    Instead of talking about it we could post pics. I'll go stand on the corner now.

    I think Bubba summed it up nicely.

    Bubba, at least I was honest enough to admit that I was ranting.

    Yeah Mike, that you were, but instead of wearing the Moderator hat you should have worn the Napoleon hat. I know some topics come up repeatedly that drive me nuts too, but I just consider others have joined since the last time, scan past it and move on. Let's face it, The Question does come up for many of us at one time or another so we all might as well contribute effective and polite ways to answer it for the newer kilt wearers.

    At one time or another? How about damn near every time you go out in public!

    Must be where you hang out. I've been asked 5 times in over 2 years.

    Methinks that some of it is self-inflicted. I've been asked 3 or 4 times in the last couple of years and every instance was somebody I knew well that was poking fun.

    Maybe it's a geographical thing? We Hoosiers just aren't the the type to walk around taking man-on-the-street underwear polls.

    The rest of the story was that the pregnant woman on the floor didn't say a word but with much effort and work GOT UP off the floor while the young woman just stood there and watched so it would no longer be a problem for the young woman wearing the short skirt.

    This just seems very wrong to me now that I'm wearing kilts. If I decide to wear a kilt, regardless of what I wear under it, I cannot see forcing other people to change their lives or sit/stand in a differrent place because of the clothing I choose to wear.

    first, it really shows the declining importance of helping other people when a woman will not help a pregnant woman stand up.

    Second, It really gets under my skin when people wear clothes and try to force other people to move about or interact with them differently because they don't want attention, or are very shy.


    If you aren't comfortable with a piece of clothing DON"T WEAR IT...(edited this - it made no sense the first time around) If someone wears a particular piece of clothing and expects theose around then to at or behave diffently, especially pregnant women or those with infirmaties, they need to be taken out behind the shed for some old-school "behavior correction". Such expectations show incredibly poor manners and a general lack of gentlemanly conduct.


    enough ranting...I could go on for hours about this...

    HEY!! Give me back my Napolean hat.

    Actually, gentlemen, a little birdie pointed something out to me, a bit earlier. Take a look at the LAST RULE on the list.

    I may have been somewhat justified in my rant...

    (Paulhenry, it's OK, really it is, I'm just joking with Bubba on this one.)
