Just imagine if only the ol' ladies were, then you might have to deliberate whether to be a WARP member!

Is it that perhaps the person wearing shorts may have shaved and he didn’t? <br /><br />Consider that maybe he has tried shaving or waxing and suffered a bad reaction or allergies and dang-it-all he’s just really hot today (he’s in Hawaii after all).<br />Our culture allows for bare chests (hairy, young, old, muscular or not) just as it allows for bare arms or legs (shaved or not).<br />This is the kind of behavior that is condoned and our children see that makes them think it’s OK to make fun of people just because they are different than us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8798914731248834145.post-84563443142393597352009-04-23T16:23:00.000-07:002009-04-23T16:23:00.000-07:00I'm so glad you guys came!!
