Do you mind this on the beach ??

[Rickrock]

I think that they should be allowed to wear the burkini. It shows their face and is less cumbersome than their everyday clothing. I assume that they just wade and don't really swim in them. In any case they would be lighter to swim in than their regular clothing.

Lifeguard should not be expected to drag all that water soaked stuff to shore. It presents a real danger to the woman and any lifeguard. They should be forbidden from entering the water.

Of all the stupid things that you've written on JUB....this probably belongs in the top 5.

And that is an amazing accomplishment.

So you are saying a lifeguard shouldn't be doing what they are supposed to be doing because of what someone wears? Cause that is completely stupid.

I also find irony in the people bringing up misogyny as a problem with burkini's as if most people that ever bring this up actually gives a shit about the misogynistic aspect of it.

No. As I said, people should be forbidden from going into the water with all that stuff as it presents a danger to the person and the lifeguard.

I prefer women to cover up as much flesh as possible, so I'd have no problem if they all wore one.

My first and only impression...maybe she doesn't want to develop skin cancer or advance the aging of her skin but wants to enjoy the beach?

Just my impression...but even I it was not the case I wouldn't care really....I might wonder why though...

Human beings and many other animals will float as long as their lungs are filled with air. Swimmers do not need to hold onto buoys to keep from sinking.

It takes effort for humans to float. It doesn't happen naturally. Without effort, you sink to the level where the body and water densities equalise unless you're swimming in Great Salt Lake or the Dead Sea.

I was trying to explain to Mr. Telstra that fat people don't float because they're fat.

And so you just double down.

Indeed. What about fully-clothed people falling out of a boat or something? The biggest problem to rescuers is not the wet clothing. It is panic. If the person is unconscious, their job is infinitely easier. Panicking people are fighting them and that puts their lives in danger, not the wet clothes.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buoyancy
In science, buoyancy (pronunciation: /ˈbɔɪ.ənᵗsi/[1][2] or /ˈbuːjənᵗsi/;[1][2] also known as upthrust) is an upward force exerted by a fluid that opposes the weight of an immersed object. In a column of fluid, pressure increases with depth as a result of the weight of the overlying fluid. Thus the pressure at the bottom of a column of fluid is greater than at the top of the column. Similarly, the pressure at the bottom of an object submerged in a fluid is greater than at the top of the object. This pressure difference results in a net upwards force on the object. The magnitude of that force exerted is proportional to that pressure difference, and (as explained by Archimedes' principle) is equivalent to the weight of the fluid that would otherwise occupy the volume of the object, i.e. the displaced fluid.

Some useful info. about why things float and some don't.

umm fat float much better than bones.

Nevertheless wet clothing makes it more difficult.

 

[MakeDigitalLove]

You are honestly reaching with this kind of argument. A person clothing that people generally wear in the water isn't going to add much weight, especially considering lifeguards are trained regularly to handle different situations.

And none of this has to do with the burkinis anyway, this was just based on profiling. Has nothing to do with the welfare of the life guards.

This..

(...)

I don't care what people want to wear on the beach.

(...)

Just wear whatever makes you feel comfortable.

For fuck's sake.

Now let's relax and enjoy some time on the beach. The summer will not last forever.

 

[Vitamin]

Just so we're all clear here, France's top court has overturned the ban on burkinis.

Also, anyone who thought only Muslim women weren't allowed to show much on the beach was mistaken. As this photo taken on Cronulla beach of Muslim lifeguards show, men wear similar bathing suits as well.

[rareboy]

Of course, the Benvolios and the Grimshaws don't even realize the ridiculous trap they've walked into.

Does anyone remember these suits?

How about now?

Now.

Add sleeves.

Both of you are two of the nastiest trolls in JUB. If we say it's black, you say it's white just to cause confrontation.

LEARN SOMETHING!!!

 

[gsdx]

Does anyone remember these suits?

I do. They broke all sorts of World and Olympic records before they were banned.

 

[Kahaih]

Seems odd they’d worry about keeping themselves covered whilst viewing scantily clothed others at a beach.

It sort of feels like a ‘peeping Tom’ hiding in the bushes, or a fully clothed guy strolling around a nudist camp, too.

Seems like their ‘sin’ only goes one way. If it really meant anything, they’d stay clear of such places.



~~
BTW: That pale skinned chick’s eyes look very blue in that photo.

 

[Kahaih]

. . .

Now.

Add sleeves.

. . . and head cover,

. . . . and fear of being stoned to death or beheaded.
