Re: Ban the Flip Flop?
I've never worn flip-flops in my life to my knowledge and I never intend to.
I've worn steel-toed black leather boots from Doc Martins to Combat boots for most of my adult life and I don't intend to change.
And yes, I also wore them to the Kingdom Hall (Church).

Damn Straight that doctor can get bent i've got a $10 pair of thongs comfy as hell and you'll never see me in anything else during summer pubs that require you to wear shoes during summer are wankers.JimC wrote:Down in Oz, we call flip-flops thongs...

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).

Which is probably why she went unnoticed among a crowd of Christians.

It should be illegal to wear them indoors without socks.
I've got a pair of sandals like those, and my feet never smell. But if you wear thin socks, or no socks, they will stink.

BAN FLIP FLOPS???????????? NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
I'm wild just like a rock, a stone, a tree
And I'm free, just like the wind the breeze that blows
And I flow, just like a brook, a stream, the rain
And I fly, just like a bird up in the sky
And I'll surely die, just like a flower plucked
And dragged away and thrown away
And then one day it turns to clay
It blows away, it finds a ray, it finds its way
And there it lays until the rain and sun
Then I breathe, just like the wind the breeze that blows
And I grow, just like a baby breastfeeding
And it's beautiful, that's life

Re: Ban the Flip Flop?
They don't even smell, I think they have some antimicrobial agents built into the rubber. You can always wash them with soap and water, or just leave them outside in the rain. I leave my old pair outside 24x7x365 and use them for out door work when there may be dog poop about.
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.
