    " As usual this article smacks of racism!!! its not about black or white....its about people, and self respect. I've seen both white and black people walking around in what could be called unmentionables. And who cares what street you live on? So instead of writing an article about other peoples attire, why not spend time worring about things that really matter! AND---I liked what ASHAMED wrote...If everyone would think like you and I..the world would be a better place. But alas, we are surrounded by people who think that skin color is all that matters. "

When I am ill and need to go to the Doctors office, I get dressed. I do not walk around like a homeless person who has no cloths. But, thats just me!!!! "

    " I once had a catheter after my first child was born. I was sick and in the hospital for a week with eclampsia and was sent home with the catheter for almost a month more. I could not wear anything but a gown and robe over it and had to go to the doctors and hospital for testing every few days IN MY GOWN. There was no other way for it to be done. I had to lose my humility and get out in the doctors office this way. SHAME ON YOU for judging. "

You and others make a point to say a person's race thats the real problem. Its suppose to be ok for some to be racist and others are to be quiet well if it bothered you so much call the reverends.You have become accustomed to this way of thinking if u say it well its ok but if i say it then call the reverends.

    " To "I was there" - First of all, please learn how to spell and punctuate your sentences correctly because when you don't, you sound ignorant and it is very difficult to follow what it is you are trying to say. Secondly, you should worry less about this poor woman in the Dr.'s office and concern yourself more with the black men that want all of us to see their nasty underwear. That's just disrespectful, but then again, I've just come to expect as much. "

    " Pajamas should NEVER be worn in public. The only acceptable place that they can and should be worn outside of your home is if you are walking to the curb to pick up the morning paper. Now, there are extenuating circumstances, such as the woman being chastised in this story. If she is elderly and in a wheel chair, why do you care what she is wearing? Show some respect for the elderly, PLEASE! I'm sure this poor woman was horified that she had to be taken to the doctor dressed as she was. "

Also, forget being too weak to dress, maybe serious pain is stopping them from changing into street clothes. My question is, what are with these weak minded people who go shopping in PJ's, or wearing street clothes, but having slippers on their feet. Very weak!!! "

She was wearing pj pants, flip flops and an old ratty shirt. Her hair looked like she literally got out of bed. I was so upset that the judge allowed her in the courtroom like that! Surprisingly she lost her case. The point is that some people just dont care where they are or what the situation is. "

I'm not talking about running out to pick up your morning newspaper or someone too sick (weak excuse if you ask me) to dress before they go to the doctor. If you are too sick to dress yourself, how did you get there? I'm referring to those adults who think pajamas are appropriate attire for shopping at Wal Mart or any other store in town. "

    I was there too wrote on Aug 24, 2009 8:56 AM:

    " She was wearing pajamas and slippers. She was also 101 years old and in a wheel chair!

    There is a difference between walking the street and the doctors office. If you walk the street in your pajamas and slippers you're either crazy or too stupid to care. If you go to the doctor in your pajamas, there's probably a very good reason for it...unless you wandered in there on one of your pajama promenades.

    It's good to know even fools can operate computers. "
