Ahh Canada, where you can walk around topless, if you're female and you so
choose (k, that's Ontario only right now, but as yet I have seen no evidence of
women excercising that legal right), where you can have on your person under 15
grams of wacky tobacky without it being a capital offence, and where you can get
married to someone of the same sex...

Though the last two may not last too long in Martins regime... we shall see what
transpires there...

But overall, those wacky Canadians, with their liberal laws and all!!

God love 'em!

I'm curious.  What do you think about the concept of "decency"?

Freedom without respect and responsibility is meaningless.

As an aside, in Europe you probably couldn't go a block without seeing some
marquee or billboard without seeing an advert with a topless model selling
something...  what is it about North America?  It was a breast!  And it, so I'm
told, for I didn't TiVo it and do a frame by frame peek-see, had a 'pastie' over
the nipple!!

You obviously don't have kids and are trying to raise them to become decent
people.

Holy great mother of Teetsville!!!  The uproar!  The furor!!

Eh, whatever...

Of course you are an adult and can handle such inanities-- try to think beyond
your self for answers.
