I have a pair of Reef flip flops, and they are dual purpose. They have can openers on the underside. :tut:

Don't care for flip flops, but if other people want to wear them and potentially hurt their feet, that's not my concern.

Down in Oz, we call flip-flops thongs...

This does lead to some potential confusion, but what the hell...

But seriously, Coito makes a good point, no? Why ban soft drinks and not flip flops? What say you, soda-ban supporters?

OK, it's not a flip-flop, but still a pretty good find, eh?

Yes, three or four in that other thread, I think.

Flip-flops are terrible.

What you want to get is a nice pair of Teva sandals. They are soooo comfortable, and the thick rubber sole is great for walking on anything. If it weren't for snow, I'd wear nothing else (on my feet that is).

A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.
