I do it all the time. However today, I ran past a police box and there was a copper standing outside. As I ran past he shouted over to me to put my tshirt on. I gave him a thumbs up sign and just kept going.<br /><br />I'm not convinced it's actually illegal. Something happens to people when they put a uniform on...somehow they think it gives them a right to tell other people what to do.Andy Cowanhttp://www.karaterice.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2620514807510403597.post-48031031495522652912010-09-21T22:35:08.430+09:002010-09-21T22:35:08.430+09:00The Japanese police force is not to be trifled wit...The Japanese police force is not to be trifled with - especially as a foreigner. Even if they didn't want to throw me in jail for 21 days (without a reason and without having to contact anyone to tell them where I am; and without having to provide me with food - somehow I'd be expected to provide that myself) they could tear me limb from limb the same way a child tears the wings off a fly - without a care in the world.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12732766041625631376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2620514807510403597.post-1381477647952520192010-09-21T12:11:38.840+09:002010-09-21T12:11:38.840+09:00You should run without your shirt some day just fo...You should run without your shirt some day just for the heck of it, and just keep running when the policemen come after you.

And it's kind of strange that they would find pregnant women offensive...

I'm a friend of Aimme, and we've met before.<br />Japanese men seem to be think porn is a kind of Japanese culture so they don't hesitete to see it in public places. But interest thing was they were strongly against the posters of pregnat females in a train. Some of them told those were disgusting. And lots of Japanese men and a part of women are against the regulation for child porn because it can harm the Japanese culture like comics and animetions. So we haven't had these kind of laws yet.Himawarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00892372734562835235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2620514807510403597.post-81286420408812523772010-07-25T11:22:20.228+09:002010-07-25T11:22:20.228+09:00Yeah it is a little weird how messed up the priori...Yeah it is a little weird how messed up the priorities seem to be.

I have seen oral sex in public parks, old men urinating on the train tracks from the train station, and an exhibitionist standing on the busiest street on Sunday morning masturbating in front of traffic! Weird country, weird rules if a fat teenager shows her ass on the train it's ok but take of your shirt people go nuts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2620514807510403597.post-82030111325400285382010-07-13T22:09:17.738+09:002010-07-13T22:09:17.738+09:00I've not seen that sketch before.

It's all a little silly...<br /><br />It's legal in Ontario for women to go topless in outdoor public places but I'm not sure about BC. I'm not sure you'd want to run topless anyway Rose - I'm told that breasts are already a pain in the ass to run with even when they're strapped down with a sports bra.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12732766041625631376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2620514807510403597.post-27895792821833900402010-07-01T23:28:08.163+09:002010-07-01T23:28:08.163+09:00Wow, that is insane.
