I wonder if this will apply to kilts?

It was my understanding that it was also going to be a federal crime here in the states but I don't remember when or where I read that. It was a number of months ago.....

When I mentioned it in another post someone said it is up to the individual states to pass such laws so perhaps I was just confused.

Gtrman....Which county do you live in. In County Carroll, the troops will take away the first person to strike. Man or Woman. Our cops are equal opportunity arrestors. Either that, or it's an excuse to go to the 7-11 right around the corner from central booking.

Arundel...

I was living with a woman once and she took to slapping me around once and DARING me to reciprocate... When the cops showed up, she admitted to assaulting me and that I had not struck her.. The cops STILL treated me like a criminal and made me leave the premises.

Oh, and in my neighborhood, there is a 7 Eleven right arond the corner from the cop shop.

10 to 1 they had fingers still wet and warm from the coffee and cookie crumbs on the button row! Were any of them in a kilt?

LOL.. No.. This happened about 10 years ago. Still makes me angry, though.

a friend of mine on our ireland trip wore his kilt around...got kilt checked a few times...

one girl asked him very politely if she could ascertain for herself whether or not he was a "true scot" as she said...and afterwards she hugged him...

it was a very interesting evening...

Now, if a girl asked politely, I'd be likely to oblige, depending on the circumstances--for instance, I wouldn't want to offend any by-standers. If you think about it, the manner in which one "exposes" oneself can be quite innocent; afterall, we are not (or shouldn't be) a great lot of tittering imbeciles. The circumstances, and one's disposition, determine the maturity of such an action, which can be idle curiosity, or goodnatured humor rather than crass lewdness. Wouldn't you agree?

It simply amazes me that women, who have demanded equal rights with men and to shed the moniker of "the weaker sex" insist on holding to natural concepts of decency for themselves thus maintaining a "seperate place" in society from the men they wish to be equal with. I am by no means a shovinist, but it seems to me that the feminist movement has a few biases it needs to shed if it is truly to attain its goal (which I think is nebulous at best to most of its adherents).

it is a common problem of any group that seeks "equality" to another group. They want all the rights and priviledges they supposedly don't have, but they are very quick to remind that they are "oppressed" or something like that, and demand special treatment. Very common problem.

Bloody hell, I wish someone thought of me as the 'weaker sex' and thought I should be taken care of. Given the circumstances, I'd jump at the chance to be locked up in a kitchen somewhere with a houseful of kids instead of working 80+ hours a week trying to make ends meet with a healthy risk of getting shot!
