And I still reject it on the basis that it fails to acknowledge the difference bewteen rules and principles.

And you have every right to do so, even if I don't even mention any rules nor any principles.

Then you'd win.

Sigh, humility is often seen as a weakness in this egotistical climate of meism that you detailed and yet for the Christian as well as others, its a quality of strength. The willingness to yield to personal preference in modesty and soundness of mind takes thought and self control.

I don't see humility as an act of weakness, far from it. This though isn't about humility, it's about 'conformity'.

I never pictured things that way. It's more like we're at a pub and some crazy guy with a Scottish accent has had one too many and can't shut up. Entertaining, to be sure; but not to be taken seriously [naturally].

Biblically speaking, is it wrong for women to be topless in public places where men can be topless? Is there biblical support for either allowing or condemning public toplessness of women?

Men should be forbidden to go topless, as well as certain women, especially if they look like men. 😛

Nope. I see conformity.

'1. action in accord with prevailing social standards, attitudes, practices, etc.'

No, the prevailing social standards might be tattoos and Mohawks as it is, this is not modestly but self aggrandizement.

Well, we shall have to agree to disagree again.

Is a modest person one who is self effacing or who draws attention to oneself.

I think either way people would last after the opposite sex by seeing them topless.

Who's drawing attention to themselves?

Gee dude, I know its hard being a straight guy in a gay world, lord knows its hard, the stigma, the rejection etc etc but do you not think that topless chicks in lets say the middle of Manchester may be drawing a little attention to themselves?

Of course, but I'm not talking about women being topless. I'm discussing 1 Tim 2:9.
