so let me get this straight, there are no shades of grey between a woman covering her entire body for modesty, or a 14 year old puking her guts up to fit into the smallest swimsuit. my point was that we should be able to celebrate our bodies, not cover them up. if you do this by choice, then more power to you, i don't judge adults that make this decision for themselves, my point was that a child should be given that option to display thier bodies to thier level of comfort - not told that they have to be covered up because of what their church/parents deem is morally acceptable.

i am now going to bow out of this debate, as everyone has pointed out, we are all entitled to our opinions, i have simply been voicing mine - and we are never all going to agree.

but to be clear - i AM NOT a religious bigot, i accept people on thier face value, and believe that the path to a fulfilling life is being loved and respected, and giving the same in return, not by the faith in which i do or don't live my life.

i have obviously offended quite a few people, of which was not my intent, but this is a public forum, and the thread is titled DEBATE, so we need to accept that there will be different opinions.
