Would you allow a law that would let people go naked in public?

I'd say yes, except for the fact that it means I wouldn't be able to abuse concealed weapon laws.

No.

Most humans actually look pretty fugly naked, I'd rather not see that.

No. And here's why:

Those laws, like nude beaches, sound damn good on paper. The reality is, you'd be seeing WAY more old man saggin' balls and old lady massively sagging tits than is good for sanity. You'd see fat people, and see EVERY DAMN ROLL OF FAT move as they walked, looking not unlike a Great Unclean One.

In short: FUCK NO. Only way I'd think those laws good is if people needed to be approved to be naked. Weed out the fat, ugly, and old.

No, but not for those reasons. Most people may be able to handle such a situation with maturity and respect, but there are enough jerks around who would ruin it for everyone else (mostly young men of a certain age). There is a reason we all ended up wearing clothes.

I would not. I would perhaps allow there to be designated 'naked areas' where you can go if you want to go around naked, and avoid if you would rather not see naked people.

No, not if it was everyone.

No. Too many people out there who do not look good naked probably think they look great naked. And no body wants to see that.

And letting the good-looking people do it because they're good looking is, one, subjective, and two, just supporting the idea that good-looking people have more natural rights than others.

I'm pretty sure the concept of Law having limits was a translation error. -Wanderlustwarrior

Yes. I've seen a lot of naked people and I have no issues with ugly naked people. In Germany it's (partially) legal, for example some areas of the "Englischer Garten" in Munich.

In general people in Germany are quite used to nudity.

No, if only because it might make certain situations more awkward and difficult to hide.

I don't really care if people want to be naked. Who knows, maybe America would become less prudish as a result.

lol, this was actually a minor plot point in a story I wrote.

No, but for purely practical, not aesthetic reasons. I don't want to sit on a bus seat or theatre seat that someone else has had their naked ass on. Especially not in the summer.

I'm more concerned with sanitation reasons than modesty.

I agree with Deboss, actually.

I don't really care about how good people look. People are allowed outside in neon-orange shirts and purple trousers, and nothing is more horrifying to see then that. I do care about the moronic idiots who are called "young adult males", though.

You've obviously never seen the horrible striped mustard yellow and maroon shirts.

That blows away purple and neon-orange.

Sanitation is a valid concern. Aesthetically, it's a wash — people will get used to it just like they get used to people wearing clothes now. Morally — fuck that. There's no valid moral reason for clothing.

No, because I believe it is wrong and for practical reasons.

Yeah can you imagine if a naked dude ripped a fart on a bus? Without clothes... there'd be NO FILTER FOR IT!
