Since first impressions and personal appearance are so influential, should ironing be made mandatory?

(patience, poll coming!)

No, because if ironing were mandatory some idiot would just invent another superfluous grooming procedure to waste even more of people's time when they just want to get the funeral/job interview over with.

What's with all of your totalitarianistic threads?

Only extreme ironing, the worlds most exiting sport.

Beg pardon?

NO

but we should recieve tax breaks for buying wrinkle free fabrics.

It shouldn't be mandatory but if you've got wrinkled clothes and you're going somewhere nice, it would be beneficial to iron it so you don't look like a slob.

ha who in hell irons just buy clothes that don't need to be it's that easy

Beg pardon?

I mixed you up with someone else. *nod*

yep... the other person will totally ignore the tattoos, the scars, the unkept long tangle you call hair, even the body oder that's causing the wallpaper to peel.

the only thought that will be going through their mind is "damn, that is one well pressed shirt (s)he's wearing... :D:D:D

i don't see the point in ironing, except for shirts and smart trousers. there's just no need for jeans and t-shirts.

I both approve of and support this recreational activity.

This confuses me.

So your nation name isn't trying to be ironic?

i hear someone did extreme ironing by jumping out of a plane

Extreme ironing, pah! I propose they take one article of clothing, one ironing board, two people each with battery powered irons and stick them in an Ultimate Fighter style octogon. No holds barred, the one to iron the clothing wins.

not battery powered irons... but the really old style iron... the one that you have to heat up by putting it on coals/open flame.

The state should have no place in our appearance.

I utterly, utterly detest ironing.

This confuses me.

So your nation name isn't trying to be ironic?

The name itself, and the activity, are ironic, yes. Such a mundane task placed beside an adjective like 'extreme' is itself amusing, much like the actual activity.

What does it matter if I iron my clothes? They're just going to get covered in mud. :)

It is an interesting wrinkle . . .

yes... we'll have to find a way to deal with that question...

I've just been in a shop where they were demonstrating those machines that steam out your wrinkles - since my t-shirt was rather scruffy I thought they might demonstrate it on me rather than the demonstration shirt they were using.

They refused.

I was not happy.

I am a slob, there's no point trying to hide that, I'm living with a parent still (16)... I have no need to care about ironing.

yes... we'll have to find a way to deal with that question...

Good luck. :p

But don't you want to look spiff under the mud?

Come to think of it, I did jump into mud wearing a tuxedo once. I felt like a million dollars. :)

I was going to reply along the lines of the quip whereby when someone says 'I feel like a cigarette' the reply is 'well you don't look like one'.

So I'd have replied 'But you didn't look like a million dollars', but it felt too literal and not very funny. So I didn't, though in a small way I just have, thus underscoring my lack of humorous ability.

Lucky I never took that clown job :(

Ironing is the most pointless activity known to mankind.

I iron everything. Everything should be ironed. I cannot stand slobbiness.

Well it's certainly mandatory in my place. Dad's pretty fanatical about me not looking scruffy. So it's razor sharp creases in trousers and all that bullshit. Damn, ironing is a pain in the arse.

Sometimes it's a good idea. As a student, I don't really have much call to be super-neat, so I tend to only do it when I'm at home.

You will take my wrinkle-free wash-n-wear from my cold, dead hands! (but polyester leisure suits are right out.... ugh.)

Extreme ironing is no match for water Polo... With Sharks!

Mandatory? Certainly not! It`s up to everyone himself to make sure he makes a good impression. If anyone wants to choose otherwise, so be it!

Seems rather dull. Also does not result in a well pressed shirt...

Actually we should make beatings mandatory for people who propose such blatant waste of tax payers' money because such legislation will takes months to debate and iron out, bypassing all of the important issues like border security, debt, etc. It's like the legislation to ban iPods while crossing the street, waste my money talking about nonsense rather than solve an actual problem.

*irons you* :)

Why does ¬ironing=slobbiness?

I have a wonderful pulley in my flat that I hang all my washing on; by the magic power of gravity, everything comes out uncrinkled.

Nae ironing pish needed.

Unless you're wearing a shirt, that is.
