"laying" is what you do during sex.

"lying" is what you do after sex. Either just lying there, or: "Was it good for you too?" "Yes".

[tcostell]

...That's something you just don't want touch."

I respectfully beg to differ.

[MHGinTN]

Is it Public Property?... well then, pass an ordinance that proscribes sunbathing in scanty costumes or in the nude on that Public Property. Then, when the idiots show up to push the limits, arrest them and fine them, bigtime! Might be a nice way to raise a few thousand for Charleston coffers ... call it paying theior voluntary taxes for their volutary disobedience to the laws of Public display, if they like, but fine the bejeebers out of the little pissants.

LOL! Amen, reverend!

[Scenic Sounds]

I'm just damned glad they don't have anything like this where I live.

[bluefish]

Gee, your solution is how the Democrats try to stop everything they don't like. Same philosophy, different topic. I'm offended by bald guys, fat people and beards. If I am in power, your thinking would allow me to fine / "tax" the beejeebers out of all of these things too.

[Big Steve]

Have a good night everyone. Keep this thread going.

[MHGinTN]

Your PC whining doesn't even phase my intolerance level, honey.

[Lib-Lickers 2]

I lived in Charleston for 23 years and have been to the College of Charleston many times and dated a girl that went there and I'm outraged,, outraged I tell ya that more babes aren't taking advantage of Marion Square,, Joe Riley got one right,, I was opposed to his getting the city to mandate a closing time for area bars however,,,

[Lady In Blue]

Thanks for the ping,Big Steve! I'm kind of surprised at South Carolina! I thought this kind of indecency was found on the East Coast and the Left Coast! These kids! I don't just don't know!

>>"laying" is what you do during sex. <<

oh. I failed to catch the slang.

First, try to figure out what PC is, and why it is bad.

I'm not doing the whining. You are. You are whining about sunbathers. PC folks whine about people being free to think and do what they want. Your solution is to "tax" the sunbathers b/c it offends you. I point out that your aggressive solution to this horrible problem of girls sunbathing is not much differnent than the way Leftists deal with their own silly issues. You then refer to my comment as PC whining. You don't even get it, HONEY.

The PC crowd tries to eliminate what offends them through regulation, taxation, fines, etc. The PC crowd is quite totalitarian and does not respect individual freedom. Your desire to control society is no different than theirs. Your moral and philosophical beliefs about the purpose of goverment is identical to that of the Leftists. The only difference is the silly issues you choose to get your panties in a bunch over.

The problem with PC HONEY is that it imposes a moral view on others, at the cost of freedom.

Why are you on FREE Republic? Maybe you should start a new site: Taliban Republic. It would fit your style well. Heck, why stop at taxation. Maybe we should herd 'em into a soccer stadium and put a gun to their head. Then we can make the rest of the women wear Burkhas, so as not to offend your sensibilities.

[MHGinTN]

You've convinced me. Up until this very post, I was of the opinion (mistakenly, obviously) that the Libertarian people were a breath of fresh air on the political scene. But you've now convinced me that they are, rather than the criminal enterprise democrat party, the people of degeneracy, the champions of hedonism. Thank you so much for enlightening me on this issue.

[goldstategop]

Let's just ban ogling at beautiful women. Problem solved.

[bluefish]

It's sunbathing Mullah MHGinTN. Try to get some perspective.

You have convinced ME that SOME social conservatives, like yourself, have such a distorted view of what is important in the grand scheme of things that they cannot even recognize a simple aregument for what it is. You presume to know where I stand politically. You assume to much.

Your view, Mullah MHGinTN, explains why brutal dictatorships and theocracies around the world sitll exist and why we have to end them. People like you value their own twisted sense of superior morality, over liberty and freedom. You would sacrifice freedom and support the use of a totalitarian police state to put an end to the horrors of sunbathing LOL.

[Joe Hadenuf]

This guy better never come to the beaches of California..He would implode......

[Big Steve]

You are welcome for the ping, LiB.

[Big Steve]

Either in California or in South Florida- Ft. Lauderdale, Miami Beach, West Palm Beach, etc.

[MHGinTN]

ZZZZt ... wrong. I value the innocence of children far more than the amount of skin you seem to crave in public places. Sunbathing in a public park where impressionable children are exposed to string bikinis and topless coeds is just not a level of debauchery I will tolerate. And thank you for the high praise.

[bluefish]

Ahhh... I see. Your dream police state is "For the Children" now. Wonder where I've heard that before?

I can name a lot of places around the world where your innocent eyes don't have to be assaulted by a coed in a bikini. You might have to give up God in exchange for Allah mind you, but those places have accomplished what you would have for us here already. The children there aren't exposed to any of the debauchery and depravity of which you speak either. Some of these places may be paradise for you.
