Well topless is legal here, so I wonder if it would garner the same types of reaction if a woman and man sat on a park bench chatting and both were topless....

I remember a few years ago on the May 24 weekend a couple of young girls tested the limit by riding in their convertible on the 401 and they were topless. They were stopped and told no one could make them cover up.......not legally, but it would contribute to highway safety if t would do so voluntarily. Everyone was gawking....

Then all those gawkers should be losing their licenses as they should be paying attention to the road. If they're doing something legal then they can not be held responsible for other driver's failures.

If I was a cop at an accident with a car in a telephone pole and the driver gave me the excuse that he was distracted by two girls in a car with no shirts on, I'd tell them to grow the hell up and here's your ticket, along with a suspended license.

You can see a monkey spontaniously explode in the middle of the highway, but you're still responsible for the safe operation of the vehicle in which you are in control of..... act like it.

Well, of course everyone would be gawking! This kind of thing is not regulated by legislation, it's regulated by human instincts and impulses. A half naked woman is instinctively perceived by the men as asking for sex.

Are you serious? That's not even a ligit excuse.... men think they're asking for sex if they're exposing their bubblies?

I don't have this preception and nudity doesn't affect me in that manner, only people with an uptight attitude or who haven't seen many breasts in their lives might think that way, but I sure as hell don't. Boobs are just lumps of skin and other tissues and serve no logical use for an adult male.

Let alone, a topless woman is not asking for any old man to jump them and have sex with them, let alone asking for sex to begin with. When I'm strolling around naked, am I asking to get a ride on from a girl? No.... so why should it be any different?

Some men need to get their heads out of their scrotums.

If she runs into serious trouble, she'll have no one to blame, but herself. This kind of behavior is going to be safe only after all the human beings learn total control of their instincts. I don't think it's going to happen anytime soon :smile:

Maybe some people just lag behind the rest.... and so long as you keep making excuses for people like this to just do as they please to someone because they think "they're asking for it" then people won't grow beyond this mentality.

Many other countries have more slacked nudity laws then us and even have less crimes related to them then we do..... how would one explain that?

Iran: Two More Executions for Homosexual Conduct

(New York, November 22, 2005) – Iran’s execution of two men last week for homosexual conduct highlights a pattern of persecution of gay men that stands in stark violation of the rights to life and privacy, Human Rights Watch said today.
The execution of two men for consensual sexual activity is an outrage. The Iranian government’s persecution of gay men flouts international human rights standards.


Jessica Stern, researcher with the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Rights Program at Human Rights Watch.
On Sunday, November 13, the semi-official Tehran daily Kayhan reported that the Iranian government publicly hung two men, Mokhtar N. (24 years old) and Ali A. (25 years old), in the Shahid Bahonar Square of the northern town of Gorgan.

The government reportedly executed the two men for the crime of "lavat." Iran’s shari`a-based penal code defines lavat as penetrative and non-penetrative sexual acts between men. Iranian law punishes all penetrative sexual acts between adult men with the death penalty. Non-penetrative sexual acts between men are punished with lashes until the fourth offense, when they are punished with death. Sexual acts between women, which are defined differently, are punished with lashes until the fourth offense, when they are also punished with death.

We should be glad we live in a tolerant society.

Exactly T. So long as we still have men and women being targeted and attacked because of their sexuality, we can't claim to be a tolerant society.

Not to mention the host of other qualities/characteristics that some people won't accept.
