Resolved: Public Nudity should be legal

Refutations:Contention one:Here is where my opponent attempts to pull a fast one on us. I would like to remind my opponent that the resolution calls into question nudity in PUBLIC, and that his source addresses nudity in PRIVATE (i.e. in your own home). I'd kindly like for him to stay on topic next round and address the actual resolution. But, moreover, it does have the potential to harm people on the emotional/mental level. If the person is of a more conservative background, they may view the indecent exposure as offensive and harmful to themselves. Or, in a more drastic case, if the person in the nude was, well, not exactly aesthetically pleasing, it could be harmful mentally. So, just logically, his contention is false. Contention two:Kinda irrelevant to the resolution, don'tcha think? The is shouldn't affect the ought, and I was thinking we would be debating the ought here. If something is taboo right now, what does that matter on what it should be? Please keep arguments relevant to the resolution at hand.Contention Three:Okay? Nothing inherently sexual about nudity. Gotcha. I fail to see how the lack of sexuality in being naked mandates that we allow people to run around the streets in nothing but their birthday suit.So far, my opponent has not presented a relevant case for why we should legalize public nudity. His only points address private nudity and why nudity currently is looked at with a funny face. In so far as he's failed to uphold HIS BOP, I'll present an argument of my own.Con Contention:So let's make a little thought trip. Let's say we go through with legalizing public nudity. People nation-wide throw off their clothes in joy, renounce the entire clothing industry, and refuse to purchase clothing for the rest of their sorry lives! That's probably a good thing for the pro, since it signals his victory, but at what cost is the victory? "Well, no one is harmed by public nudity, so there isn't a cost!" pro would argue. I would agree on a physical scale, but what about a monetary scale? I mean, if they're going entirely nude, then they have no need for clothing, correct? That means that the clothing industry is going to take a hit, and probably a bit one. But how big of a hit? Let's think about things.From what I've got, the average price of clothes and things that people would stop wearing for one person per month is 142 dollars(1). Over a year (which is multiply 142 by 12), that adds up to over 1500 dollars a year (1704 specifically). Now, since I couldn't find any specific stats for nation-wide supporters of public nudity, this is where we have to speculate. Let's say that a good guesstimate number of people who would actively support it would be around 10,000 across the nation. That's over 17 million dollars a year. Let's go a bit bigger, though, since people who aren't actively support it now might support it once it's passed, which is valid logic. Let's say, maybe 50,000 end up going gung ho for the public nudity full time. That's over 85 million dollars from the clothing industry per year. Of course this is all averages since some people spend ridiculously more than others, who may spend ridiculously less than others. But if the average is anywhere close to what the actual impact is, over the course of just a few years the impact would be devastating. Thus, since I have fulfilled my BOP and my opponent has failed to fill his, the vote is an easy con vote.Source:http://www.bundle.com...;
