to not really care what people wear, whether its for religious purposes or because they think it looks good.

fgs, i couldnt care less if anyone else wore a burkha, a hijab, a hairscarf or a g string and feather boa!

why on earth are we so bothered by other peoples looks or the way they choose to live and/or dress?

Depends if they are making a choice or if they are forced under threat of 99 lashes with a whip...

But I agree with you about who gives a fuck about other people's day to day life choices.

I fail to care how other people choose to live, what they wear, what they eat.. basically anything that other people choose to do that doesn't affect me or anyone I care about and that isn't actually a crime or a behaviour that is generally considered socially unacceptable.

Quite complicated really.

exactly, it all comes down to choice.

I agree.

there's a thread running atm about someone driving their kid 50 yards to school.

Read it, thought "I don't give a shit"

Which is pretty much my attitude about most things.

But there are choices people make that do affect us and I want to make clear that I am not saying I don't give a shit about someone's choice to beat up their partner, or steal...

me too.

i get v frustrated sometimes and can spend hours scanning threads thinking "i have no opinion. i dont care enough one way or another"

Me too.

But I feel that I can't go round the boards actually typing that.

i dunno, Lady. Perhaps it's us two, maybe we're just weirdy and other people care loads about how long some woman on the bus had her jumper, or how far other people drive in a week, or how much someone else spends on something, actually do get 'shocked' or 'disgusted' about such things.

Maybe we are heartless, unfeeling and disconnected from society.

Or maybe people don't actually care care and it's just meaningless chat to pass the time.

Really, I agree. For me, any god, God or G-d worth believing in has better things on his/her mind than what women are wearing...
