    Two old gits on Liveloine were moaning about The Edge showing disrespect to the President and Seamus Heaney's family by wearing his hat inside the church


    So, what do you think? Is it disrespectful to wear your hat to someone's funeral or not?

    Me, I wouldn't give two tugs of a dead dog's cock if someone wore a hat at my funeral

    Men don't wear hats indoors.

    Wearing a wooly hat at a funeral makes you look like a dick.

    Hats are removed for the National Anthem, passing of the Flag and funeral processions, outdoor weddings, dedications, and photographs.

    Removed hats are held in hand in such a way that only the outside and never the lining is visible.

    In places of worship head coverings are required for both men and women in Muslim mosques, and Sikh temples.

    Men are required to cover their heads in Jewish synagogues, but only married women wear hats or scarves representing a display of her increased modesty towards those other than the woman's husband.

    so says Google

    Traditionally it is disrespectful, to be fair.

    He probably has an insultingly bald head up on him.

    Remember when Sir Les Patterson was on the Late Late and read a poem he'd written about Heaney?

    Typical of overgrown children like this Edge person and Beano or whatever his name is. If we have to have "celebrities" it would be nice if they acted like adults on occasions like this.

    it would be enough to send you over the edge alright...

    Three times a man should always remove his hat;

    • At a funeral
    • Eating his dinner
    • Performing oral sex

    Don't worry he'll get his comeuppance when his time comes. Hats will be in attendance that day I tells ya.

    Three times, thats a bit of an OCD
    Wouldn't turning it backwards suffice for the latter:pac:

    who?



    never heard of any of the people in this story at all, ever


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,991 ✭✭✭DavyD_83


    Sure nobody would know who he was without the hat.
    I'm pretty sure I wouldn't even be sure it was him with the hat on these days unless he was also standing beside Bono

    He wore the hat to hid the fact that he was bald. Now everyone is discussing his baldness because he wore the hat.

    A man wearing a hat indoors is bad manners.

    A lay-man wearing a hat in a church is very bad manners and disrespectful (unless the person is entirely unaware aka stupid....a very small number of tourists are guilty of this. Although, how a grown man can go through life in a western country and not pick up the fact that men uncover their heads in churches is beyond me).

    A man wearing a hat indoors, in a church, AT A FUNERAL, is an absolute disgrace. Disrespectful.

    Wearing a hat in a church is disrespectful to whom exactly? Why is it disrespectful?

    Because God can't see what your brain is thinking with the hat in the way.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,622 ✭✭✭Ruu


    That bloody Edge! :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 954 ✭✭✭lahalane


    Does it mention in the Bible that you can't wear hats? If it does then fair enough but if it doesn't, why is it disrespectful? It hardly matters really. There's enough things to get stressed about without hats being one of them.

    Wearing a hat in a church is disrespectful to whom exactly? Why is it disrespectful?

    It is disrespectful to those who believe that a church is a sanctified place and that a man removing his hat is an appropriate sign of respect. Those people happen to be, for the most part, the community of people who use the church as their place of worship.

    If I entered any place of worship I would be only too happy to oblige and do whatever act of respect was required - I'd take off my shoes at a mosque or temple, I'd cover my head in a synagoge, I'd wear a yellow headband at the community of the yellow headband people, etc, etc.

    Same as showing respect entering someone's home.

    That's just for any normal place of worship at any time. But to not take off a hat, indoors at someone's funeral is very disrespectful.

    Basic manners and long-standing, traditional acts of respect towards places of worship and at funerals is not something we should dispose of.
