Shakeyhands Posted March 26, 2009 Report Posted March 26, 2009 When it's sunny, cold, raining or any time they feel like it really. Quote "They muddy the water, to make it seem deep." - Friedrich Nietzsche
Muddy Posted March 26, 2009 Report Posted March 26, 2009 A head dress is smart. One wonders about the intelligence of some who wear a hat. Why in the blazing sun does one wear a peaked hat wrong ways round? I mean are we so afraid of being called a red neck. I even see it on the baseball field! Quote
Argus Posted March 26, 2009 Report Posted March 26, 2009 Why and when should someone cover their head? Well, if you're a woman you should cover it at all times lest the dangerous rays given off by your hair cause men to go insane. Quote "A liberal is someone who claims to be open to all points of view — and then is surprised and offended to find there are other points of view.” William F Buckley
kimmy Posted March 27, 2009 Report Posted March 27, 2009 (edited) Why and when should someone cover their head? When attempting to vote; when being photographed for a passport or drivers license; when testifying in a court of law. Why? Because it's your right to! -k Edited March 27, 2009 by kimmy Quote (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ Friendly forum facilitator! ┬──┬◡ﾉ(° -°ﾉ)

August1991 Posted March 28, 2009 Author Report Posted March 28, 2009 If it's really cold, a hat or hood makes sense (although I know people who, for reasons of fashion, prefer to stay uncovered). I was thinking otherwise. At some time in the 1950s, women stopped wearing hats. Then, men stopped wearing hats in the 1960s. (If you don't believe me, watch any movie from the 1930s through to the 1960s. Random examples: It Happened One Night, both men and women wear hats. The Best Years of Our Lives, ditto. On the Waterfront or Marty, men wear hats but not women. Midnight Cowboy, no one wears hats.) In the past 10 years or so, hats (baseball caps) for men have come back in fashion. Why? Similarly, why do women have to cover their heads when entering a church whereas men must uncover their heads? Quote

In the past 10 years or so, hats (baseball caps) for men have come back in fashion. Why? People wear headcoverings for reasons of fashion, or reasons of convenience, or reasons of culture and religion. Some young people, male and female, do wear toques all year long for reasons of fashion. Some young men have taken to wearing old-fashioned gentlemens' hats. It's definitely eye-catching. I think at some point somebody must have taken a look at old Frank Sinatra films and thought "you know, this was one cool guy." Or maybe Humphrey Bogart. I wear a toque in the winter, to keep warm. I often wear a wide-brimmed hat in the summer if I'm going to be out in the sun for any length of time. Because I don't tan, I just burn. In both cases, it's simply a matter of protection. I need to wear a hat outside in summer, but what kind of hat is definitely difficult, because I wouldn't want to look like some kind of pretentious idiot, rodeo slut, or yokel. Like probably any other article of clothing, choosing a hat might express affiliation with some sort of subculture, hobby, lifestyle, social class, or viewpoint. For the time being, I have a wide straw hat, and a dressier looking one made out of white woven paper. Both were obtained from Zeller's at a cost of about $10 each. For people whose headwear is proscribed for cultural or religious reasons, choosing a hat is probably very simple, but their reasons for wearing it are completely different as well. Similarly, why do women have to cover their heads when entering a church whereas men must uncover their heads? I believe Paul says so in Corinthians, for reasons Argus may have mentioned earlier. -k Quote (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ Friendly forum facilitator! ┬──┬◡ﾉ(° -°ﾉ)
Chuck U. Farlie Posted March 28, 2009 Report Posted March 28, 2009 That's right, yeah. I've had a team working on this over the past few weeks, and what we've come up with can be reduced to two fundamental concepts... One... people are not wearing enough hats. Two... matter is energy; in the Universe there are many energy fields which we cannot normally perceive. Some energies have a spiritual source which act upon a person's soul. However, this soul does not exist *ab inito*, as orthodox Christianity teaches; it has to be brought into existence by a process of guided self-observation. However, this is rarely achieved owing to man's unique ability to be distracted from spiritual matters by everyday trivia. Quote I swear to drunk I'm not god. ________________________
eyeball Posted March 31, 2009 Report Posted March 31, 2009 Why and when should someone cover their head? A brain bucket (hard-hat) when working around machinery or under something is a wise idea. Some of these also come with a face screen and ear-muffs. In the past 10 years or so, hats (baseball caps) for men have come back in fashion. Why? I think a lot might have to do with advertising/signalling our logos, brands, associations and so on. You see a lot of that on hard hats too come to think of it.
