threetonesun Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 Students fight for right to bare all BENNINGTON, Vermont (Reuters) -- Students occasionally parading buck naked around Vermont's Bennington College campus has been a tolerated, if peculiar, part of the university's student culture here since the 1960s.Now Robert Graves, hired this year as Bennington's dean of students, has embarked on a crusade against public nudity -- one that has run afoul of the school's free-spirited students. Read On Well, I'm sure the hippy breeding ground that is Vermont plays a factor in this, but it's amusing none the less. A lot of colleges in the area are known for their uber-liberal stances, and nudity always seems to push someones button. What say you? Is it America being overly prudish, or college students being to lazy to wear pants? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Veteran Posted December 9, 2004 Veteran Share Posted December 9, 2004 I streaked a few times at my college. Once while visiting another as well. I somehow convinced this girl to do it with me, I found out she had a tatoo on her butt. Pretty interesting seeing people's reactions to a nude guy running behind a nude girl around the quad... Good times... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nowimnothing Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 (edited) I think this is only relating to patented seeds developed by American companies. Same rules that apply here as well. The part that you ommitted from your post seemed to suggest that is the cse:So an agricultural company doesn't want their patented product spread around without royalties paid for their work and development? Ok... 585073195[/snapback] streaking "The Lawn" at my University (Virginia) was considered somewhat of a rite of passage - everyone pretty much did it before graduation. start at The Rotunda, kiss homer's ass (statue of Homer at the other end of the lawn) and then back again. this also lead to a new fun past time - "spotlighting". Its amazing how many kids who live on the lawn these days own those really friggin' bright spotlights... wonder why...

Honestly though, I don't see why nudity, or at least topless...ness (osity?) is frowned upon. It's not like people at the beach leave much to imagination anyway, might as well just go and make everybody happy. Lousy Puritans with their lousy boards in their beds and lousy brown hats.

JK1150 Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 people don't ilke public nudity because they don't want to worry about walking around with kids and having them see a partially nude lady walk around the corner and expose them to that type of stuff at a young age.

Why would they? You know if everyone started walking naked, it would just be normal. Maybe clothing is the problem ---- oh yes of course it is!

Fred Derf Veteran Posted December 9, 2004 Veteran Share Posted December 9, 2004 Naked != Porn 585074547[/snapback] Exactly. A lot of little kids wouldn't even notice unless you react. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of little kids wouldn't even notice unless you react. 585074600[/snapback] Unless you program them to think all nudity except for shirtless males is bad bad bad....unless it is your wife of course. But letting them watch the Terminator or Rambo and seeing 100 killings is okey dokey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
