JackNeilsonJun 24, 2010Well I don't find nudity boring but rather self-affirming and freeing in this textile dominated world. As for honesty it is one of the most important aspects of our character. Honesty, even when dangerous, affirms our sense of self respect and engenders it in others.

Hmmm. Boring is not a word I would associate with either nudity or honesty. Nudity to me is relaxing, invigorating, comfortable, cooling, freeing...
Honesty is refreshing, exciting, sometimes controversial, appreciated, lol - and some times not appreciated!

Gerry-4Jun 25, 2010There is a saying: If you are bored, you are probably boring. So, if you're bored, don't tell anyone.

njmikeJun 25, 2010I think Jen and Rabbit said it best. Sounds to me like Chuckles needs to get a life, and maybe a clue or two.

Cheri Donna DawsonJun 25, 2010Nudity is far from boring. It definitely is an uplifting, relaxing feeling, knowing I'm good as are others in their own skins.
Honesty - definitely refreshing and affirming goodness of human nature.

Perhaps Chuck should get a life, but this isn't the place to diagnose whether anybody needs professional help.ReactReply - LI
LifeHappensJun 25, 2010[quote]The most boring thing in the entire world is nudity. The second most boring thing is honesty.Chuck Palahniuk,Invisible Monsters, 1999[/quote] You are right; but the truth of the matter is that this is not about being nude. This is about being able to live nude -- to perform your daily routine without clothing. And, as previously stated: When someone says, "I am bored," it usually means, "I am boring." I want to be bored...ReactReply - MA
macnudeJun 25, 2010I find neither nudism or honesty boring.
I view nudism, particularly social nudism, a special occasion, which I have too little opportunity to enjoy. Therefore, I am never bored. Whether involved in a volley ball game, splashing in the pool or simply reading a book in the shade surrounded by like minded people, I find it to be pleasurable and uplifting.
Certainly not boring.
Nor do I find honesty boring. We can be consistently honest in our business or professional relationships, however, honesty in our social relationships is dynamic. We can in all honesty tell someone “Your hair looks great, today.” We can see pleasure in their eyes as they react to the honest compliment.
On another occasion, we could with the same degree of honesty declare, “Your hair looks as if a pack of rats is living there.” Unless we happen to be, hateful, spiteful individuals, our honest opinions are sometimes best kept to ourselves.ReactReply - MEMemberJun 25, 2010
Okay, Peter...so tell us, is the book a good read? Should I rush out to my local library?

Jen[/quote] As you may know, He wrote "Fight Club" and "Choke" that were made into movies. I would suggest you read the "Survivor". First. It is brilliant. It's a great read, superlative plot structure and has original writing style. I liked it....LOL. Survivor (1999) [Novel] by Chuck Palahniuk Summary : Tender Branson — last surviving member of the so-called "Creedish Death Cult" — is dictating his incredible life story into the flight recorder of Flight 2039, cruising on autopilot at 39,000 feet somewhere over the Pacific Ocean. He is all alone in the plane, which will shortly reach terminal velocity and crash into the vast Australian outback. Before it does, he will unfold the tale of his journey from an obedient Creedish child and humble domestic servant to an ultra-buffed, steroid- and collagen-packed media messiah, author of a best-selling autobiography, Saved from Salvation, and the even better selling Book of Very Common Prayer (The Prayer to Delay Orgasm, The Prayer to Prevent Hair Loss, The Prayer to Silence Car Alarms). He'll even share his insight that "the only difference between suicide and martyrdom is press coverage," and deny responsibility for the Tender Branson Sensitive Materials Landfill — a 20,000-acre repository for the nation's outdated pornography. Among other matters both bizarre and trenchant.
