    I will say this too. It also depends on the place. School, Wal-mart, McDonalds, football game in HS, all of those places have people wearing MUCH worse than camo. Besides, he's in HIGH SCHOOL guys. He's not a 20-something or 30-something grown man who is begging his wife to let him wear camo to open house at his kids school....loosen up a little.

    At our Wal-mart we have seen men of ALL races and even some women wearing FULL camo. From head to toe. It depends a little on your location too.

    We know. We were just agreeing that his Mom has a point. She probably just wants her son to dress a little better. It not only reflects upon him, but also her.

    Oh, and your mom is right in every which way on this one.

    I agree, that's why I even make sure my 2 year old has his hair brushed, his teeth brushed and his clothes match. I may be a little crazy about it. BUT, you know what? My 2 year old has a camo long sleeve tshirt, and mossy oak camo boots and he wears them to Preschool. GASP!!! OH NO!!!! My 2 year old is white trash and so am I?! OH NO!!

    He said he doesn't wear it everyday and it's not full on head to toe camo. Loosen up a little Hooker. It's not that serious. He's not wearing cigarettes rolled up in his sleeve, or sunglasses turned upside down on the back of his neck, and if he's wearing camo I bet you can't see his boxers! Give the kid a break. He's a teenager.

    Let me clarify to the OP. Don't blatantly disregard your mother's requests, BUT don't take to heart advice about what children should do, from people who don't have children ;)

    I have to agree, and furthermore I am not comfortable telling a child that its ok for him to not respect his mothers rules. I think it sends the wrong signal and our thoughts on the issue are not really relevant in regards to his mother wishes.

    I know what I would tell my son if he every said so and so online agrees with me....I would tell him to tell so and so to start sending you checks for your college tuition.

    Sounds like you need to loosen up a little. How does someone wearing their sunglasses behind their head affect you?

    I know it doesn't. I've admitted to judging them based solely off their clothes. I know I'm shallow.

    You, however, are criticizing those for judging people wearing camo, all the while you are doing the exact same thing for others choice of attire that you do not agree with.

    Keep the women in your life happy. It makes for a much easier life :D.

    Honestly though,I don't see the big deal about wearing a camo jacket or shirt in public.

    No one over the age of 12 should ever wear a jersey, unless they are actually playing in the game.

    I would say a camo sweatshirt is where I draw the line. I wear one on campus about every day. I definitely don't like walking around in full camo in public though. Even when I am coyote hunting or turkey hunting and stop in the gas station to get a drink or lunch, I feel like a ****** lol

    Like it or not, the general populace sees people that wear camo around town as low income, uneducated, tobacco spittin', knuckle draggers. Unfortunately, they would be right often enough to perpetuate the stereotype.

    i wear diff camo "around" tee shirts and sometimes a hat, but never any camo pants. if i have to go someplace fancy i'll just throw on my bh.com hat (no camo, plenty of gear you can represent what you like to do thats not camo) and i'll wear it to work but not at work....

    My husband keeps me happy. Not impossible.

    And Hooker, I'm not judging anybody based on the clothes they wear. I was comparing you judging that boy for wearing camo to other things society judges people based on. I'm beginning to wonder if you are really a man. Interior Decorator and shallow? LOL :lol:

    Yes you do. We all do. It's in our nature.

    All humans are shallow.

    And real men know how to dress properly.
