| Religion can be a very touchy subject as well as politics. Please, no forcing of ones beliefs on others. Discussion of beleifs is encouraged, but I do not want anY one directly telling another that they will be ( insert word for not believing what they believe. Please limit debating to the threads specifically designated for debate. Please remember to treat others as you would want to be treated. I will make this a private forum like the Pub and the Politcs forum if necessary. |

| Hey I think we are all adults to express our opinion's whether anyone agree's with you or not...but we can discuss anything as long as everyone acts like adults instead of older children...that's what America is about..giving the person in front of you the finger and smiling at the same time. Now let's go to scottland and break out the swords! Annabelle |

| Those that don't respect others' right to their own opinion need to be warned to cool it . But the sword play does sound like fun. |

| We all have rights but it is NOT RIGHT to step on each other in the Name of Having Rights! Follow? Well this is getting too heavy for me! I like getting out the swords and off with their head myself... In all things Scottish, Annabelle |

Errrrm, I'm getting a little sick of the 'Scots kilted men/swords' type posts - just as offensive to me as religious posts are to many of the posters here  1 We don't wear woad (well, only to go to rugby matches) 2 The kilts are worn on special occasions - and only by men (unless you are a female highland dancer) 3 We do not consider ourselves the master race 4 Our citizens call ourselves Scots or Scottish - not Scotts - that is one family from the Borders, not the whole nation. My, my.... I really DO feel better now! RavenWing Sorry for hijacking your thread! |

| Catriona, Not a problem. Glad it made you feel better!  |

I wear a kilt for two reasons: 1. I reenact a private soldier of the 42nd RHR during the early part of the American Revolution. The kilt was demonstrably a part of their uniform. See the photo of me in my profile. 2. At other times, I just enjoy the feel of wearing a modern kilt. I am primarily Irish and English in extraction, with no discernable Scottish ancestry. I just enjoy the option of wearing a piece of apparel that is comfortable and, let's face it, different. I don't need to be of Scottish ancestry to wear a kilt, anymore than a Scot would have to prove his lineage from an American cowboy or gold miner to wear blue jeans. I just like to wear it. And by the way, a good kilt pin will help with those windy days. Just my tuppence. Andy |

| we got a nice collection here.. but my BF only wears his to impress me |

Often my wife will ask me to wear my kilt to some function or other, like to the symphony or such. She says that I wear a kilt well. All she has ever said about my other clothing choices is "Don't dress like a street urchin!" Must be something about a guy in a skirt!  Just my tuppence. Andy |

| ooh I think there is I think it's a very nice piece of clothing, and you can wear it as casual or traditional as you like... |

Hit me, whip me, make me write bad checks!  |

Beware of sharp kilt pins!  |

| Wow. What a touchy subject.. and I thought this forum was supposed to be about religion, or the choices of religion by others. An to think some are offended by clothing. Well, to shame marilyn manson! Want to talk about clothing, how about ms. spears or ms. aguila's choice before they turned 18?  Anyways,... here's some food for your brain... The Christmas tree comes from the pagan tradition.. decorations and all. Except I don't think they hacked it down and brought it inside. Halloween is really a celtic new year before the gregorian calendar was in total place. Roodmas is really Beltane. and do you think "Noel" came from "Yule" - pronouced "EWE-elle" ?? Talk about supression.. and depression... yours as always, Julia as Falachaidh |

I have great respect for the followers of any religion, and I love all people, and the "sanctity" of anyones belief....If I get an inkling that a person is adding a comment because they think that the religion is hollywood cool, I will question them.  |

| I am locking this topic since it seems RW did not moderate it to stay on course. As of today 9/21/04 it is read only; I could do worse and remove the off topic posts, but I will let them stand for all to see. |
