Today the Board of Supervisors will vote on a new law in San Francisco that would ban nudity in restaurants for health reasons. Currently there is no law against being nude in San Francisco, so long as the nudist isn't aroused. In response to this new law, SF residents held a Nude-In to protest. The new law also requires those who walk around nude in the city to put something down on a seat before they sit down on it. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/10/21/photos-san-francisco-restaurant-nudity-ban_n_1024533.html Nude-In
I don't agree with the whole thing, but I do agree that people should put something down when they sit... I don't wanna sit in anyone else's dingleberries!

Huh!? Peeps can be naked in SF so long as they are not courting mischief? Extremely unusual. Though I have seen here and there photos of people rollerblading and cycling naked around SF. Gosh, if only some State in Australia could be so liberating and forward thinking! It is standard etiquette to place a towel down anywhere you intend to sit in the nude. I have seen some colossal skidmarks on furniture caused by nudies failing to clean up. I've also seen such types then go into the pool and scrub up. One good reason I avoid pools!! I carry a sarong for my seat; it doubles as some protection from sunburn when wandering.
And I'll bear suffering the conscience for the destruction and control of my finger nails courtesy of Ahmedinejad. < my hands should be cut off when the IMF says so >
Not really. I've seen lotsa naked women on the streets of San Francisco. Of course they're not all hotties, and most of them are lesbians, but that's whatcha got in SF... The only problem with going naked in SF is the weather. It rarely gets past 70 degrees, and it can be sunny and warm one moment and foggy and cold the next. Not the best climate for naturists, but not too bad either!
Both at our county aquatic center and at the nudist park, there are strict rules that you take a shower before going in the pool. I know the pool is treated with germicide, but if enough of us go in there with unwashed bodies, we could overload the system. We owe it to our neighbors to keep clean. As Biggles says, Nudist Life 101 teaches: towel, towel, towel. You ain't in the woods! In the city we take extra steps to protect one another's health. Do it for love, not just because its the law! I have been nude in a restaurant and that should not be banned. You can practice good hygiene easily enough.
Yeah, Dude! I think that this is what America needs... A test kitchen like San Francisco for social innovation to show our prudish skeptical countrymen that: 1. Laws telling people how to dress are inconsistent with a free society. 2. That society doesn't fall apart when we shed our clothes. 3. That we are actually happier and better-adjusted without our clothes. Our children grow up with fewer hangups. 4. That nudity is more practical for most forms of exercise, swimming, sun bathing and strolling. 5. Our skin and entire bodies are healthier with more sunshine and fresh air. (using common sense about sun exposure).
Why make it illegal just 'cause some people think it is not for them? Please come to our nudist park for Saturday night steak cookout. You won't be a stranger for long. Nudists are friendly folks! On a hot summer evening dining al fresco, you'll be a lot more comfortable without your clothes. I realize that if you have lived all your live among clothed people that you might freak out the first time you see people as they really are. But the sooner you get over those prejudices and fears, the sooner you can enjoy life in just your skin. If you have been camping out naked with people for a week, skinny dipping with them, playing volleyball, board games, swapping fishing stories, sitting down to the supper table with them is no big deal.
