    I admit, I watch it. Its the only thing on between when I wake up, and when I need to get to work.

    To me, its the joy of watching 4 people whos opinion dont matter, despretly try to make you think they do. At the end you can laugh at how they are meaningless.

    I actualy saw this segment. I perked up when they used Kilts to defend how men can wear skirts. Cant blame them, when you think of Non-pants for men, you think kilts. Though historicaly I am sure you could find oodles of older garments. Rome comes to mind, Togas and what not ( though they also went nude alot)


    What annoyed me about this article was how.. it was just wrong in my opinion. The "They wear pants now, they only wear kilts on special occasions, but its mainly pants all the time" comment seemed so wrong.

    If I had enough Kilts, so that I could varry it up day to day ( and didnt work in a dump that would destory them) I would ditch my pants all together.

    I get so tired of this perspective, and not just about kilts. It's that old, tired, "that's not how we (society) do it. You need to do it our way instead."


    It's sit down, shut up, fall in line, do what you're told, think what what you're told, do not deviate from the norm.

    I absolutely HATE this attitude. It's why I became a punk rocker in the first place. I just wanted to tell society and its standards (set by the tyrranical majority) to eff off.

    End
