Well then, by your definition, a website featuring Nazi memorabilia would be just that, a place that features “historical and ethnic memorabilia” right? Not just German, either. That would be OK with you?
Some - that Phd guy and ThisYearsModel, e.g. - show me the error of my ways. Others - Sam Stone and Brutus and milroyj - completely and utterly ignore my posts. Are my posts skipped over because they’re dumb or because no responses can be made against them?
The fact that Brutus has contributed to a four page thread without once writing “TEH SUXXX DOOOD!!@!!” frankly amazes me. Perhaps there is hope after all.
30 years old and I have yet to go to a funeral. Scads of people I know have died, mind you. It’s just that since I travel so much, I have been batting .1000 for being out of the country (or in the wrong country) when someone kicked off. Luck can’t hold, I imagine, as our oldest generation is now hitting that age en masse.
Of course I would wear a suit and tie. But come on, if the weather was pube-freezingly-cold, I think weather appropriate dress would be fine.
Never never ski caps though! Dick should’ve shown up in a top hat and a thick warm cape with one of those eeeeeeeevil curly moustaches. A nice fur felt top hat can keep your noggin’ very warm in the winter and it would’ve suited his personality and scowl better.
To sum up, if you’re part of a political movement that Brutus disagrees with, he can judge your politics, drug use, etc… from your clothing.
If, however, you are a part of a political movement that Brutus likes, he cannot judge that showing up up to a memorial service in a hat with writing on it isn’t polite.
I’d love to take credit for that, but radical lefty hivemind dictates that radical lefties are pretty much a goofy-looking bunch. Dunno why, but there it is.
Nobody is saying that the man should have should have put his life at risk by wearing non weather appropriate dress. Look at the picture again. EVERYONE is wearing weather appropriate dress.
I would have expected the VP of any nation yet alone the richest and most powerful in the world to be able to sort out some clothes that were more appropriate for that type of ceremony.
He does look out of place and a bit of a gobshite in those pictures. Not a big deal at all but still a silly mistake.
BTW just for the record Ireland set it’s president to ceremony who was very classily wrapped up in a big coat and hat. She did manage to get herself into a world of shit though by making a silly comment about Northern Ireland.
