Barefoot Un-friendly States

jesus christ, shoes are not all or nothing! you can wear shoes for 5 minutes when you're walking through the mud and then they can be removed.

 

I'm not saying they're all or nothing, you are dragging this on and on. I don't own a single pair of shoes. I have no problems getting around barefoot. You are cutting me and others down for not wanting shoes. You wear shoes, I don't. What's the big deal with that?

 

good gawd.

 

that's just it; it's not a big deal. i'm not cutting anyone down for not wanting to wear shoes; i'm cutting down people who want to make a big deal out of not wearing shoes. i've made that point several times throughout this thread, only to be repeatedly accused of attacking you. NOBODY cares if you don't want to wear shoes; that was my original, maybe poorly worded (but repeatedly explained since then) point. the only people i've yet to see make a big deal out of it are the barefooters who feel like they need someone to rebel against so they pretend people who wear shoes have a problem with people who don't.

and don't pretend you're not dragging this on just as much as i am.

 

i wud hope whoever yur with in bed there is a lot of sweat. otherwise go shoot yourself now.

 

Based on your avatar picture, I would think your four horseshoes would be hard to remove quickly.

 

I tried to give you rep for this post its exactly my thoughts that haven't been posted.

 

my avatar was a bit of a compromise. this is what i actually look like:

it's the thought that counts.

 

I see you bought your shoes at the online store here. Nice.

Don't forget the dinner party at my house Friday night. You are definitely on the menu...I mean, um, the guest list.

 

I don't see horse shoes in his avatar, just a horses ass. Wait a minute, that's not a horse, it's a whole ass. Now I completely understand.

 

Who's making a big deal about not wearing shoes? I simply don't wear shoes because I don't have shoes.

The whole point of this whole thread was to determine which states are tolerant of barefoot hippie folks like me and which states do make a "big deal" about not wearing shoes.

 

You seem to be making a bigger deal about being barefoot than anyone else here.

 

Can't say i disagree with you guys at all or that i haven't also tried this tack. It doesn't seem to work. being barefoot does not make you a hippy. caring about child slavery is admirable but doesn't make you a hippy, tho it works somewhat. Maybe, just maybe, being concerned about American youth, innocent iraqis and afgans being killed would be closer to the whole hippy ethic. Not to mention peoples civil rights. and, maybe getting politically active about it would make you a hippy. what the f do i know, i just lived through the era.

but some really vacuous folks think barefeet and cargo shorts is the shit. what can you say?

but back to barefooting, go for it, but if you go to eat or a bar or ..i dunno...say the metropolitan museum, you should at least bring backup flips. that does not seem like a major cop out to me.

 

well, i don't think any states particularly care what you wear on your feet. sure, it's more normal to go barefoot if you live on the beach than if you live in, say north-central alaska, but no one really cares.

you have to realize, i've been posting here off and on for 8 years now, so i've seen a LOT of militant barefooters making completely idiotic anti-shoe posts. i also have yet to see someone here or anywhere else complain about someone else's lack of footwear. so when you made a thread about places that have a problem with your barefooting, i had to assume that you made up this problem in your own mind, just so you could have someone to rebel against, like so many others who have passed through here. maybe you just assumed that there were places that were not so accepting, or maybe you got the idea from some of the other barefooters here, or hell, maybe you even have actually met someone who cares what you do or do not wear on your feet. or maybe you just made it up to have someone to rebel against, i don't know.

whatever the case, you have argued against almost everyone here who gave a reason for wearing shoes. nobody said you need to wear shoes at all times; people have just been pointing out why shoes are in fact a practical invention, and you continually come back to argue with them that shoes are in fact a bad thing in pretty much every way. so while i may have jumped to conclusions early in the thread, since then it seems that you have proven my point that you really are making a big deal out of nothing.

 

Yeah, lets all compromise, me and underwear will admit bear feet can be nice, and you jaime admit shoes can be nice ok?
