Well, in that case, lets start stoning the adulterers outside the city gates. And to think on an unpure act is as to commit it, so lets start lining up the sinners.
I didn't see a single man who left his hat on. How did he see "many"?
Also this moron apparently doesnt realize that most of these people were likely tousists and did not have other clothes to wear.
Oh please. Quit acting like such a slob. The point is this is not standing in line for concert tickets. It is standing in line to pay respects to one of our greatest presidents.
If you feel that it is appropriate to dress like a bean picker to pay respects to Ronald Reagan, go right ahead. But please don't spread the idea that it's okay to be a schlub.
Now you will condemn me for being elitist.
You are being judgemental.
I am impressed. You are coming off as a complete and total idiot.
Wouldn't it be great if everyone dressed up like in the old days. Of course, you can't find any decent clothes anymore unless you make your own or can afford the more expensive stuff. (which is why I'm learning to make my own clothes after I get my sewing machine fixed. I love the old vintage styles)
Yes, indeed. Some people stood in line for 12 hours at a time.
And you are playing the elitist.
Thanks. I aim for perfection.
By your own definition, you are guilty of the same thing of which you accuse others. Thank you, you have well proved my point.
It appears anyone who doesn't agree with you and who would uphold traditional standards of decency and respect is judgmental. Sorry but your tactics won't work with me.
Have a nice evening!
Actually, anyone who doesn't be your clone is wrong. I could care less what you are anyone do, except being so foolish over a petty issue on such a momentous occasion. I have never said that I wouldn't uphold a certain decency and respect, and it is wonderful that you will also. But, you would be there looking down your nose, and talking rudely behind peoples backs about how inappropriate they are. You would be an embarassment.
You are an unbelievably petty fool. In fact, I can't imagine having met worse.
You are the one who wants to bring up OT law to defend your pov. Just pointing out that OT law demanded such actions.
Time to judge the petty.
Athletic wear is taking it too far...
Did it occur to you that lots of people may have biked or hiked to the Reagan library? Quite a hill. Athletic wear would be the only choice.
Give them credit for going.
A dress code inherited from a much colder climate. It took time for our culture to adapt.
BTW, not everythning our forefathers did, was right. Conservative means holding to the GOOD of the past, not simply holding on to the past per se. Otherwise we'd all be Amish.
oops, meant to ping you to post 314
I can't remember the last pair of jeans that I bought that cost less than $100.
And it shall come to pass, that when they enter in at the gates of the inner court, they shall be clothed with linen garments; and no wool shall come upon them, whiles they minister in the gates of the inner court, and within. They shall have linen bonnets upon their heads, and shall have linen breeches upon their loins; they shall not gird themselves with any thing that causeth sweat.
Well, that rules out coat and tie.
At Costco they can be had for $13-$15. Levi's 501s are around $40.
Alert, Alert. People in line for the procession in DC are not dressed properly. Who cares it is 90 degrees, and they have been in line for hours. They should all be in black wool suits and dresses. / sarcasm.
