Naked charity ramblers have complained that the long arm of the law was too heavy-handed in marshalling their fundraising walk.



The group of about 20 walkers was reportedly followed by 10 officers, patrol cars and a helicopter on a 20-mile hike along the path in Dorset.

They were walking from Swanage to Lulworth Cove on June 2 to raise money for the Marine Conservation Society.

But senior police decided the group posed a public risk and marshalled the naturists under a carefully-planned operation codenamed Thistle.

Amoing those who are stinging about the police is Bernard Boase, 63, who was asked to cover up by a police officer halfway through the walk.

He refused and was arrested and charged with harassment - but the case was later dropped because of a lack of evidence.

"The police harassed us far more than we could have harassed anybody else by our presence," said Mr Boase.

He claimed passers-by happily greeted the ramblers, who were wearing just rucksacks a

I have a female friend that i have feelings for. I have texted her in the past. Her boyfriend found out and has started checking her phone. My friend sees this as a problem but ignores it. I'm left feeling like i'm in the wrong for texting in the first place. The texts are always innocent. Anyhting more personal i tell her in person.
Her boyfriend is suspicious and clearly jealous.
Does that make checking her phone right?
I have my opinion. I'd like to hear other peoples.

Back in my young adulthood (early 20's) I worked in retail and as you all know who have worked in retail, there is alot of shoplifting. I noticed a pattern...the people who were always innocent had no problem with you looking in their bag. We would ask, and they would willingly hand it over...On the other hand, the people who shoplifted would always get immediately defensive and say things like "I didn't do anything!" or "I'm going to sue you for invading my privacy!" They were never cooperative and always defensive.

So my question is if I asked to see your bag, what would I find? Do you feel the need to be defensive or cooperative and open? (metaphorically speaking of course). Would I find anything that should probably not be there?

I see people argue about facts not matching because their "facts" are not literally the same.

Religion includes science easily (just gimme a chance), just take the Book that contradicts itself on its message, not its text.

i prayed that the rockies would win the series. my buddy prayed for the red sox. i guess he prayed harder than me? now, he believes in god and i don't.

does god have an address where i can send my prayers quicker? if two people pray for opposite things, who wins?

either god answers prayers or he doesn't....if he only answers some prayers, how do we know that isn't coincidence?

then why doesn't He help me when i feel sad and numb, why do i have no friends and a life full of personal hate and despair. Where was my Father when i needed him?? It just doesn't make sence believing in God and hoping when you get nothing in return from Him, why is life so unfair, why is that guy cooler than me while he has done nothing more than me to deserve it. Doen't God helps us because he hates us, not any loving God whould give people who are sad nothing but self- hate, destructional behavior. It is mostly the people who are sad and hope that God will help them go insane and start killing themselves or other people, where is our Father when all this happens, he could've prevented it if he gave some guidance to that sad person. I just can'tbelieve that their is a God helping us when we feel hopeless.

Some say corporations. others say individuals. I say a combonation of the two. Why is it that junk food must be so much cheaper than healthier foods? Actually that i can answer, because ground up animal remains are the main ingredient in them. no body would buy a package labeled Pig brains and intestenes so why do millions of americans scarf down Big Mac's and what not?

Well I'm wondering why Athiests (Please dont hate on me for saying this) try to prove there is no god? What did christians ever do to them? Also how comes they only talk about christians? Maybe because its the biggest religion in the world or something? I've read the bible and it even says that people will try to convince others that god isnt real.
Also, why wouldnt you wanna believe in a God? You have a better chance of Life of Eternity if you do....Just wondering. (If you are a athiest I have nothing against you) 1 more thing, christians never push there believes on people like athiests do (let me know if im wrong with that! Heh..)
That's all.

seeing how Hilary is gonna win for the Democrats and seeing how from previous elections, majority of people (red states) are still "conservative" in the USA (so no female presidents) that I have a strong undesirable feeling that the Republicans will win the next presidential race. that would mean America is going into another unfortunate economic depression.

with so many red staters, does that mean America is continuously going to be a land of racist bigotry, seeing how there's no future opportunity to change?

then again, nowadays, democrats and republicans are the same in America. so USA is pretty much a one party dictatorship.

Any reference in there of catholicism doesn't have to do with me (I'm a christian) but I agree nonetheless with their summarization.
Anyone who values God's teachings and wishes to raise holy children should be wary of this movie and its books.

since believing in Jesus Christ is the only requirement to get you to heaven, it doesn't make any difference what you do as long as you believe in Him, right?

Let Jesus into your heart? Hand your will over to Jesus? Why? Why are Christians so affraid of themselves? Do you really believe people can't control their urges to sin if it were not for religion? So many questions... I know. It just seems trivial that the free will to think for yourself has to be given up to be considered good in God's eyes.

How can you properly dlineate a differnce if they are all called the same thing? Wouldn't it be a slur considering all the rest are fakes.

There are volumes of mythology containing the names and complex biographies of thousands of G/gods. There have been temples built for them and sacrifices made to them. Armies killed and died for them. People had comlpete faith that they were real, until of course they realized that they weren't.

Doesn't the very real God that is worshiped today deserve a title that sets Him apart from the rest?

Thanks
