Trouble in your personal life, [MikeD]? |
|
| |
No problems. She will have quite a pristine dress, when the time comes. The last one, however, would have looked like she just made it to the top of hamburger hill... |
|
| |
Meanwhile the groom is allowed to shag as many birds as he pleases, while he is still young and free. [-] for double standards. [+] for visual imagery. [ ] net. |
|
| |
when did Mike say a colored dress is a bad thing? |
|
| |
He didn't. [pocmloc] is just bemoaning the lack of a crossfire situation. |
|
| |
//Meanwhile the groom...// |
|
| |
Have to acknowledge the double standard that
[pocmloc] bristles over, but the groom is pretty
much always draped in black. A waste of paint,
really. |
|
| |
Still, there is something mean-spirited about this
idea (not you, [Mike]). I mean judging and tagging
people? It's a celebration, for pity's sake! |
|
| |
Essentially every wedding would become a
paintball mess. [-] |
|
| |
So a paintball version of the Taliban, then? |
|
| |
//Still, there is something mean-spirited about this idea// |
|
| |
Absolutely true. This idea is not meant to be implemented, nor is it proposed as something which would be good or proper. It is just a hypothetical counter-part to the hypocrisy of the symbolism of the white dress. |
|
| |
And to address your concerns, [Poc], a promiscuous woman has much higher risk of infection than a promiscuous man; ergo nature herself propagates this double standard. How would you expect society to not call a spade a spade, (at least at a subconscious level)? |
|
| |
Are you suggesting people see a bride in a white
dress and think to themselves "Fancy that! She's still
a virgin!"? |
|
| |
Are you suggesting people don't see a bride in a white dress and think to themselves "What is she doing in a white dress?"? |
|
| |
Eh, I think the white dress thing has gone way past Symbolism and headed deep into the region of Tradition. |
|
| |
I would have liked to do the paintball thing in divorce court!! (to HIM!!) |
|
| |
//groom is pretty much always draped in black. A waste of paint//
Well, he's wearing the appropriate black-velvet canvas; might as well take those little tiny paintball beads with flourescent colors, and, by the hand of a true marksman (a la Sherlock Holmes), execute an image of the object of said groom's impure devotions. |

Sounds like you need to hire someone skilled in the art of physical persuasion and lacking in scruples. |

[2 Fries], I just saw your link. You continue to amaze me. |
|
| |
You will say "I do". You have 20 seconds to comply. |
