About time someone protested!

I can't believe yall are still talking about this.

 

Why?

 

9 whole pages about a pair of panties?

 

No...9 whole pages about how important it is for parents to send the right messages to their daughters.

 

Round of applause for Magnolia! I wouldn't buy them for my nieces, one of my sisters would think they were just fine. The other one would slap me silly.

 

What most people are overlooking here is that Walmart was selling this item in their juniors section. It wasn't in the children's section of the store. And while I am far from being an expert on women's sizing everything I have found online for both women's sizes and junior's sizing equates to the same measurements. The difference comes that Juniors/Misses sizes usually run from S-XL while the women's sizes run from 0 to what ever be it 12 or 26.

A medium in a juniors equates to a size 8 in womens, atleast on the charts I have been able to find online. And while there probably aren't many women here who shop in the juniors sections of stores I do know that there are plenty of women who do shop in said sections for themselves. Granted most of them are part of the younger generation (18-26) but I also know of atleast one older woman (40ish) that shops there because she likes the cute little sayings found on the shirts there.

Point blank you don't like them don't buy them, but how about trying to find something really worth while to pi$$ and moan about instead of such a silly little thing as what a pair of panties sold in a juniors department of a mass merchant store has written on them.

Oh I forgot, the people that started all this uproar have nothing better to do with their lives.

I said I wouldn't BUY them, I have not, nor will I ever "protest" a product. It's free country, if you can find someone to buy your junk, more power to you. I "protest" with my pocketbook.

 

What you are overlooking is that the discussuion started when michelle stated that she had no problem giving them to her fifteen yeal-old daughter.

This is aside from the fact that, although some adult women can wear "misses" sizes, the "misses" section is the teen section. Just because I like to build model airplanes doesn't mean the toy section is an adult section.

And what about the lack of a life of the person who posts nine pages later that someone should get a life?

 

As for the fact that I posted that these people as well as yourself need to get a life is evidenced by the simple fact that this has gone on for 9 stupid pages of bandwidth. As kdc stated.....she will let her money do the talking which is more than the rest of the morally righteous here seem able to do.

None, nor would I personally buy them this type of clothing if I had daughters. Now if they could talk their mother into buying it for them more power to them.

Evidently most of you have never worked in school systems before. I remember 5 years ago walking through a middle school in Onslow County and the middle school girls had their thongs hanging out the top of their shorts and had the band of their shorts folded down with their phone numbers written on them!! You think parents don't know about that? Hell they do!

 

I would never buy those for my daughter or anyone else's but if someone else wants to buy them for themselves or for there kids go for it. Just don't give a pair to my daughter. The implication is as plain as day.

Hate to say I agree with SS but I do. One night my door bell rang and a friend of mine handed me a bag. I let him in the door, along with his daughter, and looked inside the bag. He stated that in doing the wash he had found the thongs in the bag and asked his daughter where they came from. She stated they came from my daughter spending the night and he was returning the "Traveling Thongs". My daughter walked up and stated that she had not spent the night at their house for a couple of months...the dad looked at his daughter and well you get the picture...Priceless!

Talk about the pot calling the kettle black! You have 1,695 posts! How much time and brandwidth has that taken? Get a life yourself I happen to think morality in our kids is worth talking about. Is morally unrighteous a better goal? Unless you think that we're going to go out and buy the panties after saying they shouldn't be sold in the junior's dept, then our money will do our talking as well.

 

Folks...........as much as I hate to admit it. I agree with Clif on this one. I don't have any girls but I know what my 15 yr old would think if he saw something like that.

 

So...you are saying that it means nothing at all.......?

Hmmm..............Guess it's been awhile that you thought like a 15 yr old, huh? Got news for ya...........kids think like that nowadays. Wake up.

 

I guess you don't remember the "Underage" party pics that were posted awhile back, huh? How can you be so ignorant?!?!?! I HAVE to be careful with a teenager in the house and I have a BOY! I cannot imagine having a girl! Good Lord! I would not only support guns but I would own SEVERAL!

 

Blus...
welcome to my world. Raised two bonus daughters through their teens...I got the grays to prove it....
and now, the 10 yr old is approaching those years...she is vacillating between High School Musical one minute, dreamily staring off into space about Brad Pitt or Ryan Cabrera the next, and then wanting to play with dolls the next...

But, yes, ever vigilant will I be...

Daughters are God's curse on men for being the teenage boys we were...

You are kidding, right? It may not be my kid wearing them (I hope not, I do have a boy) but I have a boy who now has a girlfriend and is getting more than curious, if you know what I mean. The less "distractions" the better, please!

 

Oh....the teenager I was..............

I am just wondering (according to your quote) why I ended up with all boys?

Lord help you with having all girls..............I will pray for you.

 

21.5 yr old son...who really had to pay his dues for looking out for his younger sisters when their boyfriends started to EVEN think about a lil sumpin', sumpin'...

And, perhaps it's not an EXACT science....
