djm99 said:We are really saying the same thing. I agree that people SHOULD NOT be judged by their dress - but in "THE REAL WORLD" they are. Does it make it right - ABSOLUTELY NOT - but nonetheless a reality? If you saw a women in a nurses uniform youd assume she was a nurse, if you saw a guy/women in a police uniform wouldnt you assume they were a police officer, if you saw a guy/girl in a firefighters uniform on wouldnt you assume they were firemen the list can go on and on. All I am saying is that young people feel they have to "be you" - or "keep it real" - when they really don't understand reality. They unfortunately haven't lived long enough and trust me I understand youngsters I work with them daily!!!!! They (young people) can still be themselves - but it is a time and place to be "you". I personally think that what you do in the privacy of your own home is your business - and if dressing like a "gangster" (as said by the OP) in a theme park is comfortable for you - "be you" but understand that people are watching you and "judging" you (regardless if their perception is true or not). AGAIN - IS IT CORRECT TO JUDGE OTHERS, - ABSOLUTELY NOT - BUT NONETHELESS A REALITY!!! - THIS IS TAUGHT IN EVERY LIFE SKILLS class across America. How much respect would I receive as a teacher if a parent came to school and found me in Night Club clothes I have to dress the part as a teacher daily.
Exactly, I completely agree. But what I'm saying is that we're talking about a theme park, not a business situation. People should be able to dress however they want, and if it bothers other people, then tough. The lines will be shorter without them, anyway
