I don't care what people do in their bedrooms, but I would feel uncomfortable and irritated and would take it as an attack against my as well as public sense of reverence (Pietät) if needing to sit in a bus beside such idiots. I would also refuse to accept having to sit in a bus beside a naked couple. that the company is apologizing and evades into arguments about safety instead of telling them they are behaving like a$$holes and are an offense to the public, is cowardish, perverse, and another sign how far culture in the widest sense already has detoriated.
It's a simple thing of behavior, nothing else.

PC nonsense yes, but this time from the bus company and you, since you are the one complaining about not wanting to be offended. The bus companys claim that they could pose a threat to fellow passengers in case of rapid deacceleration is complete horse****. Personally I wouldnt have a problem with public nudity, but I can understand why that is where the line is usually drawn. About what you say in one of the later posts in this threat that there is no unlimited froodom for self-expression in a society, I agree with you, but this falls well within acceptable limits. In a free society one should allways expect to see things that offend.
