Public Anti-Nudity Laws are jusitfied

***WARNING THIS DEBATE MIGHT HAVE SOME EXPLICIT IMAGERY. READ AT OWN RISK*** I thank my opponent for accepting his debate. I object to my opponent's belief that public nudity is a right granted under freedom of speech. I instead believe that nudity laws should be enforced due to sanitation reasons, rights of other individuals, and through the possibility of accidental rapes occurring. Rebuttal: I. There are restrains on freedom of speech The freedom of speech is an important right. However, one must realize that there must be some restrictions on it. Obviously you cannot say anything, during anytime you want. For example, let's say one yelled "Fire!" in a theater. Would that be protected under the first amendment? No, sense it would cause a panic. Could I spread defamatory false remarks about another person, which I knew to be false? No, since this would be slander, and harm that person. Can I be as loud and obnoxious as I want? No, since it would be labeled as a nuisance and noise complaint. One must even obtain a license if one wishes to protest. Even if public nudity fell under the label of freedom of speech, the freedom of speech has restrictions. II. Public nudity does not fall under freedom of speech However, this does not fall under the freedom of speech. Some consider "freedom of expression" a right equivalent to freedom of speech. However, public nudity does not fall under the label of freedom of speech? There are no thoughts, or ideas expressed. The right to speech is designed so that new ideas, even controversial ideas can be expressed. Open dialog can occur with freedom of speech so that ideas can compete in the "marketplace for ideas". Public nudity does not fall under this category. III. Nudity is allowed in private areas: If one truly wants to be naked, then he/she can go to a nude resort. Private beaches and certain businesses allow people to go naked. One is allowed to go nude in his or her home. One can throw a nude party. Therefore it should be distinguished that it is not illegal to go nude. It is just illegal to be nude in public. Contentions: I. Individuals have the right not to see the nude: Most persons find the penis to be a gross image. Most people do not like looking at the penis. Therefore, if the majority of find the penis to be gross, then these people should have the right to walk around in public and not have to see one. The right of others end, when their rights harm others. It isn't too much to ask for a person to wear pants. II. Nudity is unsanitary Imagine if someone has explosive uncontrollable diarrhea. Now, if one was wearing pants, this can be contained instead of it going everywhere. Same goes if a person decides to touch their penis and sticky stuff comes up. Or what if a person has uncontrollable urination when he/she laughs. Neither one of us want to live in an area filled with human waste. Also, sitting in an area where one's butt and penis was also on is also unsanitary. III. Accidental Rapes can occur I'm sure everyone's had the experience of accidentally bumping into someone before. It's always an awkward experience. But imagine how much more awkward it would be if one's naked penis went into a person's butthole vagina. Would that be rape? The line would be fuzzy. Or what if during the 'accidental bump' the person also ejaculates into the girl. Then the girl gets pregnant. What would happen to the child and again did a rape occur? For these reason, nudity should continue to be illegal in public.
