  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Running, walking fast with no shirt on?

Alrighty, I'm aware that a lot of guys don't run around with their shirts off just to show off. I'm sure that some guys really do feel more comfortable like that. You know what though? Y'all are gonna get me in a durn car accident!! *laughs* It may be flattering to have women callin out like cats in heat, but have mercy on us poor Christian women who are trying real hard to be good, ok? lol It's one thing to talk about causing a brother to stumble, it's another to cause a sister to stumble so hard that she falls on her bum for tripping over her jaw, okie dokie? *chuckles*

Guys, keep the shirts on! lol Goodness, who needs to be seeing all of those bare chests glistening, makin ya want to chase a drop of sweat down somebody's spine? *clasps hand over mouth and looks guilty* See? Y'all should be ashamed of yourselves for parading that flesh around.......
amen

I've thought about walking without a shirt on before (I have a dog, so I do plenty of walking!), but instead decided to compromise by wearing an old t-shirt with the sleeves cut off. I make sure to make the arm holes kinda big to allow more ventilation, so it seems to keep me about as cool as going without a shirt at all. Try it, and you might be pleasantly surprised. I don't have any problems with going shirtless, but I mainly keep my shirt on out of respect for people who don't want to see that kind of thing.

I like shirt and hate em. I hate the way they kinda hang on my neck and I have to adjust it for my shoulders (I kinda have big traps and wierd shoulders I guess?) but I also hate the feeling of having sweaty underarms and my bicep sliding all over lats.

Basically I just dislike that.... because we're fit... we have to be all self-conscious about being vain.

There are plenty of guys that run without their shirts off near where I live. It's hot Arizona. Heck, if I could run without a shirt, I would. Actually, it's been awhile since I ran in the heat, but when I did, I only ran with a sports bra. It's just too hot to wear a whole lot of clothes.

Keep the shirt off. Do whatever is comfortable for you. If you're doing it to show off to get attention, maybe keep the shirt on, otherwise, leave it off.

Ok, now, I am dying to say this...so listen up! Now I here you guys talking bout the shirts make you hot, the way they hang around your neck, blah, blah, blah,...and yes I am poking fun at you guys, well this is my question...how would you like to have to wear a bra when jogging???? hmmm... they are very hot, tight, uncomfortable and just plain suck! lol. Sorry I had to point that out. It really does not bother me to see a man jogging with his shirt off, hey I am not dead, I like to see muscles! Now if the man is not built I just don't bother looking...I am being honest here and I am probably sinning as well! lol! Its just a really good thing I am out in the boonies because it is not ok for a woman to go out without a shirt, but when I am out building fence and nobody is around, you bet I take my shirt off! Heck just the other day I jumped in the pond in my birthday suit...but as for us women, we have to be proper and have a bra AND A SHIRT on in public areas, isn't it just so unfair??? What a fun thread! You men enjoy yourselves, and us women will roast in not only our shirts, but our bras too! Sorry I just found it funny the complaining coming from you guys on how uncomfy it is to wear a shirt while jogging, I got a good laugh and a well needed one!

I can relate on the sports bra issue, it is hot and sweaty - I taught a class at the Field House yesterday, athletic step, 32 degrees in there, and when I come home I have to change ALL my clothes. But then lets examine the alternative to wearing a bra while running/exercising/bouncing around. It is not real pretty! Sometimes I wear a heart rate monitor too! Hey, God gave us showers for a good reason! Just cause we have to wear bras and shirts does not mean that men should. Men should wear shirts cause men should! There is this muscular real tall man who runs here in Regina. He glistens like metal when he runs, he is 9 ft. tall (I think), is totally bald and wears these silver sunglasses that attach over the top of his head. If I see him when I drive it is dangerous, if I see when when I run in the park I just about hit a tree. This guy looks like a 'hot' alien! PALEEEEEEEEZE, wear a shirt! Thanks for listening, you may carry on now, God Bless, J

I watched him run in the Saskatoon marathon last year, heh. He was totally bald and wore those rediculous Oakley alien sunglasses. I believe he came in second or third behind a local guy. He certainly does stand out though... and in a way those glasses kinda work for him. :cool:

Movement....yeah thats it movement!!!
Hey fallen did you notice I "followed" you here? Haha!! ;)

I decided to "follow" someone with some taste!! hehehe!! I honestly did not follow that dude around from the burger station, I was told about his idiotic whereabouts....lol...and could not resist. Me bad!

I am not well, errr, ummm, chesty, I am well ummm lets say on the mediocre size and I cannot stand the bouncing!! I don't know how some women can and I agree women running around giving themselves black eyes is well....icky.
I tried to get a mental picture of this 9 ft tall alien you uhhh watch...lol...you see out here in the boonies I see maybe 2 cars drive by, thats it, I don't get to see all these interesting people out jogging, so when I happen to go on vacation, you should see me gocking at people, my husband laughs because he was raised in town and is used to seeing people, he will be talking to me and I am just gocking....lol! Something really funny that comes to mind was last summer when we went to Lake Havasu we were sitting on the dock and saw this lady come walking by, she was lit, and had these itty bitty things just covering her well you know and I asked an old lady by me, what in the world does she have on her *******??? She said they were called pasties!:blush: I bout croaked!! That's how sheltered I am! I did however scare the heck out of my hubby when I woke up the next morning to go shopping and he said what do you need to shop for???:confused: I said "Oh I wanna fit in here so I am going to get me some pasties"!!!:eek: I was only teasing of course but it sure was fun to watch him squirm while I was acting dead serious. I however am much more modest than that...well in public anyways!:D
