It's crazy that chcks can't sunbathe topless in the US.

It should be a basic freedom for every woman to get her schwapps out....

I am so very solidly behind that, my friend. I support a woman's right to bare her breasts whenever and wherever she may choose, just as God intended!
 
IT is uncontitutional to make or enforce such a law... that does not mean thay dont do it. Many Many Many laws are not challanged as it costs real money to do so, and the penalties are minor.

This is plain wrong. Britain is going through 'ban-it' mania at the minute, if it moves, they will ban it. Smoking, fat blokes, patio heaters, nothing is safe from the middle-managers we have in power in local and national government.

One day, you guys will realize the usefullness of constitutions as a tool to limit government. This will be whenever you realize that you can't step an inch without incurring several thousand dollars in fines. Until that time, you'll still be blathering on about this nonsense about your "unwritten constitution" (AKA you don't have one and the government can do basically anything it wants).
 
If we'd had a written constitution someone would have banned it already.

Anyway, constitutions are far too overrated. If a government wants to override it they will.

You guys have a written constitution and smoking is banned in many places in the US...

What we need is a cull of the 'middle-managers' we have in power...

Did you know that, out of all the governments in Europe, Britian has the most appeals to the EU human rights court? It is also the only nation in Europe without a constitution. Hmmm...

I mean, what we're saying is, the worst case scenario is that the constitution can do absolutely nothing. That really isn't an argument against it. Your rights certainly become more powerful if they're enshrined in the document.

I mean, what can you do now? Appeal to the courts? The legislature can just strike down the courts. The courts, however, can sit and yell "NYAH NYAH NYAH NYAH, I CAN'T HEAR YOU!" and pretend that they still matter. In that manner, I guess, your government is balanced.

Which court are you referring to - the European Court of Justice or the European Court of Human Rights?

Any UK law which breaches the European Convention on Human Rights can be struck down by our national courts since the Human Rights Act 1997. In fact in the EU each nation's Constitution is overridden by the Treaty of Rome.
