What they really say about us

[Cowher]

So I was board so I posted on a forum about reptiles and asked about kilts. I figure it's a very neutral group of people and we can hear what people really think (not that it matters). So here are the results.

Post 1
"It depends...some people wear kilts because it's part of their heritage and they wanna pay homage--which I can get behind.

Other people wear kilts to make some sort of fashion statement like, "Ooooh, look at me! I'm wearing a kilt, and YOU probably thought it was a Catholic school girl skirt, didn't ya!?! NOPE!!! It's a kilt! Aren't I edgy?!?! Don't you wish you were as much of an "individual" as I am?"

Not that I really give a frog's fat fanny what ANYBODY wears, I just think some people try too hard with their fashion with things like kilts. Unless, like I said, we're talking about people who wear kilts for special occasions to honor their heritage in some way.

There's my 2 cents."

"I don't know why they wear them. But if your running from the cops they would be more advantageous than the low rider jeans some wear"

"When I was in high school my moms boyfriend bought one! lol, I thought it was pretty cool. He got it as part of his heritage, it was their clan colors. I don't think anything bad about it. My brother and I grew up with him and he's a great guy.

Some hispanics wear clothing that is more in tune with their roots, no one seems to care."

"As far as people wearing a kilt,if its for there heritage thats up to them i have no problem with it lol.But as far as me wearing one not for me sorry.But i mean i would bash someone if they did i'd mind my own business as long as they dont bother me there ok cause then things will change.

"For those who wear them to honor their heritage... I have little to no opinion, other than it's nice that some people like to remember their roots...


For the others who wear them... it's nothing more than a thick skirt. And if you want to try out cross dressing, I think you shuold wear your skirt proudly but I also think you should admit you are wearing a skirt and are cross dressing..."

"I can care less what people wear, the color of their skin, their sexual orientation, etc...

Its all about how you treat others that counts and being true to your word.

"I do not think wearing, or not wearing, a kilt is enough information to like or dislike a person... it is a piece of information that the person is expressing to help us see who they are, or who they want to be...

"Ten people in a life boat ....

One has to go ....

Nine are dressed in jeans and Tee Shirts ...

One in a kilt and knee socks ...................................


If you want to be different ... If you want to be special .... fine ...

But don`t expect the rest of us to go along with the [bone in your nose ]...



There you have it. Post 8 got a little fire in my stomach.

Those responses were quite interesting, I was out last weekend in jeans for a change and had a few people say they didn't recognise me or were disappointed that I wasn't in my usual kilt

Well, it'll be lonely, all by myself in that lifeboat, but there'll be more for me of whatever supplies are stocked. I hope those nine folks are good swimmers.

Hope the jeans don't restrict their movement too much, lest they not make it to shore...

That seems pretty par for the course. I get the "cross dressing" quip quite a bit. My how I laugh! Everyone's a comedian in trousers.

Your 'Post 1' bloke seems a little contradictory. "Ooooh, look at me! I'm wearing a kilt... Aren't I edgy?!?! Don't you wish you were as much of an "individual" as I am?" followed by, "Not that I really [care] what ANYBODY wears."

Yes, of course, whatever you say... No insecurities showing there then. A nice "you're safe in numbers" mindset. Fish do the same thing.

Why the **** do I care what other people think? I hate other people.

I just thought it was interesting. Good conversation ya know?

I do find it interesting that SOME would insinuate that those who dress differently than they do should be discarded like trash.
You gunna toss me off a life boat?!? Really?!? Well I would love to see ya try it. Pr!ck
I understand when someone has awkward questions about my kilt or even if tgey snicker as I walk by. But to think that some one would attack me for wearing a kilt?!? well dang. I'd love to see his girls face when her boyfriend is laying on the pavement with a sgian dubh shoved up his… and she looks to me thinking "dang that kilt is sexy!"

You could alway hope they stew nicely. 9 people could feed one becalmed sailor for quite a long time.

Just saying.

Well, nobody has to like everybody. Either live with it or eat 'em...


Do kilts make us cannibals??

[clanciankent]

Why care what their opinion is-live your life the way you want and let the herd animals choose to be conformist slaves,we (or I) will never be one of those sad cases who is too scared to be different.
