Well, you can. Of course, you'll probably be arrested, since there are numerous anti-nudity laws. Most of them the direct result of fundies traditionally running the country, since you folks are petrified of skin.
"and if im an animal why cant i walk without clothes in public"
Because nobody wants to see your stuff.
I think it's because we walk upright on two legs. When animals walk on four legs, there's really not much concern for seeing anything. But going up onto two legs exposed us a lot.
Also, we're intelligent and designed clothes to replace the fur we lost [We didn't need it anymore since we had clothes]
We can't walk around without clothes in public because our societies made it illegal, because they deemed exposed genitalia to be offensive (and embarrassing). If you want to define our humanity by the fact that we are wearing clothes (which is actually just a way to compensate for lack of body hair), then feel free. Just realize that it is a very weak argument.

Dude, punctuation. Learn to use it. Please .
By the way, some people do walk around either completely or partially nude. Depending on where you happen to see them they're either nudists/naturists or indigenous people. Not that I'm surprised you're unaware of both of those groups, given your apparently less than stellar education.
In Boston, you might catch a cold during most of the year. It's also cultural. Some places are much freer about it than others. Greece and Brazil more than the United States more than Muslim nations, who are offendes by women showing legs, arms, and midriffs on American streets.
Was this idiot sleeping during Science & English classes? There is such a thing as punctuation and sentence structure, Also, that is the weakest argument for creation I've ever seen, I have a Guinea pig who quite likes wearing his little winter sweater does that mean he was created too?
Awww, look.
He's trying to think.
For the same reason spandex is a privilege, not a right.
Speaking seriously, if we ignore the hang-ups people have about the human body, there's no reason you can't, but it could get rather uncomfortable in certain seasons, plus, IIRC, there are hygiene issues.
I remember viewing a rally at the Gap to protest their use of Chinese labour. They stripped in front of the store. This lead to the crowd chanting "Put it on!".
Clothes are a social issue. There are groups of people who wear nothing, or almost nothing, but the good Christian missionaries make sure to put the feeling of shame into them.
wait, were we animals or humans or clothes?
ENGLISH. LEARN IT.
Because from the dawn of time, fundies have been terrified by the human body and made it something to be covered rather than enjoyed.
Besides, it can get freaking cold outside in some climates.
There are, however, many places where society was influenced by religion, and it is acceptable to go out in public without clothes. I have been to one of those places in Jamaica, and one in St. Martin.
Because nobody wants to see your pasty, flabby ass.
Disgust covers all sentient sensibilities! (Don't believe me? You've never owned a cat. :P)
There were lots of indogenous tribes in the carribean and south america who didn´t use clothes. This only ended when the missionaries came and forced these tribes to either convert to christianity or to die (well, often they died nevertheless because they weren´t as useful as slaves for forced labor, as their european masters wished they were)
We caucasian Nortern Europeans got good at clothes a long time ago. Desert dwellers did too. Not to mention Inuit (Eskimo) who really HAD to have it
in countries were it's warm nudity or near nudity is really common
Also we've been wearing clothes longer than Christians think the worlds existed.
"...why cant i walk without clothes in public"
Well, you can, but people might point and laugh.
It seems you want to be able to walk naked in public, am I getting this right?
Me too, my brother, me too.
Wow, so you mean to tell me that whenever my brother's wife puts a little shirt on her mini-pinch, it's suddenly a human?
I mean, if humans aren't animals because we wear clothes, then what does that make little dogs with shirts on? Or chimps that wear diapers?
If people are decended from Adam and Eve, why can't you walk naked in the park? God never had a problem with it, even if his fan club does.
Because sadly for you, operating a zipperfly and buttons seems to be an unscalable intellectual peak. I doubt you possess the keen synaptic skills necessary to remove flipflops from your feet.
Also, are we sure you're not an animal? A well trained parrot or something? Because I have trouble accepting that anything as highly evolved as a human could have such a nebulous grasp on interpersonal communication as you exhibit. Perhaps some heretofore unknown species of typing marmoset, or a Norwegian grey-backed trolling-beetle or something?
In public bath-houses people walk around without their clothes, in the changing rooms and the showers. In nudist camps people walk around naked all the time.
That argument is just as inane as his/her grammar.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
