Really not strange...a person can tell a tree by the fruit.   i.e. an apple tree doesn't grow oranges.

Romans 12:2 "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is–his good, pleasing and perfect will."

Colossians 3:1-3  "Since you were raised from the dead with Christ, aim at what is in heaven, where Christ is sitting at the right hand of God. Think only about the things in heaven, not the things on earth. Your old sinful self has died, and your new life is kept with Christ in God."

Chances are the Amish and the Mennonites would look at what you are wearing and say the same thing about your clothing choices.   Is any clothing more revealing and colorful than what these two groups wear "conforming to the world"?

Well I'm done now. If you all want to debate modesty and fashion knock you selves out. As for me, I need to shampoo my living room carpet today. Dressed modesty of cores while I do it.

Its not vulgar. Theres nothing on display, but people actualy wearing said thing will. My point isto show how certain things are  specifically designed to arouse

 I'll let your words stand, I need not elaborate further.

In the end this topic always comes down to personal preference, nothing more.

But I agree with Neighbor.  A suggestive cartoon is drawn to point out the wrongness of suggestive clothes . . .   That negates the very point they want to make by basically doing the same thing they are doing.  Kind of like drawing a picture of a woman posing in Playboy and saying "This is why you shouldn't pose like this."

First of all Walmart is not the only place you will see this display of inappropriate clothing. I have seen it at some places that people have money. So categorizing people wearing inappropriate clothing because they do not have a lot of money or status is wrong.

Yes, a drawing should not be inappropriate.

It's called a "joke."  I worked for Walmart for 7 years and now work at Sam's Club which is the same company so your characterization above of what I said and why I said it is a little off.  

I did not take it as a joke.  And you did not say you were joking in your post. It just sounded prejudice.

No feather ruffling .  But let me remind us of something I did not say first .    EVERY idle word shall man give account of.

For by thy words you shall be justified or condemned.   I know.  its like I have to be the serious one every place I go.   But this was not meant to be mean to you.

We as christains must learn to tame the tongue.   just a friendly reminder is all.

I go to Walmart all the time. I guess I somehow miss all this inappropriate clothing that you all are seeing there. I guess I am too busy looking for pop corn and shampoo.

Sure is not what the true apostles said.   modest clothing etc.   Call me old fashioned, call me as you will, but I like the pattern Christ set and the Apostels set in churches.

ME agree.

Maybe its just me.  But it seems this liberal view of today , this liberal freedom and sexuality and whatever, Is not free at all, its bondage of sin.
