The sidewalk is not their place of worship. The sidewalk is not a holy place.

@robertblake9892 with that logic the Orthodox Jew and Muslim and Amish would have to run around half naked in San Fransisco. Streets are public places. The flashing everyone is unacceptable in any community.

@rt8532 what point. It’s not a private compound it’s a few blocks of a NYC neighborhood with other people there as well. We are not a majority rules place but a country where the rights of the minority opinion protected. It’s not the FLDS compound in Texas. This is the U.S. it’s not some theocratic country with a 99% population of a single faith where there is a dress requirement.

@robertblake9892 I’ve seen the Amish in a downtown Chicago intersection. America is a wonderful place.

@rt8532 I think you are responding to the wrong person. I’d wear shorts in that neighborhood if weather called for it. You can’t expose yourself. She was a flasher. There are laws against that have nothing to do with religion. I was a children’s librarian public library. If she was inside the library with a trench and opened it to reveal herself naked I’d call the cops and expect them to arrest her. I’m saying people do not have to adhere to a community standard that the majority represents just cause they are on the same block. So I would not be covering myself. Nor exposing myself if in a warmer climate.

@karenfenter1139 NY is part of the U.S. and the only dress code is wearing a bathing suit at the beach and at least that much everywhere else. You don’t have to dress on the sidewalk any other way in any area. Those countries you speak of have clothing requirements.

@1BestCookie there are many reasons people may be on a public sidewalk in that neighborhood. Decide to live in a populated area of a big U.S. city you see people dressed unlike yourself. This is not a gated community or private property.

@1BestCookie no. It’s America. It does not matter if you are a little league team or their parent coming in mass to use the park. It does not matter if on a tour. Of course a store can refuse service to anyone. I’m talking the sidewalk and public outdoor space. The signs put up saying to dress a certain way would be wrong. Period. A group of people from a commune or religion that just happen to live there in the majority on that block or blocks do not have some ability to decide what happens on the sidewalk. Others on sidewalk there by chance or in group do not have to adhere to some community expectation. This is not Iran. This is not Turkey. It does not mean birthday suit. Obvious swim suit parts covered. I don’t think you realize how it is elsewhere in the world.

I do not understand why there is us and them between the Jewish communities.

@1BestCookie no people go upstate to show off “status” and get out of the hellish city in the heat so the kids can have fun and breathe. I grew up in a Chicago neighborhood myself and we always went to Michigan for the summer and lived in a trailer on a campground when kids. Parents went on their days off. If you are touring San Fran you don’t have show respect wearing a tie dye rainbow t shirt and short shorts. Just come as you are.

@1BestCookie nope. Chose to live in a major city with sidewalks.

@1BestCookie it’s fine for others intentionally gracing the block with their presence to dress however they want.

I do not care what the sign says. I will wear clothes. I will wear what I want on the street. But I will be wearing something and it will be more than a bathing suit.

It’s a sidewalk. Wear what you want. In no place can you not wear nothing though. I would think you would have to dress separate to show others you are living separate from the world unlike themselves. Is that not the point of how the community lives? To be set apart? So I think you are more respectful looking secular.

@lancelothogben1297 that is my point.

@intorainbowzOG as I said obviously swim suit covered. There are actually laws about covering private parts. A group can’t declare hair or knee a part to be covered. The collective can’t simply make up their own.

You should be arrested walking down any sidewalk naked intentionally.
