You are either serious, which I find disturbing, or starving for attention. While I appreciate your attempts to educate me, it only makes you sound shrill. It seems that you want to argue for the sake of arguing. Really, get ahold of yourself.
You make a not so oblique inference that I’m trolling, and yet, you still don’t stop posting. This is your third ‘let’s end this thread post,’ my Junior Mod.
I don’t go to church. Having said that, it seems to me that when one does go to church the focus should be on worship and honoring whichever god is pertinent. Someone who dresses in a sexually suggestive manner is drawing attention away from worship and towards him or herself. What is the point of that? The OP is in the Pit and using hyperbole. I hardly think it justifies the insinuation of trolling.
Ah, much more calm. You did take the high road and stick with it. Good. Spelling and composition… excellent. You’re now considering context in your argument and not assuming intentions on my part… again, very good. Continue in that direction. (Hint: If you’re unsure of the intent of the person you disagree with, then calmly inquire thereof.)
The only problem is that you’re blaming me for the argument. This is the Pit. People pit things. If you (and others) disagree and post your disagreement, technically, you’re the one who’s starting the argument. You could have just shrugged it off and ignored it.
Please get real close to your monitor, moriah. Do me a favor and scratch right on top of [sub]here[/sub]. Kindly take a big long whiff. Done? Good, thank you.
So, uh, what’s the deal here, exactly? Have they not installed the board’s sense of humor with the recent server change? I can’t remember the last time I heard so many assholes snap shut in unison. Sounds sort of like the chorus to The Chordette’s “Lollipop.” Lighten up, people.
moriah, you’re cracking my shit up over here. Keep up the good work.
Oh, well said!
I may not entirely agree with what you’ve said in your OP, but I’ll support this one all the way.
As for the OP…well… I’m not even religious, and I think it’s showing a lack of respect to turn up at a church looking like you’re on the make.
There’s a difference between a sleeveless dress which is well-tailored (like the sleeveless wedding dress mentioned somewhere above) and a slutpuppy dress. In it’s simplest terms it can be brought down to support. A sleeveless dress should either have it’s own support for boobs, or a convertible bra should be worn to do the trick. I don’t think anyone can seriously suggest that it’s an appropriate acknowledgement of being in a house of worship to have your tits jiggling about.
As I said, I’m agnostic-bordering-on-athiest, and yet I’d not even consider turning up to a church in clothing that implied a disrespect to the solemnity of the service.
It used to be (sheesh, I sound old and I’m only 30) that you could rely upon people to be considerate and compromise without all the argument. Wear the jeans-with-g-string out to the mall or whatnot, and put on a pair of simple slacks or skirt for the hour or two that you’re stuck in the church. It’s not such a hard thing to do, nor is it an unreasonable expectation.
People seem to get so caught up in ‘MY RIGHTS’ that they forget how to compromise. They forget about other people’s rights. Like the right to have their religion respected regardless of whether or not you agree with it, and the right to expect that you will attend their service dressed for the occasion and not for a trip to the mall or a nightclub.

How come it smells exactly like dog breath
[QUOTE]
Thanks for taking part in my very own nutsack sniff survey. Always been rather curious as to what it smells like down there. Not quite the contortionist to get the old snozz there myself.
So far we have two votes for “dog breath.” Interesting, though if I were to market the scent, I suspect I’d go with something a bit more exotic like “Souffle de Chein 5” or “Aliento Canino Madrileño.” Could be quite the hit I have in my han…er, nuts. I mean if MJ can market the smell of his sweat, this might just start a new trend. A whole line, or just the perfume ya think?
Ponder that while more votes come in. Although it’s hard to imagine many more Dopers will actually scratch&sniff their monitors.
You know, what with fighting ignorance and all. Ah well, suppose it takes all kinds.
