why care so much

it's not like anyone here goes topless on the beach

let the religious nuts have their laws
I was at the beach just today and thought how awesome it would be if I could go all hippyish and get my nads out in the breeze.

This will be like the laws banning X-rated porn in every state in Australia (introduced in NSW by rev fucking Nile btw)- pointless, never enforced, ever, flagrant violations in every adult shop in Australia. Another pointless, unnecessary law, going against the will of the people.

They should ban breastfeeding too. not just in public, everywhere. I mean, we wouldn't want babies being exposed to the EVIL SEXUAL DEVIANCE of women's breasts.
Ahaha... Lol. I have nothing more to say on the matter.

But breastfeeding is a natural part of life - how could anyone in their right mind want to ban it?!

Again, in the vein of this argument about topless tanning - breastfeeding mothers aren't trying to deliberately flash boob when they're breastfeeding, so if you see it, LOOK AWAY. It's not as if her boob's a mountain, so there's no reason to blame the woman for breastfeeding/topless tanning if you've got the ability to look away!!!
Sarcasm is a foreign language to you, isn't it?

That's quite misleading, there are some dud boobs out there. Old boobs, obese boobs, misshapen boobs. I'd rather have no boobs than some of those boobs.

If you polled the people, I strongly doubt you could pass a referendum banning topless bathing on beaches. Nude beaches in general exist because there is no widespread opposition to people's general freedom to be nude. There are 'free marijuana' lobbys, but there aren't great 'ban nude beaches' lobbys. The movement doesn't exist.

I don't think it's being fair to label the idea of finding nudity generally inoffensive with the tag of 'libertarian extremism'.

Subvert the idea of nudity as offensive by posting topless pics here.

exactly

the average person, rightly or wrongly, considers breasts offensive
Nah, it's a vocal minority.

The reason exposed nipple is bannable on BOS is not because the majority of users would have any problem with it, but because a small minority would and we don't want to exclude them.

Also the fact it's a website for minors and there's the law...

the statement "most people in australia are offended by breasts and would want them banned"

is not the same as the statement "I am offended by breasts and want them banned"
