Should people be allowed to walk naked through city streets?

Question

There is a Frenchman , currently walking (and cycling) around San Sebastian (Basque Country) as naked as the day he was born.

He is claiming it his human right to walk around bare assed .The human body is beautiful.

He reckons that it is the people who are looking only at his genitalia that have the problem as this is only 1% of his whole body.

I´m sorry I can´t provide a link in English, but if you click on the video here at the start you´ll see him on his bike.

I saw him in a half marathon race a few months ago which he also ran wearing only a hat and his shoes. It was December.

What do you think?

Answer 1

Every town has at least one loony tune.

Answer 2

only the good looking ones.

Answer 3

Well it would save alot of time in more waus than one lol

Answer 4

Depends how fit they look..lol !

Answer 5

I should think so, provided he/she placed a piece of cloth or cushion under the bum when they sit down. I won't want to sit on or touch something that has been in contact with the naked underparts.  

Answer 6

would u enjoy looking at old , obsese, drooping bodies??? i don't think so

Answer 7

Now if this guy was a dirty old man in a raincoat flashing at all and sundry he would be arrested for for sure. So whats the difference He may think his body is beautifull but I bet the majority don't.

  

Answer 8

definitely no.

Answer 9

well he has a point, I so wish that we could walk around naked when its red hot, I have 7 months of scorching weather a year.

ps on 2nd thoughts, I better stick to my clothes and keep naked around the house.

I would hate to offend anyone

Answer 10

I'd be very inclined to say yes, we should be allowed to do that, but for one, I personally wouldn't like to see some old man's todger when I'm on the train to work first thing in the morning.

Answer 11

Not if they are fat, hairy , t*ts hanging down like Aubergines, and have an over hanging belly. No, they should be shot with tranquilisers if they start any of that

Answer 12

No, I'm sorry the answer is a definitive no, you do not impose it on people where they do not want it.  My grandfather was actually a naturist, although estranged from my grandmother, and in tracing the family history I have found our that he actually campaigned very sensibly for naturist camping sites etc in line with any other recreational land use, but imposing it on other people - no way.

Answer 13

one day soon you won't need to take your clothes off in public,The Government is considering installing X-ray cameras on lampposts to spot armed terrorists and other criminals.

Answer 14

I am in agreement with his thinking on the issue. Living in the UK there is no way I'm going to follow suit, it's too damned cold!

Answer 15

Although, it would take me a few years to get used to seeing it, I agree with his reasoning.  It should be people's rights to do this on public property.

We need less restrictions and less government in our life.  This sounds like a great place to start.

Answer 16

only the best specimens of either gender, to give the rest of us something to aspire to

Answer 17

Might be his human right to walk around naked, but it's human laws that say he can't because it's considered to be indecency. Personally I couldn't care less what he does or doesn't wear. If he's not wearing clothes, that's up to him, but at the same time he shouldn't complain if he gets lifted by the local police.

There was a guy in the UK a couple of years ago who tried walking from Lands End to John O'Groats whilst naked. And he did just that, more or less. By the time he got to the north of Scotland he'd taken months longer than walking that far should have taken because he'd been arrested for public indecency dozens of times.

Whether you should be allowed to do it or not is pretty much a moot point. The law in practically every land in the world requires, at the very least, your genitalia to be covered up. If that's something practically the whole world agrees on, I'd wonder why this man thinks he's right and everyone else is wrong.

Answer 18

YES as long as their between 18 and about 40 and are female..

Woman are beautiful ,unfortunately men without clothes is very very nasty ...lol lol lol lol  

Answer 19

I think people should wear clothes.

He may think it's his right to walk around naked but it's my right to not be subjected to the horror of seeing a hairy *** crack everyday.  

Answer 20

He is completely wrong as most human bodies are not beautiful. All men do not look like Beckham in their undies or without.

And all women do not look like supermodels. If we were all equally beautiful I might reconsider. Have you been to a beach recently?

Answer 21

I say YES. Go for it.  Why not.  It saves on clothes.  No clothes, no washing, no ironing, no nothing.  Perfect.  

Answer 22

Only Fit Women - Because lets face it, anything else is completely unacceptable!

Answer 23

Allowed? I think that they should be made to. Unshaven as well. Put me down to carry the banner.

Sister Anna will carry the banner today

"I carried the banner yesterday"

"You'll carry the bast.rd today"

"But I'm in the family way"

"Your in everybobdys way"

Answer 24

No, they shouldn't be allowed. I don't know why I have a feeling that some people want humans to go  back the stone age   mentally and  physically

Answer 25

No! Wat would the children think??????????

Answer 26

Well if I did it with my boney *** it would make everyone want to cover up ! Plus they would be rushing to dress me ! Oh dear it would surely hurt riding a bike ??  

Answer 27

yes. i love looking at naked men.

Answer 28

It is his right at his own house. In public there are usually rules of decorum. He has rights but so does everyone else. Who wants to see his old naked parts on display, ew.

Answer 29

no its disgusting

Answer 30

Live and let live.

Let it all hang out...

...and all that jazz.

Answer 31

Yes they should and remember everybody is getting old.
