At least I know I am being blunt in my wording to push you buttons. You didn't seem to care you did the same thing to some of the women here on this board....not only that, but your basically called them money-grubbing whores at the same time!
RinglingRingling wrote:I did not say I am opposed to weddings. I am opposed to having my intelligence insulted as explained earlier.
It wasn't your intelligence that was being insulted by the bride with a child. It was your judgementalism. You equated a bride wearing white with only getting married for presents. That is just stupid.
RinglingRingling wrote:Since there is no tradition of guys wearing clothing connected with chastity prior to marriage, I haven't given it any thought. (tho I would say that any guy dim enough to wear a powder blue tux to his wedding should be screened for breeding.)
So, you hold wearing white with chaste brides...and are rude to those that dare not have the same opinion, because you feel they are mocking the sacrament. However, you don't care if a man was a whore-mongering player who has slept with 300 women in the past year and is only getting married to the woman for the gifts....just because they don't normally wear white to a wedding?
I think we can add sexist pig to the other adjectives thrown your way. I am sure you'll figure some way to claim you really aren't...but it would be hypocrisy......you are holding women to a standard that you don't men.
Lovely.
thank you for demonstrating why discussing anything with you is a lost cause.
did I use the word "whore"? no. that was your insertion. thank you for putting words in my mouth. And since you have now fixated on it, any attempt at explanation is going to be a waste of time. And, because you were offended based on whatever miscue occured between your ears, it is necessary for you to start name-calling.
If you like.. I can certainly toss some adjectives your way. I guarantee they will be every bit as endearing and as charming as you have been.

I think I'm the one who started the name calling. It was fun and felt good and you deserve it for your antiquated way of thinking and insulting overall demeanor. I think she makes a very good point, and didn't even need to use the word "whore" because most of us knew that is what you were insinuating.
so what IS the appropriate color to wear if say one is about 8 months pregnant???? I was thinking tropical myself..... I always get white dirty anyway....

Sorry to highjack this post back to speaking about Jerry Falwell...I do enjoy thinking of what Falwell thought the first time he learned that Larry Flynt published a cartoon of Jerry Falwell reminiscing on how he lost his virginity to his mother in an outhouse.
I don't want to live on that kind of island
No, I don't want to swim in a roped off sea.
Too much for me, too much for me
I've got to be where the wind and the water are free.

again.. whatever. There are some things that I am probably antiquated on. I doubt you are absolutely progressive in all your ways of thinking either.
And, you really have no idea what I was saying. I wasn't calling anyone a whore. Immodest, yes. A whore, no.
This ought to settle what EVERYONE should wear so no one can complain about the color.... Get married on a nude beach. Everyone has to be nude so no comments about the clothing can be made..... though no doubts many remarks would be made about how people were wearing their skin.
After all we were born into this world nude and birth is a celebration for many people. What is a wedding but two people commiting a new life to each other?
Some people are traditionalists...and some people are not.
Why be normal?
Roll with the punches, play all of your hunches...come what may... POW-MIA, YOU ARE NOT FORGOTTEN!!!

Now you're just being obtuse.
I know exactly what you were saying. You were saying it was insulting to be a guest at a wedding, and expected to bring a gift to a couple who had a child together before they were married, especially if the bride wore white as a supposed symbol of purity. Obviously, in your mind, a bride wearing white who had a child out of wedlock is not pure.
How or when I (or anyone) became a mother and the sanctity of my marriage have little or nothing to do with the gifts I may have received at my wedding.
RinglingRingling wrote:In my book, wearing a pure white dress on your first wedding day with your infant son sitting in the front row says, "I think you're a moron, gimme presents".
So, you are saying that people (because your not only including women that have had a child before marriage. now are you?) that have weddings to celebrate their marriage are just doing it for the gifts and if you don't have a child, you aren't? What does any of that have to do with the color of a wedding dress?
Would you feel differently if the bride wore a different color?
I wore red to my wedding...and not a child in sight. What does that make me?
I am saying this:
a) pure white was traditionally has been connected with virginity at the time of marriage. Certainly there were other factors as well, but the connection was white=chaste.
b) pure white, with kid in front row is, in my mind, a lot like the bride saying, "I know you see the kid, I know you see the white dress, I don't think you are bright enough to see the disconnect. And, since you are such a moron, I'll gladly take you for a toaster or a fondue set even tho I just insulted your intelligence"
c) weddings are NOT about the presents, they are about consecrating a bond. But, if someone is willing to think they can fool me, they are also probably the type that are in it for the presents. (Think of them as "Yellow Album Fans of the Matrimonial world")
d) Would I feel differently if the bride wore something in a cream or ivory for her first wedding, with a kid in tow.. yes.
e) do I care what colour you wore at your wedding; whether you were chaste, or whether you were not.. No.
that answer everything?
I'm so glad I didn't invite such a closed-minded, retard such as yourself to my wedding.

Maybe he felt like hiding in Jim Bakkers air conditioned dog house.

I'm extremely offended on behalf of the above-mentioned group (which includes myself)!!!! Although it IS getting difficult for me to keep track of the various groups and causes on whose behalf I AM offended, I will continue to devote inordinate amounts of my personal time to this and other causes on my list.
Thank you and good day!
It's a great joy to offend you. Any time.
I'm extremely offended that you find great joy in my taking offence on behalf of the above-mentioned group!!! And while it IS becoming almost too much for me to handle (ie keeping track of . . . etc etc), I will continue to make the effort to devote inordinate amounts of my personal time . . . etc etc.
Once again,
Thank you and Good Day!!
ps I'm glad all the mods seem to have taken the day off so that nobody can see me being extremely offended on behalf of the above-mentioned group.

but you make it seem like being invited to such a wedding is truly insulting to your intelligence, as if the bride is personally trying to offend and "dupe" you with white-dress wearing.
i'm so sad for the person who considers you friend enough to invite you to their wedding.
POW-MIA, YOU ARE NOT FORGOTTEN!!!
