LOL very appropriate! And I don't thing this has to do with religion etc, it should be common sense! Girls nowadays are scary, at 14 they dress and wear make up like they were 25...that's why I look like I'm 12 instead...
At the beginning of last summer I was disappointed about the heat also because I had to wear summer clothes and reveal arms and even sometimes legs... now that's because I'm paranoid but I really wonder how can people go aorund half-naked...

Oops sorry getting off-topic...

This is an honest question, I'm not trying to be insulting. Do you really think that it is wrong to go around with your arms and\or legs bare?

It is wrong(sinfull) to be immodest. You can be immodest wearing a ankle length skirt if it is to tight around the.......hips :) Or pants that are to tight also. I don't think it is immodest to show your leg or arms however, I do think it's immodest to show anything above the thigh. As far as the arms go they are not sexually desirable in our society so no its not wrong to show them(IMO) but, with some tank tops women wear you can see their bra, which I think is immodest.

Exodus 28:42 And thou shalt make them linen breeches to cover their nakedness; from the loins even unto the thighs they shall reach:

No it isn't! You misunderstood me. Just I prefer to HIDE everything I can :evil:

Oh, I'm sorry. Your just real modest. Again, not an insult.

What is there to cover up, anyway? The Body is nothing more than an over-heated factory, an oven to bake the disgusting waste we eat and **** it out again, as waste. It is a machine composed of smaller machines. In it, there is no distinction between the machines that we plug into our walls or use to drop bombs.

Ok... but i never mean to be mean, ever. I didn't think I was.. well, whatever.

It depends on HOW they show they're body at least as much as WHAT they show. That's why nude ppl can still count as artwork- it's ok if it's not sexually provocative. Hence most ppl are ok with nude beaches in parts of europe. It's just open and out there. Surely you can see the difference between that and dressing skanky?

But I can totally see Koa's point. I'm a jeans and t-shirt girl, in that that's literally my whole wardrobe. Jeans and t-shirts in lotsa different colours. roll I don't suppose anyone's seen the cartoon 'rocko's modern life'? and he opens up his wardrobe and they're all the same clothes, in multiples? mine's JUST like that. Koa made a really good point about summer clothes. I can never find clothes in summer at all. It's incredibly frustrating. i didn't even realise it was because they were all naasssty until i was talking to my friend about my shopping inability (on a slightly related topic, I HATE SHOPPING, for pretty much anything) and she said, 'it's because only skanks wear them' I spose on the one hand, a lot of ppl have poor dress sense, and on the other hand it's all the shops provide. Do you have any idea what australian summers are like? standing around in jeans in 37'C heat, and having ppl come up to u and say, 'aren't you hot ?' every five seconds. I can see why some otherwise modest girls would wear somewhat wrong clothes. I just don't feel comfortable doing it at all.

Actually, I formed a little conspiracy theory on this (i love conspiracy theories evil ). ok, the advertisers make girls insecure about their appearance and weight by putting out their ads, right? that's very well established now within our society. nothing new. then, they start making clothes more clingly and tight- girls will still buy them because they don't want the psychological impact of thinking they've gotten fatter. then, they start bringing in more revealing clothes. apart from the few who actually like them, the vast female population will still buy them because what else would they wear? meanwhile, the whole time the manufacturers are trying to tell us that they're giving us what we want by dictating 'fashion'. why? well, did you ever hear about the airline that saved tens of thousands of dollars by eliminating one olive from every meal in first class? By cutting down on material, they're literally saving tens of millions of dollars. Maybe hundreds. Sounds like a nice holiday bonus for some CEO, don't you think?

ooh, I think your right. And, do you know the conversion equation for farenhiet (I think I misspelled that) because that's what I go by.

urr.. from memory? i think it's like multiply by 1.8 and add 32. from a memory that always forgets.

Fayefaye, for the 3rd time today I feel you're my lost sister. I hate shopping most of the time (though I used to hate it more), I wore only jeans for the whole of my teenage years (now I do vary a bit but my mum wonders everytime why do I buy always similar things...grr)...But since I hate summer so much, I do try to wear something lighter lately (our summer mustn't be too different from yours, and I don't know fahrenheit ;))

Sorry about hijacking the topic :(:(:(

D That's fine Koa!! I'd LOVE to be your forum-sister. D I always used to want to be Italian. The fooood!! I gave the temp in 'C, btw. (37 in summer) Oh, the funny thing is, I go shopping with friends, and I'll be looking at a top, and someone'll have to tell me, 'that's identical to what you're currently wearing' before I rush off to buy it because I actually found something I like. I've lost count of the number of jeans I have, they're all piled up in my wardrobe. -? )

I wear pretty much the same clothes every day - same pair of long pants, a t-shirt with a picture of Astro Boy or some band on it, a jacket when I go out, and some crappy black shoes.

I find revealing clothes intimidating in real life, and I think it says a lot about the girl I see before I even talk to her (a nice flitering system, really). At my age, what you wear says a lot about who or what you are. I like a bit of mystery behind the firgure, and anything else doesn't even get a third look.
I look forward to one day meeting a girl who doesn't care too much about fashion, and wears an Astro Boy t-shirt cos she liked the show.

If only all Religion classes discussed clothes in society.

D astro boy?! that guy's so cute. D never seen the show though. actually munro, there're a helluva lot of girls who couldn't care less about fashion. I used to flick through fashion magazines just to take the piss out of the inane articles. (but that gets boring quickly) if religion classes discussed clothes in society, it would just make some ppl want to dress even worse.

Koa and Fayefaye, consider us an anti-shopping trio. I get so frustrated and uptight shopping in regular stores, the only place I can relax in is a fabric store. ( I love sewing!) It's much more rewarding to wear something you made yourself.

I hate sewing. i can't do any of that home ec type stuff. i'm useless at it. i just hope i can be rich enough to have servants who do it for me. D either way, shopping is annoying. i think i brought up the topic of beauty magazines earlier. does anyone else hate them? they're like picture books for adults.
