- This obviously differs from community to community. There are no

- But you aren't "forcing" someone to be uncomfortable. If they have a
- problem with nudity, it's their problem, not yours. Just like if
- someone has a phobia of the color blue, am I supposed to not wear blue
- just so they won't have a fit? (Analogy is not airtight, so if you
- can say no more than rag on the analogy, we know you have nothing else
- to say). I think he's doing this just to point out how wired up
- people can get about this. And WHY? When you see another person,
- given you are an intelligent being, you have a pretty good idea of
- what they look like naked. So what is so disturbing about seeing
- this? Especially when you look very similar?

- Why do all the people that seem to think this seemingly never chosen
