Bless me father, for I have sinned.

Cheer up. You thought of them before yourself. No confession necessary.

It shows the true character of a man when he considers the needs of others above himself. When it comes to family (especially parents) nothing else is more important.

I don't necessarily agree.

How should one feel when their parents denigrate good people simply because they're black, Chinese, Vietnamese, Mexican, or anything but white?

And how is being bigoted against someone in a kilt any different than being bigoted or prejudicial against anyone based on the color of their skin? Or sexual preferences? Or even their social policies? Religion?

I've noted that a number of people who're the most vocal about how men shouldn't wear skirts are often intolerant on a variety of other topics.

Just because they're family doesn't mean they aren't bigots.

Just because they're family doesn't mean they aren't bigots.

But just because they arent comfortable with something new and outside their standard frames of reference doesn't mean they are bigots. Especially older generations (as a generalization, no reference to most on this board). And just because people are tolerant about kilts doen't mean they aren't bigots.

I would say there is not enough information to make that kind of call.

Just put on your kilt, pour a good cold smithwick's and say 10 hail Robbie's.

You are now forgiven. You are lucky you can still have your parents around you.
