Not unless they are made of dynamite.

'The minister said that wearing a miniskirt was akin to going naked'. That's just really quite ridiculous. And if somebody is going to be so distracted that they cause accidents, by a woman wearing a skirt showing her...yes. Legs. Then they probably shouldn't be driving in the first place. I like short skirts. I wear short skirts. Whatever.

No, miniskirts are awesome. I love them. I love watching women wearing them. I love wearing them myself. Miniskirts are sexy, powerful, fun pieces of clothing. Dangerous? Only to morons who would probably kill themselves in an industrial cottonball accident.

Only for us men. We should really be keeping our eyes on where we are going, not on the girl's asses. :)

Fact from fiction, truth from diction. That gal WAS NOT wearing a mini, not by any stretch of the imagination. The only time a mini is dangerous is if it is on a body it should not be on. Then there is the danger of one going blind. Below, that is a mini.

VERY dangerous .. I've been half frozen to death cause of my mini skirt .. been whistled and shouted at because of my mini skirt .. my mini skirt even contributed to me getting pregnant .. so YES they are dangeous .. and i LUV them and still wear them .. Luv From Jue x

1) A similar argument was already made in Europe some years ago: they say that some advertisements using sexy people could provoke accidents. 2) More annoying is the lack of respect of human rights in Uganda (although there have been much progress since Idi Amin's dictatorship): "Conflict in the northern parts of the country continues to generate reports of abuses by both the rebel Lord's Resistance Army and the Ugandan army. A UN official blamed the LRA in February 2009 of "appalling brutality" in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The number of internally displaced persons is estimated at 1.4 million. Torture continues to be a widespread practice amongst security organizations. Attacks on political freedom in the country, including the arrest and beating of opposition Members of Parliament, has led to international criticism, culminating in May 2005 in a decision by the British government to withhold part of its aid to the country. The arrest of the main opposition leader Kizza Besigye and the besiegement of the High Court during a hearing of Besigye's case by a heavily armed security forces — before the February 2006 elections — led to condemnation. Recently, grassroots organizations have been attempting to raise awareness about the children who were kidnapped by the Lord's Resistance Army to work as soldiers or be used as wives. Thousands of children as young as eight were captured and forced to kill. The documentary film Invisible Children illustrates the terrible lives of the children, known as night commuters, who still to this day leave their villages and walk many miles each night to avoid abduction. In October 2009, a bill was tabled in the Parliament of Uganda entitled "The Anti-Homosexuality Bill 2009" calling for harsher penalties for homosexuals, up to and including the death penalty. This law also requires that any citizen who suspects another person of being homosexual, is required to report the homosexual to police, or they too may receive a fine or time in prison. The proposed bill goes so far as to forbid landlords from renting to a known homosexual, and would ban any public discussion of homosexuality. The U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants reported several violations of refugee rights in 2007, including forcible deportations by the Ugandan government and violence directed against refugees."
