you’d want to see that way.

Not as strong as the medical reasons in a more frostbite prone climate.

Times have changed. When I was a kid, hanging out on street corners was okay.

There was a time when a “No Shirt ... No Service” sign was all a respectable business needed.

None of these ugly, tattooed bodies will be mistaken for Michelangelo’s “David.” Clothes are their best friend.

Aesthetic Reasons.

The problem with public nudity has always been quality control.
