inappropriate doesn't necessarily mean immodest. I've seen people drop their kids off at school still wearing their pyjamas. IMV that's inappropriate and wrong and lazy.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

But its a start to modesty, it eliminates nude beaches for me! lol. I also dont wear a bikini when I'm out because it just makes me feel immodest. Or when I got out to dinner, I try not to show much cleavage because I want to look nice when I go out with my husband but I dont want other men to see my boobs, they belong to my husband not the other guys.

I didn't connect the two - I just didn't see how a swimsuit came into it, because that would be worn under different circumstances, and not to go to work, or pick up kids.
Because we have a Six Flags and a Seaworld, when I have ventured into Wal Mart (which I don't very often), I have seen teenage girls wearing bikinis with a thigh length t-shirt over the top. But then you have boys wearing pants or shorts that must be incredibly uncomfortable, fastening as they do somewhere around the top of their thighs so that we can see their underwear and/or butt crack. Not much of a turn on for me, but maybe it would cause some women to stumble. So, yeah, put some clothes on in public, please.

That can also contribute to sexual arousal by highlighting those areas. Societies that don't bother with clothing aren't in a state of continual sexual ferment.

But those societies don't have western media which constantly sexualizes women, and actually - sexualises everything that possibly can be sexualized. It's a western obsession: who is doing what to who when, with what, and how. Yuck.
So, you cannot compare a person brought up in an isolated place (wherever these societies are that are isolated) with a person brought up in our society. It's chalk and cheese.
For instance, I betcha they haven't been going to the grocery store, standing at the checkout and seen 30 or so magazines, the vast majority of which show a woman, with cleavage, or otherwise undressed, giving some kind of "come hither" look, since the day they were born. Big difference.

I am very careful about my swimsuits. Actually, my swimsuit is loos fitting as far as swimsuits go, due to my own need for looseness. But any swimsuits would be highly immodest, not just inapropriate somewhere else. The reason is that the functional nature of a swimsuit is no longer functional somewhere else, and it's purpose at that point would be to look look and show off some skin, you know?swimming suits are tight, even the ones that cover from neck to foot

take breasts for example, and janet jacksons nipple. In countries where women routinely go around topless, the breast isn't seen as sexual. In countries where breasts are routinely covered, breasts become sexual, the flash of a nipple by a famous person makes national news and women who breastfeed in public have to put up with silly comments along the lines of ''why are they allowed to flash their boobs in public?''.

I dont 'flash my boobs' in public because I am aware of the culture I live in, it IS sexual in our culture so I will be modest accordingly. I do believe however that the breasts and genitals ARE meant to be private and for our intimate families. This is why I try to cover up even when I am nursing, BFing is private, not something I feel I need to let the world see.

I'm not the infamous woman who sat down in the middle of a store and whipped her boob out for all the world to see and then fed her baby, but I don't/won't go to the extremes that some do in order to cover up. It's obvious what I'm doing but you'd have to be invading my personal space to see any skin.
I feel that breastfeeding is something that needs to be seen more.

I wish it was more accepted, especially in public places. No one should be given heck for feeding their child (as has been the issue in the past), but I still find it a private 'act' between mother and child, so why does anyone need to see it? (unless of course it's to help a young mother or receive help if there are troubles). I dont want anyone to see me breastfeed but if they happen to notice, oh well it happens, I'm sure people know what I'm doing, but I still try to be modest about it if at all possible.
