Almost A Kilt

[Archangel]

something about this thread has been bothering me,philosophically and practically, for a few days so I thought I'd mention it. Some of us are sounding quite judgemental and I have to ask: are we asking people to have (a) an open-minded attitude to (b) our choice (i.e. kilts), or are we asking people to (c) accept only kilts?
If the answer is (a), then I'm with you. However, it follows that we should demonstrate that open-minded attitude to their choice, therefore not (b).
If the answer is (c), I have to strongly disagree. Is the kilt the only alternative to nudity or a pin-stripe suit or whatever the basic choice would be? Should we become fashion nazis and impose our clothing standards on others. I see a parallel to those who would spiritualize personal choices and call on the heavens to condemn those who disagree.
Wearing a kilt is not a black or white decision, it is part of a clothing continuum that we should all be able to participate in. Otherwise, we are simply turning those prejudices, continuing them, and applying them to others instead of making the choice to stop the pattern. In a very real sense, in this situation, when we point a finger, we have three pointing back at us.

Keeping things in perspective: remember, at the end of the day, if God had wanted us to be naked, He would have made us that way.

Well, the next time you see any of these guys laughing at you while wearing theses 3/4 pants just ask them why they are wearing women's "capri" pants. Just wait for their reaction.

It is always interesting to me how so many people are ignorant of the history or evolution of what they are wearing.
