"dress and groom yourself in a manner so as not to arouse suspicion"? It may
not be my place, as I've been very respecting and accomodating, but that
sent me falling over laughing. What about "don't judge a book by its cover"?
I'd like you to say that to some nice christian straight edge punk rockers.
Yes, they do exist, in fact straight edge means no drugs, no alcohol, and no
sex until marriage. They're very nice, moral people... but they look like
Sid Vicious and Johnny Rotten from the Sex Pistols, even though their
thoughts are completely different.
