Nenshi cancels nude swim
https://news.google.com/news/amp?cau...181#pt0-867199
Not my cup of tea however nudists have been around for ever and body gawking is not everywhere. Beaches in France for instance. So what does it take to cancel freedom? Apparently threaten bombing and windshield breaking. Nenshi said the city can’t protect participants. How about a squad car with a cop in it? Rather than cower in the face of threats to freedom let’s look at home to the city running scared. |
This sounds like an interesting story, but the link doesn't work for me :(

I wouldn't have a problem with this if it were restricted to adults.
Do children frolick around nude beaches in europe? Are kids allowed in strip clubs or R rated movies? Theres a reason kids aren't supposed to be exposed to adult nudity. Furthermore, an event like this could potentially attract perverts who want to see kids naked. |
The fact that it is a family friendly event is good reason for it to be cancelled. The pervert to child ratio would be greater than we should be comfortable with.

There must be a race or a contest who can think of the stupidest things to come up with. What is happening to our society. No morals or nothing no more. This world is turning into a ball of filth and wrong.

Didn't man start out as a naked being? Are people not born naked? This is nothing new, look into it. Seems to be no problem in Edmonton.
For reference: http://cottontailcorner.ca/ Been going on in Edmonton pools for some time. Yes, I agree children should not be part of it as they are not of age to decide for themselves mind you there are places in this world that nudity is normal and the thought of a discussion such as this wouldn't even be considered. |

What I don't understand is how there can be a nudist camp on the banks of the NS River with pictures of the members wading naked in a public place but if a person were to expose themselves in such a manner in downtown Edmonton or Calgary they would be arrested immediately. How does that work?
from the Criminal Code http://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/a...ction-174.html Nudity 174 (1) Every one who, without lawful excuse, (a) is nude in a public place, or (b) is nude and exposed to public view while on private property, whether or not the property is his own, is guilty of an offence punishable on summary conviction. |

Nudity isn't sexual in itself, it is but a natural state of being. I think too many here are picturing an orgy when a nude swimming event is mentioned. Personally I'm not a nudist but I do think that it's wrong to deny a private club the right to engage in a legal activity. At least the Purple Prince is on board...

It doesn't work to take our non-nudist mindset and declare that it's inappropriate for kids (because we can't disassociate nudism with sexuality). Nudism/naturism is completely non-sexual and therefore entirely appropriate for kids. There's nothing sensual about it and kids brought up in that atmosphere find it a non-event.
I'd venture to say that we might have more pervs in our clothed and private environments than in those, just from the viewpoint that when things are transparent and in the open it's hard to hide your evil deeds or thoughts. JMO. I like to keep an open and tolerant mind to these things. It's not my cup of tea but so are many other things that me and the gov should keep our nose out of. |

Hmm I guess that being a private club means that none of the members could be pedophiles. :snapoutofit: Newsflash there are pedophiles and perverts in all demographics and all varying levels of social status and not necessarily the creepy old man living by himself, to believe otherwise is utilizing the same mentality of sticking your head in the sand as those who believe that gun registration will stop crime. If a bunch of adults want to get together and frolic naked that is their choice but lets leave the kids out of it until they are old enough to make their own rational decision about the topic.
