Now, I'm a bachelor and most of the young little babes out there just love it when I squeeze out a possible notice or glance of distraction, now if the shirt is pink the little blooming flowers might think hey, maybe this guy is gay and its not, such a great day....so I refuse to wear that shirt and if I toss it out, it will go out in a colored non-clear bag so that there is no mistake. I think being aware of peoples day and realizing we all have an effect in the waltzing around is import.I'm concerned about these things.
LMFAO what did I just read

But if you did a poll of the whole US, I'd wager more people could identify the volleyball players first. I know that's true for me, and I'm not even a fan (actually hated the sport when I was forced to play in school). Regardless, I wouldn't mind seeing more shooting either - it is kinda cool, although gymnastics is the only summer sport I really care about watching.
Some of the Olympic shooters practice with AR-15's.

What’s So Bad About a Boy Who Wants to Wear a Dress?

At 4 years old, there's no way I'd allow my son to make those decisions on his own.



There's an image of a boy in a green dress that goes with the article linked. That kid is probably older than 7 years old, I can't believe the world of hurt his parents are setting him up for. Why don't adults just put their foot down and impart discipline and be a parent.
Well, where did Mr. Coulter's parents go wrong, they let their son errrrr, daughter go to school dressed in knickers, now he wears dresses to CNN and Fox news and just about everywhere.
My goodness, what's the world coming to?

We had this discussion at work. Here's our dress situation at work:

1) If we wanted to wear goth outfits and purple hair, we wouldn't have been hired here, and we'd be kicked out on our _ss_s.

2) If we wanted to wear a piercing through our cheek, or insert little horns under the skin of our foreheads, we wouldn't have been hired here, and we'd be kicked out on our _ss_s.

3) If we wanted to wear see-through outfits, we wouldn't have been hired here, and we'd be kicked out on our _ss_s.

4) If we wanted to wear metal breastplates and horned Viking helmets, we wouldn't have been hired here, and we'd be kicked out on our _ss_s.

5) If we wanted to tattoo our faces, we wouldn't have been hired here, and we'd be kicked out on our _ss_s.

6) If we wanted to wear shorts and flip-flops, we wouldn't have been hired here, and we'd be kicked out on our _ss_s.

7) If we women wanted to wear a man's suit, and a man's shoes, we wouldn't have been hired here, and we'd be kicked out on our _ss_s.

8) If the men here wanted to wear a dress with delicate strapped slippers, they wouldn't have been hired here, and they'd be kicked out on their _ss_s.

9) If we women wanted to wear micro-mini skirts that nearly showed our _ss, we wouldn't have been hired here, and we'd be kicked out on our _ss_s.

10) If we wanted to wear hugely long dredlocks dangling down our backs, we wouldn't have been hired here, and we'd be kicked out on our _ss_s.

11) If the men wanted to wear baggy pants, showing their dirty underwear to the public, they wouldn't have been hired here, and they'd be kicked out on their _ss_s.

We live in society, we live in public, we have certain standards of dress, we present ourselves to the public, and should try to be as presentable as possible. Schools are for learning how to dress. You can't show up dirty, you can't wear any clothes you d_mn_d well feel like, and you have to abide by rules. Is it necessary for someone to be wearing male clothes one day and women's the next? REALLY? I think not. I think people should decide what they are, or decide what their kids are, and stick with that decision, period, otherwise it's just Halloween costuming every day of the year.

I would have to say that the day after, or soon after 9/11/01, many parents dressed their children in USA shirts, and was probably allowed by many schools.
