    Please correct me if I'm off-base, but I'd like to see if I can turn this around:

    I would say that this is like saying, "Because I've seen SOME people who wear PANTS who also "moon" in public (drop their pants to show their buttocks), I should be able to ask ANYONE who wears pants as to their underwear preferences."

    Somehow, when I change the words, it doesn't make as strong an argument.

    However, I do agree with Mark. I believe that the problem with voluntary kilt-lifting at weddings may be due to the fact that the majority of these people are not full- or part-time kilt-wearers, and are wearing the kilt for one day of their life for the purpose of the wedding, and therefore, do not respect it as a normal manner of dress and instead view it as a costume.

    Add massive consumption of alcoholic beverages to the above set of conditions and you are FER SURE lookin' at some "comedians" making asses of themselves.

    One comes across many such wedding clips on the net and many such people do not see the need to be any different in their choice of underwear to what they would wear under trousered circumstances

    But there still remains a major difference between voluntary visual demonstration (questions of taste excluded) and involuntary tactile exploration.
