Omg please not this again, Heineken owns all beers imo even the Belgium beers and thats a personal taste. Hell there are even people who like Bavaria or Grolsch beer :(
Ah come on, even most Americans know belgium is the land of beer, chocolate and fries.. heineken is one of the better mainstream beers in holland (that doesnt make it good ofcourse) but dont even try to say it's better then belgian beer. Sure, maybe im biased because I live in belgium but im kinda sure of it ;p
Most country's even import duvel / hoegaarden and overprice it thinking it's one of the 'classy' beers while it's completly mainstream here.
Offcourse they know that Belgium is the land of beers but that is because the varity of beers not because they have the best beers in the world, offcourse Belgium people think their beer is the best just like I think Heineken is the best.
Just like everybody knows that the Netherlands are known for their softdrugs and red lights but that doesn't mean the best drugs and prostitues come from the Netherlands :)
even if i'm belgian i have to admit heineken is *drinkable* but only when its fresh. appart from that i agree with nhl, heinken tastes like piss. (yes i drink my own piss before you ask :x)
Ah camping, waking up at dawn, freezing cold, slightly damp, blims in your clothes, starving and with a taste of sick in your mouth from drinking too much white lightning the night before.
I don't do it anymore but those pics bring back some bad memories.
White Lightining is a strong brand of cider in the UK, commonly drunk by 2 types of people. Tramps, or teenagers looking to get as wasted as they can for less than 4 dollars:)
No teenage camping trip would be complete without a bottle of this stuff.
thats funny, because white lightning here in the states is a nickname for moonshine, which is pretty much pure grain alcohol.. and as im from kentucky, the home of moonshine, it caught my attention :P
Describing the typical American as "fat" is not only a shallow response, but it's also far too generalized. I was going for what you think our general mindset is and attitude among other things.
Can read there, note how americans think they are ok, when I said most americans I was actually exclusing states like MA (boston) though they wear bow ties and like red socks, but least it shows a little character and style.
White socks are just shitty, mostly left over from your college or high-school years and were probably purchased by your mom.
If you still believe me and don't care about sock clolour, then just wear black or dark couloured socks.
People who wear white socks are clueless and won't care it, and you'll not get any "he wears white socks" from the ladies or anyone else.
All depends on what you wear of course, but it's complicated and theres too much irony for me to go further telling people white socks are bad, when Im sad enough to write paragraphs on such a trivial topic, but put it this way, two guys come in for an interview, if one worse white socks I would employ the other. If both wore white I would LMAO and employ neither.
And I'm not fashionable at all, I wear normal stuff, but no white socks:)
Well when you started talking about white socks to an interview, I would do the same. Send the bum with white socks home, and hire the other dude. I've never worn white socks when I've dressed in something like a pair of kakhis and a polo shirt, it's just not kosher. However, when you start to talk about everyday wear, then I have to question it. On a typical day, I will wear something like a nicer T-Shirt from like Old Navy or American Eagle or a polo shirt with a pair of sandblasted jeans or jean shorts or kakhi shorts. With this combination do I find nothing wrong with wearing white socks, nor do I understand why it would be distastful. But here's something else to think about, what about wearing black or darker colored socks with shorts. Regardless of what style of shorts and style of shoe that you are wearing, to me at least, it just doesn't look quite right.
Either way, it seems sort of trivial to nit pick about what color socks someone wears when it comes to more casual attire such as what you would wear if you were just going to go out and grab a burger and rent a movie. If it were of a more formal/important occaision in which a classier style of fashion is required, I definitely see something wrong with it.
Trust me on this, most decent women (or whatever rings your bell) think white socks are naff at least in middle-class areas of the UK.
I wear surf type stuff most the time, so I'm far from a snob or anything, but it's just one of those little things I notice.
Not really applicable to most people on this site due to age but its something to bear in mind when you get a lil older.
Think of it like this, never wear white socks and you can't go wrong.
If you're under 20, don't even bother worrying about this :)
Oh trust me, I can make the distinction of what is fashionable and what is not. I'm not gay, but I would say that I have at least decent taste in what to wear and when. BTW, I would not be caught dead wearing socks like that dude is wearing in your pic. If it's white socks that I'm wearing, it's white ankle socks and nothing longer.
I guess I could see how in some cases that wearing black socks could make what I'm wearing seem a little bit more classier. However I'm not going to run out and buy some black socks because of this thread. Something more like I will think about it when I go to buy more socks.
omg whats the deal whit socks? is this a NA/UK thing? never heard of anyting more stupid then this.
who the fuck cares? i guess a white t-shirt is ok, white underwear ? yes? no?
so who gives a shit about socks. peaple nagg about this, its just socks ffs.
Shallow would be saying only fags and women shave their armpits.
As you can see, even if something sounds shallow and rude, it's can still be a valid point and be widely true.
No, I'm saying shallow individuals dismiss people on account of the color of their socks or length of armpit stubble.
As you will see when you grow up into the real world and might even have a boss wearing white socks, why you should really dismiss someone is by what they do and say. Consider yourself dismissed.
No boss of mine has ever worn white socks socks and unless I get demoted to sweeping floors I doubt I would ever see a boss in white socks.
That's the whole point, boss's are generally successful people, who in turn have a little taste and would know never to wear them in the first place.
Becasue they only go with stuff like tracksuits. And unless you work in sports, changes are if your boss is wearing white socks towork, you're ni a crap job.
I have grown up thanks, thats why I'm able to point this out.
Go look outside, see who runs the world, see who makes things happen.
It ain't those who wear white socks to work. And no I don't refuse to wear them because I'm trying to be something I'm not.
I don't wear them cuz they' really are that bad a statement.
you might aswell tatoo "unaware" across your head.
That's right everyone, don't wear white socks. Then you too can be a boss. Cause as we all know, people in managment are generally really intelligent and are usually very trendy. It also lets everyone who knows that socks matter that you know that they know that you know you know that appearance has everything to do with who you are and that you have a great job because of it.
who gives a fuck about socks?
i find it strange if someones elses socks can really change the way you think of them. do you really care that much about someone elses personal sense of style? i mean, shit they can do what they want. anyways, it seems to me that its really hard to ascertain someones whole character or put them under a label for wearing any certain type of "wrong" clothing, much less socks................. who gives a fuck about socks?
from your site
The only reason that white socks are 'not done' in Britain, is that the Brits have milk white legs, which actually makes the socks invisible, and suggests that people go barefoot. The Dutch are much better looking people, and if they want to wear white socks that is fine with me.

i agree with the fact white socks look stupid _if_ wore with a "classy" suit or whatever, but for everyday, with jeans and sport shoes i find dark blue/black socks ugly.
ah well, i guess you must be some metrosexual faggot or summit.
no, only typical ethnocentric eurotrash would go around spamming why white socks suck.
Its about cultural taste, knee high socks with shorts in any culture is unfashionable. In NA colo(u)red (gotta add the u so jamerio doesnt think I'm an "arrogant american") socks with casual attire is seen just as nerdy as it seems white socks is to Jamerio. Making fun of people for wearing white socks when you can only see them for seconds at a time when you are sitting down or have your shoes off just makes you seem shallow and insecure.
