They dressed for this very big deal event at this school like they were going to walmart.

This is an International school. Their commencements are very, very, very pomp and circumstance, very intricate, high level of excellence. Ive never seen anything so grand. The school costs around $50K a year to attend (my neice was there on full scholarship or couldn't have attended). It's a big deal to graduate from there.

And the foreigners were all dressed up and respected that. And us country folk did... and most folks did... but some people who should have known better were treating it way too casual in their appearance.....that's the point I was making.

so whats wrong with dressing casual at it? I fail to see any relevance to what your saying? its the same mentality thats in the church, expecially in some people, as i was down at a alter in the upci praying over people I was the only man in blue jeans. after the meeting was over they asked me if i had a suit.

who cares if they wasnt spefied up. there is nothing wrong with cassual dress. who cares about the forigners. as long as its modest, does it make a difference.

so what if the school is prestigous, it makes no difference in the end its tossed into the fire. lets make it a modesty issue, not O my its not right for them to dress so casual to such a prestigous event...

Knowing full well, that it had NOTHING to do with arousal or sexual intent.

because it shows we have no respect for the occasion, the effort put into it, the accomplishments of the graduates, the honor it is for them to be a part of the school... it's a non verbal comment of how they feel about the occasion and the participants. It's disrespectful and inappropriate.

How you dress at occassions is a non verbal comment/statement on how you feel about that occassion.

I would bet that 80% of the grads were dressed down under their robes!

absolutely... a sanctified Christian shouldn't even use that word unless it's in showing it's negativity. Using it in that way makes it seem positive and try to put it in some normal terms of use. It's yet another display of our OVER CASUAL society where words don't matter. We aren't careful with terms we use and we sound like the world and makes us look like we're taking on characteristics of the culture around us.

but UNDER the robes... not where folks could see.... and that was only allowed after the temps were forecasted for 90 plus degrees. There was a dress code given to them before that, girls in dresses, men in ties...slacks, etc... or you don't walk....

and the guys still had to have shirt with tie on, even if they wore shorts even after the rules were loosened some for the hot temps. Oh... and dress shoes required as well... even for doctorate graduates.

It's a very pomp and circumstance event to that school, they don't take it casual or lightly.....at all...

Ya, I can't imagine my wife reaction if I told her "Look here ya old bag. I will admit you are somewhat attractive but my tractor is sexier than you!".

Or maybe I shouldn't caller her "sexy" but bat an eye when I'm in the mood and say "Come here you saucy wench! grrrrrrrrrrrr"
