You wrote a lot for not giving a shit. But that's fine. Really I don't need to assume, you made gay an insult. That's an assholish thing to do. I pointed it out, and you got pissy. So feel free to not care, but I'm going to point things like that out.

All you ever do is try to start online arguments with anyone who thinks differently than you or doesn't a hold quasi-liberal view on life.

Yeah, that's all I do. What is a "quasi-liberal" view? And do only "quasi-liberals" not use gay as an insult?

Did you know that some members on GC will not even participate in a political thread just because they don't want to deal with YOU?

Do I care? I'm a name on the interwebs, and they ignore me, reply to me, or avoid me as they like.

Seriously, just because someone doesn't share the same beliefs as you doesn't give you the right to jump down there throat, tell them to fuck off, or call them an idiot.

I think the last person I told to fuck off had made a "clothes hanger as abortion" joke. Somehow I'm not motivated. Also blah blah no one needs to give anyone the right blah blah.

Grow up Drole.

Funny coming from you.

If you want people to respect your views you need to start showing the same courtesy.

I really don't care if you respect me or my views. I respect my views, and I respect myself. Funny that you do this after getting called out personally, though.

--And yes, I will criticize a guy who posts that he doesn't dress like a "fag" but wears clothes from an extremely gay friendly company.

So you do it by making 'gay' an insult? Cool so I'll keep calling you out then.

Uhh, not at all.

Like I said, you already have your mind made up on whom you like to disagree and argue with on here and because of that you read their posts wearing shit colored lenses.

Feel free to explain how what you were saying was NOT an attempted insult because "only worn by hipsters and gays and you're not a hipster" sounds a lot like "lol u r gay" to me. And again, you also made the first half of that comment "only worn by hipsters and gays."

I don't really look at who made the posts when I'm reading through until I actually make a reply. But I'm sure you're right, I just wantonly target you when you say gay people wear certain clothes and all you really meant was that AA is a very pro-gay rights company. I bet they fight for hipster rights too, that's why that was relevant.

Keep trying.

AA has also done a lot to support/cater to the gay community so I found it quite amusing to read that he wears AA but doesn't dress like a FAG.

Support for the gay community =/= gay uniform. Spectrum and such...

I know you say you were being tongue-in-cheek, but still.

So are Pacsun tees acceptable? The ones with funny slogans? Would just like to get an opinion and then I'll go away. Promise.

NO. And I say that being Northern and all. Those "funny slogans" lost their funniness for most people when they reached legal driving age.

Can you still wear them around the house or to be grubby in? Yes. Should they be a daily wardrobe choice or something you wear to a party? No. I mean...they're shirts made for jr high and HS guys who want to think they're wearing what college students are wearing. (Not a new concept in general)

My chapter didn't even have the 4Ss rule. We would attach the pin to a bandanna or other cloth and tie it around the wrist. We would bribe our frat rats (women that hung around our parties) to get the pins of the pledges. Constant vigilance!

No. My opinion is questions has got to be a joke. They aren't making you wear certain things because it's required for a pledge pin. They're doing it because it defines social class. Pacsun/AA/etc define a social class of hippsters and weirdos that no one in a fraternity ever wants to see from across the quad, much less be associated with. If you have both VV and AA in your closet, you are very confused individual. Grow up and fix your life.

Never heard of any 4-S rule. We had to have it all the time we weren't in our room. Either on with collared shirt or pinned thru the inside of our pocket if wearing a T-shirt. We did have girls swipe pins and pledge books for minor entertainment though.

Lay off the guy already.

You're not calling him out, you're pointing out the obvious. So what if he used "gay" as an insult. Who would ever imagine a fraternity guy doing something like that?

You're spending a whole lot of time demanding people respect homosexuality. You don't get to impose your beliefs on anyone else any more than they get to do so on you. Just think the guy is an ass and move on. Who cares.

That's a BS response.

Anyway -- it's been several days and both posters have stopped talking about this issue, so it looks like she did "lay off" in this thread.

For us, it's required whenever he is wearing a shirt with a collar.

Once again, it is 33girl's fault that dnall is all over the place like this.

And his post was complete bullshit.

I think I've posted in two threads in the last several weeks, so all over the place? Sorry I didn't realize that aspect of the conversation was probably over with.

I don't really care if you think my response was BS or not. You should probably just get over that.

So, you decided to call me out and try to impose your beliefs on me?

Doh.

You're an ass, and an idiot (oh no, I'm so mean.) Don't try and bring all fraternity members down to your level of homophobia and heterosexism.

[dnall]

I don't even know what homosexim is. I'm not remotely homophobic. Being tolerant of others is one thing. Being accepting is quite another. Bullying someone around because they called a straight guy gay is no more acceptable than him calling the guy gay in the first place. Just get over it already.
