"The South" - you mean "The Southwest". Everyone knows the Southeast is the "real" South.

Seriously though I believe it is a bad analogy for the very reasons I mentioned earlier. In the one you are being told what to do in a specific setting by the person who has authority over that setting. In the Gay Marriage issue it is the "Society at large" that is trying to impose their beliefs on others. As noted above I think it is proper to protest those things that are imposed on you by the "Society at large" when you feel they are wrong. However, it is equally proper for the other side to protest it from their standpoint. I could write about that issue more in depth but it would take this thread away from its original subject.

Your post specifically inquired about hat wearing, and asked for our thoughts. I tossed in a little of what I know about the proper etiquette regarding hat wearing (the posted topic) and said that additional information could be found on the internet so that you could further research it if you so desired. In response you posted a rather confrontational reply.

Perhaps your issue isn't so much to do with hat wearing as it is you have a confrontational nature even when it's inappropriate. If you read my post again you'll find that at no point did I attack your position or even question it, but rather simply provided some information YOU REQUESTED.

There is an old saying "My house, my rules." In this case you're in the teacher's "house" so you have to play by his rules. You may not like it, or even think it's "fair" (which is highly subjective anyway) but that's life and in the real world you're going to run into that all the time. If you work for a company you'll be expected to follow their rules, in society you're expected to follow the rules we call laws. That's the real world, get used to it.

>> ""The South" - you mean "The Southwest". Everyone knows the Southeast is the "real" South."

dont be too sure ... sometime its not easy and a bit awkard to be without any caps(or hats) ... so i better off wearing it everytime ... lesser trouble and lesser unnessary etiquettes ands manners of all sorts ...

Not to mention that if you're out in the sun much it can possibly save you from having to deal with skin cancer on your face.

again , dont be too sure about everything ... whether there is sunlight or no sunlight , whether you are under a roof or dont have roof , there are at least two major ways of wearing a cap(hat ??) ... either with the sun-sheild(??) at the back or at the front ... there was a period(rather a long period) when i have it at the back but guess that probably its too "obvious" for many people and i feel a bit awkward actually(just look at those eys !!) so i shifted it to the front right now ...

ok ... seriouly ...

at least i can relate to this topic on the personal ground but how about talking about pipe etiquette ... ^_^ ... although i dont use pipes but my father used to do that , maybe i can relate to it a little bit ...

I just had to laugh while reading this. Just the other day I saw a young guy wearing his cap backwards and using his hand to shade his eyes from the sun. All I could think was "What a putz."

As for pipes, yes there is something to when and where one should smoke one as well as what type of tobacco one should smoke in a public place. I tend to avoid strong aromatic tobaccos in public places as the strong odor can disturb some people. There are plenty of very good mild tobaccos that have a very light and pleasant scent.

sometimes able to see whats infront and a little bit overhead of you is more important ... and its sure can save yourself some neck-ache ... wearing caps backward is more like you are too use to it doing that and i have a hard time shifting it to the front ...

as for the mild aromatic scent ... you can stay away from him/her if you are willing to ... you dont have to worry , no problem from them actually ...




//hmm , all of these do smell milder and milder ...^_^

Try walking into any Texas A&M campus building, with a hat on, and see if you don't get your ass kicked. I don't think it's a security issue, it's a bizarre discipline-military-respect thing. Of course they're out of their minds, but I always heed the "remove your hat" signs anyway.

If the bill of a hat bothers you that much maybe you should wear a beanie instead. With a propeller on top it may help cool your head as well.

I think it interesting that the original question asked about "etiquette" but then devolved into "rights".

Pipe smoking is a different issue. It is one thing to be thought rude (as many pipe and cigar smokers are) but another to be thought to be hazardous due to second hand smoke. I don't smoke but for some reason i've always liked the smell of pipes.

I was thinking the same thing LOL

Yes, it is.

Which has never actually been proven.

Many people do. I used to date a redhead who opened up a cigar/pipe club in the Caribbean simply because she loved the smell of pipes and cigars LOL.

Perhaps I should have changed the title of the topic. Because yes I suppose it is more about rights than it is about hat etiquette. Because obviously there is a proper etiquette to follow but as I pointed out it doesn't hurt anyone if I choose not to follow it. Anyhow, when I posted this, I was a bit pissed off the instructor decided to implement some random policy because I decided to add a hate to my wardrobe, and then when I stopped wearing it he told the rest of the class he wasn't going to push the issue. Umm..

In the meantime, second hand smoke is a known cause of cancer.
