This one will truly be a challenge. I'm still trying to come up with an original angle to tackle it.

How about 'How to be a lap dancer and torch singer in Tehran'?

Are you trying to make everyone else last, Ogg?
 
Free Speech can hurt

The thread about the Pope has given me some ideas about an essay on Free Speech.

How can we have a reasoned argument without causing offence? If the topic is religious faith and belief it is very difficult.

I do not want to plaigarise other people's ideas for this contest. I'll just ask a question you can answer in an entry for the competition:

How can we discuss and debate without upsetting our opponent?

Reason can only cause offence to those of small mind and little wit. Alas, they are legion.

But truly - an opponent who is upset by a discussion and a debate is no opponent, rather they are a pustulent ulcer that should be denied several rights, voting and free speech among them.
 
Don't waste your Free Speech Essay...

...on a thread about Free Speech.

Write it, polish it and get ready to submit it for the next contest.

I'm thinking of working on one about two parrots. They get made into hats for saying nasty shit.

Think it'll fly?

(Apologies in advance)

This IS Literotica. Reviews and Essays can be erotic if you want them to be. Poring over Masters and Johnson was about all one could get in the 1950s unless you read Margaret Mead's anthropology or looked at bare-breasted maidens in the National Geographic.

An essay on which States would be likely to ban an anal story and why could be valid. A review of a banned book could also be valid. Including quotations to illustrate your points could be erotic.

Shouldn't it be *International* Nude Day- or is there really just one country that really has/celebrates/recognizes "Nude Day."

That date is celebrated in Europe as Bastille Day - the beginning of the French Revolution and has been since 1789.

Nude Day is US only. In Canada and New Orleans Bastille Day is probably more important.

In last year's Nude Day Contest I made two US Citizens appear nude in France on Bastille Day.

Bowing, as always Og, at the fount of all knowledge, didn't National Nude Day start in New Zealand down on South Island. I thought some ex-rugby international down in Dunedin or someplace started running it to get good publicity for his sports bar.

If you google - it is International Nude Day - just don't tell the French.
 
I think it is International Nude Day like baseball has a World Series.

It depends on what you define as 'International'. As for New Zealand - it is in mid-winter there for f**k's sake! Nude skiing, anyone?

Mock ye not!!

A couple of years back there was a National Nude Day (beach) rugby match on South Island between New Zealand and Ireland. The kiwis took to the sand naked but the Irish hadn't fully grasped the point and turned up in kit. The pictures are hilarious.

Who can help the Irish?
 
Any more volunteers to be berated in the interests of Free Speech?

How about a non-US viewpoint? Anyone aware of the limits of free speech in the People's Republic of China?

Or how some people exercised free speech under repressive regimes by using coded communication?
