 Well I m offended by this

I find the article below interesting. Yet I am again offended by people imposing their will upon other's freedom. Read it and you'll understand!


PARIS (Reuters) - Parisian sunbathers will no longer be allowed to go nude or wear g-strings on the capital's artificial beaches and risk a fine if they are caught baring their breasts or buttocks.

City hall has issued a decree banning indecent clothing to preserve the tranquility of the sandy beaches created on the banks of the River Seine every summer since 2001.

"People must behave according to good standards to maintain tranquility, security and public order," the decree said, according to Saturday's edition of Le Parisien. "Notably indecent attire (nude sunbathing, g-strings and toplessness etc) is forbidden."

The city police will be enforcing the rules, and anyone caught baring too much flesh risks a 38 euro ($48) fine.

Defending the decree, city hall sports official Pascal Cherki told Le Parisien that indecent clothing "could have led to temptations and dangerous behavior on the banks of the river."

Topless sunbathing and g-strings are common on real beaches around France in the summer.

I understand both sides of the issue. That's why car shows usually only feature the shiniest cars without any blemishes. Still, to ban all car shows because a few cars have body damage may not be the best solution.

Alas, I too have seen the hip-hugger jeans worn by fashion trendy, yet calory challenged women. Same goes forthe whale-tail thing look. Looks great on fashion models, but not on the 200+ plus woman.

That's why I don't wear a speedo. Ain't no one gonna wanna see that!! But to ban everything because of a few bad examples may not be fair.
