And I'm tired of gangsta hoodie wearer!

[G.T.]

It's plenty logical. How is it not a courtesy? I'm trying to be respectful of others. Stores get robbed often by hooded robbers, it's not a rule dude, it's a courtesy.

I cannot believe I am arguing about this. I don't care if you wear a hoodie and you shouldn't care how I show courtesy to others.

Don't take this as I'm mad or anything like that, I'm just surprised at the shit people can find to debate about, that's all.

Stores don't even get robbed all of the time - some never in their existence, others a few tops. Stereotyping everyone coming through the door with a hood up as a potential robber is stupid, it is not logical - thus not a courtesy to take it off.

I'm not debating it, it's just the truth.

Whatever's clever, man. It may not be logical but I have noticed the clerks watch you more when wearing hoodies. But oh well....

Hoodies have big pockets, lol.

In all seriousness - it's because criminals wear masks. but that doesn't make it right to stereotype hood-ros (nickname).

I also don't think to take a hat off at the dinner table - and won the tit-for-tat abo0t that one day with my Gram. She ended up agreeing - the only reason she wanted it off was tradition but she didn't know why else. She said it was something in the church where the Priest wanted to be able to see your eyes or some shit - thus the "courtesy" of doing it was born.

Ah, you just like to argue. Are you a lawyer? If not you should look into it.

Either way, you should show your grandmother more respect than that.

But you think that has to do with tradition more than just being courteous, so I don't expect you to Do so. Lol

 

[California Girl]

To remove it as being a courtesy makes no logical sense. It's only conforming to some past traditional norms that, still, don't have hard logic behind them.

And there's reason for them indoors, to have a good nap during the day, for example......to sweat more during a workout.........to stop head-phone wires from over dangling........not that there needs to be a reason.

I've worn one during an exercise class, and I sometimes have my hoodie on in bed in winter if it's seriously cold... and I have the hood up in bed. To me, it's courtesy to take the hood down inside... I'm not judging you for not doing so, it would be cool if you treated others with the same respect.

I didnt render personal judgements on anyone.

I said I dont find the logic. I still don't, so I don't observe the traditions.

I didn't call it a 'tradition', I called it a courtesy.

I like tradition... but that probably comes from an interest in history.

So now they want a Million Hoodie March?

Why do you think the hoodie wearer was shot?

Some schools are telling students to leave their hooded sweatshirts in their lockers unless they want to be suspended.

The schools say students wearing hoods can conceal their identities from hallway cameras that might catch them cutting class or breaking into a locker.

Honestly why would someone wear a hoodie on a dark street in 70 degree weather other then hiding identity!

AND it isn't a BLACK issue! It is a fact!
More blacks wearing hoodies are more involved in criminal activity then blacks NOT wearing hoodies!

btw, I just checked. It got down to 55 that night, which is cold if you're a kid from south Florida.

Not only are you stupid, you're also a liar.

Negged.

I don't see many in Florida; regardless of race, it is too warm here most of the time.

No, I'm just consistent on not conforming to ridiculous traditions. that's all.

My grandmother respects my view and now agrees with it. shes my buddy. I have plenty of respect for her, she's just not a nazi and is open to change when it makes sense.

these things are all relative.

the first person who stopped wearing wooden shoes probably looked like an idiot.

i dont mind ushering in the moderninity of societal norms. it's not wrong, or argumentative. there's just not been another "side" to the arguments, of the things I'm proposing.

It could be just "in style"; I remember clogs.

I throw up my hood sometimes b/c it is comforting for some reason.
I throw up my hood sometimes because it stops my headphone wires from waving all over the place.
I throw up my hood sometimes to give a middle finger to people who think that wearing your hood up in nice weather is somehow indicative of being a hoodlum.

glad that 3rd one works.

I have never met anyone who has a problem with people having their hoods on, though to be courteous, I remove mine when I enter a store. I could understand why it would make a clerk uncomfortable.

Yeah if you have your hoodie up and sunglasses on you might just be the Unabomber!

but calling it a courtesy is a belief based on (insert logic here)

between the parenthesis is empty.

that's what i mean.

It is based on a simple concept... that I like to see the person I am dealing with. If you were inside, and we met, and were having a conversation, I would probably ask you to drop the hood. I like to see the person, not the hood. I think it's respectful to others. And....believe it or not... in RL... I'm quite a respectful person.

Those hoodies are here to stay. Even if they get them out of the schools, it is now a staple. Kids just have hoodies in their wardrobe.

My kids love hoodies. They're a good sweat shirt, and have a hat. They're nothing new.

Hoods should be removed indoors, as should hats and caps. Didn't an old, now deceased, coach of the Cowboys take his hat off in the stadium. Landry, I THINK.

It's based on common courtesy. It shows respect for the person you are talking to. I know that sounds illogical to you, but many people prefer eye contact when conversing. If I ever meet you and come into your home with my hoodie on, just remind me to leave it on. Lol

I'm not being rude but my eyes can see someone's face in a hoody perfectly, same as with a hat.

You lose me here.

Get your eyes checked? I can see people's eyes in hoodies. Plus - I don't think it's rude even if I didn't. Weird, i am.

I would consider it rude... whether you would see yourself as being rude is only part of the issue.... it is, at times, considerate to take into account the opinion of the other person. I would consider someone refusing to remove their hood to be rude.
