1)Nudity:
I'm a nudist & would appreciate the ability to be nude a lot more often.
2)Same Sex Marriages:
I think that any two people in love should have the right to marry if they want to.
3)Statutory Rape Laws/Age Consent Laws:
I think the laws as written serve a valid purpose of protecting the youth & we'd have to work to get the repeals overturned.

I wouldn't be concerned about nudity in public at all.
Same-sex marriages SHOULD be legalized.
Statutory rape laws need to be made FEDERAL laws(and not under the control of the state as they now are) and applied evenly across the board, some states allow children as young as 13-14 to legally marry with consent of the parent or guardian. While you cannot read a persons mind and be able to judge whether or not they are capable of understanding all the implications of sex, there has to be some form of protection for those who do not or cannot understand. Until mind reading is possible, an age limit will have to suffice.
Legal consent and Nudity have nothing to do with the same-sex marriage issue.

Nudity: There are many many many people I don't want to see any more of. I'd be okay if there was some limit to it.
Marriage: Rejoice, there shouldn't be anything wrong with it in the first place.
Statutory rape: The consent age should go down to 16, but no less than that. Older men shouldn't be allowed to have sex with a 14 or 13 year old, they're just hitting puberty.

Servant of Jesus Christ,
"What would you think, about and do if the government legalized Nudity in Public(?)"
I think that most people wouldn't do it. Rape would be more common.
"What would you think, about and do if the government legalized Same Sex Marriages(?)"
I would say, "And thus; it begins." -- King of Rohan before the Battle at Helm's Deep as the first orc fell. (Bernard Hill)
It would be the beginning of the end for many people that think themselves 'righteous'.
What would you think, about and do if the government repealed statutory rape laws?
There would have to be so many laws changed to cover that one! Especially in the good ol' USA! Another b*tch issue here! And that's no understatement!
I know that many would breathe a heavy sigh of relief! On all levels of government, and on all levels of society. While others would act like they hate the day they were born.
"What would you think and do if the government repealed all age consent laws?"
It doesn't seem feasible. And I think that i would be against it too. A four year old can consent? No, that's not what parents are supposed to be teaching their children. And the effect of sex on children is really really bad.
Not a good one

I think that although some people should not be naked because they dont take care of themselves, that nudity is not a bad thing and that most of the mentel problems causing people to have sexual fetishes, and rape people, are caused by the inability of people to feel comfortable with nudity, and telling there children about how evil nudity and sexuallity are. as far as same sex marrages. If you have a problem with that you should be living in the 1800's or be amish. It is right up there with the black and white issues of the 50's. People have the right to do as they please so long as it is not hurting anyone else. which same sex marrage does not. the only reason that there is even a controversy is because too many polaticians are religeous, and even though there is a legal seperation of government and religeon, they push there religeous beleifs on the masses. and the age consent thing. well I dont have too much to say. I dont think that older people should be sleeping with 15 year olds, but i also dont think that if they do they should be going to prison, or be classified in the same catagory as someone who rapes people. so you deciede that.

I think it is ridiculous that you put "same sex marriage" in the same categories as the other two. I strongly believe same sex marriage should be legal, but I would be appalled if they repealed statutory/age consent laws, and I don't care one way or the other about public nudity.

What I personally feel about this is that it is degrading my our country. If they will let same sex people marry and people walk around nude then I feel it is apparent that we as a country have a problem.
With the nude issue I feel all they want is attention. So that is why they are going to do what they do. I feel they are trying to make a statement that in fact doesn't need to be made.
I am fine living next to a gay or lesbian couple and I don't care what they do that is their business. But I think that when they want to marry just so they can, that is wrong. There is no need. Something My father says is, "God did destroy two cities, cause men where sleeping with men and women were sleeping with women." So it is evident that it shouldn't happen. So why do we embrase it as a people.
And they should not change the laws of statutory rape. That keeps young teenagers, like myself, from doing things that we shouldn't. I feel that if they were taken away we would have mnay more teenage pregnancies. Which may result in homelessness, broken homes, drugs, and many more negative consequences.
Over all I think how things are now is how they should stay, in context to the laws. I feel we need to focus more on the issues on hand, not same sex marriges and nudity. We are fighting in wars over seas that many people feel we shouldn't. So maybe we need to fix that. Thanks for the good question.

Of course the governments of the world should equalize marriage laws, it is the only just and fair thing to do.
This has nothing to do with the other laws you mention regarding nudity, rape and age of consent. All these other laws have a victim being exposed to criminal activity, and should stay as they are.
A true "servant of Christ" would promote justice, tolerance and equality, and work against bigotry and discrimination. I hope this includes you.

It would be fine except for taking away the statutory rape laws.

Would rather leave the if's to Rudyard Kipling
Why worry about what if when there is already enough things to go round as it is.
Though I would spend more time in the front yard in a lawn chair.
