"Nudity, like profanity, bothers only those who would benefit most from it becoming more common place."

Really?

davidphogan: He should just move somewhere that allows naked people.

I'm sure people said the same thing during prohibition, just leave the country go someplace else and drink. You like to smoke dope? Just move to Amsterdam. People just want to be free, and if they aren't hurting anyone else I say let them.

/would rather have to avert my eyes of a thousand naked ugly fat people then have to inhale the cigarette smoke of one person.

I'd rather smoke a cigg in your face than let you have what you want.

nah not really, just bored at work.

No worries. I am sitting outside on my deck in the shade in 100 degree weather listening to tunes drinking wine just thinking that I could get arrested and fired from my job and put on a sex offender registry if I simply wanted to sit outside naked.

thong?

I figured it was for drinking wine on a hot day while having a penis.

Link previous article where he was picked-up immediately after release from a 2 year sentence. The list of "related articles" is longer.

He was also naked in jail, and kept in solitary because of it.

BTW- Perth Prison is in Scotland. He WAS in England when he made his first journey from "Land's End", which is the furthest western tip of England. He is still in the UK, and has stayed within the UK throughout this ordeal.

The words: England, Scotland, UK, and Great Britain all have individual meanings and are not always interchangeable.

United Kingdom of Great Britain (United Kingdom, UK, or Britain, for short) is a country reference which includes the countries of Northern Ireland, England, Scotland and Wales.
Great Britain is a reference to the Continent which includes the countries of England, Wales, and Scotland.

So if you are in Scotland, you are in the UK, and in Great Britain, but you are not in England.
If you are in Northern Ireland, you are in the UK, but not Great Britain, and not England.

The reason to keep nudity illegal is that if you don't, it becomes meaningless. The forbidden fruit tastes much sweeter.

And what, they let him be naked in prison?? I doubt that.

I stand corrected. That must have been very cold for him.

There is at least one Farker who will be very happy to hear this news.

bubo_sibiricus: He said: "To conform with everyone else is the easiest way but when you conform you compromise your principles.

"I am not going to give up. Stay naked is the word."


Hasn't he heard? The Bird is the Word.

I'm so glad I live somewhere I could walk home from work naked if I wanted to. It's not going to happen, but it's nice knowing I could.

This thread is just fine without pics.

hbk72777: Why does he need a backpack that big if he doesn't wear clothes?

Sunscreen.

Lots and lots of sunscreen.

LargeCanine: If only there was a penal colony he could be sent where his behavior would be less problematical to polite society...

He is one crazy dude, walking around naked. He's not molesting children, or even being sexually aggressive. As long as he doesn't sit down on public transportation, I'm not sure what "problems" he's causing society.

Dirtybird971: Mr Gough has spent the majority of the last decade behind bars due to his determination to live his life without clothes.

Ok. at some point he should have said "self, maybe I could wear a loin cloth or a flap of cloth rather than wasting a decade in prison while I say I miss my kids and mother" I mean give me a break, principles are great but freedom is better.

stupid is as stupid does.

They aren't principles if you abandon them for comfort. I don't agree with this guy, but I applaud his effort and commitment.

Salem Witch: Stay naked my friends.

Amen

if your naked where the hell do you keep your Burger King coupons??

Some might say its questionable that his commitment to the principle of "walking around naked" is more important to him than the principle of, oh i don't know, "not abandoning your children so you can walk around naked"

Came to post hanging-or-Australia, see my work is already done.

Because subby thinks that it is entirely appropriate to keep someone jailed for 600+ days just because he likes to trot around naked. How's that winning US mentality working out for you, subby ?

You can hike naked on any BLM land, it's legal. Try and be thoughtful when you do. You need not wear clothes in the city of San Francisco, California however you must carry a towel with you to sit on for hygienic reasons. Join the American Association For Nude Recreation (AANR). Ever play Naked Coed Volleyball? It's a hoot.

Dirtybird971: principles are great but freedom is better.

Dreamless: Freedom > principles. Got it!

Et Al


Freedom IS a principle, you dumb farkheads. You can't disregard one without disregarding the other.

/ever since we invited newspaper readers to come by....

Well, when you make everything a crime, police are forced to prioritize.

Rich Cream: You can't disregard one without disregarding the other.


And just so we're clear, submitting to someone's will to maintain one self's freedom is not freedom.

The article said he's been released, and re-arrested 60 seconds after release. WTF is that all about? Not even enough time to get dressed if he had changed his ways

Cops like naked men.

Menace II Sobriety: So did I read something wrong or is this in Australia?

Unless he broke the law so many times in the UK that they sent him to Australia and then they decided to let him to an awesome naked walkabout....

/what the hell is wrong with nudity anyways?
//WONT SOMEONE THINK OF THE KIDS!!!
///not a nudist.

If the story isn't about deadly snakes and spiders, us Americans think Australia is England.

//England, that's a city right?

He has a point. It is pretty ridiculous that it is against the law to be naked in public. We're put on Earth naked. We're created naked. Yet, because of some Biblical fairytale, we are now required to be covered up all the time. Why aren't more atheists getting worked up about this? Why aren't the conservatives getting worked up about the government's mandate on purchasing clothing?

Nudity is protected as a form of speech by the Oregon state constitution.

Neato: I've never found nudity laws to make any sense. I have to look at people's ugly mugs and deal with attitudes all day and they can be far worse than some unkempt bush. And it's not like nudity has ever harmed the psyche of children. Most of them refuse to wear clothes until at least 3.

Because, Jesus and dinosaurs and shiat

Spud Boy: It's all fun and games until a dingo runs off with your wedding tackle.

Well you're supposed to ply them with candy, flowers, and wine first.

So, ummmm...where's the part about the U.K.???

If the Australian police wanted to have some real fun, they'd arrest him near the middle of September, fly him to Alaska, just a few miles south of the Arctic Circle, but still several hundred miles from any town. Tell him they'll let him in the nice warm airplane just as soon as he puts on some clothes.

Bible based laws for everyone! Yay!

Clothes predated the bible by about 100 milliennia.

Silly Jesus: Bible based laws for everyone! Yay!

Because until the Bible, the weather was so nice and calm that we didn't need to wear anything to protect us from the elements.

1968, I lived in a Hippy commune in Empire, Oregon, "Animal Farm #2" learned about how stupid it was to get tight over being naked.

Your quote worked well, in my context.

/i know i know

Dead-Guy: Great Britain is a reference to the Continent which includes the countries of England, Wales, and Scotland.

There are only 7 continents and I'm pretty sure "Great Britain" isn't one of them. It's only a part of the continent known as Europe.

Great Janitor: So, ummmm...where's the part about the U.K.???

Try reading the part where he was arrested in Britain, walking between two places in Britain, he is British, and was locked up in a British Prison. Is that good enough? You shoulda just read the comments to see others make the same mistake.

Great Janitor: Silly Jesus: Bible based laws for everyone! Yay!

Because until the Bible, the weather was so nice and calm that we didn't need to wear anything to protect us from the elements.

Huh?

So a law saying that we have to wear clothes at all times, no matter what the weather, is simply there so that we don't forget to wear a jacket in the snow?

Even nudists wear clothing when the weather dictates it.
