Yep ... a lot of girls wear blue and nobody feels weird about it how come...I mean they shouldnt feel weird.... but I don't understand how a simple color as pink could cause so much controversy

Hmmms...

I love the color pink, light pink is also the color that looks best with my coloring. I don't consider myself to be a stereotypical female. Growing up I was quite a tomboy actually and chose martial arts training over things like ballet.

^ Yeah, that was pretty much how I was told to put pink with feminity. Yes, I was brought up by some pretty immoral people.

Actually, the um girly parts are refered to as pink more because they are pink.

*R-iZZy* · 06-06-2006, 12:03 AM

I think that's where the pink comes in with feminity: because females carry pink and males kinda don't.

Not saying I believe this is truth... just, the only reasoning I can come up with, now.

Not that there's anything wrong with pink. I remembered a rapper wearing pink mink fur coats and pink suits, and miraculously, there were gangs running around in pink shirts. The thought of being robbed by gangs in pink is sort of out-there, though.

..... I'm just going to be quiet, now.

With this being said, I think the "boy color" should be purple and not blue.

Why? Well... I'll just say "heads up" and let everyone figure it out.

I dunno, I've carried blue before, and it's not pleasant.

Haha. Exactly. Blue kinda hurts, but purple is natural and painless.

**GK Punk** · 06-06-2006, 08:15 PM

Then it's official. Purple is now the official color for boys.

Im jealous of the pink stylus

Canada is so stupid. We didnt even get the pink DS.

Pink is only associated with girls but in this day and age its not wierd to see a guy wearing pink. We see guys wearing make up dont we? so why not pink.

*R-iZZy* · 06-06-2006, 10:18 PM

LMAO@KROW & Josh. Wow... just.....

I can't deny, I'd rather the purple than the blue. Purple isn't the international gay color anymore, is it? Purple's my kind of color, LYK RLY!

Oh get a life...

I always find it amusing when someone takes a moment out of his (or her) life to ridicule someone else for wasting time. There's kind of an ironic beauty in it, don't you think?

Heh. That's an internet forum for ya': Filled with wonderous imagination -- or... lack thereof.

I don't even understand why he said "Get a life".
