    I hate the way scumbag's get stereotyped with tracksuits.

    I wear tracksuits most of the time, so that makes me a scumbag...?

    I've walked down the road with my hood up aswell. That's also because you lose 60% of your body heat through your head, so believe it or not it keeps you warm.

    I find tracksuits much more comfortable than my jeans and other types of clothing. I love just walking around in my 'miles too big for me' hoodie.

    Not all track suit wearers(?) are scumbags but all scumbags wear tracksuits?

    I've heard a bit about this from a friend in social services. It's something to do with their claiming of disability benefit and the crutches are part of a scam. Thought she was winding me up but she was dead serious and she say's she is seeing more and more of it due to normal social welfare benefit being cut.

    a lot of junkies are on crutches, im not sure why, maybe it's walking in front of luases (luii??) when out of it, or banging up into your legs cripples you who knows.

    http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2008/dec/17/medicalresearch-humanbehaviour

    A US army survival manual from 1970 strongly recommended covering the head when it is cold, since "40 to 45 percent of body heat" is lost from the head.

    Rachel Vreeman and Aaron Carroll, at the centre for health policy at Indiana University in Indianapolis, rubbish the claim in the British Medical Journal this week [2008]. If this were true, they say, humans would be just as cold if they went without a hat as if they went without trousers. "Patently, this is just not the case," they write.

    The myth is thought to have arisen through a flawed interpretation of a vaguely scientific experiment by the US military in the 1950s. In those studies, volunteers were dressed in Arctic survival suits and exposed to bitterly cold conditions. Because it was the only part of their bodies left uncovered, most of their heat was lost through their heads.

    I wear tracksuit pants all the time but not your usual shoite, usually Rugby Gear, nothing wrong with it at all, they are comfy thats the main thing, not everybody who wears tracksuits is a scummer, i just buy the bottoms never the tops, it beats wearing jeans all the time or work clothes, jeans are all too common, just go into any pub/club and its a sea of various shades of blue jeans. Boring

    My wife, who I should mention is not Irish, and me (I am) wear tracksuit bottoms at home. It's comfortable. I almost never wear them outide as I get too many funny looks, and sometimes even comments. She does wear them outside, and mostly gets away with it as she does not look like the typicial female tracksuit wearer.

    Why do footballers wear such god-awful suits. Open any edition of "Hello!" magazine and you get John Terry, Steven Gerrard or whoever wearing some terrible pinstripe suit with weird pointy shoes and an oversized tie, maybe even a flat cap.

    Seeing "skangers" in tracksuits and posh types in doobs doesn't get my attention anymore really. But people who wear flat caps, especially indoors, just makes my mind boggle.

THe funny thing is most of these people are completely shocked when they hear he is studying philosophy. Its almost as if, if someone wears a tracksuit then thats it, they have to be a waster. They cant be in the shop to buy something they're there to rob it, they cant be doing anything good with their life and without a shadow of a doubt they are scum. I swear to god the Irish attitude to tracksuits really annoys me.

    If he is studying philosophy, he is a waster. How is he going to contribute to the economy when he finishes college - sitting around all day thinking about life?

    Of course there will always be exceptions. But I bet if you took a sample of 100 Irish shoplifters, the number of tracksuit wearers would significantly outweigh non-tracksuit wearers.

    You could apply the same to a sample of teenagers pushing prams, drug-users, people with IQ less than 100, people with previous criminal records, people scrounging off the state, etc

    So if someone doesn't contribute to the economy then they're a waster..... thats a good philosophy right there. What do you contribute to the economy may I ask?

    Oh nearly forgot. I don't know if his plans have changed or not, but I know this time last year he planned on finishing college and getting a job in the prison system to help give prisoners (particularly repeat offenders) new perspectives on life. Try to help them see that there is more to life then drink and drugs... that sorta thing. Personally I cant see it working... but at least hes trying :)

    >implying studying Philosophy is the opposite of being a waster.

    Hey, I'm pissed off that I can't grow my facial hair in a neat little square under my nose but I don't really want to deal with that stigma. Tracksuit pants are alright, I wear them when I'm sick, particularly hungover or at the gym/playing sports. But I know they look scummy and lets be honest, jeans aren't really that uncomfortable.

    I wear Nike tracksuit bottoms a lot, have a few pairs in navy and grey. I wear them in the gym and sometimes in college too. I'd never wear a full tracksuit though.

    Scumbags wear tracksuits all the time, usually with a Celtic/Shamrock rovers jersey and a gold chain. And their "motts" wear the full Adidas tracksuit with massive hoop earrings and their hair pulled back.

    I think it's OK to wear tracksuits sometimes with a T-shirt. I know I could never go around in jeans every day. If you want to wear tracksuit bottoms but don't want people to think you're a scumbag wear an Abercrombie t-shirt to avoid any confusion :pac:

    Who owns that fcuking arm?! :confused:

    Edit:
    I find tracksuits horrifically uncomfortable and cold.
    Never wear them, there's no need.

    If I'm only at home though, I'll wear PJ bottoms and a shirt if I just want to be comfy.
    If I'm going outside, I'll put on a pair of tight jeans. For this, I am of course gay.

    Fcuk you, scumbags. Fcuk off with your fcuking crutches, gear and track suits. I bet you've never been near a running track in your horrible little lives.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 850 ✭✭✭Muff_Daddy


    The only reason I wear clothes is because if I didn't I'd be nude - therefore why the hell would I want to wear chaffy restrictive tight denim when I can wear nice and comfortable loose cotton? No brainer as far as I'm concerned - Tracksuits FTW.

    Seriously, why give a f*ck about the fashion police.
